Continuing with the details about the new scenes and features that will be included in the next release, today I’m going to talk about Bernard.

Bernard, also known as Bear_d on social media, is a controversial character.

I’ve received lots of messages asking for more scenes with him, saying they love his style and his fetishes… while I’ve also received messages from players saying he’s an annoying character, that they don’t want to see their beautiful targets being molested by a sadistic pervert.

Oh boy! What do I do? 🤷‍♂️

In any case, I think Bernard is an important supporting character because he represents a side of sexual fantasies that our Hunter doesn’t feel comfortable acting out.

Our Hunter gets attached to his men, falls in love with them, and treats them with tenderness even when he’s leading them down the path of slavery. He might even be a bit of a tough guy, dominant… but he doesn’t like to hit or hurt his men.

Bernard, on the other hand, has a less romantic and more dominant profile. He sees men as objects for him to play with—and they’ll obey him, by hook or by crook.

But there will be moments and characters in the game who won’t be easily won over… I have a few stories in development where the target will need a “slightly tougher incentive” to accept their new role and relationship with the Hunter.

And that’s where Bernard comes in… If our Hunter isn’t cut out for that, Bear_d is.

So in this next release, our Hunter will deepen his partnership with Bernard, have more interactions with him, and I’ll also introduce his dungeon and show how he “tames” his slaves.

But I’ll try to make this as “optional” as possible. Whether the player doesn’t want to follow that path (at the cost of missing some extra scenes) or doesn’t want to see how things were done, just the result.

In this release, the target will be Luke. Those who’ve already played through his story will notice that, at the end, Bernard tries to capture Luke—a target he’s been pursuing for a long time—but our Hunter intervenes and prevents Luke from being tamed… well… but of course Bernard wasn’t going to give up that easily.

These scenes with Luke will be optional. You’ll be able to watch the interaction between the Hunter and Bernard, but you’ll have the option to save Luke from his clutches.

For this Bernard part of the release, I’ve already developed the entire story and created the images.

But tell me... what do you think of Bernard and the scenes with him?

I love Bernard! I've been following the game since v 1.0, before the Hunter got an aesthetics upgrade and grew new hair 😹, and Bernard brings back some of that creepy vibe that the Hunter eventually lost since some players probably wanted a more "vanilla" experience. I'm an avid slave-route enjoyer, so if we were able to "rent out" every one of our slaves to Bernard like we do when we sell them to the auction that'd be really hot, like imagine sending natural submissives like Daniel or Eric to Bernard for some educational sessions - that'd be hot. 🥵

Seem goodbye with android player?

i don’t like to share my toys

Men Tension

I love Bernard! Please add him, I really like that man. Can't wait to see his basement 😋

'My' issue with Bernard is that it creates the risk of conflicting loyalties. In reality, it takes time and effort to get used to one master. Two will make it worse. Overall, it's the master's necessity to keep his boys up to his style, something that should be done personally, not with the help of someone else.

White De Vil

If we don't save Luke or intervenes, will Luke still be our lover or slave or will we miss his options forever?

Daily Adventures of a Male's Hunter

These are two different situations. The first time Bernard attacks, the player will intervene and “save” Luke, thereby winning Luke’s affection. On the second attempt, Bernard will try again, and the player will then be able to decide whether or not to intervene. However, regardless of what the player does the second time, it won’t change Luke’s feelings toward him.

Daily Adventures of a Male's Hunter

And it’s a valid concern—one that I also thought about and addressed. Bernard has this more independent and radical streak… but Hunter didn’t get where he is by being innocent and naive. He’ll have his own ways of controlling Bernard—and maintaining control over his slaves.

Daily Adventures of a Male's Hunter

Good point... Bernard was introduced precisely to fill that gap that was created when Hunter underwent a “rebranding” and became more “neutral.” The idea is to have a character who doesn’t fit conventional standards but who can also afford to have his share of handsome, muscular guys… OK, in a somewhat unorthodox way, 🙈but still…

What the fucking hell is going on here?! Dude, I can understand the path of domination, but damn it, the game is getting more and more twisted and dangerous—it’s no longer just about fulfilling violent fantasies, but about breaking a whole bunch of laws, like kidnapping, slavery, sexual assault, and so on. First we blackmail guys on the slave path, then we can sell them into sexual slavery at a sex auction in a bank, and now THIS? In my opinion, this is going too far. If someone has such fantasies and desires, that person becomes a danger to society, and your game only fuels and intensifies such fantasies. I hope you’ll stop going down this path; otherwise, every sane person will simply be obligated to write to Patreon’s technical support regarding this game, requesting that they review it for violations of the platform’s rules and for promoting sexualized violence and kidnapping.

Now that we've already met one of Bernard's other targets in Eric and successfully hunted him. Will the player or Bernard make any refrences to us stealing his prey while he's been fixated on Luke?

Step aside, Bernard haters. Let’s play in that basement. 😈 I’ve been really looking forward to this! 🔥 I’ve been waiting to see his dungeon ever since he teased Luke about it at the end of our visit to his house. 👀😈 Btw, will there be a scenario where we lose to Bernard (some sort of bad ending) for Luke? Maybe one where he fully settles into Bernard’s basement and accepts his fate—or maybe even enjoys it. 😳 Though I do agree that it would be better as an optional choice, so we can decide whether to take that path or not, just like the Frat Boys (especially Matthew) and the Painting Club during his inauguration. 👀

I think you're taking fictional content way too literally. 😅 Enjoying dark or morally questionable themes in a game doesn't mean someone wants to do those things in real life, nor does it make them a danger to society. Fiction has always explored disturbing themes without endorsing them. It's completely fine if this direction isn't for you, but the creator isn't necessarily "promoting" sexual violence or kidnapping simply by depicting those themes in an optional fictional route. We're given choices in how we want to approach the story, whether that's the romance route or the slave/corrupt routes. Personally, I usually play through both just to see what the game has to offer. Some are my cup of tea, while others aren't, and that's completely fine. Considering the romance route didn't even exist in the earlier builds, I really appreciate that the game now gives us more options to steer the story in the direction we want. I'm personally hopelessly romantic when it comes to these characters anyway and usually end up wanting them to have a happy ending with the MC. 😂 If a certain route isn't your thing, you can simply choose another one. That's part of what makes having different paths interesting in the first place. 😅

Honestly I hope these are not the only new scenes with Luke in the update. I don't really like Bernard, but I love Luke. Idc about Bernard and Luke getting scenes, but I'd be slightly dissapointed if there's not scenes with Luke alone for the people who just want that: Luke alone

Leo Ivankov

I'm not into Bernard but I do believe it adds to the game and ofc I would still try to get all his scenes. I'd also like a Hunter Pimp Route. Maybe he can pimp some of the guys online, kinda like "Rentboy" to earn more money!

Verity

Respectfully, you need to touch grass. It's really not that deep, it's just a game with optional routes, if they're not your cup of tea simply ignore them lol. If you really can't make a mental distinction between a fictional game & reality the only one whose mental health you should be worried about is your own.

Jeffrey C

Kind of was hoping for Luke without Bernard since we already had scenes with them. I love Luke but he fell on my list because of the Bernard scenes. Would have preferred Bernard with Eric if we had to do more Bernard scenes.

Ann C Ivez

Just make it as an option for people who choose slave route for the men. I know that some people are way too vanilla, but Male's Hunter is in the name. But do whatever you wish to do, dev! Maybe release Bernard sessions for the slave route men while also giving dating options for romance route men. But that would be so big of an update.

Frederico Couto

Did I miss something in my playthrought, because I don't remember Bernard at all, but just with what it's says in this update, I already dislike him.

Pilgrim

Really don't need more "slavery" and other "fetishes" of this kind. For those who may have forgotten: in most societies, when such conduct is not the result of the free consent of both parties, it constitutes a crime. Just saying :-)

AntonA

I personally find Bernard revolting. But the only way I could see him being useful in the game is if it would make other targets (Nick in particular) - more obedient as slaves; - get to actually fall in love, like Luke, if they're saved from him by us. As we get that part with Luke already, for me, personally, anything further between Luke and Bernard is redundant. But that's just for me.

Andras Farkas

Thank you for a swift reply. I'd just add one more brief thing - please feel free to take it (or not) with a pinch of salt. The things I like are not usually the thing I'd play. Even if IRL I don't like Bernard-ish attitude, it doesn't mean you wouldn't be able to develop his arch as a contrast to Hunter. And it doesn't mean I won't play it) (Let alone that Hunters IRL are also quite... peculiar characters, to say the least. But if there's a choice between a 'bad slave owner' and a 'good slave owner', one should opt for a 'good' one) Some people will surely be displeased by whatever option you decide to land on, so just follow your instincts. All in all, it's just a game, and thus it's a good way to explore and simulate various ways of interactions, even if they're dubious with real people.

Helium

I feel you should do what you find hot, whatever inspires you, cos we are gonna love it more that way. I understand people not liking one side or another, but if it is optional, they can always avoid it. I also started following since the first release, and have love every single update. Bernard is fun. People need to understand that this is a piece of fiction and art, and a great one at that.

Helium

This is ,

Personally, I don't like him and I don't hate him either. I think you should focus on your paid membership's votes in this poll more than others.

Kyle

Personally I love how hunter create dependency on his targets. Through want and pragmatism its hard to refute. Hunter makes people grow and flourish while in his "care" where as Bernard is breaking them and grinding them to the role of object. I can see both approaches as valid, but hunter is way to close to how I treat people. Bernard is surrounded by broken guys to me, scared and feeling their nothing. I do like the idea of hunter being a hero with benefits tho. Every good story needs a Vilan and ati-hero :)

No shades to you, but I despise him. I even want the bank owner to be dealt with, making it like one of his guards is an undercover agent or something. I understand it's all fantasy, but it's where I personally stand.

Mark Johnson

My issue with Bernard isn't necessarily the fetishes, but its the fact that he disrupts the power fantasy that the game develops. Its also my issue with the banker and why i eventually want to see him enslaved to the hunter as well. Bernard isn't physically my type but I think would be fine with him (even having sex with him or threesome situations) if the power dynamic is more strictly changed story-wise. Kinda similar to Nixon. If Bernard was brought in as a slave, not necessarily to be used sexually like the other guys, but as a tool to punish or have fun with other slaves, I would be totally ok with it. But the story needs to make it clear that Bernard is brought to heel and even if he has a role higher than other slaves, he must knowingly (and humiliatingly) submit to the hunter's will. He would also be more palatable if Hunter first performs anything that Bernard wants to do on the other slaves on Bernard himself. Bernard going through that level of intense submission to the hunter first, will make me more okay with seeing Bernard do those things to the other slaves. I can see interesting story situations as well where Bernard pushes farther than he is allowed, and the hunter having the option to punish (and train) him as a result. There can be fun results where its personally handled by the hunter or it could also be fun to join the abused slaves in punishing Bernard together so he is temporarily placed lower in the overall hierarchy.

Mummf

I'm with you. I despise Bernard... and the whole "bank - human trafficking - scenario" makes me consider leaving.

Luka

Are you okay? What’s the difference between this and everything else we see in tv shows/ videogames theres drugs, murders, kidnappings and a whole bunch of illegal stuff pictured everywhere in our screens and you’re making a case out of this silly game? The internet is filled with illegal and twisted fantasies 😂😂 get well soon my guy!
