What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Leaving DNA is a serialized visual novel. There are three completed episodes with roughly six hours of playable content. Eight episodes are planned. Buying the early access version of Leaving DNA means you will receive all new episodes as they are released.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“There are eight episodes planned. Although I can't predict the completion date with accuracy right now, my goal is to finish the game by late 2025.

Episodes Four and Five will all be released as they are completed, and then Episodes Six, Seven, and Eight will all be worked on simultaneously and published when all three are finished.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“My plan is for the final version of Leaving DNA to feature all eight episodes of the story. Player choices will open up new story branches and there will be multiple endings available.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Three of eight episodes are complete. There are roughly six hours of content in the first three episodes which include over 6,000 still renders, 75,000 words of dialogue, 70 story choices, 47 music tracks, four animated story-lewd scenes, three unlockable bonus scenes including two more animated lewd scenes, ten unlockable bonus renders, and an engaging story that will draw you in and leave you waiting eagerly for the next episode.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I may gradually raise the price as I finish additional episodes.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Player feedback is welcome! All supporters of Leaving DNA can easily communicate with me through Discord.”

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Leaving DNA is an adult visual novel with dark themes of sadness and tragedy. It contains some graphic sexual scenes and it deals maturely with serious topics like murder, rape survival, and the effects of child abuse.

***DON'T BUY THIS GAME IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A "PORN GAME" OR LOTS OF SEX SCENES. THIS IS NOT A PORN GAME. WHILE THERE ARE SOME GRAPHIC SEX SCENES, THERE IS MINIMAL SEXUAL CONTENT IN THIS GAME COMPARED TO MOST OTHER ADULT VISUAL NOVELS. THIS GAME IS FOCUSED ON STORY AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.***

About This Game

SYNOPSIS
Leaving DNA is an adult visual novel where you play as Assistant District Attorney Rockford. The choices you make will shape the relationships you have with each of the women and will open different paths for Rockford's character development and the game's plot.

STORY
Assistant District Attorney Rockford is an idealistic, well-respected prosecutor dedicated to the principles of the American criminal justice system. But while enjoying tremendous professional success, the thing he wants more than anything has always been just out of his reach--a family. His mother died when he was very young and he never met his father, an elite special forces soldier. And his romantic entanglements, though plentiful, have always ended with his partner frustrated by his paradoxical aversion to intimacy.

But Rockford's life is about to be upended: a cryptic clue in a cold-case murder will set him on a search to discover his father's fate. And learning the truth will push the prosecutor to question his dedication to the rule of law and to reconsider the meaning of family.




Rockford's search will bring him closer to four beautiful women: a tenacious homicide detective with whom Rockford has a romantic past; a brilliant prosecutorial colleague and childhood friend; a steely ex-military combat instructor with her own notions about the justice system; and a sweethearted schoolteacher whose past and future will link up with Rockford's to change both their lives forever.
