Really enjoying this so far. The Lily and Rei parts have been really cute, The Godess is fun and Marie and Tessa's models are great altough I feel like there's a bit too many blondes.

My only real complaint so far is that the whole Hana plotline just kind of fell flat. I don't mean that I would have liked a worse revenge or anything but the whole confrontation and the result just feels kind of underwhelming and off. If she was that ready to quit her job why would she even have cheated in the first place ?
I know most people would probably prefer she didn't appear again but I'm hoping there will be a bit more to this maybe related to the whole project nexus thing because as it stands the whole situation just feels like a cheap hook for wanting revenge.

No thats just getting a different scene. I'm talking about moving the storyline forward via hypnosis. Right now it just unlocks alternate scenes. But Tessa is a prime example. You could try to use hypnosis and fail or just talk to her and succeed. Hypnosis is actually more difficult to do and largely a waste of time.

The whole point of hypnosis is that its a shortcut to get what you want. Why else manipulate someone's mind for no true gain?

I've mentioned this before, but I'll clarify it here to avoid further questions on this topic. At the beginning, the hypnosis, particularly the MC's hypnosis, is weak, making it risky to use. Hence, the emphasis on evoking emotional reactions, as it hampers logical thinking and increases the likelihood of successful hypnosis. It's also established in the game that with repeated use, the power of hypnosis grows, reducing the risk of failure.
On the other hand, not using hypnosis might seem like a consistently successful choice because the MC always has persuasive strategies. However, if there's no time for preparation or the other person can't be easily convinced, then hypnosis becomes a more potent option compared to traditional persuasion.

Do you have further questions?

I understood the buildup in power, it is explained well in game. So i went back through and chose all options that resulted in a hypnosis.

My main issue is trying to hypnotize Tessa and failing , which seens to happen either way. No matter what this ends in a game over. So why is this option even here? I tried hypnotizing tessa and failed, hypnotized Rei, the daughter, the maid, and Hana yet when I got to Tessa it still failed. Am I missing something here?

Ok, time to join the fray.... Its surprisingly dangerous in here LOL.


LONG STORY SHORT: I liked it.

LONG STORY LONG:

1.) The "turn back the clock" theme has been done before, but considering how short it has any relevance on the plot it posses no problem. My only issue is that its not explained why the MC couldn't go back further, but based on the writing it seems like we'll find out why later, I don't know or care, as long as we get some closure. Don't leave me hanging like Maz in "The Force Awakens" with " A good question, for another time" to explain how she got the lightsaber.

2.) Lily is perfect and well done. That's it.

3.) Rei is a great concept, and in the hypnosis route she's perfect, but the non-hypnosis route I think she moves a bit too fast. I don't think she's tainted by the knowledge of the cheating, she with or without hypnosis provides the MC with what he needs to confront his Cheating GF.

4.) Hana is an interesting concept, but she can be done better to offend less people while still contributing to the story. Multiple options exist:

a) We get to see the clip of them "cheating" and its straight up she's crying, protesting, trying to get out of it (because she knows its wrong)
b) we get to see the clip of the "cheating" and its like a kiss
c) we get to see the clip of them "cheating" and she's sitting on his lap nothing else
d) we get to see the clip of them "cheating" and she's in some kind of BDSM situation but no sex
e) Soft re-write players can choose no-cheating as an option, but because she was unfaithful in the previous timeline, mc still hypnotizes her to prevent cheating this time.

5.) The "goddess" is an interesting character, looking for more development there.

6.) Mrs. Stones and Astrid look like a fine pair of acquisitions on the road to revenge.

7.) Tessa..... Verry interesting character.... I wonder why she could break the hypnosis.

You have to use hypnosis on Rei twice, Hana, Astrid, then Lily. Either you missed one or more, or you didn't start the game from the beginning, which is required for 0.3.0

Afterwards, you will get a scene where the MC said something about his power growing. If the scene doesn't play then your hypnosis won't work on Tessa.

Will there be any consequences in the future if I decide not to hypnotize Lily and Astrid, or does it only affect the use of hypnosis on Tessa?
