One thing you have to like about Retrieving the Past is how MrKnobb integrates other games on here into it.
First with Acting Lessons, now with Our New Fate and Personal Trainer.

I wonder a bit though, why Rena has been renamed by now.

Lol after reading through the last page or so, I have to admit I do think we see Jensen's dick a bit often. ;)

Yea this VN is one of a few I have bookmarked to watch. I enjoy his blending of other stories, which I liked also, into this one very much. I thought it a well thought of way to introduce ppl to his other projects and even use some of his old animations etc for filler.

Just a small bug. I downloaded S02E01 and at the beginning of the game it mentions you should download and play S01 first if you haven't played yet and you can click the highlighted image in game which takes you to a broken MEGA folder link. The link to download S01 on this thread works though.

Correct, but on OP you can still get S1Ep1-6... Seems Mega did not allow a long enough period for that link to be active. so i have it now on GDrive also but frankly just use on in spoiler tag on first page...

This story really has taken a really weird turn. From a basic story about some dude getting to know his shy neighbors daughter and her mother to some super soldiers fighting each other, one supported by the Military and the other by some private illuminati organization ._.

Small Criticism...I know it can sometimes not be help.
I dislike it if a game I continue on with a new chapter and nothing of my playthrough of the first chapter gets carried over to the new chapter.

It kind of takes me out of the game and stops my immersion.
Another game Two wees did a similar thing and its not my favourite thing.

Not taking away anything from this game.. it's very enjoyable, but in this instance it reduces the whole playthrough to just one ultimate choice.

Just though I mention it. Not hating the game or anything, but maybe something to keep in mind for future games/episodes.

Sarcasm is anger's ugly cousin. If you are incapable of dealing with constructive criticism & other people's ideas that may not 100% match up with your own might I recommend turning the computer off, finding a nice cup of hot cocoa, a warm blanket, a soft pillow, and some soothing music to relax to in your safe space? I jest of course.

Just because someone comes from a different culture than you do it does not mean that they are "backwards". I wouldn't think someone with "Knight" in his name would consider Medieval culture to be a bad thing. It's warrior culture. You come across as someone that leans progressive to me (Since you speak of modern sensitivity). Surely you understand the concept of "cultural relativism"?

You say that I dismiss PTSD. I do no such thing, and I will elaborate on that to make my point more clear to you. (At least not when it's over something real, for instance, I won't grant someone who got trolled on twitter PTSD status. What happened to Jensen could qualify as PTSD). The way I see it bad shit happens to everyone. It is your personal choice to be a "victim" or a "survivor". Being a victim is bad, and being a survivor is good. Suppose a pair of twins got in a car wreck. They both broke both of their legs. One has a victim mentality, and one has a survivor mentality. The one with the victim mentality will sit and sulk, and constant mourning with this poor me blah blah cry, baby bullshit. The one with the survivor mentality will get physical therapy, and work hard on wiggling his/her toes and claw and scratch and tough it out & do everything in their power to fight against this seemingly insurmountable task thinking to them self "How do I eat an elephant? One bite at a time!" They do the best they can to beat this thing. The latter twin is the one I prefer of the two. Weakness is not something I value highly.

You ask "Why do I feel this was written by a woman or homosexual?" It has nothing to do with him being a "caring man" although I will admit that doesn't help your case. I feel that way because the first nude scene is a close up of Jensen's junk as he gives it a slow stroke in the shower. Following that the 2nd nude scene is Jensen running out into the hall in just a towel. Then shortly after that, the 3rd nude scene is once again Jensen's junk in the shower. Do you see a pattern here?

How could this have been made "less gay"? You may inquire. A very valid question here is a simple answer. Perhaps in that first shower scene give Jensen a flashback to his lost love. Show her naked, and sexy. Maybe she said something sexy, and memorable to him... Show that he still thinks of her, "in good times" and not just her rape/death. Show why he loves her so damn much... Thne later maybe when the girl was snapping a pic of his dick he thought back to when he saw her panties or maybe she started to slide her hand into her panties... The way it went through was.... dick dick dick dick dick dick dick dick dick all in a row like that, and that comes off as gay. Too much focus on dick appeals more to gays and women.

Someone watches too much Japanese porn. Men have penises. This is a fact of life. You are playing a man in an adult/porn game. You may have to look at the characters penis once in a while. If this offends you may I suggest sticking to that censored Japanese porn and leave the rest of us who don't feel the need to bleach our eyes at the mere sight of a rendered graphic of the male anatomy, to enjoy the game as the Dev's intended.
