Am I the only one who has problems with parts of the game itself rather than with its development?
My biggest gripe is with the writing. The entire game has this lack of self awareness that detracts from the entire experience. The MC has no consistent character. He will fluctuate from a relatable everyman to a sniveling masochist to a sneering sadist to a hopeless romantic often within the same route and sometimes within the same scene. The route that most embodies this is the Mia/Helen route. The plot starts as an earnest coming of age romance story, with the MC helping his childhood friend navigate her personal problems. It's a charming story about the girl next door except for when it isn't because it's been interrupted by church themed BDSM scenes. It's like someone intercut Pump Up The Volume with scenes from Bible Black.
Even Roxxy's route, which most people seem to consider the best written, is full of things like this. Much like Mia's route, Roxxy's starts out like a teen comedy. It is ostensibly a fun story full of character growth where the MC wins the heart of the cheerleader, a la Revenge of the Nerds. However, this route is also full of tone shattering moments such as when he burglarises the house of the principle, or cheats on his newly minted lover with her mother while in the same room. However, the part that annoyed me the most was Dexter's fall from grace. One of the scenes meant to show how terrible Dexter is shows him groping one of the girls. We are supposed to hate Dexter for doing this, despite the fact that the MC gropes multiple characters, cums in his mother's panties, fucks his sister in her sleep, spies on his neighbours while they're getting dressed, and cheats with a nurse while at the hospital to check whether he's fertile enough to be able to impregnate his aunt. Even in Roxxy's route alone there are plenty of scenes like this, such as the aforementioned cheating with her mother.
My point is that the game has no consitent internal logic. While it must be admitted that it is a porn game and is thus a literal masturbation fantasy, the constant hypocrisy is still frustrating.
Also, Jenny's new face is repulsive. The way the corners of her mouth jackknife up could only be called a smile in the Glaswegian sense. Her new art is objectively worse.
