I tried the new version, it's pretty good, I like the new paths. I do think the endings are still pretty abrupt and you get few new images as payoff. That was an issue in the original game as well, after all the build up you want to see more of the girl. Turning it into a non-sex game does not strike me as being true to the underlying layer of eroticism that present throughout the story, it'd feel wrong to build up to nothing.
I also disagree with the poster who said the cousin sister should not have sex with the MC, life/psychology is pretty complicated. I think that's one of the more powerful threads in Watchmen, that sometimes the unthinkable does happen. People are complicated. The mother in Watchmen just wanted to move on and take the power back, not be famous for being a victim for the rest of her life. So she fucked a man who raped her years earlier when he came to beg forgiveness. And it's a very powerful moment for her daughter when she understands and accepts this about her mother, even though it shattered her feminist ideals.
I'm not saying this has to be Watchmen level, that's impossible. I'm just saying don't have a judgmental outlook, our ideologies rarely account for human complexity.
