I've been enjoying this game, but I have to admit the new update left me cold. There just wasn't much enjoyable to sink my teeth into. Maybe it's a side-effect of turning down most of the lewd scenes thus far, but given the circumstances it feels like that ought to be a very reasonable playstyle.

The MC's handling of Lucy's reunion was very awkward, almost to the point of being patronizing. I get that he's trying to shield Lucy from a lot of unhelpful attention, but there has to be a more empathetic way to accomplish that task. On top of that, we didn't get much time to examine Lucy's feelings on the reunion so the whole trip (the main subplot of the episode) felt pretty flat.

Meanwhile Sue's subplot has long since worn out its welcome. I've no interest in seeing her lewd scenes, but she still managed to be an interesting character for a little while by volunteering to have her powers copied first and discussing her insights into the MC's attractiveness to the other girls. But since then she's fallen into a real rut, pining away for the MC's attention no matter how clear I make it that will never happen. Please don't make me wish she was still in a coma. :(

To be fair, there were some good parts, it's just that they were short. The discussion about vehicles with Esther was great, and the MC inviting his tails to have lunch was a hoot. And it's nice to see Fiona finally arrive; I'm definitely interested in what we can learn about her in the next update. (Though I'm very confused how she was able to call Aurora accidentally when the MC explicitly had his phone during the road trip. Feels like a continuity gaffe.)

Speaking of Fiona, it seems like there was a flashback scene with her added to the previous update. That was certainly interesting to see (though I wish it hadn't been gated by fooling around with Tracy). Is this a regular thing? Should I be replaying the game from the start to look for new content?

Anyway, as I said I'm still looking forward to the next update, but this one didn't leave a great impression - at least it didn't on me.

So to play "harem route" I have to choose every heart choice. But what about the ones with a book, and random choices like stay watching Catherine measuring the busts?

I'm not going to defend Steam on a pirate site, but it's where I get my adult games, and here for the patches. ;)
If a Dev wants my money that's where they will get it, cause Fuck Patreon, and their never-ending Dev cycle, business model. :devilish:
SS/BB only here, simply because I want 8-30% of my money funding censorship about as much as the gov't wants their money funding terrorism. Aside from the fact most AVNs I like (mostly loli/incest genre) are illegal in some delusional foreign countries that can't tell the difference between fictional cartoon and real so are not allowed on most popular platforms like Steam and Patreon. As far as never-ending, some devs do end stories and start new ones, sometimes it just takes 5 years before doing so. Plenty of AVNs get completed in 1-2, it depends on the dev. If a story gets past the point of like beating a dead horse to a bloody pulp (ie Thirsty For my Guest, Grandma's House, Guilty Pleasure, My Pleasure, long list of others) and devolves into mostly an animated-fuck-scene-of the-month, I simply unsubbed, but these days I mostly don't give anyone money until it's finished and 1-off $20 payment if I like it, not before, that's just too risky and usually a waste of money if they abandon it and there's no way to get a refund of everything you paid to that point.

The ones with a book, as I understand it don't do anything, it's just a TL'DR option switch if you don't want to read it.

Still having a little bit more information like a normal mod isn't a bad idea...

Another "strange" story. Moreover, the content is made crookedly.
Another game from an author who doesn’t understand why porn games are needed at all.)

Did i miss a lot (apart from the obvious) by rejecting all the lewd encounters so far? None of the LIs are appealing to me for different reasons.
If you don't like any of the girls, you might want a different game :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I'm with you though, none of them really excite me. Have skipped an update or two to let some story build up and see if my opinion changes

Does this game have lesbian/NTR? Cause just from the screenshots, there's a nude woman getting groped by someone who's obviously not the (male) protagonist. q

Not that I've seen, but I'm behind on this. And that screen, the girl isn't groping the other girl.

it is people like you, and please, I mean NO Offense to you in any way .... have your kinks anyway you like ... that ruin some games due to your idea of NTR

this 'definition' of NTR that includes 'taco on taco' has caused me to pass up, otherwise good games where there is no additional 'sausage' but added 'tacos'

allow me to explain properly ....

I am not a fan of NTR ( meaning some other dude sticking it to the women/woman in my group, as in a Love Interest ) .... BUT ... I also have no issue with the same LI getting personal with a woman .....

because (similar to real life) if my woman/women want 'sausage', I have more then what they need .... but ... if that same woman wants to have a 'taco' I do not see the issue, since I do not have 'tacos' as I only have 'sausage' .... and 'tacos' do not leave an undesirable cream leftovers in her when she returns .... getting a slight aftertaste of another 'taco, when I am enjoying 'taco' is fine ..... but having a 'taco' with blue cheese is not on my menu

The thing is, is that a majority of women get aroused by other women. You're not really anymore safe from getting cucked. Besides, why does it matter the gender of who's bringing your girlfriend to orgasm? The proof is in the pudding. Lesbian sex is how authors have been trying to rope NTR-fans into reading otherwise vanilla works for decades. But the thing is, is that it disgusts non-duped people just as much as regular NTR. At the very least, games that have lesbian sex need to have the lesbian tag. I was already being gracious in including that as an option, instead of simply calling this game "NTR", as most people would probably get NTR vibes from seeing their love interest getting groped by another woman.

Are you playing the game in a different language than English? Maybe Germany? If so, then it's not about choices, but probably because some of the variables are referred to improperly. A bug that will be fixed in the next update.

If that's not the case, then could you take a screenshot of the error the next time you encounter one and post it here? I'd be curious what it is. (I guess that would be when the next version of the game is leaked unless you are okay with clicking through it again to help me out)

There is no NTR in A Foreign World.

I figure you're asking in good faith, but I'm not sure. Especially on the NTR topic, there are a lot of people I can't stand and that I simply ignore. Your idea that lesbian NTR provokes the same reaction as regular NTR is bullshit. It might be true for you, but not for everybody.
If you consider a threesome with two girls where they touch one another as NTR, then you can read the first line of my answer as "There is NTR in A Foreign World".
Idk, if the 'non-duped people' comment is supposed to be an insult intending to otherize people with different preferences than you. It certainly rubbed me the wrong way.

Also, where did you find an image of a nude woman getting groped? Maybe Monique, but that was MC himself. And then there is Lucy and Sue, but they are both fully dressed, and it's not like anyone is (emotionally or otherwise) cheating in that scene.
