I have to point out that the backstory for Vicky depict a pretty backward description about Chinese views on the gender of their children.
Speaking as a mainlander myself, it is true that traditionally Chinese families prioritized males over females, because we used to consider daughters part of another household, especially after they have been married, and we do not expect daughters to take care of their parents when the parents are no longer able to take care of themselves. Though even then, we still provide whatever education we can for them, the richer the family, the better educated the daughters. The sons, on the other hand, are still considered part of the household, and are expected to take care of their parents.
Nowadays, however, the traditional view has long been discarded. This kind of mentality can only be seen in the most backwards of places, and only in the most remote countrysides. Today, Chinese families want daughters more than sons, due to marriage being profitable (a subject for another day). Consider the fact that this story did not take place in a Chinese countryside, I find it hard to believe any families would consider the actions taken in Vicky's backstory.
Please forgive the rant; I wrote this not because I am offended, but because I find it funny that in 2021 still people adopt "Chinese favor sons than daughters" and use it as a legit plot or backstory. I am not demanding you to rewrite her backstory, I am merely pointing out the fact that it is illogical to use this trope as a backbone for an otherwise complelling story.
Otherwise, you have made a pretty good game. Good looking characters, conceivable lines of dialogue, and relatable situations. Good luck with your game!

I’d also add that just because someone’s experience doesn’t match a story doesn’t mean the story is completely wrong. Let’s wait to see where the story goes from here.

About 25 minutes in. Little disappointed that it seems I was invited solely to do chores and be eye candy. I really don't want to have anything to do with the trashy looking blonde so far. I'm sure there is more to her, but I am going to try my best to avoid her like the plague in the meantime. The writing so far is a bit of a mess. Some of the dialogue between the characters is just plain odd as well. The models and renders are pretty great, and I actually like the soundtrack for once which shocked me. I find myself looking forward to playing it again when I get the time though.

I think her backstory was pretty clear, the fact that she was adopted did not change anything. In fact, one might go as far as to say she being an adopted child only worsened the situation, but I feel the focus of her statements is still placed on the fact she was adopted into a Chinese family, which "favors their son mroe than their daughter". If what you say is true, then she simply don't have a reason to mention it. Why add the ethnicity to that sentence?Sol Invicti I can't speak for the dev, but perhaps the other key ingredient here may be that Vicky is also adopted. It is not an uncommon perception - regardless of ethnicity - that parents can end up favoring their biological children over their adopted ones (Loki of the MCU, for example, certainly thought that was the casewhether real or imagined).
Now Vicky does indeed explicitly state that her family favors the male, but she then immediately goes on to add that what they were "shamed" on was her outperforming their own son. So it may not be as clear cut as it may seem.
Sidenote: Jenny is also adopted, so I guess we shall see if that will be used against her when her conflict with her brother comes to a head.
The shame her parents felt might not be because of them prohibiting her to participate in the tournaments, but because they felt ashamed that their own son, a boy, was unable to outperform a girl in martial arts. It is still very common for Chinese parents to criticize their children for "bringing shame to the family", especially in competitive environment. Granted, that's a pretty heavy accusation, but some use it more liberally than others.
I do not seek to argue with you; the interpretation of the story varies violently from one to another. Good day to you, and have a nice weekend.

You need to download the Gold patch from the first page and then put it into the game folder of the main game, that should let you see the images that you're missing.

I think this game should add Heather and Susan into relationship list. It should be interesting to see how it end with these ladies. Now who the heck is Rosa? It only show her a short time when she go to Uncle home. About MC and Ashley, there is no way that both can be brother and sister because MC mother died after gave birth of MC and MC have told Ashley to leave her mother so.

Kinda funny, when I last played I ended when the "End of Chapter 1" screen came up. Started it today to play more just to realize that was the end of the game so far.
Anyway, I have to say that I really enjoy this game. The characters and dialogue are well written and choices really do matter (I got a scene at the end with Vicky on my second playthrough that I have no idea how I got it), the music is good and the game focus first and foremost on story and characters with sex coming second, making it more than just a porn-game.
I really start to care about these characters and the hug with Valery was such a beautiful scene.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter and hoping the rest will be just as good!

That sexy booty belongs to sweet Aurora (girl on the right).

Susan would be an interesting option as LI tho. Jenny and Susan can suck and bounce on MC's dick while Jenny's retarded bro' can kiss his ass for good measure.
