Isn't lockheart going to do two more games with the same father with his other two daughters?

edit: I am also a bit annoyed about the secret we won't learn until the next game.
I'm hoping the secret is that she's not really on birth control. :4Head:

While the writing is great, for all that talk about rough sex at the end of the day its a very vanilla game. Also the last scene, aka culmination of the whole story, is over before you know it. Still, developer shows great promise so I'll be playing the next project for sure.

I am reasonably certain (given that Petal said it "wasn't her secret to tell") that it's Bliss' secret. I'm also reasonably certain that the secret is that Bliss feels similarly to Petal re: fucking the MC. This is why Petal has been so insistent with trying to get the MC to look at Bliss that way. Petal's one and true desire is probably a family orgy at this point.

Great game, but the climax is underwhelming.

The idea is that the physical relationship can't continue when they go back home. They only have one night and a morning left. There's all this immense buildup. Petal will allow MC to do anything to her, and MC can't wait to shred that pussy. And sure, I understand, it's her first time, but this was a very bland climax to an outstanding buildup.

It's primarily the next morning. They wake up after the most amazing night of their lives and they just leave knowing full well they probably won't have another opportunity to freely fuck each other at home? The whole thing makes it seem as if both characters don't really care if they can't have sex anymore. For all that talk, I would've expected something to happen the next morning. But they just leave? Where's that almost uncontrollable urge that they were both talking about? I would've expected them to fuck each other at least one more time the next morning. In bed, in the shower, before leaving the cabin, at a gasstation. Somewhere...

Something like this:
"Last night was amazing, but that was last night. I have to feel you inside me one more time before we go home. We might not get the chance for a while, but we have time now. Fuck me, please!"
Or this:
"Wait, what are you doing?"
"You said I could fuck you whenever I wanted, so I'm going to fuck you one last time before we go home."
"I hoped you would say that! Fuck me, please!"
I think that something like that would've made the whole thing come full circle. That would've fit the development of the story so much more.

I really like this game, but I wish the sex scene was closer to the middle. Sex should not be the end of the game, there is so much more you can do once they finally become intimate. Seeing it as the culmination of the story, instead of taking the story to the next level of awesome, is a bit disappointing. Also, more lewds would have been amazing. :love:

Hopefully, it's that and not setting up for Moon and that's one of the hidden reasons she and the MC haven't talked in forever since her story is last and will take a while to get to.

My theory is:

Moon found out about Petal and Bliss and their desires and she got weirded out and ghosted. But not because they had those feelings but because she did too but she is totally not ready to admit like they are.

I got $20 says there is no way in hell they don't continue at home. I suspect story 2 and 3 will be the other 2 sisters and then there will be a story 4 with some form of harem or at least some kind of poly. Lokheart's othe game, Avalon, had options for 2 different 3some endings.

lockheart did say that the other two games will be about Bliss and Moon. Also, the ending said that Petal will play a big part in the next game as well so you can only assume they will continue since it will just be her and Moon in the house without the mother for now.

Great job on this game. The build up and the teasing is one of the best I've seen. The climax is not what I expected though. It was quite short and there's only 1 scene and 1 position? Though there is a certain charm to it as well when you factor in that is her first time and their F-D relationship.

I am a bit sad that the game is so short. Petal is a great character and theres more room to explore with her IMO. I am excited to see the sequels but I am hoping that after we finish the other 2 arcs we can have a finale game (i.e. 4 parts instead of 3) where all the characters are fleshed out and more fetish scenes featured. (e.g. age play and non-consensual and whatever future fetishes)

Can't wait for the sequel! I'm guessing the release date sometime in May?
