You have to consider that even in rl cases of blackmail, the victim has to make some dumb decisions in order for it to happen. Decisions that mostly have to do with the victim's personality. And in the context of these games, it's not far fetched to think that person somewhat wants to get involved in this (even sub-consciously).
This game is based around Laura's flawed character who won't back down from a challenge. A character who for years maintains an illusion of control but deep inside yearns to lose it. It's not that unrealistic, especially for porn game standards. She wanted to play this game, even if she doesn't acknowledge it. When that urge can be easily rationalized by her as "protecting her wimpy loved one", it's easy to fall for the trap.
People doing extremely illogical things because of deep-seated mental issues, is nothing new irl and pretty common after all.
You probably have seen it but the other way around. A happy family man gradually being groomed to eventually wreck his home in favor of being pussy-led by some golddigger. And depending on the financial situation with quite a bit of fin-dom involved. It's more subtle than the big dick chad corrupting the woman in these games, but the psychological manipulation aspect is pretty much the same. And just as scary.
The art is amazing, it is the best I've seen on F95, but the story is frustrating.
It was supposed to be a game with two heroines, and it feels like there is only one actually.
Weren't the endings with Laura supposed to be reached after 8 months of development?

Can i climb this wall? ughhh it will require some heavy cutting.
Luca is probably just bully, they don't need reason they need prey, maybe Harry is just his favorite one.
I hope that explains it well that in humiliation person being humiliated doesn't need to know as far as bully/bystanders are concerned.
I think what you are seeking is simply not here, not in this route at least.
I wouldn't say that story was thrown for the sake of porn, the story from the very beginning was meant to be the carry for porn.
Her reason is hate, also she does have reason to keep things in secret - MC will support her and the kids for foreseeable future. It also means she can continue to get the kick out of cheating and humiliating him.
Regarding kids and future - i don't think Laura really thought about it, she will be taking one day at the time as long as this sex haze lasts.
Different appeal, AtelierSakura games are netorase for the most part and i don't like them at all. The one in your example got some netorare sparkled at top but all and all MC has the NTR kink and it backfires on him.
First of she is not acting on reason, second I've explained what drives Laura to hate Harry in the post you quoted. What do you make out of it?
Luca is probably just bully, they don't need reason they need prey, maybe Harry is just his favorite one.
Think about it as sticking a paper on someones back with some humiliating words. If he realizes that quickly the fun is short, but if he keeps walking with it you just keep having fun just looking at other people reactions and his reactions to them. At some point you don't even care about if he learns about it because you had so much fun already with they way he got humiliated without knowing.

IT is absolutely real for one to marry for financial stability but be in love and fuck someone else regularly.

Here again, you just want MC to be aware of things - that does happen for end 1 for the route.
Her reason is hate, also she does have reason to keep things in secret - MC will support her and the kids for foreseeable future. It also means she can continue to get the kick out of cheating and humiliating him.
Those games /stories assume that the reader inserts themselves into the MC position. aPBLU doesn't. That is why there is the pov selection at start. That is why you have this route that keeps MC out of the loop.
Same as above. Let me just add that you expect sane behavior from someone that has undergone blackmail, rape, through mental training, all while pretending everything is fine in front of others. No i think she is simply insane in her hate, except rather then stabbing him to death she will cheat.
Regarding kids and future - i don't think Laura really thought about it, she will be taking one day at the time as long as this sex haze lasts.
The same people that set 1234qwer as their password? Also it is not said how Harry got the code it is said "same ping she uses for pretty much everything". Another thing... there are cameras! Would Harry or anyone for that matter sabotage her they would quickly got found out. Well in this case the cameras are used against her! So the setup is strong as f.
Secondly Luca's papa is mafia boss, i think it is reasonable for one to have mistrust towards police when everyone knows guy is with mafia and walks free.
You didn't come here for NTR story to begin with so be on your way.

"Revenge cuck" aka "pwease add kill the Luca ending" is most pathetic excuse for NTR-addiction.
20 years is a long time to wait for a reveal. Can you imagine how Luca would feel if Harry died 5 years later completely oblivious? Maybe he will have time to record a video before he dies telling Laura how happy he is to have shared his life with her. Completely clueless but happy... Luca would shit himself.

You should read the sequel to Mayumi. It has an interesting twist regarding the event which sparked MC'S fetish, though it does clarify that

Regarding 0.6.0, I definitely have a different understanding regarding people's "dark inner selves" than other people here. This being fiction, it has its own internal logic that doesn't need to be (and often benefits from NOT being) realistic. People have inner demons, dark sides, two wolves, or other euphemisms for internal motivations that aren't expressed, but their presence doesn't foretell some unavoidable outcome. Had Laura been honest with Harry about not just what happened with Luca, but her complex feelings about her parents, she could have overcome the toxic influence of her traumas. That potential for a happy ending makes the outcomes of the "Normal" endings more tragic/thrilling/unenjoyable/hot (YMMV). I see a lot more about Harry that could have saved Laura in "Family" that I didn't in "Future", and I think Laura does too. She still conflicted in "Family", but now she's inverted from how she started. In the "Family" ending, Laura is repressing her "good" side. Unwilling to face her "inner angel".
I think it's interesting. But also less erotically thrilling, imo. I look forward to more endings.
I'm sure we'll get more answers regarding the "I'm Sorry." in other endings, but it feels out of place and lacking in meaning here.

Dunno how hard it is to make, but a way to navigate within the endings list would be nice.
Clicking on a step towards an ending could take you to that step.
If you wanna limit it somewhat you could require that people have read all the lines up till the point they're clicking.
It is already getting to be a lot of re-reading with the different endings.

It is still gonna be a mess. Which path does the options you're choosing from belong to? There are 3 possible already.

Most of the decisions aren't branching points. They're more like a point system, as in "If trust Lauren score is >3, proceed to Route B". I also tend to just auto skip through scenes when aiming for a new path by holding Ctrl.
Maybe I shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Looking at the FMC design, I thought she would actually be an intelligent character, but of course no. It's an NTR story. You need dumb characters to make NTR happen.
The game itself is pretty interesting, I actually like it. Just not a fan of Laura's change, visually. It loses her only charm, somehow. The route should end there IMO. Well, at least it matches her intelligence level.

Why are you fighting against something that would add convenience to the game?
You're absolutely right in your assessment. And that's exactly what I'm saying will be a mess compared to clicking one button. Waiting 5-10 mins holding CTRL, possibly having to save and go to the main menu cuz you don't remember the path.
Granted, it's not as bad for those of us who play as routes come out, but it'll be a real mess for first time players when the game is done.
While I remember it... I do have an idea how complex this is to make. Either make the buttons lead to something akin to a save OR 'go to' with XYZ stats.
Thanks, I value and cherish your comments. But to clarify, I don't care about Harry. I want to see Laura debase herself to someone she loved, then hated. I want to see her fear the source of those original emotions, terrified until she is nothing more than a quivering toy who can only seek refuge from that fear through pleasure. Luca's place in her life is born from corruption of her original innocence, she doesn't have that original connection to him that she considered pure. That connection to Harry though, those memories of what she lost would torment her. And losing that new state of mind with Luca would be further torment because she has nothing left to fall back on.
You get off on Harry's humiliation all you want, I'm fine with that and can totally understand it even though that's not what flips my switch. I identify with Laura, and a continuing downward spiral for her is exciting for me to vicariously enjoy.

haven't seen a response to it, but I also don't know if the creators actually still active on this thread. Cross my fingers for next update if I don't see a response before then.
Main reason of that bug it's a size of original pictures and transform operations applied to them. You can resize all pictures to 1080p but they will smaller in game. Need to modify scripts as well, but they in compiled (binary) form.
