Voice acting is a terrible waste of time and money for AVNs... but as long as we have the option to mute that shit then I guess it's fine. They're better off not bothering with it at all though.
I agree. I'm not a fan of VA or music in AVNs. I mute everything and listen to my own music. But if the dev wants/likes it then it's their decision.

It might be a personal thing for me, but I'm an avid reader and I literally never watch TV or movies. The characters sound a certain way in my head and voice acting fucks with that. I mean do people actually like voice acting in these things? Whenever I see a dev float the idea of voice acting, the reactions are usually pretty negative to the idea. I don't don't why devs even waste the time and money on it. Besides, voice actors willing to take jobs doing erotic VNs are never very good to begin with.

Since they're not moving images, it doesn't make sense to have dubbing. Whenever I play a visual novel with dubbing, I always switch to the next slide halfway through what's being said. And for those with visual impairments who need voice, Ren'Py itself has a built-in feature.

Yep Elly is insane. Not that I mind that much but she's definitely taking advantage of her cousin and his lack of memory. On the other hand Ashley is pretty much straight to the point and wants her nephew's penis in her vagina. I don't know what happened when they were younger apparently our mc has violent outbursts and killed a....rabbit? but this family definitely has issues. I don't mind incest, in fact I love it, but it's a different pace then what you usually get in vn's where everyone is all hesitant and whatnot "no we shouldn't do that it's wrong".....and that's not a bad thing.

When I started I thought Elly just didn't know it was her cousin and they were actually gonna hook up not realizing who they were hooking up with but now I can see Elly is insane. I'm still playing her route and haven't finished all of it so I don't know the extent the issues go maybe she always had a crush on him when they were younger we'll see. At one point I thought maybe their parents caught them when they were younger kissing or something but I don't think that's it.

I completely agree EXCEPT for Being a Dik. There was some banging music in that one. Best of Me went harder than it deserved.

Just started this (playing the standard non-incest version for now). Have ran into something that feels a little odd though. If you don't have the MC go to the party when Kevon asks him, he decides to go anyway later on and meets a redheaded girl in the park. I had the MC ask for directions to the party, thanked her and left. Except the following day when he sees her in class she's visibly pissed off and the MC is forced to apologise for 'blowing her off'. I get that you're probably supposed to invite her to the party after getting the directions to be on the 'correct route', but how is not asking a random person you've literally just met (and don't even know the name of) to a party supposed to be gravely insulting? Or is she one of those bitchy types who thinks everyone she meets should be trying to get with her because she's just that hot and is offended that he didn't?

I'd understand that she thinks that, but why would the MC think that? As far as he knows at that point in time, she was just a random person in the park he briefly asked for directions. Why would he think the next day "I have to apologise because I blew that person off"? What did he blow off exactly? Does the MC think he's supposed to talk to and spend time with every random passer-by he comes across? It's just strange. Some of their later scenes come off as strange too. The MC's supposedly awkward in social situations and doesn't think a lot of himself, yet somehow gets it in his head that Elly fancies him, despite there being nothing in their prior interaction to point to that... unless he's counting that text msg exchange after his apology in the first English class where they agree to be study-buddies as her flirting with him? Seems a stretch though.

The interaction with the cop, Paloma, is a bit odd too. When she gets his camera SD card down at the station, there's a few lines of dialogue between them that I didn't understand which seems to point to some kind of earlier interaction or them already knowing each other, but that's literally the first time he's met her in my playthru. Also

the content unlocked symbol flashes up and there's a scene where Paloma comes onto him hard talking about him being her S&M sub, despite the stats page saying he has 0 points with her and her extra content is locked, before that scene.

I want to like the game and the story seems decent so far, just some of these character interactions I don't get at all. And some of the dialogue choices just seem like slightly different ways of saying the same thing, only saying it one way will get points while saying it the other way will lose them, even though the difference is so small that it shouldn't matter. Like the difference between texting "Hey" and "Hey <person's name>".

Mai reminds me on Melissa Collazo. Coincidence or model is created according to her image? :unsure:

The main character acts like such a weeb, wimp. Makes it painful to play through, but there are good points to it once you get past expecting the MC to ignore the obvious clues and opportunities given to him. Jeez, as an older man I worry about the beta character traits we are teaching our boys. The kind of beta attitudes that would even create character traits that are so wimpy.

Yeah it's hard to empathise with such an apologetic dweeb like the MC. Always apologising and missing the openings given to him.

I think that dating app only lets you have a date with one person, and if you mess up the conversation with that first one, it becomes useless.


And this woman is Paloma, whom you find out is a police officer later in that scene you mentioned. She's kind of into BDSM, so in her questionnaire to get a date, you pretty much have to like suffering.

It's a scriptwriting failure to not prepare the lines properly if you've never had contact with her
