In my playthrough I encouraged Rick to chase after Kate but
Then I talk to Rick about Kate being my girlfriend already.
lol what, is your mc bipolar?
You're right though, I've been defending this game saying that "don't worry about corruption guys, do that to unlock scenes as is required, the girl still loves you, it doesn't mean they will want to cheat on you"
If this Tia bonus scene is as bad as I'm speculating, the whole thing about "corruption doesn't deny the love they feel for the MC" is wrong.
And thus we have a game with a horrible, crap mechanic.
Unless you're a sucker for NTR, of course.
Edit: Of course, I'm not ignoring the fact that NTR off switch exists and the game should be praised for that.
But some people play with NTR on, because the premise is the punishing aspect and the game even tells you that's the way to play "as intended".
If people are getting punished to do what is necessary to unlock scenes, so yeah... crap
