Just started playing, a few translation errors. only trains have conductors, trucks and cars have drivers. But more of an issue, the airlines on truck brakes hold the brakes open, if you cut the air line like you showed the trailer brakes would instantly apply on all wheels., not on the cab but on the trailer.

Kinda disappointed with this update, not gonna lie. Just my opinion but I thought spending an entire update on flashback scenes takes away from the present timeline. I understand that dev has to build some backstory of how they met and who Nicole really is etc but if dev would have done it in incriments throughout the story versus ending an update with mostly unfamiliar characters it would have better continuity throughout. The way this update ended sort of left a bad taste in my mouth and left me asking "Who the hell are these people? Why should I care?"

Although I intended to finish the flashback update sooner as well, but creating the flashback characters is critical because they will all be back in the present update as well; you should care because they are vital to the story.
The backstory was not just for portraying Nicole's prior life or Nicole and MC's love life, but also for showing MC's previous relationship to one of the most important people in the United States

The main quest has not even begun (FROM EPISODE 1), the endings are only for that particular episode.

Btw, you don't need to max either points. Just make sure one point is higher than the other.
The ending was great, particularly the foursome event, but in line with JamieSadistic 's comment, it left an odd taste in my mouth - like okay, that was hot, but that was a whole ton of text and screens spent on ancillary characters when that's precisely the kind of action I would have expected in the initial BBQ party with Nicole and truth-or-dare game.
==============================================================
Also, I can't be the only one that gets vertigo trying to track all the characters. Ya gotta have more spacing between new introductions, this is one of the only games I actually had to jot down names on a piece of paper to keep them straight because the introductions and segues are so rapid.
A large cast of characters is great, but give the player some time between introductions and they'll organically absorb the new information - e.g. - Alison is Tolkein's wife, Tolkein is your friend, so have a few short primer interactions between you and Tolkein and you Tolkein and Alison before shoveling this who's who of an attendance list at the party. Yes, I realize there are some prior interactions, but it's simply not enough to track the characters organically.
Other than those critiques, love the overall direction the game is going.

Out of all the HTML real porn games that has various routes including NTR, this is the only one that I've played that actually has real NTR and not just some cuckold sharing netorase thing (this game has that too, but it also has an actual NTR path with nice build up).
I was surprised that you could actually play as a faithful (for the most part) husband but have the girls cheat on him, and that this route was written pretty well with girls behaving within the bounds of my suspension of disbelief. That damn Tori NTR scene at the end was incredibly hot.
Good work. I'll probably play the Chad MC route at some point too.
Edit:
If I may make a suggestion that you could consider or ignore. My understanding is that you want a sort of tit for tat cheating between the male and female side. Like if the dude is a bit unfaithful or neglectful, the girls will be pushed into other men. That's cool, but it would be nice if there is at least a possibility that you could play a reasonably loving and stand up guy, but the girls still fall to other dudes on the NTR route. The fact that we can control the major female chars helps make this possible. Just some thoughts from an NTR enjoyer. Basically, the story where the husband is a cheating bastard or neglectful asshole which then pushes his wife to NTR him out of spite is a pretty believable turn of events, but it's also a bit weak in NTR corruption/immorality aspect (the husband just deserves it so the wife isn't betraying him much).
The Tori NTR route requires you to max Lust points, which was done by being neglectful. The reasonable writing saved this route for me because the husband was still acting within normal bounds and not being a total asshole that breaks character. It was possible to believe that he is a well meaning husband so far that doesn't intentionally fuck up his relationships or try to bang every pussy that comes across.

Tit for Tat was the situation with Tori but I don't think it'd be same with Nicole. Nicole and MC both are alpha unlike Tori.
Up until episode 3, any amount of cheating Nicole did was not a result of MC being unfaithful, infact at one point Nicole asks MC if he's cheating on her to which he strongly denied.
They both love each other and are strongly opposed to the idea of one another cheating.
That's why I enjoy this game so much: it has types of NTR (avoidable), action, as well as comedy and drama.
Why do I suspect that the same couple having a loving wife with a philandering husband wouldn't rank as high on your corruption/immorality meter?
Depends on how it will be written. If he is self aware that he is being a bastard cheater, it's fun. If he is making a harem, and the story moves in that direction where the wife and everyone is cool with it, the it's no longer spicy.Why do I suspect that the same couple having a loving wife with a philandering husband wouldn't rank as high on your corruption/immorality meter?
I'll get around to playing it that way (NTR off love focused wife and lust focused husband) some day. Venus Blood Gaia is taking most of my gaming time atm though.
Oh well then in that case I agree with you wholeheartedly - in a perfect game there would be 4 variants of cheating routes - loving wife/sleazy husband, loving husband/sleazy wife, apathetic-jerk husband/cheating wife, apathetic-cold wife/cheating husband.

Sadly, the first variant is like a needle in a haystack on this site.

Hello Everyone,
Let me first provide update for the exciting part: the most recent Options/Benefits/Changes.
1) Several individuals complained about missing of sound in the sex scenes, so starting with episode 5, most videos will have control options, although it will be muted by default.
2) Sex scenes links previously only featured text, but starting with this update, there will be an option to switch to photos, akin to small thumbnails. (It is enabled by default but can be disabled in the Options menu)
3) In-game hints are already a good option for patrons, but they can be missed at times, so a new Hint option will be available in the Gallery Menu, where you can click on the Hint button to see what you need to do to get to that scene. This option will be available for "Lust Patrons" and Above, as patrons above "LUST" already have the Gallery Unlocker option.
4) The Cheats Menu contains a variety of options, but some are only applicable to a certain episode, so the cheats section will have accordions for each episode to make it easier for patrons.
First two benefits are already added, remaining two will be added soon.
Status Update:
Although I had planned to finish Part II for MC and the remaining Part III for Nicole this week, I was only able to finish Part II for MC since I underestimated the branching and varied routes for this.
Depending on the choices you made in the last episode, you will be able to pursue numerous possibilities, However even if you did not chose a certain path, Cheats can be utilised to take a different path.
To summarise, Part II for MC is finished, and Part III for Nicole should be finished by Monday, and then I'll aim to finish Part III for MC by the end of next week, followed by the ultimate finale.
I'll provide the exact release dates in the next status update.
Thanks again for your support,
Let me know if you have any question or concerns.
See you next week with the release dates.
