I also initially thought that I would not like the either/or routes.
But through these different routes and options, I keep discovering new scenes that I didn't know before.
And where I ask myself: Wow, what did I do differently this time?!
This gives the game an enormous replay value for me.
Whereas if I just had to click through the scenes and they were all served to me on a silver platter, I'd be rather bored after a while.
I've become a big fan of these really different routes!
Because the choices mean something and you really change the course of the story.
Although I have to admit that I try to discover as much content as possible in one playthrough.
So far I've made it so that Sophia has the following options open:
1. Patricia / Club
2. Aiden
3. janitor
4. Mr. Bennett
5. hobos
6. alyssa
7. Vicky and DeShaw
8. jailbird (very hot when Sophia imagines it!)
9. unintended but Ellie with her friend. Incest is really not my thing.
Probably unsurprising that the lesbian/filth route offers the most content on one route

But taking Dylan out of school (no Aiden) and thus getting the yoga route with Marie.... pretty darn tempting too.
And Dylan's chance with the neighbor in the pool and.... Aaaarrrgghhh I need to try another route!!!
I'm really excited to see what branch offs there are in the new update.
Cheers,
