From an earlier post by DrPink:
Now, over the years I've been a teacher, defended my dissertation in front of hundreds of people and played gigs on tour in a band for thousands of people, but pressing that upload button was scarier than all those achievements combined. Not knowing if people would love or hate something that I've poured my heart and soul into was gut wrenching.

That being said, I'm still appreciative that he created something unique in the adult games space. I know I'll enjoy many more hours playing all the eventual paths when it's complete.

OK... so yeah.

Pretty much every complaint I had about the previous updates and the uber melodrama. Yup. It continues. I hate to say it but there was a great game in here that was ruined by wanting to be a thriller halfway through. I know that hte story was planned out from the get go. And I know it's personal I get all of that.

It's just not a good story. Not anymore. All we really got here was another generic villain added to the mix.

Seriously, this entire game turned into a Soap Opera. And a pretty bad one at that.

Oh and let me cut off some of the usual responses before they even begin:

1. "Life is so REAL bro. You never see what's coming, and it's ain't all happiness!"
- Yeah sure, and life isn't a constant stream of misery coming from the most ridiculous places at random times either. This game WAS actually realistic, for the most part at some point. But anyone claiming that this game is in any way realistic has lost all grounds for that claim once

2. "Porn games aren't all about fapping, bro" or "It's just a porn game bro, why expect it to make sense?"
- Well yes. But getting a good balance, while hard, is definitely key. And you judge a game based on what it presents itself as.

3. "You felt something, that means he succeeded."
- No. No. And 1000 times no. You can feel a lot of things when you consume a work of art. Even bad art. Even art that has major structural problems, or horrible dialog, or makes no sense. I feel joy when watching House of the Dead because it's just THAT BAD! But it doesn't mean that it's good. AL succeeded at first because it had characters that you came to care about and a story that worked. It had a tragedy, it had emotion it had drama. And it destroyed almost all of it away over two updates.
