I agree with you and mine was only a personal opinion towards some genre I like, however as many already said is frustrating to see routes that are being locked just cause you decided to go to a specific direction of the dev choice, what have to do with asking help to Clerk not being able to enjoy the swing session or again like said before, why after the spy scene in the shower (Josh I believe?) he stop of doing his nasty things, and so on, all these things are simple not included in the script and this for me is a slip (there is a reason why a lot mods for ren'py games allow you to choose multiple action where of course won't brake the original script, well mostly of the times), ofc at some point you need to make a choice cause of multiple ending and so following a determinated path but right at it is now for me is simple the wrong point, they are just multiple stories that make the full game.I will take your comments in good faith, I think the type of game you are looking for in terms of game design, slower corruption with more scenes building towards it with choices that allow you to control the degree of corruption is not present for this game. That does not necessarily make this a bad game, it just is different from what you wanted which is okay. Not everyone will enjoy the design choices made in the game. In this game, some routes are longer than others and you can see corruption take place at what I think a pretty decent pace (not slow or fast).
What this game does instead is allows you to choose the different paths in which she can be corrupted, hence it locks you in once you have made certain choices. But the advantage of this design is that you get to see her in different contexts, corrupted in different ways by different circumstances, which some people very much enjoy. There will never be a perfect game, but hopefully you managed to still enjoy it at the end of the day.
Concluding, is the dev choice of making but for me it just don't feel right and I believe all these stories where better as spin-off stand alone (except the few secret ending).
