I have to say that I find myself in complete agreement with much of what you have said here. I was browsing through games looking for something new and came across this one ... again. I had played it before and ditched it without finishing it but I couldn't remember why and you have just reminded me. I ditched it pretty much for the reasons you have set out above.i'd honestly blame the art for that. i mean its good enough to hold interest but its nothing special.
as for the rest of the game. well for me it was just depressing on the love route it feels like this game is meant more for the swinging and sharing crowd then it is for the harem or NTR crowd and i think the comments reflect that. which i have to admit is rare to see.
i feel llike this game jumped the gun with the dark themes of the game. personally i think the whole evil orginization should have started as new boss has taken over the company and is about to start his move to go after the girls. that way depending on players route they would either suffer and fall or be saved.
However that's just my preference, some things just felt rushed as i said. for example the situation with Cassandra the whole her agreeing to swinging meetings. in my mind it just seems like this could have held out more until the dinner date with MC. like she had just enough willpower left to resist BF's suggestion regarding this but depending on MC's response it would either reinforce that will or shatter what was left. as for the ...i'm thinking emotional abuse? that wasnt to far fetched.
As for Natacha my main issue isnt even that big. i was just annoyed that she has history as MC's GF but apparently they never got it on so MC didnt even get to bang her first. for me i was like "why even give her the title of EX Gf, just make her his childhood crush or something" i dont know, it just seemed weird to me to give her that title without giving her a sexual relationship with the MC and some other more brutal dude taking her instead. at the moment it seems she's only with her husband out of fear but yeah i already lost interest in her.
as for Lea honestly for her she just annoyed me. the whole blackmail scenario regarding her stepdad was a bit dumb for me to care about her. She literally could have recorded his ass trying to make an attempt at her (best case scenario) or on multiple occasions throughout. camera phones have been out for a while now and she isnt that old. also i personally think the stepdad should have a gone to jail as the storyline. at least that way he'd have more of a reason to go after Lea that makes sense. instead of trying to take back what's his. right now as it stands the dude got away with raping her he should be grateful she never went to the cops. screw how her mother feels about the guy. also what really annoys me, isnt Lea like the top model? if we compare to top earners in only fans she could easily hire security guards. to protect her from the stepdad at least and if that's the main reason why she listens to the boss she'd have some leg room to be able to resist him. but i'll admit i dont know how much she makes so there's that.
i might be missing a few details here and there cause at some point i just started skipping the dialogue. i would have been a patron after the first release if it wasnt for the ending on that one but eh not all games are going to be for me so i'll just take the L on this one.
I'm prepared to try it again but I'm not optimistic. I don't mind the 'love' thing. In fact, I rather like it but there is much of the story that feels contrived or ill thought through - Family, Friends and Strangers is an example of a story that, to my mind, hasn't been thought through at all; more holes than a Swiss cheese.
I don't mind complicated as long as it has been properly thought out.
