There are 13 choices in the game so far. Of course, it shouldn't be called a Kinetic Novel... On the other hand for the sake of debate... I'm going to play Devil's advocate here.should request kinetic novel tag be removed..there are some choices..which makes it a vn..also gives it more mass appeal..kn chases some away so no sense crippling yourself with that tag if it is unwarranted
It feels more like a Kinetic novel than a visual novel to me, and I'll explain why. I'm going to list off every possible choice in the game:
1) Choice set 1: Choose your name or not? Okay, custom name not really a "choice" just a customization, a nice feature sure, but still not a real choice. It's in the same ballpark as the "Are you 18?" question.
2) Choice set 2: A list of 4 sex aniamtions & move on. Not really choices here other than pick this animation or that one, and can do them all.
3) Choice set 3: Spank the girl or get a blowjob. Honestly, it would be better to have the option to do like in choice set 2, and take them both, but it changes nothing.
4) Choice set 4: Similar to choice set 3. Sex or handjob. Does anyone ever pick handjob in such a case? Well this choice is completely irrelivent and your answer is "Wrong" either way. The obvious choice here was "Blowjob".
5) Choice set 5: Immediately after choice set 4. Girl 1 blowjob, Girl 2 blowjob, or both girls blow you. Obvious choice here is to go for a double blowjob, but again it would probably make more sense to do like choice set 2 was yet again and do all of them with an option to "move on" after.
6) Choice set 6: Feign ignorance vs Call out dude: Actually... This is the first real choice of the game that is not sex related not counting the naming. I think this changes like 1 or 2 lines of dialogue and that's it. Either the guy is more or less angry at you, but I don't see any consequences behind this.
7) Choice set 7: Buy some girls drinks or leave: Doesn't seem to change anything either way we don't fuck these girls at least not yet.
8) Choice set 8: This company or that company: Doesn't seem to change anything other than a line of dialogue
9) Choice set 9: Now we are cooking, similar to choice set 2 but this time it is 3 sex animations with a moving on.
10) Choice set 10: Choose next girl to talk to of a list of 2. Talking to Mellisa first simply skips talking to the other girl though. A misleading choice for sure.
11) Choice set 11: Tell a girl to get ready or tease her. Telling her to get ready simply skips any sex scene.
12) Choice set 12: Hands or mouth? Again better to do this like in set 2 or set 9 and get both, but can only have one, but can save nad redo. Don't think it makes a difference in the big scheme.
13) Have girl wear this dress or that dress... This actually changes quite a few renders, but I don't think it really changes anything.
That is EVERY choice in the game so far. 13 menus may seem like there are lots of choices, but it's still fairly kinetic.
Choice 1 = character naming
Choices 2,3,4,5,7,9,10,11, & 12 = Simply sexual or skipping a scene
Choices 6, and 8 are seemingly inconsequential choice
Choice 13 = Wardrobe preference
The completely linear nature at least so far leads me to believe this is closer to a kinetic novel than a visual novel, although there is some case for it to be a visual novel. It's difficult to say if this should be classified as KN or VN.
I want to run something past you here. Suppose for argument's sake there was a straight-up completed Kinetic novel on this website. There are a few. I download a random one, unpack it mod it up. I add 0 new renders. I add a few lines of possible minor dialogue changes with some menus, but not too many. The game didn't have a custom name option, but I add one at the start. I take every sex scene, then cut it into pieces to choose from a menu, and allow of skipping some of them. I toss the new script into the thread saying "I modded it". Would you classify this mod that I have created to remove the Kinetic Novel aspects of this game? Is it no longer a kinetic novel? In the example given lets say I added a dozen choices. Would it no longer be kinetic? Say I did the same thing but only like 3 choices?
I think this game falls into that gray area where it's not really a Kinetic Novel or Visual Novel but somewhere in between.
