Your message means the following: “The author deceived the audience and started making another game.” The author did not announce a change in the concept of the game and continues to claim that everything corresponds to what he promised. The players' complaints are not about the events of the game, the complaints are about the inconsistency of the events, the promises of the author. The current game does not live up to its promise. It's not the players' fault. We were promised adventure, adventure is fun. Only with the wrong choice could trouble happen. There are no adventures. The whole game is bad choices. But is it the players' fault?Forgive me if you weren't referring to me. I've been lurking since 1.4 or 1.5 (I think) and also bought it on Steam. Honestly, maybe because I do like both swinging and NTR games that I am not as hung up on the same subtle changes that some of you are. I don't see any major difference in the story between versions. Of course it didn't progress as far in earlier versions, but the direction seemed obvious to me. Maybe I was reading something into it that you weren't, or vice versa. I don't really think of this as a strictly NTR game. To me, it is a swinging/open relationship game at one end and a cuck game on the other, depending on how you play it. Maybe we disagree on this point, but that's ok.
The current version has: (1) threesome w/ Donny that MC instigates (Fri night) or Steph instigates (Sat aft) or 4some w/ Donny & Gina that MC instigates (Fri night), (2) MC x Amber at club, (3) threesome w/ Gina that Steph instigates but is focused entirely on pleasing MC or foursome w/ Paul & Gina that MC instigates, and (4) scene w/ Steph and Jason if MC gives permission or w/ Steph and MC if he doesn't. There are also several minor scenes w/ Steph and MC by themselves. None of the scenes are NTR scenes, except the extremely low confidence path where you refuse to go home when your wife and Donny leave. If anything, the MC gets more action than Steph does, and that's not even counting Tori. And remember, the scenes with Donny and Paul were both started by the MC because he wants to fuck Tori. The original threesome that everyone is/was so mad hasn't happened yet or now for some reason don't want to happen at all anymore?
The game only becomes an NTR game if you don't know what NTR is. NTR is not the same as cucking and Steph doesn't cheat. She doesn't have a single encounter w/o permission. Someone mentioned that you either have to go down the path of giving permission or it's game over. I agree, that is true. So why not take that as a sign that the game isn't made for everyone? Some people will like it and others won't. Maybe some people thought the game was something different or was going to be something different. Maybe the game actually was something different at first and changed. That happens sometimes in creative work. What we have in front of us is what the game is now. I guess I don't understand why something one jerks off to, hypothetically, is causing such dismay. The whole Internet is at your disposal! You can literally find a bunch of colored pencil drawings of all the different characters in Harry Potter fucking each other.
My only real objection is not with the differing opinions on the game. It's the vitriolic, misogynistic, and frankly disgusting language that is being used by some (not pointing fingers at anyone specific) to describe Steph and Tori, but not the MC or Jason. There's just no justification for it. Anyone who hates the game/plot/characters so much that they have to be so vile, should just stop playing. It doesn't matter if that person think they were promised one game and got another. The game is what the game is and it's just a game. If a fucking adult game is causing someone that much of a problem, they really need to go do something else.
Steph invites Gina not for the MC's pleasure. Return to the MC/Steph dialogue before your sister's visit.
s "My know-it-all sister will be sitting there with a woman who sucked your cock last night while I watched."
s "If she knew, she'd fucking die!"
else:

s "My know-it-all sister will be sitting there with a woman you hit on last night while I watched."
s "If she knew, she'd flip."
Further in the dialogue there are similar expressions. Steph invited Gina for one sole purpose: to stroke her ego, to have the opportunity to humiliate and insult her sister. To satisfy her petty revenge, she uses Gina and MC as consumables, they mean nothing to her. This scene shows Steph's true colors very well.
As I understand the current version of the game.
