I felt much the same. The good news there is another two games that follow for the story. I had decided I was done after game 1, but the reveal has given me a new hope for the series especially on the HC path. Steph is a bit too much on the low path. Speaking of, going forward I don't have a lot of expectations, I'm just happy to let the story flow, my only hope is Steph will be a new Steph who is a bit more appreciative of her husband for putting up with her and maybe a bit apologetic and remorseful for a while to earn her place back by his side. I'm probably expecting a bit too much.I liked it a lot. I had signed on to the "she's a nympho" theory awhile back, so I felt like the reveal closely matched the evidence I was already assuming was true to try and understand Steph's weird behavior. I think that's a testament to the author and an indication that this is not bad writing like some have claimed. Even if some scenes were hated and we all didn't appreciate a character's behavior from an "I want to be in full control of the sex scenes" perspective, the scenes are there to clue us in to what's really happening with Steph. Her condition is a fun mystery that's almost solvable before the reveal, if one can get over having a bossy wife in heat! Per the Steam feedback, I think an option to just skip some scenes would make a lot of people happier and make Steph look a bit better to those intolerant of her Friday night antics. My opinion of Tori improved drastically, which made me really happy because I was nervous about disliking a central character for the rest of the story. Who would have thought she'd be the one who seems to have MC's back the most! I still absolutely hate Donny and the forced interaction with him (more Paul though, please), and have the same reservations about Steph's demeanor as many of the readers here. I've never seen her as irredeemable, though, and I believe she's ultimately loyal to the MC and willing to drop the group sex fetish entirely for him. I think she was just tempted to find a way to "have it all" after seeing Tori and Jason so happy together and finally being able to talk with another human about that 'ol fuck, Chuck. My "default MC" is miffed at her stupid approach to revealing the secret and keeping it hidden for so long, but happy to keep swinging with her long into the future. I'm looking forward to the next release, and honestly kind of sad it's going to be wrapping up so soon!
