Well it's been about 3 months since I last played this visual novel/game... And although I'm not really a fan of NTR, at least so far it's been avoidable... Down side to that, is that it's not always obvious when a choice will ensure you avoid it... So you end up needing a walkthrough/guide to know when a choice will guarantee to avoid it (well, at least avoid it in that instance)... Which is a real shame, and the reasons I can't give this game 5 stars... I still enjoy the love/romance story with the main heroine, and so forth... I went ahead and updated my review...
Shit. This episode was pretty freaking great. The writing and story have REALLY been bumped up to 11. Renders and animation were smoking hot too.
The music has also added tons of depth to the mood of the game.
Yeah. Kind of shame that what would otherwise be a pretty decent game with regard to the romantic/tease stuff, is polluted with stuff that I would not care to see. I don't think you can please both interests without some kind of explicit content switch, or some "DANGER Will Robinson!" around the annoying content.
As good as the later game is with this update, I suspect the dev could have been pulling in some DmD kind of cash, but for the colossally bad detour to questionable content.
Thanks for the kind words and feedback both of you. I'll address these both together as they touch on the same basic point. The NTR stuff is baked into the cake, but I just want to say this again, because it's been a while. I totally understand the concerns of wanting to avoid NTR and those paths are pretty much entirely voluntary to the point of opting in at this point. With Silver, we actually had to make it EASIER this update to actually go on a date with him because those who wanted to see the content were actually having trouble doing so. It's still damn near impossible to stumble into and the only reason I don't say "impossible" is that there might be some weird way to do it I haven't seen in the script but to do so without trying is pretty unlikely. Robert is similar, he's SLIGHTLY more likely than Silver, but even then you have to do all sorts of stuff, like have Christine dance with him, fantasize about him and more to really get that ball rolling.
This isn't to dismiss your concerns about running into content you don't like but to hopefully reassure you that you don't have to worry about every choice leading to NTR or even most of them. There are a few choices that are very strongly telegraphed that can lead you down those roads and outside of that, you're golden.
Which of course is kind of a shame, because I think that the Silver and Robert stuff this time is pretty well done, and that means less people might see it. I very much do not want it to be generic NTR. But that's just my opinion, and if you can't tell, I'm a bit of a biased source.
Thanks for the feedback again.
