It felt to me a lot more like a freeze response. Think of it as an alternative to the more well-known fight-or-flight response. When sensing danger, your body freezes up and you can't act. In this case, even if normally Katherine would have been able to fight back, she would still have been unable to physically stop the protagonist. A lot of real-life rape happens like this.

The protagonist rationalizes that, since Katherine was able to fight off that guy in the alley, it surely must mean she could have fought her off when she touched her, so her consent is assumed. However, a person can have different responses to different people, especially when you consider that the protagonist is someone who Katherine has some deep-seated emotions for. So it does feel very much like rape to me.

If you're having sex with someone and they tell you to stop, even if they don't physically try to stop you, you stop.

I totally agree with you, in RL don't touch anyone who's telling you not to touch them!
But this is a game, not RL and even tough I try my best to make it look as realistic as I can, I'd assume that most people can still distinct between game and RL, otherwise we'd see a lot more people out on a rampage/killing spree after playing GTA or CoD.
Katherine is into it as well, she says no, but in (game) reality she's totally into it, I tried to make her a bit like a tsundere while staying away from the typical anime cliché, that's why she reacts the way she does.
There's more to it, but I don't want to spoiler her story yet, so just keep that in mind for now.

darkslayer5 what happened to the old compressed version? I thought it was the latest version already? :unsure:

I just don't see it. She's obviously smart, being a psychologist, and obviously fit and capable of defending herself from unwanted advances, as we've seen. Like volta said, she just isn't the type of person to willingly admit her attraction, maybe most of it stemming from the fact that she believes MC has contributed to Ellie's condition in more ways than one and is using that as a way to dissect her feelings for MC when she confronts them about it, ultimately being useless since she just can't say no to them even when cornered, and her theory about MC is debunked anyway when she sees how Ellie reacts when they are around. She's carrying around an emotional conflict and that makes her interesting.

In the compression requests thread it was requested two times for a compression of v0.5.2, and from what I've checked the last compressed version posted here was v0.5.1 :unsure:

Yes, according to 1.5 of the general rules an English translation needs to be provided alongside non-English posts.

The next update will probably take some time as recreation is busy with some weird shit at the moment. I hope everything goes smoothly!

I'm just a nosy Bastard tbh and like to read what other people think of games lol.
The google translation just didn't make much sense.
Weird shit i'm going to have to try out when it's updated if he is working on that also.
Thanks for the reply :)

I'm actually done with the update and uploading, but..................the 4k version is ~6gb, the 1080p version ~1gb :HideThePain: so this will take a while with my super-first-world-ultra-highspeed-internet...
Release prolly tomorrow.

jajayala thx for your review, but do me a favor and put a english version in there too, otherwise it will probably get deleted (and I want to know what you wrote as well, google translate just produces gibberish xD).

Sure, it's run by money hungry greedy parasites who's game console is flopping in a massive way and that amuses me.

Also Google translate was programmed by a 3 toed Sloth, nothing that goes in comes out right.
