Yeah, after playing both I think Mal0vent plays the monster girl thing better; even in act two when we generally know what Mal-0's "deal" is there's still a decent amount of mystery and even danger surrounding her (hell, even the sex with her is potentially dangerous). It feels like they added stuff to the lore of 1471 to make it fit into the story they were telling, whereas with 682 it feels like they removed stuff instead. Like it's still good, but it just feels like something's missing.

The thing about 682 is that the core SCP article has so many other references in the SCP-verse because 682 is the metric by which you use to judge if your SCP is bad/stupidly OP. No matter what your SCP's super-awesome-mega-fuck-you thing is, it can't beat 682. No exceptions. That means there's a plethora of articles and interconnections, not all of them worth mentioning. The ones that are worth mentioning I've done my best to include as nods or direct references in the game itself.
That all said, it's clear from reviews here that BC isn't hitting as hard as our other games. But that's okay. I'd still take a B- or C+ grade if it meant people were still having fun with the game/story.

I mean I ain't gonna touch on the lore. Not my particular forte. But it ain't like the game is bad. It's just the initial release came off like it was going for a horror feel. Then the next version jumped to a waifu simulator. As if two different people were working on things. Or a chunk of the story is missing.
I mean I'm personally not too bothered. Current path and dynamic is something I like anyway. And I don't doubt it would've eventually went in that general direction. Maybe not as light hearted, but in that general area. But it was just a sudden tonal shift. And if you really liked how it started and wanted more of that. You was kinda out of luck rather quickly.
As it's been said the 0.2 of the game isn't BAD it's just completely different from 0.1, whilst there is an overlap the people who want creepy tense dramatic type stories and people who want light silly stories are not the same audience. And even if they are the same, people don't want their horror game to transform into a comedy with 0 forewarning, especially since scary dramatic type monster girl stories are quite rare.
If there were 2 different games one with a 0.2 atmosphere/genre and one with a 0.1 atmosphere/genre they would both likely be good games aimed at different people it's just the fact that it goes from one to the other that has left people disappointed.
It's as if I was watching the godfather and half way through the movie at a pivotal moment it just becomes the barbie movie just with the same characters and a vaguely similar plot, like sure they are both good movies but they have such contrasting tones that combining the 2 is completely nuts and would baffle anybody watching even if they like both kinds of movie.
That's an extreme example but it is essentially how I felt when I first played the 0.2 update

Yeah, and even beyond the version jump, while playing it for the first time in v2, the whiplash is fairly strong to the point that I genuinely thought they skipped some arcs and simply went straight for the waifu approach to keep engaging.
If i had to make a suggestion, it would be to make v2 a the third arc instead of the second, since a transition arc is probably works best for 682
The sudden escalation/lewd work with Malovent (especially with that v3 version) because Malo is one of those few scp that arent lethal
But 682 just doesn't—the jump feels jarring and cheap

Ray-K games like Butterfly Affection I guess. But you're best served by making a thread in the identification and recommendations forum.

Ayo hold up. Im clearly either a fuckin lunatic or braindead. The story here as far as I got was fuckin good man. Nigh unkillable spawn of darkness lizard with a hate boner for literally ALL life says fuck it and shacks up with a dude who treats it with kindness. I know there's prolly a shit load of other games manga and shows with a similar if not the same trope but that shit just works well man.

Personally I didn't really like the Malo game that much, it had some neat concepts thrown around but I found the way the story was presented to be a bit uninteresting, there was too much talking and not enough showing some of these cool things they were talking about, but then again the game was generally short, not to mention the fact that the already short time was then divided some more on an overall uninteresting friend of yours and a professor that didn't do all that much.
I think this game can still do some neat stuff with the horror aspect with the death count, the most obvious one I'm expecting is that the MC just has the save/reload thing on him and it's probably gonna play some part in the story at some point (most likely an ending where you also get locked up as an SCP).
I do have to agree that it did switch pretty fast from balancing on an edge between a good talk and getting killed to waifu sim pretty quick but I'll have to wait for the next part to say if it'll be bad or not, but I'd also be lying if I said I didn't find that waifu sim part funny and didn't laugh at the "HE SAID NO PICKLES" scene.

I really like the design, very glad it isn't just a girl with a tail and then they just call it a day, though I'd like it even more if she was even more monstrous but that's probably just me. Also I feel like I missed a chapter with the way she acts in act 1 and 2 lol
