Thanks for the info. I play the exact opposite as you it seems, it's always one girl if I have a choice. Since I see now there is no harem tag I assume that Phillly expected the player to pic one but I could be wrong.
I think this is clearly more than a simple "porn" game where you just go through the paces and fuck everything that moves, if it was I wouldn't bother with it. Not saying your way is wrong but I come here for "adult" games not fuck fests.
We definitely agree here on the one girl thing. In all my games, I always and ONLY do one girl per game, obviously, in this case, it's Katie. Which brings me to the romance tag. Her route is most certainly deserving of that tag, because her route is so good because she's so sweet and caring, and with how her and Jake interact with each other, you can tell there's real passion.
It might not be "romance" but after the battle in Chapter 8, he comes back to her in the room and you can feel the passion. I never not picked Katie. From the second I saw her on day 1 of playing this game, she had me completely.
Every game is one girl, one route, always, and I repeat the route, staying loyal. I play these games for the stories, not the sex. My long-time girlfriend/partner and I had more than enough fun the other night, and the cool thing is, she likes Katie a lot too.
Anyway, one girl per game, all the time.
