Fuck that noise.
They already got approval from Steam so i wonder how they did it. I know steam doesn't care about incest and antropomorphic creatures/monsters but the rest...hmm.
If you're only trying this for the first time now, you'll enjoy a couple of exciting evenings playing the game. However, the game's recent development pace is hugely disappointing, so once you're done with the current update, you'll have to wait another 5 years for anything of substance to be added to the story.
How long, uuuh, I've played for around 12 h on the last version (0.22.1 I think), but I still had the hunters and futa nuns to do, so additional few hours, around 14 I'd say. But, even more, as I was really curious and checked a lot of possibilities before making my final decision and rolling with it, if you are as invested into the game as I was, I'd guess even more, much more actually, I just didn't bother writing down how many times I played a bit just to reload a save. And well, some thing were added since I last played, so probably even more.
To put things in perspective, if you use the Walkthrough, which has been last updated in mid 2019, +90% of the current content has already been there. The first playable release has been in 2016, seven years ago. The game obviously suffers from the 'Song of Ice and Fire' Syndrome. No reason for such slow development other than the devs having run out of ideas or being too comfortable with the financing model of unconditional, unending, subscription-based fan support in exchange for one or two exciting new scenes every month or two.
Well there's some glimmer of hope for the game.
What's this "song of ice and fire syndrome"? Sorry, I don't know what you are referencing to.
'Song of Ice and Fire' is George R.R. Martin's famous saga that gave us the HBO's 'Game of Thrones'. 'Game of Thrones' is actually the first book in the series, published in... 1996. The fifth book, 'A Dance with Dragons' came out in 2011 and the sixth has been written for 10 years now. In the meanwhile, the TV series, which premiered in 2011 had its disappointing final episode broadcasted in May 2019. You can actually see the young actors playing the main parts grow from children and teenagers into young adults throughout all those 9 years and 8 seasons.
So if I understand correctly, "song of ice and fire syndrome" means needlesly large breaks between releases? Yep, would make sense then. Still, I'm about to finish Overgrown: Genesis and well, the game is simple, but enjoyable. Has some mechanics to mess with, so it's not another powerpoint presentation with illusion of choice, so I'm hoping Claire's Quest will catch up to that and make a decent game in the end. No sense in complaining or something, as I'm satisfied with previous product, all I can do from now on is to patiently wait. Thanks for the information!
Not just that, but also something I'd call 'narrative sprawl' whereby an initially focused story becomes an epic journey that takes forever to complete, with so many unfinished subplots that each upcoming update feels like yet another episode of your favourite soap opera. It not just this game's weak point, as too many lewd games available here are perpetual works in progress, but this one is actually too good to be allowed to dawdle.
Yes, it's an annoying bug. You may use the in game cheat menu to teleport Claire to another location.
Yep, that's also true. Claire starts off as a poor peasant girl, my general plan when starting was to run away into safety, try to find whether my family is alive and if so, bring them to me, and make a living somehow, but instead I end up as what? Breeding ranch owner, nun, hunter, mercenary, prostitute, shield-sister (or something, I'm not sure what Aslaug called Claire), oh, exorcist for the little boy and alchemist with that gypsy girl too... What else? It's all content and it's all nice, but I also lack the "main plotline". I dislike that we are kinda pushed into being a hero, my mentality would be something like "fuck off boys, as Claire I'm a big fucking noone, don't expect wonders". You made me wonder how the ending would look like? I mean, I guess we could try and retake the continent, but once more, Claire is noone. Let me compare to the previous game as I just finished it today, Overgrown Genesis, there we at least were vaccinated against our will and had some "solid allies", but Claire is alone for the most part, really, how does she plan to wage a war? And even if, why would she be the leader or any participant?
