No, I mean exactly what I say. I've played over 2,000 visual novels and have developed an extensive database. This means my standards have risen considerably since I started and I have only found a few this restrictive. I understand why the developer did it and I don't waste my time when there is so much more out there that doesn't. I mean no disrespect on them. They are obviously in this for the money and follow the format of a lot of developers that want sales on Steam. The players on Steam generally don't know how much content there really is out there. I discovered this genre on Steam myself and was really disapointed with what I bought so I started doing searches and eventually found F95 after a lot of trial and error. I really believe it's a shame because most of the games made for Steam are subpar because of it. There are a few exceptions and I always want to give them a shot. I sub to several dozen creators who create superior games that I love. I wish this creator success on Steam and hope that their next project moves up to the next level.You sure you're in the right post? This game requires so many paths because it has so many options & doesn't force anything on you. Now if you choose to take a specific path (LI) and play the way you want, you miss out on a lot of content, but it's your decision to make.
