An interesting analysis that I had already read in April and that highlights areas where I need to improve.
The characters around Aline are somewhat similar but not all. Doctor Lucius is different from Raph for example but it is true that Ben looks like Fred.
I hope to bring in different traits when the bonds are stronger.
I'm also thinking of adding more contrasting male characters, but consider that a possible route requires real work over time.
The free roam shortcuts will come but the project is still too young to see the practical possibilities. It's a bit of a slog but should improve once the routines are well in place. There is still the night phase and so I prefer to avoid touching the deep mechanics so as not to sabotage the variables.
Finally, corruption can have several levels for Aline depending on who she has a relationship with. She can be very naughty "in spite of herself" with strangers and prudish with Raph at the same time or Fred...etc.
The difficulty is to harmonize a global corruption, it would be necessary to have a universal gauge but it is complex and I did not think the system sticks to it.
In fact the gym scene happens a bit by accident, Aline is not corrupted, she is trapped in a situation from which she cannot escape and she takes a liking to it. She doesn't really change, she is forced to.
On the other approaches, Aline keeps the same attitude according to the skills and the links.
Only the "trap" situations reveal her traits in a somewhat brutal way.
