I agree with youThis game is a fascinating window into adult gaming history. It's fairly well-established that, had Mr. Dots been able to finish the game he began on his own, it would've involved a lot more corruption, probably more sharing, perhaps a dog, and so forth. But Patreon intervened and the goals changed. This has become a game that some (obviously not all) deride as being relentlessly vanilla, which perhaps wasn't the original intention, but has been the clear intention for quite some time. There was some optional sharing, but it was pretty obviously scripted by people whose hearts weren't in it. Sharing to tick off fetish boxes, but that's it.
It is too long. Three chapters were more than enough to tell this story. But we have this instead.
People have identified innumerable reasons why they're tired of this game, but I think they all boil down to one underlying reason: everyone knows how this story is going to end. There hasn't been any drama or conflict suggesting otherwise for years. Yeah, you'll have preg/no-preg options, and various optional partners, but it's going to end with Dad and D together, married by some mechanism, and living happily ever. We've known this since chapter one. It's now chapter four. That's way too long to stretch that story without significant roadblocks, and they've experienced none.
We've been dealing with the same principle antagonist for four chapters now, even though she surpassed the major hurdle and accepted their relationship ages ago. She hasn't changed. Neither have Dad or D. But the actual principle antagonist in this game was always (or at least should have been) the idea that the two of them can't be publicly together. How much time has the story spent addressing that? Almost none. Dad thinks about it a lot, but he doesn't do anything about it. Everyone around them easily and quickly accepts their fucked-up relationship. So where's the tension? Where's the conflict? Where's the story?
There's no way that the endings will satisfy anyone other than the true romance believers. Which is fine, because this game has been exclusively for them for years. But the history of this game, going back to when it was one in which D was going to become much more corrupted and sluttier, is really the history of publicly funded games, in which such scenarios immediately became impossible, and then slowly — via patches and Patreon's slowly eroding interest — became possible once again. But this one got stuck, and now it's here.
