I'm a few hours in with mixed feelings so far. Too early for me to have any definitive opinions beyond just first impressions though. I'm mainly focusing on Stephanie. There was a scene where she asks you about what kind of stuff you'd like to try in the bedroom with her that had like a dozen different options, with at least half of them her saying "Nah" to. Which I'm guessing was put there so that the player can get an idea of what to expect and not expect from her? But part of me just found all the No's to just be disappointing.
Something I'd like to know though if anyone can tell me; is this going to be one of those games that just keeps hard pushing condom-usage throughout the entire time? I know that some people might think that adds to the "realism" or whatever, but personally I just find that super-annoying or even obnoxious whenever in the actual consequence-free environment of an adult-themed
game that we're still forced to "Be responsible and use protection! Don't want to catch or spread one of those
digital STDs!" There was so far only one sex scene that I encountered that gave you the option of either going bareback or not doing it at all. I did it. And within a day or two later have already got foreshadowing of having caught an STD; which gives me an impression so far that the dev might either have a condom fetish or is maybe just so soapbox-level opinionated about them to the point that it extends even into pixels
Tl;dr I'm sure that some people don't mind it, while others maybe even like it for whatever reason, but I'm just not among either of those groups. Am I just going to have to deal with the MC always wanting/having to wear rubbers throughout this game?
I'd just rather know now, and will probably only play through it once if that's going to be the case.
