Sorry about that, mate. I'll do that now.First up, please place that in a spoiler tag.
Second, yeah. Good orgasm.

I have to agree with the criticism of Eve being shoehorned in. She's not only obviously a shitty person, but an annoying character to boot. When you have to replay choices to avoid absolutely preposterous "Game over"-scenarios or when choosing to refuse her still makes the MC her bitch, something is very off. Thankfully - so far - the game allows you to sidestep the other evil masterminds with fetishes for complete idiots who somehow managed to get a law degree.
I may be in the minority though. Quite a few corruption-focused games with a female MC go the route of having her be the oblivious, unwilling, borderline mentally handicapped victim and that seems to float some boats. I had hoped this would fall more in the category of something like Good Girl Gone Bad, which allows for a bit more player agency in navigating the choices.
A world where every NPC is a diabolical sadist looking to exploit a terminally stupid, but attractive young woman. I dunno. If you allow the player to be both a willing and unwilling participant and doesn't remove the choice of refusing altogether it enriches the experience for me. And allows you to give the characters more traits than "asshole", "horny" and "stupid".
This turned into more of a critique than I was planning. The dev gets props for bringing the updates hard and fast, and the writing isn't nearly as bad as 99% of what gets put up on Patreon.

Yes, there probably should be a lesbian tag. I don't know if you'd call it a path, but there are lesbian elements to the game.
You might be surprised.
Eve is NOT a nice person, but there are somewhat different versions of her in the story and, with one version, the ending your are thinking about may well be possible. Can't promise that there won't be "any male action inbetween" though.
She is nice,though you don't want to be on her bad side. IMO, Dianne is a nice person too. Maybe.
Thanks. Glad you're enjoying it.
I didn't mean to be so critical really. I like what you've done quite a lot. Other games are way more guilty of playing into what I started railing against!High praise indeed!
No need to apologize. I appreciate the honest feedback, even though I might not agree with all of it. I just thought the last couple of lines of your post were humorous, given the balance.
Personally never had that scene, or I don't remember it(I went along with the whiskey and just getting badly drunk), but I never said that I see her as a nice person. I never defended her character in that regard, I just personally said that I enjoy her. I mean there are in so many games so many worse characters(often the player, lets be honest) and it is just accepted. This is still a corruption game, in which most people are at it's core horrible.
That is why, even if they are not good for them, I do like that atleast some people appear to be better and I hope they stay it. Sure, if you get on their bad side that is a different thing, as even a truly nice person could get angry at someone and screw them over.
Also I don't need a truly pure lesbian route or anything, it was not a tag I didn't expect it and so all is wonderful. Just enjoying the fact how Eve is going about her corruption of Chris right now, how she assert her dominance in that regard. Not seeing that one that much.

This game definitely needs to have a rape tag. The scene hasn't officially been show yet, but it is obvious, and heavily implied that Eve date-rapes the MC. Domination is one thing, especially if the parties are willing. But rape is a whole other matter. Personally, I am not okay with surprise rape, let alone rape, period. This will reflect in my review score of this game - it won't be positive.
Of course, you are entitled to your opinion and to your review, but FWIW...

After looking at this, I don't think I'm going to add another path, though I will perhaps tweak the dialogue a bit so Christine's motivation makes a little more sense.

I'm sorry, that some of us make your life harder. ^^
Don't worry, you are doing a great job even when you get such criticism.
Your game is just not entirely my genre, so I make not always nice comments but the story is interesting.
Do, what feels ok for you, even when some are ranting over this or that.

No need to apologize. You made a good point. If I was in the process of creating that scene for the first time, I would definitely take your suggestion and provide for that possibility. However, at this point, it's easier just to emphasize the existing motivation. It was already there, so it was just a matter of making some minor dialogue changes to bring it out a bit more.I'm sorry, that some of us make your life harder. ^^

In regards to your spoiler. There is no clarification on this in the game. Therefore, anyone is left to assume that she is date-raped. Especially when you see her drop roofies in her wine. With no clarity, we're left to believe the worst.
Within a couple of chapters, pretty much everything that happened that night is revealed through conversations and pictures. While I can understand why you might believe the worst, I think it's pretty clear from the game that the "worst" did not happen. I mean, lots of bad stuff does happen in the game, and I can understand why some people, even most people, might find some elements of the plot objectionable, but the event which you mention in your comment did not occur.

While that is good to hear. I still have a sour taste in my mouth and will not continue to play. But I do wish you the best in your development.
