Nice update. The plot seems to become bigger and bigger with multiple of factions, and this creates the following problem: right now the player is after unlocking all the sex scenes, meaning certain endings are guaranteed. I can imagine by allying with Fang and having sex with Hive Queen will trigger the destruction of Zeta, closing some endings. Your decisions will also certainly affect how Ivy and her companion will view you. I hope when the final version is released, it will be made clear for player that supporting factions do matter for endings, and player simply cannot bang everything that moves without affecting the plot.

Why would you ever expect this not to have consequences and closing of endings? I would be highly disappointed if that wasn't the case.

And I'm definitely interested in the story.
If I want to see one more digital pussy, I can load another game or pornhub easily.

I mean, yeah I ravished Kitty to see what happens, but in my main playthrough, Zaton helped the miners and is gentle to Fairy and Kitty. I decided to not throw Mantis back into the swarm, and not to grope Ain just for the groping - seemed unnecessarily rude especially after she asked for him to not just seeing her as available but to spend time with her and my Zaton is a 'good' guy inside that 'Zetan bubble'.

On the other hand, Shani stayed for the execution earlier because it seemed to fit what lead her to the scene while Zaton left the Queen's dungeons earlier.

A lot of interesting and very cool events in this latest update. So Kitty is now free of the General, and I'm happy about that. It's now clear he only saw her as a possession . . . a recurring theme in this world. His end was very fitting, both what he deserved and as another reminder of the brutality of this world and especially the Raiders. I'm not sure whether I'm amused by Asha's response to the MC removing Kitty's blindfold, or if I'm more worried about future friction with her because I chose not the have the MC ravage the poor girl. I guess we'll see how that plays in the future.

Finding Julia in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of a Zone, was unexpected to say the least. It seemed much more than a mere illusion, but ultimately I suppose it was just that. I wonder whether Julia is just an echo of the past kept alive somehow by the anomalies in the Zone or a similar unexplainable oddity of the world. If somehow it turns out Julia is instead actually real, something might still change in the outcome of her story.
Exactly, a missed opportunity there for sure.
Depending on how you mean, I might disagree. The only choices for the player were whether to have Shani stay longer and get to know Julia better before the game eventually makes her leave, or to head out early without the full Julia story so far. I think having a very tragic and moving pause in Shani's story was great. The fact that the whole place just disappears after she leaves it and then it remains just ruins when Shani returns from the factory is possibly more tragic. Were there ever the chance somehow to convince Julia to leave, would it even be possible to find her again? It would seem not.

I'm very interested in the connection between Sonmi and Yuna (Ivy), given that obviously Shani met Sonmi before continuing toward Julia's house. I'm really glad I chose early on to save Yuna from the Decayed so she survived through to this part of the game. That opens up the entire event where the MC learns a lot more about the past and previous mutants, let alone the possible future reunion of Sonmi and Yuna. Obviously Shani and the MC aren't in any kind of position to bring them back together right now, but both being alive in this release opens the possibility for that in the future.

I completely agree. When a game presents you with a choice of supporting a faction or not, how would you ever expect that not to affect later events in the game, let alone endings? I'm most interested in the story as well. The women are beautiful, but that isn't the primary enjoyment I get from this, nor is the inspiration behind the game being things like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or Fallout.

This game is pretty successful — both on Patreon and Subscribestar, not to mention any other places — for good reason. I'm very impressed by Zetan and his skill with cutscenes / animations, in writing, and in creativity in this world's creation. Definitely looking forward to more that comes.

When Julia showed up, I was half expecting her to be a horrible creature that would attack Shani and half expecting to get intimate with her. What actually happened left me broken, man.
On arrival, I thought for sure it was evil creature in disguise, but very quickly it became apparent that it was a time trap, but I played through it anyway because I thought...the devs put in a lot of hard work to create this scene, so damnit, I am going to play through it! So in a sense, they got me to fall for it either way. :giggle:

Is her portrait supposed to appear on the World Map?
That's not activating for me.
I don't think it's on the world map, but it definitely should appear on the MC's home screen (where you can go to the basement, the bedrooms, etc.). It's over on the right, but only shows up if there is more content to see for Shani and her journeys. It also doesn't appear earlier in the game; Shani has to have started her own journey in one of the dangerous Zones before her portrait starts showing up.

They are considered exotic because the setting is in egypt there are hardly any travel any more
Plus the story will likely later reveal, that it was the Europeans who caused this apocalypse somehow, so it would be plausible there is not much left of European civilization.
