I myself, utterly despise femdom - the act of a man allowing himself to be dominated by the weaker sex is disgusting to me.

Is femdom avoidable?

To be clear, when I say "femdom" I don't mean stuff like ballbusting, pegging, or degradation. We're talking more like cowgirl position, blowjobs where the guy isn't in control, the girl initiating sex, that kind of thing. Some characters have both malesub and maledom scenes. Metatron has probably been the most submissive overall, funny enough. Ashley is a teasing brat, but a lot of her scenes are mostly male dominant or equal.

Beyond that, it depends on the position and the character. Sarah is a blowjob fiend and you're generally not going to win there, but almost all of her actual sex scenes are equal or male dominant to some degree or another.

Not sure if that's exactly what you were looking for, but hopefully it helps!

Was gonna try the game but popped here before that to say you could add the 2DCG tag, might make you appear in more search (or discriminate for those that prefer 3D models)

Great idea! Added it.

Taking opportunity with Cry being around with the new update.
I enjoy the characters, I've been following the game since the start. There has been a lot of great bits and pieces to the story as we go. I love how characters stories have been drafted but...

As time goes on, I feel like they are getting overbearing. It's fun to have meaningful, deep conversations, getting an option to give those characters your own input. However, I feel like there is a certain amount of deep conversation one can get with your friends before it starts to get annoying. I know how Ashley feels about her traumatic experience in the war, but... I don't know what is her favourite colour. I know deep things, but I don't know any trivia. The further I go, the more I feel like I am interacting with people on the internet, that tend to overshare. They have no inhibition, trust me almost inherently with the briefest of time spent together, yet share no superficial information. Mind you, I don't need them as dialogue choice, but I feel I need more superficial talk, just having fun with friends, not philosophy lecture every other day.

I have been adding lighthearted/intimate conversations, and I definitely intend to continue doing so and exploring other options to inject more levity to camp - I like letting characters relax and get to know each other better! With that said, I think you're missing a lot of characterization here. These are flawed characters, forced to trust each other with their lives in battle and often grateful to the MC for saving their lives or helping them out, but they have been fairly reticent about stuff they don't want to talk about.

Sarah has a breakdown and a fair few scenes before she manages to tell you about one of her Aspects. It's not until Metatron's 18 trust, after the main story plot in which you either enacted or stopped a genocide, that she finally starts to open up about how she feels responsible for what happened in the temple - and while there have been some hints, she hasn't opened up about her other virtues or almost any of her feelings on the war. Maya has had 12 or so scenes and the MC is only now starting to get past the many barriers she has put up. Aspasia still has yet to reveal basically anything about herself.

Frankly, I don't agree that they have "no inhibition" or "trust you inherently with the briefest of time spent together." I don't suffer the delusion that my writing is perfect by any means, but I've tried to do each girl justice in her interactions and character growth, and I will continue to do my best while ensuring that there is lighthearted stuff along the way.

Do you also go into a game with the maledom tag and ask if the maledom is avoidable?

I don't like femdom or maledom, so I've done it more than once.
