Okay, I'm out. This dev has an almost complete disregard for player preference/agency. I guess accepting a walk home is telling the dev you are already into the person. Oh wait, they already think your are into everyone so, why should the player be given a choice to make a move or fuck someone? :rolleyes:

In most cases, you are given a choice. You can refuse the trip, the first walk (I don't remember about the second). I think so. I definitely remember the presence of the buttons "go straight to the dorm" and "refuse to go".

I see the problem in something else. The game may well have a greater bias towards storytelling than roleplay. For me, it is much worse that most girls throw themselves on your neck without any effort at all. The same car ride, for example. I expected something more... intriguing or manipulative.

However, all this has remained since the first game.

Look at what i’m doing and who you’re arguing with, your word is just empty space, because i pointed out the model and skin that the dev uses, but it’s hard for you to understand - here even doctors are powerless, alas!

The only funny thing is that the author reworked/finished the models.

I thought you were going to contact him directly? That will resolve all disputes.

That's my point. Seemingly insignificant choices lead to scene for "the story". Being given a choice to walk with someone should lead to another choice of if they want to go farther. But this dev has some major control issues. "I wrote this scene so you just sit back, I've got things from here.".

The low effort is another issue. Everyone is thirsty for everyone right out of the gate. It's made worse by the inner monologue of the LIs as well. Why should the player be bothered to sus out how the other character feels when they can just be told directly? Heads up, they are super into it.

I remember when I first got into the genre how much I hated reading their thoughts, I counted it as cheating :Kappa:

But, now I appreciate it WHEN its used sparingly and like you said, used more to create mystery of what their intentions might be, what other angle to the plot they might know, instead of reading what I'm already seeing in the renders, or how much they secretly like the MC :HideThePain:

I get that. When it is used sparingly and can benefit the scene overall it can work. Though, with this one I don't see the point. The MC has the hots for anything with a hole and all the woman have the hots for him. It's not like they are very subtle about it so all of the inner monologues seen redundant. And there is a lot of it in this one.

In order for most developers to start reading these forums, everyone here would have to buy everything they downloaded.
I think I'll end up with a bill of ten thousand dollars.

Some people post their games here and earn money from early access. But even in those threads there are "smart" guys who "looking for heroes".

My Linux has Windows too, so why not run a windows defender on linux?! But as we are all brothers (or sisters as you like) we don't need to defend our windows!!!!! :whistle:

is becoming rock star as good as domino beach?

story leave a lot to be desired but as a light entertainment fluff, this game is great. Renders are great, the music are great.

tbh I enjoy this one alot more , When the other game peaked for me it kind of ended but you might like it more. For me outside of 2 paths ( a throuple and 1 solo with a redhead) I had a hard time getting into the actual romance of the characters I played. So far for me the romance feels better of the character we actually get to spend time with as I can actually get into all of their characters to some degree while I couldn't in the other game of his. But that is just me you might like it more I think it's worth giving a shot at least.
