One of those threads that is enjoyable to read as much as playing the associated game. The whole thread is going to become all-time F95 classic. Honestly, every once in a while I come here to savor philosophical and psychological insights. I know its sounds pathetic that one should be gleaning insights from the goddamn CGI porn game thread but let it be.
And I mostly agree. Even more, probably this thread is more enjoyable than the game itself.
About the game, I'm not a big fan of VN, I like as much freedom as possible, when I play, and VN are not famous for that. So, seeing the VN tag I was biased toward "pass".
OTOH with a lot of branching even a VN might work, moreover when I did read about the slow development I was all like: "Great!"
To quote someone at the start of this thread:
You know, I see so many people praising good build up and so many games with good build up that do well Patreon wise (Summertime Saga, Dating My Daughter, The Twist etc) that I really don't understand why more games don't focus on build up more.
Incest games practically NEED to have build up in order to be good, if it doesn't have any then it just turns into plain old "MILF Porn".
"Mum, can you suck my dick"
"Oh my god! How could you ask this of me, i'm you're mother!"
"But LOOK mom, I have a boner!"
"Well, ok. Just this once!"
Fuck off with that trash
The problem that I see here is that there was some sort of misunderstanding.
The slow development I wished for was the slow development of the relationships, because in-game the MC needed to make choices, pondering consequences, move slowly or freaking out the "prey".
10+ hours spent playing the game to get to the first sex, for example.
Another 2+ hours to move from that to a stable relationship.
Hours spent playing, which means making relevant choices (relevant being a keyword, here) and seeing their outcomes.
That was the slow development I had in mind.
Here, instead, the slow development comes mostly from RL slow development of the game itself and some sort of logorrhoea which seems to afflict the developer himself .
Moreover, playing it all in a single release makes it still acceptable, but god forbids who played every single update!
I can totally see why one might have this kind of reaction:
First time I played this game, it was blueball simulator. Almost a year later, still a blueball simulator. Fuck it
