People deal with grief in a lot of different ways, and that is absolutely one of them. Look up 'funeral sex' sometime; it's definitely a thing that happens. And it's only been one update since then, and she hasn't been around school to interact with. I expect she'll be back in the next update assuming the player is still on her path, and the consequences of that interaction would be explored at that time.

Like I said. Bandaid over a bullet wound. I'd be willing to hold out for that but since you actually lose her path if you do the sensible thing and not take advantage of a person in a vulnerable emotional state...well I find it unlikely that we will get proper closure on that but we will see what the future holds. I would absolutely love to be proven wrong.

Not sure how I've missed this game until now but I have played through it tonight & had a blast. Really enjoying the story so far (even if some things felt a tad rushed at times) & can see a lot of potential here & I'm interested to see where it will go. I like the characters & the humour, like some people have already said I also get some Once in a Lifetime vibes from it. I could see this quickly climbing my list of favourite AVN's.
However I seem to have run into a bug, similar to one mentioned earlier in the thread.

Well that sucks. I guess I'll just have everyone except for Aria in the harem then. A shame because I did like her.

I'll speak to Prometheus about dialing back on the sheer number of path closes. When I was doing the mod I did notice that there are a FUCKING LOT OF THEM.

I just want to give you props for the mod real quick. Good work, & thanks for making it for us.

Don't worry about that, I'm reopening the path in 0.4, originally I had planned to have her path temporarily end there and if you weren't following it, then you'd miss a scene or 2 but get the option to reopen it later by making good choices. I'm scrapping that idea though because her story doesn't completely revolve around that scene. I'm still gonna toy with the idea of having ways to reopen certain paths throughout the story if you make good choices. One of the reasons I had so many path ends was because for some girls, if you didn't get a certain scene, then it wouldn't make sense for her and MC's relationship to develop further as the scene is important to her and MC's story. For the future, I'm gonna try to make less path ending choices and give greater diversity in the types of choices you can make without ending a path.

3 more are being introduced in 0.4, but after that I'll be done introducing girls for a while. I have plans for all these girls within the story but I don't want to keep introducing girls if they won't be relevant to the main plot in some significant way. We're also fairly early on in the story right now so some of the girls may seem irrelevant but there's still a good portion to go through before "act 1" is done which is also why new girls are still coming. Some of the girls are more relevant and have done more in the story than you may realize so far, I've put a lot of hints into the game that so far I haven't seen people pick up on (which is normal because they're extremely subtle, they're mostly there so that when you get further in the story, you can look back and think "oh shit true" and see that I'm not just pulling things out of my ass, it's all being subtly built up).

I understand where you're coming from for sure, and I have plans to expound upon it. I agree that if I leave it as is, it's not satisfying at all but that's a bit of an issue with releasing a game as it's in development, I can't get the full story out all at once so some things may seem like they're being ignored even if that isn't the case.
To cope with all his trauma, MC kind of built a wall between him and the memories and living with his new family has given him a sense of normalcy which has helped in kind of blocking out the past. The issue with blocking out emotions that aren't fully dealt with though is that if the wall cracks, everything comes tumbling. The start of the story see's MC living his life with the wall fully up so it seems like he's fine. Meeting Camilla though was the first crack in that wall. The wall is still up though and subconsciously, he doesn't want to acknowledge everything that has gone wrong in his life, he knows that things are strange and kind of fucked up but all he wants is a normal life.
All that is to say, MC will be forced to face his past. I've gotten some writing done for 0.4 already and I won't spoil anything, but what follows the ending of 0.3 will continue the process of breaking down that wall but at a much faster pace, at first it's mostly light things like flashbacks (ex: 0.3's beginning flashback of the aftermath of the fire), but it'll progress more and more until it's at the forefront of his mind once that wall tumbles.
Psychological coping mechanisms such as compartmentalization, repression, regression and denial will play a big part in his story. (Ex of regression: When he was no longer able to speak for a while after the fire. (Often times a sign of ASD but not limited to it))

Adding more choices and options that don't lead to path closes is something I'll be working to improve in future updates, I wasn't satisfied with the way it was either tbh but I'm learning and improving with time

It could be the lighting, early on I was pretty bad with that and have tried to improve it to have more consistency between scenes compared to 0.1 and 0.2. It could make the girls look a bit different since they now have more highlights and shadows from the lighting

Something I'd like to mention real quick, ESPECIALLY before we get into 0.4, be careful who you trust, not everyone is upfront with the truth. There will be no meaningless conversations of pure lies that'll be taken back in the future just for a cheap plot twist, but there may be conversations that have a couple lies or only tell a partial truth. People will say what they need to say to get what they want out of a situation, some may have good intentions, others may not. Everything people tell you is still relevant though, and everything contains a piece of the puzzle. A lot of things may seem clean cut and simple (especially because of MC's interpretation of them), but that is not always the case

Ok that is good to hear. I was under the impression that at some point in the 7? years he's been with them he was able to process some or most of the trauma through time and therapy. Because he mostly seemed fine and when talking to Aria he says "I've seen a lot of death in my life so believe me when I say that the best thing to do is not keep it inside" or something to that effect. Maybe I saw something that wasn't there but anyway I thought, ok great so maybe he can help her a bit since it seems he might know what he's talking about since he lived through it...but then it went in a different direction.
Pretty interested in how it will play out.

Finished the update, and I enjoyed it quite a bit (even though yeah, I agree with other people there should be much less of those path-closing choices).
I have to say, Camilla is my favorite out of all the girls. Her personality overall & affiliation with one of the groups that are interested in the MC I just think adds a lot of layers into the game (not that I'm saying other girls are bad, but for me, she just seems to be in a league of her own).
Not sure how much more of her past (time after her separation from MC will their reunion in present time) will be explored through flashbacks, but I'd sure be interested in how she got acquainted with Hannya, Amarok, and others.
While I'm not opposed to the MC's slice-of-life, normalcy time he has with school, etc, it does feel like the game is at its strongest when it really embraces the supernatural side (MC discovering Nike's powers in the forest, through the wasp and the wolf, those kind of scene I quite enjoyed).
Going back to Camilla, perhaps I'm overthinking it, but it does make me quite curious as to why she didn't really touch Natalie's food, and was vomiting in the toilet.
She made an excuse of "gas station sushi" but I'm getting a feeling that might have been a lie (who knows, perhaps she's not a 100% human [given Natalie's "proof" of burnt body] and her metabolism just doesn't take human food well or something? Hmmm, a lot to ponder. )

I like this, I kinda got that feeling from a couple including the lovely Melony. It feels (atleast to me) like she knows more than she's letting on & the way she didn't push MC to tell her about his powers. Saying that she understands & trusts MC will tell her when he's ready (paraphrasing) & so on made me think that she said that (at least in part) the way she did so that MC wouldn't push her about certain things & if he did she could point out that she was patient & understanding with him so he should be with her. Also the way she has been pushing MC to get with the family & how quickly she was accepting of Camilla while the other girls were (understandably) more suspicious. Yeah, I really get the feeling she knows more than she is letting on.
Either way, no matter if I'm right or wrong about that, I love little things like this in VNs. That feeling of getting further into the story & having a "Ha! I knew it!" moment or a "Oh damn! How did I miss that?" moment is great.
Looking forward to the next installment.

Um, simple, everyone loves animals, and no one gives a shit about women's sports.
