Story seems very unreal, and of course runs on and on, mother is on the new drug probably supplied by Seth, his daughter is gorgeous girl who likes the MC but this is on hold as the MC is not sure if she is aware of her fathers buisness, and the cops are real idiots helping the drug lord get rid of all his competition. Not a real good story line

Disapointing, another story when the MC acts like an imbecile.
It makes no sense to go off on a rant to Euphemia.
The MC apparently suspects some sort of plot, so why would you go and say a bunch of stupid shit during a rant and make yourself look like a moron?
Either she is in on it, and you've given away a bunch of information and made yourself some sort of target or she isn't in on it and you've yelled at her for no reason?

I very much dislike when the MC is written like an idiot in order to move the plot forward.
I can't disagree with this.

Honestly, the MC's whole obsession with that photograph is borderline delusional as presented. Sure, it would be odd for Seth not to mention knowing the MC's dad, but there are a lot of reasons that could explain it, and "a vast criminal conspiracy hinging on no one realizing Seth knew my dad" ranks extremely low on the list. Once you combined that with the fact the photograph *wasn't even visible* when the MC made a beeline for it and it's pretty hard to take the MC seriously. On a similar note, his ironclad certainty his mom must have known anyone his dad was friends with would feel like a stretch even if she weren't in competition for "worst mother in the world" 10 years running.

The game really needed to restructure the plot. Give a clear reason for the MC to stumble upon the photo, then either explicitly establish the criminal angle for Seth (rather than just have the MC leap to that assumption right off that bat) or to tone the MC's obsession way down and let this plot thread simmer in the background for a while. As is, it feels like the MC is not only acting like an idiot, but acting like an idiot who read the plot synopsis in the script rather than one reacting to the world around him.

Which is a shame because the game does have some potential. The art is pretty solid, Mike is an unusual take on the zany friend, and Agnes is adorable. But between the ham-fisted plot and the MC's pathological need to avoid discussing anything with anyone, the game is at least as frustrating as it is enjoyable.

Going by the extremely low patron support this game is mostly likely to get abandoned.
Due to several personal issues that I had to face before, I was forced to abandon the game development. These issues were not trivial matters for me. Indeed, life does not always go as we plan.

However, my intention is not to quit game development again halfway through. I'm aware that I have few supporters. Nonetheless, I will do my best. (y)

Nice, we're going to have a new game from Desakt which will be abandoned at version 0.3 (n)

You have a good game and already won me over as a patron.

Wholly shit the reveal of the much teased backstory and what Seth is up to did not disappoint (y).
Tipically i think those mob stories in VNs are boring and just a waste of time in regards to what i really want to be doing(fucking the girls of course), but this one i liked.

This is true?
As a matter of fact, I can say that it's not quite so. In the 4th episode, the player answers a few questions with Euphemia. There's a choice where the player can choose if Euphemia likes her own gender or not. I left this choice up to the players. Also, there's another choice in Seth's past. I left that one up to the players as well. So, you are missing out on making a few small choices with MC.

Kind of lost me with this update ngl. Seth being a pos was posed as some big reveal yet it was obvious from the start. Renders are good and the girls are hot, but man Im just sick of playing a MC who is just a fucking idiot all the time. Now one of the LI are a "bad guy" character working for seth, I'm sure its going to turn into a scenario where she was forced to sleep with the MC because seth wanted it but now she really loves him. Ruins her character for me.

Only girl I like is Euphi but shes that stereotypical refuses to believe her dad could possibly be a bad guy, is going to find out something to join MC's side and confront the dad character.

I just really didnt like the plot development of ch4 and what it did for the characters, just cliche after cliche.
