I have finally played it through once on the charm path. As many of the comments said, it had a lot of potential, but definitely had some issues. Generally, the girls are all attractive and the graphics aren't bad, with some nice flashback effects and overall story arc, but the options are definitely forced and did not make a lot of sense at times, particularly my first end game,

I'll probably try to unlock all the other content and would give the creator's other work a try, just because of the quality of the graphics, which is basically what got me to try this one in the first place.

No, it has a throuple...which is bad implemented imo, but that is the least of the problems this game has to be honest.

In my opinion no.
Starts out ok but the last 2 updates and especially the last one make me regret wasting time playing it...
If you don't mind spoilers just read the last 3-4 pages about the latest update and ending.
Well, leaving aside that ME's ending is only marginally better with the extended cut (still bad), i don't think you can salvage this without rewriting the last 2 updates, especially the entire last one.
I don't know how many will understand the reference, but this game could use a Bobby Ewing shower scene update, lol.

Hello everyone!
I won't be around for the next 4 weeks as I'm going on a study abroad internship. I'll be back with good news about the upcoming game.
Stay tuned and take care!
Yeah, this has to be the worsed VN I've spent/wasted time on. One word...morbid.
I don't know if people knew this here, but if you followed or subbed to his patreon you'd know that the dev had some issues, mental and family issues if I recall, and he stayed away from the game and patreon for more than a year so this game shouldn't even have a chapter 3, but then he came back and started working on it again. I'm not here to defend the game cause the ending really was bad and rushed af,but in my opinion the dev just wanted to get rid of this and move on to do something new, with that being sad, it'd be better if he just abandoned this game and started working on a new game instead of doing what he did.
I agree with you that given his situation it's remarkable that he wanted to give some kind of closure to this game. But as you also said, it would have been better to just leave it abandoned than give the ending it has.
I remember a couple of other games that went through the same kind of issues (dev with real-life severe/critical problems), yet they managed to give them good enough endings. Maybe a bit rushed, and maybe they also left a few loose ends, but the main arcs were closed properly, and the players didn't end up with the overwhelming feeling of frustration/disappointment this game has left most of us.
If you look for games like "Babysitter", or "One Lie" you will see cases where they preferred to take either a long time before giving an ending or giving it a rushed but appropriate one.
If you look for "The intoxicating flavor" you'll find another game with good development but where the dev preferred to leave it as abandoned rather than giving it a crappy ending.
It's a matter of perspective, I know, but IMHO, If I had invested as much effort as I'm surely this dev did, I'd rather freeze it until I have the bandwidth to finish it as it should rather than create such poor ending.
hell the ending was great, but the payoff afterwards is just lacking... you made us go through that tough as fuck choices but then just leave us with a fade out scene... no reward or better epilogue.
