Havn't played this update so far, but I have to disagree with the post above. I'm tired of the games where you have to make a choice every 5-10 sentences and also therefore have "100" routes. I dropped quite some games already because of that. I actually want to follow and enjoy the story, with maybe a few choices in between. Hopefiully this one stays at it is so far and does not become a kind of WTHI 2.0 where the story flow is already destroyd for me. Of course that's a personal opinion, like the post above.

Don't personally care for a bunch of branching paths, but choices that make you feel as if you have some agency are always welcome. Choices that just give you a single line of flavor text or give you +1 imaginary point for a single line of flavor text later down the road are the exact same as a kinetic novel to me.

That tag definition really needs to get updated to include situations like that because a dev avoiding that tag by including a couple of choices that don't affect gameplay whatsoever is just cheating the system. Especially the god-forsaken Choice A - actual choice Choice B - Wrong choice, choose A

I also feel that games such as WVM, where choices are more akin to "See sex scene with this character?" and nothing else, are kinetic novels.

This needs some future kinks under the genre tag in the OP. Like bj, vs, as, thresomes, and the such so players know what to expect in that front.

The only choice we really need is which hole to creampie. This is not a joke.

How important Is audio to you, music and/or sound effects in a VN? lol 2 VERY different questions in one, if you ask me... I could not care less about music in adult games, cause I ALWAYS play with no music, If you wanna listen to music, then turn on the radio or put something on... but ofc sound effects will make any game better... lol might as well ask... you wanna live and/or not live... :FacePalm::FacePalm::FacePalm: :D

You're sorta right. Music isn't that pivotal in a VN, but a good score can elevate a game experience by far, like Badik or LoF, even some other less notable ones. It depends on the right music for the right situation though, less than having music or not in the first place.

For those liking music in games - there is already a solution. Koga made one of his excelent music addons for this game, available here.

i don't get it , if your "step-mom" or whatever Kate is to MC . hate MC that much , why would she take care of him all this years ? :unsure:
Anyway , about characters , i like them very much , some interesting characters we have here , well so far i just don't like Melissa and Celeste... Olivia , Ellie , Charlote , Amber , Victoria , they all look really good and i'm excited to see future interactions with them :p

About music topic , man if you don't like music , just mute , turn off the volume or whatever doesn't really change.
For me music is good to have , music helps a lot on setting up the moods during the game. I also discovered so many good songs from others vn's that i played.
in VN's case I prefer having music than having sounds effects , because lets be honestly , sounds effects in vn are annoying as hell. But that's just my opnion :)

I was going to same the same, I voted one for music or sound ... But sex sounds, that's better than even images. If you ask for that, my complete 5 stars

Dev should have given us the choice to block all three of these bitches (mom and daughters) first. At least for a few months until MC gets his shit together and doesn't make himself look like a needy wimp. Olivia is not blameless, she obviously lied and manipulated him too, so him insisting to get in touch with her every second scene was annoying.

I saw the audio vote:

If audio is good, is the best way to create mood and tell you the emotions of the story.
Since audio in porn games goes from trash to tolerable, and that alone is barely enough for a decent experience, it just serves as filler or background noise. In many cases it gets just muted.

Audio has a bad reputation in porn games.

gay content is what this game needs considering the LI's on the banner are trash
well after that update Teddy is still #1

So question time:
1) is the MC bisexual?
2) has he a license to carry, if not, when can he get one? -> should be a permit for conceald carry, to safe rendertime

Edit:
3) is stepmom angry because he forgot to buy milk on his way home the evening before she took the papers to the University?

It must be something resent that made her/ and Melisa hate him so much to fuck him over like that after she cared for him for years. Or is it the long game and she and MC's Mother were rivals in kindergarten and now she finally got her revange?
