What new directions are you thinking about? For me it was prety clear that the game would have 2 endings, either she gets totally corrupted and has a bad end or she manages to get her revenge. What other scenarios come to your mind?
I in no way was trying to speak about an endlng. I don't think there is one any time soon. But we already have more than 2 endings with certainty. Since one ending is with Dick the Lawyer. Now for the others it could most likely be
1. The ranch
2. Where she gets back everything
3. She becomes Marcus's "lover" or his pet
4. One of her efforts with the investors or Julia succeeds ( though it is most unlikely ) and she escapes the country.
5. Maybe some end relating with the husband ( either he saves her or something else )
Don't know how the Ralph thing will play out but I feel it won't help her much in her goals.
What I was really trying to say was that the this might be the time from when the story starts revealing itself or maybe new storylines and characters are introduced to increase the level of depravity and humiliation.
What I have been feeling is that the game is no longer having the same level of hardcore Content and perversions that it had when it started out. It feels like the game is stuck with the same storylines and characters and the scenes are no longer progressing in terms of Monica's degradation. The level of low has been same for a long time. Philip storyline finally tried to amp up the hardcore level but has not been executed yet.
