I must admit that I was totally annoyed with the grind that I stayed away from starting at the beginning after I lost my saves recently. Well, I started again anyway, and I don't know if the DEV made some changes, but anyway, now the development of the story happened surprisingly smooth, I don't know why. I got the feeling that the corruption rises much faster now, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, now I like the story development speed. Still, there are no actual choices despite from the two main routes - once you decided you have to follow the story, or at least it doesn't make no sense to choose against the path you've chosen. E.g. if she refuses to model she gets nowhere.
