How many hoops does someone have to jump through to play this degenerate game?

I enjoyed playing, when I played it as a "survival" game. The "fun" for me was in retaining my humanity, and seeking a human female to share that survival in a world gone mad. I lost interest after the "awesome fruit" was taken out of the game, and the female (Helen, I think was her name.) could no longer become human.

I'm with you on that one. A lot of these transformation games seem to focus more on telling a story and the inevitiablity of being changed (usually) against the player character's will. I miss the days of games where the goal was to survive or solve a mystery like the games on hypnopics collective (Ring of Power, Kidnapped, Blanked, Tales of the Drunken Cowboy, etc.) Flexible Survival last I played it had a path to retain/regain your humanity, level up and dominate, and of course win. Not sure how it is now but I did notice content moving more towards NPC interactions over adventure like what happened to Fenoxo's CoC which was not what I was looking for.

They still payed the issue was he upped it to like 50 bucks to vote, I paid 10 a month to support it, as did many others, but he changed the system because he wasn't making enough to quit his job to a paywall that was crazy high after some fans said they would pay extra for gay content. So his idea of making it fair was up the voting tier to his top tier, and all he needed was like 12 a month since he was in a more poor country to quit his job.
Turns out people are more willing to put their money into something niche they like whereas they can just go elsewhere. If there were as many physical brick and mortar stores dedicated to selling gay themes & erotica, I'm pretty sure it'd mostly be people looking for that kind of thing visiting. Of course having something that specific is bound not to have a lot of foot traffic unless they take custom orders, but it's the same principle.
The reluctance is either built upon by many people to invest in something they like or they disperse to look for an easier goal. Just turns out there's a lot of straight and gay content out there, but this has been around for a long while too.
After having played some more hours and explored the content, I can say I appreciate the comments and as such have a bit more to add.
Pros:
Interesting layout
Lots of encounters
Different side quests
Little narratives that add to the whole
A few romancing options
Neat transformations/scenes
What few uninfected humans are concerned for their own survival
Neutral:
Lots of pre-written scenes that you can never experience again
Bad ends without avoiding some/taking precautions besides a simple yes/no system
No way to undo the infection/cure it completely - Avoiding infection is a chore and really needs more options/content
Lots of this falls into alice in wonderland syndrome with spartans showing up on the doorstep of the campus, an automaton, frost giant and dragon walk into a bar (Capitol Building), David Bowie (Milkman) and his pet hippogriff waiting in the sky, subplots that really don't have their own locations (Gryphons..?) among others that just kind of inhabit an area, etc.
Could use an, 'Active Quest', system to list every task you have so far.
Cons:
With content being spread so thinly, a lot of it is shallow typefuck paragraphs instead of anything meaningful
The only notable characters I remember offhand are Alexandra and Danny. Avoiding typefuck paragraphs instead of other consequences all the time gets really repetitive.
Art is really out of place as are the limited encounter choices.
Many scenes should be rewritten for starter enemies to be a little more dynamic
Changes and later additions to other characters and slight improvements on dialogue can be felt through the character interactions and hasn't been added to a lot of others. It feels this way anyway, thus adding to the jank factor.
I'm a shit player I know this, but having spent about 15~ Hours with it I can safely assess some of the content, I still haven't discovered all of it but I plan on getting places with it.
Katherine is a recruitable female German Shepherd. Keep on beating up German Shepherd Bitches, but you want to aim for the one that has dialogue when she starts the fight, which is Katherine. Win enough times, and you'll get to take her back to the bunker.
Only thing I see is yet another greedy porn dev game who'll pump out anything as long as people overpay.
Frankly, I think these kind of games when down hill once patrion became a thing. It became less a labor of love, and more how to milk as much cash as possible.

This has always been a game of fetishes with multiple writes and never one of a concurrent story in the same vein as Fenoxo. There's a place for this game just like there is a place of games of passion where the single writer will write HIS story no matter what the input from fans and the community is.
The tower to power up the library and the mall doesnt seem to stay fixed. So i guess that quest line is out for now..

That quest is meaningless anyways. All it does is add some description changes in some location scenes.
Actually... getting the power on gets the microwave in the Library breakroom functional. Its there because reasons.

Someone did put together a bit of an editor for save exports. I haven't used it myself, but it's pinned in the single player channel of the Discord if you want to try it out.
