Finally decided to play this and it has all the hallmarks of a TwistedScarlett game. That being incredible art and excellent lewd scenes, but so much bloated, droning dialogue that gives you a headache because it's basically TS speaking through the protagonist like a redditor. My eyes almost rolled out of my fucking head when the protag brought up cell replication and compared it Sweetie Belle's cybernetic implants (also a clear indication that Twisted played Cyberpunk, since he puts in references with all the subtlety of a ball peen hammer to the balls. Was the same with My Tuition Academia and Doki Doki Literature Club, Monster Girl 1,000 and like 10 different anime, etc.). Some of this long winded, pretentious r/Philosophy dialogue is genuinely like pulling teeth like that most liked 3 star review says, but I've gotten used to it at this point, like a lewd game Stockholm syndrome lmfao. I put up with all this shit because of the amazing art and lewd scenes. I think that FwB 1 still had the best balance of this in all of his games, which is why it's still the best and my favorite. I'll probably still buy this since it's on sale rn, I'll wait to play One Pump Chump until it's finished.
Edit: I have to admit, the scenes with Blackcurrant and Pinkie are insanely well written, and take a beautifully optimistic and hopeful approach to the infinite universe and character self-awareness concepts. A very pleasant polar opposite from the melancholic scenes in FwB 1 with all the different versions of Pinkie. Knocked it out of the park with those.
Edit 2: Fuck me, didn't expect the Deathclaw cameo.
