This game has focused so much on the MC and his relationships with multiple women that it was hardly about Haley at all, and now that this VN is finally focusing on Haley and her Story, you and too many others are losing their rag. The way it was revealed may have been ham-fisted, sure, but giving characters emotional depth and weight is anything but a bad decision.this is no longer Haley's story, welcome to Rapeville 0.2 and stay tuned cause in the next update we're gonna find out Haley's mother was raped too when she was a kid

Looks like the new direction (that wasn't hinted at all for like a year into the game) does it for you. And that's fine, and good for you. Personally, i think there are better ways to add depth to a character, without adding cheap and out of nowhere drama. I never said i expected it to be simple, i don't even want it to be simple, but i am not the only one thinking it was added just for the sake of shaking things up, and it wasn't earned at all. Why haven't they started with this as the background of the story? Why wait for a year for it? Why make this the focus of the story after establishing a different set of expectations from it?
I haven't dismissed it on grounds of 'beta cuck', i feel like you are conflating my comment with others. Although, i do feel like the MC is really passive to the whole thing, and the whole clenching thing has become frustrating.
My main issue with the whole thing is that it feels unearned and out of nowhere, and the execution is just piss poor. In principle, the reveal doesn't make the story less appealing, but the way it's handled and dragging it out for multiple updates, that's what makes it unappealing to me.
'Perhaps what happened back then explains why Haley is so attracted to her brother, why she wants to be with him, and that's what the dev is doing here' - If that turns out to be true, then i will nope the hell out of this story, I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of a MC who is loved by someone because they were raped as a kid by their teacher.
Again, it seems like a lot of people like the new direction, and i am glad for this game's sake, because i wouldn't want a game to fail just because i don't like its direction, and i am hopeful it will be finished. But that doesn't stop me from being disappointed regarding how it has turned out.

It is called Haley's story for a reason. Going all the way with her brother is an emotional upheaval that is opening up a lot of repressed memories. Her need to be honest with him is a sign of her sincerity. Her sexual wiring is crossed and shorting a bit. She trusts her brother. I really don't see what all the fuss is. This is a well written story and I am in it for the long haul. I am getting the feeling it is going to be a bit of a bumpy ride.

Another great update. I just love the intensity of their relationship. It is so real (personal).

There are plenty of "games" that will satisfy your "basic" needs. It is not a porn game but there you go.

People who want a completely drama-less vanilla story, can play "Life with Mary" or any other snore-fest like that. Drama has been driving storytelling since ancient times and I'm not seeing it changing anytime soon. Now if one thinks the way drama is woven into the story is not good, that's completely subjective.
That said, I would have liked if MC had the option to insist on the Mr Klaus issue. A simple "either you tell me or I will learn it from him" would have sufficed. Although I suspect they didn't give it because they wanted to extend that sub-plot to later updates, instead of rushing the resolution.

Exactly. The execution could've been better. I'd have no issues if bits and pieces of this story arc were carefully placed throughout the other updates, but I don't recall ever seeing anything that might have represented a darker past before V0.55. Had this been handled better, they'd get no complaints from me. Hopefully, this rough start can turn into a great character arc that treats this topic with care.

Okay, new update.
I liked it, I can't quite see why so many people get upset about it, but then again I find plain vanilla romances without some sort of conflict boring sometimes.
Something like the story around the teacher AND obviously how to handle the relationship with Sandra, add the necessary spice into the game.
I prefer it like this. I hope it won't dissolve into something that makes you depressed playing it (here's to you Acting Lessons!), but so far I don't think it will be like this.
My guess is that whatever happened either with Mr. Klaus (or the dad, I do admit that is also a possiblity) was discovered by the mother and that led to the way she treats Haley.
For me her behaviour was perfectly normal before, I actually know many mothers who treat their kids or at least one of them exactly like the twins' mother treats Haley, but it seems that's not the story viitgames is going for here.
Still, like I wrote I have no problem with that so far.
As for Sandra, it might not be her who has been sexually abused by someone elder, her ticks could have a lot of other explanations.
Could even be Victor himself, we just don't know at this point.

It's not. The vanilla romance has become a bit tainted in drama, which isn't a bad thing. It's just that the addition of the drama was poorly handled. Most of the outrage is due to Haley fans having an existential crisis over what was revealed in 0.55. I would still recommend playing it. It's not a deal-breaker of an update. Not yet at least.
