I don't know if it became less enjoyable for me, necessarily, I still enjoy it just as much and am obviously more emotionally committed because of it, it just added a whole new dimension of pain(To be dramatic about it lol) that gave me some guilt from enjoying it(Especially from the sex scenes) and make me reflect on my own fetishes/preferences, as they were.

Yeahhhhh I got partway through AL and the scene where you pick(I believe Reina) up from her situation gave me such a bad vibe I didn't want to finish it. Unlike this, which made the tragedy, while obviously terrible, more worthwhile overall with AL it seemed to throw it further off the rails than I could sense it was already getting. I read a few comments after that told me it got much, much worse in the following chapter so I feel secure in that decision lol. Shame because it was a good game beforehand and BADIK is a top 10 hands down.

In the interest of paying it forward a similarly dark surprise(Not exactly a surprise) awaits you in

if you haven't played that. There are others but they don't come to mind right away.
You're lucky man. I played AL to that worst part. And it's divided my porn game experience to before and after. Now I read a lot of reviews. And I even avoid BADIK.

And when we talk about Haley, I just didn't expect something like this, from the game marked as harem. But in the end, I somehow liked it. This story about teacher changed my attitude completely. And it's the first time for me, when game pushes me to other girls, but I prefer to stay with one. Even in Melody, almost perfect one girl game, I felt some pressure to stay only with main LI. I just hope, that all this pretty serious relationships with other girls, doesn't lead to "healing" Haley from her "brothers problem", on top of the her trauma. Because it would be pretty realistic.

Oofda sorry to hear that, man, BADIK is really worth it, some of the absolute best characters/character models and scenes but from what I've heard I get you avoiding it if Acting Lessons had that effect on you. I had a similar reaction to the Klaus scene where it really set up a before/after feeling to the VNs I played. And I get you about staying with the main LI; I do a playthrough of most games with the main/preferred LI solo then do the rest. Tried with Haley but Sandra was too adorable to break up with honestly.
Summer With Mia also gave me a before/after feeling with the dad bj scene but the surprise in that one was much more "vanilla" and sexually based surprise as opposed to this one/AL/Avalon where the surprise is more emotional.

I think it is more likely that the therapist sessions would "heal" Haley of her "brothers problem". But I don't really see that as happening either, unless it's one of the 'bad' endings that the developers come up with.

I don't believe that Haley is really into girls, but she will do almost anything to stay with her brother. I cannot conceive of a situation where Haley would leave the MC to have a relationship with one of the other girls in the game.

I really hope you're right, man. But I saw some really bad endings in this games. And I didn't mean, that we will see her with some guy. I thought about ending where she just goes to live her own life. And we're staying with girl of our choice. And there's room for good/worst ending, when we're on a Haley's path exclusively. It's just a pretty fucked up theory. Just something about therapist, when she told Haley about two major points in her live. It bothered me a little.

I don't know how the developers plan to handle the endings in the coming Epilogues. But I assume there will be at least a few that will be considered 'bad'.

There have been a lot of choices that could affect how this game plays out - not to mention variable-points gained or not gained. Choices should matter.

But I cannot envision the developers having NO endings where the MC and Haley do not end up together in a loving, sexual relationship, with or without some other LI.

Yeah. Largely in response to some of your observations, I have all four paths, both with and without Pupster's intervention, in active play. Some of those have to have a "good" result.

I agree. I don't mind actually endings where Haley will leave MC, if he has a serious relationship with other girl. I know, that there's a harem tag. But I was playing Adi route afterwards and it felt almost cruel to Haley.

If only we could get her to stop calling you daddy. Never been so genuinely messed up by a piece of fiction that wasn't an award-caliber movie/book/etc
maybe your not old enough ,,,, but well i am quite old ... and i enjoy hearing Haley call me daddy ... say what you want be it is a fetish like so many others ...

Yes, it's hot, but I think, MC suspect that all this sub stuff is a result of that things, happened in the past. And I can't blame him for that.
That's fairly common IRL, and it isn't necessarily unhealthy. Quite a few people into BDSM find that it helps them process previous traumas.

And may be it will help in the game. But it's still a healthy reaction from brother, given the circumstances. It's just not everybody knows it, and i'm sure that even not everybody can accept this kind of treatment. Right now, he can see her desire to obbey to some "Daddy" figure, that will treat her rough. And with all he knows, it doesn't sound good.

Yeah one impression I never got from this game is that MCs choices don't matter. I've seen a few complaints to the contrary but I don't see it myself. Every single one can't be important but there are quite a few that're essential depending on the paths you want to take so I fully expect almost all relevant branching paths/endings to be related to said choices.
Would be genuinely shocked if there wasn't at least a healthy thruple with Sandra ending, particularly, but there are quite a few possibilities even without considering things that haven't happened yet.

So, today/tomorrow, huh?
There is nothing new yet (at any level) on Patreon or SubscribeStar.

This is not unusual. The games don't usually appear on those sites until late on the 20th, and don't show up here until some time on the 21st.

I don't think there'll be ANY good ending without Halley. I.e. It would be Bad Ending, Halley ending, or Halley+1 ending.

I originally had some interest in Adriana but somewhere down the line it fizzled. This is the one game that I don't go for all the paths, at least so far. I go for Halley alone and H+S paths.
I.e. I am not holding my breath for this update as I don't care about Lilly Lisa that much.
