Just did a full playthrough ch1 - 8 and... nobody here has a problem with how schizo the mc (and even the girls) come off? Almost no acknowledgement that sex scenes happened with other girls until a few lines in ch8. It's "I love you, you're the only one for me" with Amelie and then almost the same in the next scene with Kaylee. Stephanie's personality varies between a bratty teen and... someone who still needs a booster seat - it's very off-putting, especially since the domination route hinted at in ch1 vanished completely. And Amelie's courtship is basically "are you ok? you're pretty! can I rub up on you" on repeat for the entire game. She says "no more, we need to be careful" only to forget being careful 5 min later because... we need more plot.
It's gotten better in ch8 with MC at least realizing the crazy shit he's doing + getting a job (21 yr old bumming around at home is weird) and I hope it improves because the writing is pretty grounded and good, it's just that the characters come across as 2d most of the time (no pun intended)
Disagree completely. While it is
dishonest behaviour I find it pretty realistic. I think a young male trying to fuck 3 different females all living together (related or not) is very likely to try and compartmentalize as much as possible until he is getting as much as he can with each of them. There is no chance he would own up about the other 2 to any of them until things were very well established first. You really think it would be more realistic if a young dude MC tried to rub up on one sister/roommate and immediately tell her he is also trying the same with 2 others?? And a teenage girl acting inconsistently and displaying uncontrolled emotion!?!?
Guessing you never had a sister or daughter, because that is 120% realistic, amigo.
A stable, emotionally mature character at that age is what would really be "off-putting" and unrealistic. And as for Amelie, if you aren't playing the game with the ipatch you should at least be realistic about the fact that many people are and therefore the dev is writing accordingly. From that POV the older woman being very hesitant to cross certain lines is also super realistic. She may be open to it instinctively/physically as a female animal - after being ignored for years by her husband and now being actively courted by another male she already cares for - but that doesn't mean that the rules of society wouldn't weigh more heavily on the adult in that situation. The consequences would certainly fall on her exclusively if they were ever found out. MC is a horndog young male with no thought for consequences, but she doesn't have that luxury. Especially as a complete dependent with no source of income of her own.
I can't wait to have sex with Amelie, sucking milk from her beautiful breasts is just something.
Uh...you do know that her youngest child is a teenager and that's not how breasts work, right?
