Hmm, wondering if we'll need a walkthrough on this game for dancing through the club politics, or if it'll be more of a binary, yes/no to which girls you want to build with.

Lol, reminds me of strip clubs in the US in the 90's, went to a club in Chicago, the girls could get naked but they couldn't sell alcohol, I had a stripper kick a boiling hot coffee on my crotch for not tipping her for her phoned in dance of just walking around. Needless to say bouncer and Mgr were involved when I started yelling at the girl, in the end my cover was returned and I went to Hooters to destroy their patrons on the trivia game...

In Florida you could drink but the girls couldn't go any further than a bikini (zzz).
You all need to go to Montreal to see a real strip club as it's meant to be! Failing that at least Ontario where everything short of insertion is fair game during a lap dance...

hmm, putting a man with inoperable tumor in his brain as MC in a non-fantasy setting is certainly an interesting choice. I just hope a cure will be present somehow in the future story otherwise not a fan of playing as a dying man. I don't get the hate people throwing toward devs and the game about some LIs being strippers. They aren't prostitutes. The only things they do are just show a bit of bikini and lap dances that don't involve anything past that. Also two of them are older than MC so their past sexual experiences are to be expected as long as they aren't full-on selling their bodies.

Well, I can't say I was completely surprised at the end, but even so, I found the opening salvo delightful and enjoyable. Looking forward to the continuation.

I'd give more detailed thoughts, but right now my critical thinking only works to form sarcasm and sass, and I didn't actually feel any of that playing this one ...

Cue lecture from the LI purity faction in 3.. 2.. ;)

I kinda like the inoperable brain tumor or similiar (like a MH issue) type plotlines, they aren't very common and are relatable to some of us. One line the MC says if you choose "make an impression" or whatever during the parking lot fight kinda resonated with me, "You picked a fight with someone who has nothing to lose..." or something like that.

Totally agree, that's why I think it's an interesting choice even tho it does make me concerned about the future story, because let's be honest, I don't think any harem players would want to see any outcome other than "and they live happily ever after", so MC's condition does raise concern.

Okay, seriously, what is this game about, a Harem or Polyamorous?
Going by what i'm reading it will be like the group stuff in BW, so poly.

If I'm not mistaken, Florida has one fully nude club in the Keys, Key West I think, I drove past it once while there. They had signs up saying, "Florida's Only Fully Nude Show," and stuff. I almost back tracked and visited just for the novelty, but I was with some family and strip clubs have never been a thing I've been a big fan of. That was years ago though so idk if it's even still around.

Now a topless show in Vegas with variety acts and stuff, count me in, those are a whole experience, :ROFLMAO:

It was a good start, but the two I'm most interested in got almost no screen time, Fawn and Thora... :(

Also MC's... condition... hits really close to home... :(
Fear not, we've met only like half the LIs and this was the first episode. I wanted to flirt with Pixie more. :)

I just looked back at the planned tags and nothing indicates this'll be fantasy or sci-fi, but maybe there will be a MacGuffin of some sort. (Actually some RL science news that just came out of South Korea might help him.) But if not, is this a first? Ok no, I can think of at least one other with a similiar plot point but it is a much darker setting. Still, I look forward to exploring what it is like to have a literal deadline in that amount of time. (I didn't mean to make that sound so cheery though. :/ )

This was a real mixed bag for me. Obviously the renders and characters models are top notch as expected from the previous game and the writing is of a very good quality. Where the game falls flat for me is the plot.
Giving the mc a terminal illness right of the bat is honestly a complete deal breaker for me. Unless there is some sort of sci-fi McGuffin that's going to come into play why the fuck would i want to play as a character that has an immediate loss state. Its like why even get a love interest if you know your gonna die, its honestly very selfish behavior. The strip club isn't my thing either to be honest, no disrespect to anyone who does it for a living it just isn't my cup of tea and i cant see myself dating any of them. It just left a pretty depressing vibe to the whole thing and i just don't think i can ever get invested in a character who will ultimately die. I guess i was just hoping for something closer to there previous game which is one of my favorites but this seems like a pretty big departure in terms of tone. I've no doubt it will be successful but just not for me.
To be fair, on a long enough timeline every character you play as will die. Everyone ever born will die. But I do kind of get the same vibe, of it not being the best hook for the beginning of an AVN. I'll let the dev cook though.
