Hey Tom
Thanks for giving my silly little game a try and I'm so very pleased you're finding something to enjoy about it.
It is, as you've guessed, a heavy story based first and foremost and is quite a slow burn for the first couple of chapters. Largely as I needed to set up quite a few things for the player and get them into the rhythm of the game, understand some of the plot and get a feel for the characters.
Three it starts to warm up and Four goes rather bonkers on the old sex front btw...
But as the guys say, there are a lot of paths and your relationships with the characters will very much depend on your choices. Chris is a good example whereby she can be an antagonist, a friend, a domme or indeed a pure romance option all depending on how you play your MC. I never saw why characters in games had to one dimensional. Why they couldn't react like...well, like we do y'know? We like people we like and we don't like people we don't. So why shouldn't they?
But for each character there is more than one path and relationship and not all of those have to be sexual. After all Amanda might not be everyone's cup of tea sexually but you still might like her. Again, I never saw why your relationship with a character in the game had to be purely defined by sex.
As to Sarah...well, she's one of the more interesting ones pathwise. She certainly has an odd outlook on life for sure...
