It's been a while since i played this game. Is it still sort of repetitive? are there any threesome scenes now?

Yes, this game is very repetitive. You have to click things all the time. Eh, now I come to think of it, that's how you play interactive games. :ROFLMAO:
I was a little vague. Last time I played, you took different girls to the same location ( bar,beach,pool )until you got to sleep with them in the hotel room. I lost interest after repeating that with the third girl.

They understood the statement just fine, and the threesome question too.

But as it says sandbox at the top of each of the 1082 pages and the game has been known for 3½ years, repetitive is not really a valid statement to make in here.

That is by now so dead even necromancers complain that the dead horse Bantry likes to beat up has it better.
So the regulars decided to see the fun angle instead of going into that old thing again.

To answer the question part, there are no threesomes.

Yes, I Have a 100% save of the latest version... took me a little while to get there but managed it.
I have to say the satisfaction of getting to 100% for myself was well worth it :)

Not too hard to do as well, credit to darkhound1 for making it straight forward and fairly easy to do, Yumiko easter egg was tough... but got it in the end. ;)
do you can send me?

I think you mean to say...
"Can you send me please?" (corrected for grammar and politeness)

Unfortunately, None of the regulars for this game, including myself give out save files.
Its been documented many times in this thread about how it will not help you see all the Scenes/Events/Appointments and all the foreplay and sex acts in the game.

It's a sandbox game, not a VN with reply gallery.

And ALICE gets her Company Favour royalties again for having to come to tell another person...

My fapping sense is tingling.
While things can change and the count is indeed rising at a quick pace these days there are two reasons worth keeping in mind,
  • We already know the release is not right around the corner
  • The task list is incomplete
Darkhound explained v3.0 one week ago on patreon.
If the release was ready now'ish, there would not have been any reason to do so.

Looking at the list it is clear that the MC has arrived at the lab and settled in, so there is solid progress indeed, but equally clear is also that his stay and leaving again are not on the list yet.

We should expect the list of tasks to increase.
