I want to like this game, but the walkthrough is unclear at times. The hint system is an actual improvement over the lack of any hints in previous builds, but I do think they should track all available tasks including grayed out repeatable events just so those of us who haven't played in months, can remember what content has been done, and what needs to be done, and what is available that is repeatable.
After not playing this game since v0.12, finally played v0.17 and was happy to see some 'soft' paths introduced, and finally got to work on the main story and Monique's jetski adventure. That said, it's hard to tell just wait content is main story related and what is just side content. This long into this project, I'd really hoped we could finally move the story along, but unless I'm missing something, not only are we forced to blackmail Sarah regardless if we spy or leave her meeting with Aiko and Alexander, but the main story ends right after the MC blackmails Sarah in the evening and Alexander is found dead the day after??
Other than that, I just grinded time until I could trigger Monique's jetski mishap, while accepting Trevor's offer to be a manwhore for gilfs. While I've maintained positive relations with all the LI without resorting to blackmail, is Karina blackmailing Aiko still side content or is that also part of the main story? I ask, because there seems to he a lot of content locked behind blackmailing her...and eventually Kate, which I would prefer to avoid completely. I was happy to see in spite of blackmailing Sarah, there were no hard feelings (depending on choices with her in flagrante delicto), so if I had to resort to that with the other girls, hopefully there won't be any hate points accrued.
