I will never, never understand the name changes between versions or translations. The only one that made sense I ever encountered is differentiating Asha from Osha when A Song of Ice and Fire became Game of Thrones.

Finally got around to playing v0.18. Does anyone else wonder where these devs get the idea that some of their "dancing" poses resemble anything IRL? I've never seen anyone do the "ta-da" / jazz-hands dance move at this type of club, ever. If it were a jazz club, I could see it. If it were part of an animation, it might be OK, depending how it was done. But it just looks weird as a still frame at a modern dance club. Admittedly, it's been quite a while since I went to one, so maybe there are new dance styles that include that "ta-da" move. Every girl — Gia, Monique, Kate, Aiko, Kelly — has it for the last image of dancing, which I personally think just looks very silly.

Did anyone else find the sandbox elements unnecessarily complicated? this would be 5* otherwise.

Yes, especially after the prologue. It still had sandbox unnecessarily, but at least things were much more heavily VN-style dialogues and choices and not so much wandering around town. There are still events that are much better (like Monica on the jetski), but usually it's a lot of clicking the map or room navigation to get a little bit here and there. Pretty pointless, since you could just have a menu choice and then something like, "I headed over to have a chat with Trevor" or "I managed to catch up with Aiko in the school hall".

you get a life. IF f95-members would be requesting ports, compresseds, etc on proper places aka not in game threads (port and compressed makers don't check threads unless they play those).
yes.

There isn't technically a 100% save, so you'll need to be more specific. There are three primary stats the MC can accumulate: Love, Hate, and Lust. What do you want for your focus? (There are other stats, like the number of times the MC cums inside a girl or her risk of pregnancy as well.) Given there's a considerable amount of variance in approaches and also in paths you can take — not all girls are available on any single path — there is no such thing as a 100% save. It just doesn't exist.

corpses were included on "customers" and so were what futa gives (dunno if repeatable and not interested).

Right. I was just pointing out that technically, there is at least one repeatable anal sex scene in addition to the prostitute (if you agree to do work Trevor gives you). But, like I said, there are no repeatable scenes with the actual LIs at all. I don't really count these side-lays as anything more than appeasement of the super-horny.

The sandbox actually holds this one back because it's only used to get from scene to scene and there isn't anything unique about the scenes themselves. It's just looking for people. If there were stats and jobs and whatnot that impacted what choices are available and how scenes turn out that would change things a bit.
Otherwise the only other problem I have is the blackmail. For one it's basically the only route available in game, if you play a route where you aren't blackmailing the girls or burning bridges you get almost no good content. That wouldn't be bad if the option to influence your blackmail rested on character stats. Why do I bring this up? Because as it stands the blackmail in this game is badly done. When you have a picture of the dean and a faculty member sexually involved with a student that will trump everything in a judges eyes. It's not the police who decide who goes to jail on the spot they simply investigate and they ask questions. So why is there not a scene you can unlock where you bulldog Sarah into supporting your claims before you fuck Kate? If the blackmailer were even decent at the job he would have done this to ensure that if he did end up arrested Sarah would throw Kate or Aiko under the bus getting you out. Otherwise all that info you learned about her gets leaked along with some photos. This alone would muddy the waters so much that no judge would simply say "Yeah this dude raped Kate he's guilty.". The question would become "Did this Aiko girl have fantasies and him wanting out make her do this? In this case Aiko is now the rapist."
These are actual things that will go through ANYONE'S head regardless of whether or not it's a porn game. The blackmail needs to be better done. As it stands Aiko and Kate reverse blackmail route makes no sense as you have a nuclear bomb over both of them. Yes both of them because Kate admitted that her and Aiko LOVE each other. Weak link found. One thing life should teach anyone, you cannot combat a nuclear bomb with a handgun. The photos of Aiko with other girls and Sarah proves she's into kinky shit so how would authorities assume it's black and white instead of shades of grey? If you do reverse blackmail you need to give the initial blackmailer less powerful material. You also need to give the option of going nuclear because he's already shown that he's willing to pull a gun on people. What stops him from making Kate take a load without pills when he could give Aiko a new hole in the head? The MC needs to be drastically "weakened" for the story as written to work. Otherwise it's just a self insert with meaningless choices and it's better off being a kinetic novel.
Finally the UI needs work. Why can't you click the map button from anywhere exactly? That alone would have saved a lot of clicks and time as many locations have multiple rooms like Sarah's house or the University.
Beyond the QOL stuff the only gripe I have is that the MC got a Tsar Bomba while everyone else at best has a 9mm yet he treads carefully in the most meaningless ways and doesn't use his leverage when he should.
