Is it okay to ask what's new in update 0.37? New sex scenes?

So I just started playing this, and have a question for anyone who has followed the game and/or knows it much better.

The Tags on page one state that the "Swinging" and "NTR / Netorare" are both optional. Which is why I was 'ok' with trying the game.

I just went to a dinner party with Jake (a NPC), David (MC) and Alla (the wife). Jake made sexual advances and felt up Alla, without me having any ability to avoid or option 'off' the event.

Shortly after this, Alla game David a blowjob in the car, but it was presented (with an image) or her thinking about (fantasizing) about Jake having sex with her.

I didn't see any option to avoid or stop this from happening.

Am I missing something? or is this stuff not actually optional?

I would really appreciate if someone could let me know, I don't want to get further into the game if this type of content is in fact NOT optional.

thanks

Some time later in the game you will be given a choice to abandon that story line for entire game.

Damn!! the game is good but what's with the stepmom, stepson dynamic?! killed the immersion... is there any ipatch for this?

Because Ala was Alex's stepmom in the original game and it makes more sense than her being his actual mother given their cold relationship.

Good point and further, I assume genetics work the same in this universe so I don't think he could reasonably be her biological son and have the complexion he does. The ages also seem to indicate she is a second wife to the father. It's up to everyone what they want to head cannon but there's clearly a logical reason this author kept things the way they were originally, not some sinister urge to "destroy immersion."

Thanks for the reply.

If its something that eventually becomes optional to stop I will keep playing.

Though I do wonder why the ntr / cheating / fantasizing element about another guy would be present at all, without the ability to avoid it or turn it off... Not really trying to criticize, or at least not in a harsh or belligerent way, just seems like an odd thing to force the player into seeing if your going to eventually allow them to disable / off button it.

I'm not saying that the NTR stuff shouldn't be in the game, just seems like an odd decision to force an image of the wife having sex with another man and then (some time after that) give the option to say "I don't want this kind of stuff". As it being present without the ability to avoid/turn off will probably keep some players away.

In either case, thanks for the reply and answer.

Fantasizing about NTR is not actually the act of NTR—shocker!

Sure, this can make sense why their relationship is cold but apart from that there is no build up to the back story of his previous wife or the relationship dynamic behind them. So, it feels like a stereotypical trope to just avoid some other fetishes.

The issue isn’t the choice to make the characters unrelated, it’s the lack of groundwork that makes it feel shallow or unconvincing. Good storytelling isn’t just about what happens but why and how it’s conveyed. If the story introduces a stepmom-stepson dynamic without offering a backdrop to explain the relationship such as the remarriage, the family’s past, or how they got here, it risks feeling like an empty trope rather than a meaningful setup.

Given that the MC's ex-wife, the kid's mum, appears in the game and affects the plot, a relation-swapping patch would probably come out fairly absurd.

Visual storytelling. A white father and non-white mother could not produce that son, I don't know how it's not obvious. Also a ridiculous assertion to say there's an anti-incest bias when Alex fucks his cousin in the original, don't throw around wild accusations.
