After playing this for far too many hours, I see you raise some good points. As to your first one, at least we're given options to turn down money and just do it because we want to for free... so that one's kind of a non-issue, but I agree that depravity would be a much better word to use. You're also right that money is pretty useless after awhile, but coming up with the initial 19k does require quite a bit of hooking.The whole game is a fucking mess. It has such potential, but at this state, I doubt it will ever get finished and have fluidity to the gameplay. The lewdness meter is ridiculously slow to fill and is totally backwards in how it works. When Kate is most desperate at the beginning of the game, is when one would think that she should be most willing to do what she has to do to survive. Later in the game, when she has stacks of money, she doesn't need to be sucking dicks in the alley or taking it up the ass at a the gloryhole. she'll be chilling at home. Now, if you want to call it a "depravity" meter, and really show her starting to ENJOY these nasty sexual situations, then sure. It could make sense. But "lewdness" makes no sense at all, and restricting her from making money when she is desperate is stupid. There are no events that actually make her NEED money. she can fuck Nina for free rent, and everything else is easily within grasp of turning a few tricks at the massage parlor. There's really no desperation at all, which is what this game desperately needs to have some backbone.
And to top it all off, when you finally do get some sex scenes, half the times the animations (my favorite part of this game) don't even line up correctly!
The Eva story line is as disjointed as it can be. So what, she's a figment of Kate's imagination? Why are you so in love with her after she basically takes you by force in her living room one time? The fuck? And the homeless guy in the alley? Who the hell is that? The devs might have good ideas for these characters, but having them only partially fleshed out just makes this version of the game feel really pointless to play. Don't even add this shit until it's done, it's just making the entire experience feel like even more of a mess. Knowing this dev team though, you'll be able to buy the "Insexsity Plus+" version of the game that actually has the content to fill in these massive plot holes.
I can't be the only one who sees this, can I?
The game is super buggy, but did make me laugh when Kate was giving a handjob by pounding on Oliver's cock with her forearm, so, that's something.
The Eva story line really didn't make any sense for me... in the dreams she's talking about taking her away from the depravity and whatnot, when it's her fault that Kate turned into a whore. The only way I can wrap my head around this is if Kate's pursuit of Eva is really just her falling further down the rabbit hole of "lewdness" and subconsciously wanting to embrace it by being in love with "her".... but! Why? The bigger issue for me, though, was just how rushed everything was with her. Had they taken a little more time to develop an actual relationship with her, it would've made her dream sequences more impactful, but instead she's hastily introduced and like you said, basically just sexually assaults you (par for the course) with no lead up.... and then it turns out that she's not real... and you're someone else? And your sister doesn't exist (in this city at least) or she's Nina's daughter, or you're both Nina's daughters.... who the hell knows. The Lance shit is bonkers, too (but thumbs up for the under the desk stuff).
