Yep its those first 2, the other unfortunately has strong sandbox elements and I got bored with how those elements were presented and thinking I was wasting my time so gave up on it, maybe one day I give it another chance, only one sandbox game that I think it is way better than all other renpy sandbox games and isn't even on my sig. Not hard to guess what game it is since it is top 10 on the site hehe.
For me it is mostly the MC Jade that shines and runs the show, it is a well crafted character for someone like me that if has a choice always chose dominant over submissive even though I don't mind to play the submissive once in a while, just never always submissive

gonna be a hard time to beat Jade as MC in the next game.
Yes KN give lot of focus on the non verbal cues and that is very important and a few other games do that well too, the reactions, body language and expressions sometimes say more than all the dialogue in the world. But this game is also written well for someone that hasn't English as their main language (as I do too, Portuguese is my 1st so I may be wrong and don't get how "bad" this is written lmao).
It is ok to gushing over it, it may not be for everyone since its a futa game and with a very dominant MC and there is players that prefer more submissive MCs besides other kinks and fetishes that the game have but most are avoidable anyway by not entering some character paths.
Before I started playing I read a bit on the thread and selected some reviews to read as always, at first thought it was just an art choice but then I understood that the dev probably selected a graphic program more in line with the hardware they had and I guess with the experience they had with those programs and this way they could deliver content faster, I can be wrong though, I guess they upgraded since then and are experiencing with Daz.
I see a lot of progression in the visual quality also even though it is the same program, experience and learning with it is shown in each update. For what I read next game with be in Daz right? Eventually later will learn Blender too haha, to work together with Daz, seems the best mix graphically for this visual novels.
