There are many ways for corruption to be introduced in a story. It's a challenging narrative, especially if the female protagonist isn't the braindead bimbo trope we often see in these porn games. And I think it's already introduced in JOHN because Jessica has the opportunity to make some questionable decisions on a few occasions. It can easily lead to more content on the corruption/cheating path without feeling rushed because of the character's potential moral ambiguity.This is not a corruption game though. From my understanding, most Corruption games are usually about innocent women getting blackmailed. Jessica on the other hand has the ability to make her own choices, whether she stays loyal to her bf, or act like a slut. It's really refreshing to play a female protagonist where the Female MC is able to be a slut on her own volition without being coerce to do so. She can cheat on her bf because SHE wants to. I honestly dislike it when women are blackmailed as I don't find coercing women to sex hot.
Killing Connor would ruin it for players who likes the cheating route. Part of the charm for people who like the cheating route is that female mc is betraying her bf behind his back. (I don't condone cheating on your partner irl though, but this is a fictional adult game )
Personally, I lost most of my interest in JOHN when it became apparent that the dev is stalling the sex scenes on the slut/corruption/cheating path. It became abundantly clear after Parker and the mayor's most recent segments because those were the perfect opportunities for the dev to bump up the sexual content to the next level, and he didn't go all the way.
It actually reminds me of that one nameless dev (you probably know the one) who has the fan-favorite older female character giving foot/thigh/handjobs to the player character for two years straight without escalating further despite the sexual tension reaching the required level of believability from a story perspective a long time ago.
If you like the lesbian and boyfriend simulator scenes - more power to you, but I view this project as a big disappointment with how it turned out, which is a shame because the render work stoper put into JOHN is up there with the best of them still.
