Think this is it! Just clarifying this is about possible romance paths -- how the characters can change in general in a non-romantic sense (for example Dominique turns a specific direction but maybe as a lover not true romance) could be different. The trickiest metric is the "somewhat" flexible one as it's hard to say what I mean exactly. Maybe best to say this subset are not fundamentally changing as people, but rather Kane helps brings up that side of them that was kind of already there in a way...but either tucked away or suppressed a little. Dominique in Episode 5 on dom path is a perfect example of what I am thinking, but it's harder to verbalize well.
Thanks, more clear.
So you need to stay in the same boat as the LI (evil/good) and the interaction will depend on dom/sub.
So I suppose in the Dom path you will be more capable of flexibilize one LI than in the sub path, correct?

And don't forget Olivia could cockblock you....:ROFLMAO:

Not to spoil entirely, but I would say for some characters (the more flexible ones) the morality is more critical than dom/sub but not all so say for example Alessandra could romance dom OR sub...and for less flexible, you may be limited (for real romance anyway) to morality/dom or sub. I can't do like four romance paths (dom/good/sub/evil) for every single main female LI as that's not super realistic anyway and impossible to write without taking a year plus for a good update to do them justice, so there necessarily will be some closed paths for specific types of player choices. (the most obvious one being don't expect a submissive and especially good man to win over Juliette as a ROMANCE option, even though there may be "other" fates possible with her)

I can never publicly comment on our resident piano player in the game in terms of romance (err I guess her mother also plays piano, not clear yet in story, but both do)

Not too optimistic about "other" fates with Juliette for a good/sub Kane. He may have the pleasure of meeting Big Kitty and her friends, up close and personal.

Yes, I understand it correctly. I tried to summarize it in a few words only.

It will be so nice to have dozens of paths and endings, but I agree the time and effort required to do it will be excessive if done it at the same high level as everything in this game, and IMO better less but great and congruent than a lot rushed (unfortunately some games in this site seems to take this path in the last chapters).

The resident piano player..... here you have us (at least me) in the dark, is this girl or is the other.....

A few minor points: Elena listens to a particular song that is clearly old (computer AI program confirms it end of 0.2 that it wasn't played for a LONG time for her -- 22 years and..., the song was also called "New Life" and composer is stated as Callista Jacobs - or whatever last name player picked for main character) so a younger person clearly didn't write it. Maybe that song was written for a specific person at a specific time that is meaningful to Elena. Why 22+ years ago? Alexander likes that song for perhaps similar/different reasons, but it wasn't necessarily performed/played right there in his room but possibly a recording. (likely a hospital room) More than person might play the piano, and that fact doesn't necessarily mean something else without more evidence. Anyway, have a great weekend all :)

You definitely overinterpret that game and your imagination exaggerates details that or just without any special meaning in reality. It may all be just some random stuff and nothing comes out of it.
Actually, the game is more about a lot of persons doing sex. Simple as that.
It's pretty hard for the dev/author to misinterpret their own game, but ok, haha!

I would say the game is more THAN a lot of persons doing sex (although obviously we have come for what we have come hahaha)

Well, anything can be important, but it absolutely is relevant when that song was written. I'm certainly glad some people can just enjoy the sex scenes but that others with different critical thinking/reading comprehension skills can also catch little subtle details which also increase their enjoyment of the story beyond the kinks. (I was very impressed for example with one person catching Veronica saying IS instead of WAS for example, as that definitely was on purpose by me.)

You have made a good work introducing little hints here and there (maybe not all are true....hehehe) like when Delilah tells Kane about the DeKock and how he can join them (is she a spy?) or when Alessandra talks for the first time with Olivia and subtly says they know all about her old life like she (and Kane and Kallista were tracked.

All that adds a lot in a game :)

That sentence have such a big impact firstly because of the information but more than that Veronica made a mistake :eek: (or has a feel like dropped her guard enought to make a mistake)
Yes, and with who she dropped her guard, which maybe plays into her true goal perhaps. Just attaching a 0.6 image for fun as I am working on it today at home.

So, this game looks really nice, and has been recommended to me several times, but if I'm not into femdom or foot stuff is it still worth a play? I liked the maledom/bdsm of Hail Dicktator, and Cure my Addiction, but the femdom could be pretty much avoided in those games. ;)
I'm also not a big fan of multiple protags especially if they switch genders, how is that handled here? Is it mostly flashback stuff? :unsure:
Lots of folks seem to enjoy this game quite a bit, so best of luck Dev! (y)

You have two protagonist one male one female. You also have a dom path in the game. It still have a bit of femdom but no heavy stuff so unless you absolutely hate femdom you should give it a shot. Also as someone who love Hail Dicktator I also love this game
