I was just liking where the story was going to head, then bam, i get hit with complete wimp MC. All the decisions are about non-essentials, and it's as generic as a wimp story can be. Maybe next time the decisions in the game will mean something useful, and the MC will actually have the ability to stand up for themself, but as is, this tired retelling of an idiot getting dragged further into their own stupidity without the player having a say is not for me.

Good luck to the dev, but I have seen too many idiot MC games coming out lately, and can't stand another one.

That's different, there's not logistical reason to like or dislike ntr. The only direct benefit is the fetish itself (or lack of it). I mean, I guess the people wanting to only be with one girl at a time are looking for something more along the lines of a simulated romance? therefore being with another woman would feel like cheating? I guess I can't knock them for that, these are lonely times and if I wasn't traumatized as fuck I might want that kind of interaction; though I've played plenty of harem games that had those feelings, they just had the "you don't have to only love one person" mentality.

But from a straight porn per hour metric, I just can't get behind a game that forces me to play more than once to see everything. I don't even go back to play the other path when a game is like "light side or dark side", I make saves like I'm going to go back and see what all the other options give me, but ultimately I never do.

Bug? Or am I missing something? After talking to sis and checking my phone it says I have to sleep ASAP, but I can't really go anywhere except that one small room on the left in which I can do nothing.

You should be able to go into the other door on the left next to that one, it will be your bedroom

Im 100% with the same opinion. Feel railrolled all the way. It seem the choices are illusory...
To that add the fact that all the decisions that the MC do are forced by others, so the MC is already in the passive protagonist archetype.. Your having sex? not your choice. Do you think it would be hot to see the tits of your teacher? I thin/ It dosnt mather what you think! :ROFLMAO:
The game has a lot of care, anyone can notice that. But all the voyeur and forced action upon the MC I kinda feel... powerless?
Dou you know what kind of kink like to feel this this way? :ROFLMAO: (joke)
Best of luck to the dev, it shows that this game have a lot of time and passion in to it.(y)

Yeah, I don't know why so many of these games have such passive protagonists who are always dictated to by the other characters. I understand people like femdom and I don't mind it on occasion but that doesn't mean the MC should always be passive in all their relationships. Surrendering control and being dominated doesn't mean that the person has no control of their own life <shrug>.

Ah well, I've already decided this isn't the game for me, glad to not be alone in my opinion about the story and MC, but I don't need to ceaselessly harp on what doesn't appeal to me either. As I've said before best of luck to the Dev, I hope they have great success with their game. It looks amazing.

The few choices there are do add/subtract points to a few variables that may come into play eventually, but from what I've seen of the game so far, there's almost no player agency or indeed ability for the MC to affect events. We're just railroaded through one scene after the other, with the MC just a passive object drifting along on the plot. Add to that the fact that I can't read half the script because of the white script on light backgrounds and all in all I'm unimpressed with what I've seen so far.

The visuals are pretty nice, but that's about all it's got going for it.

Well I was enjoying this game until the mother/bathroom/basement thing and then the fight in bathroom with Dave.
I think that despite the no ntr thing (haha) that the dev is a closet cuck anyway. So yeh, as the infamous, tried and tested spongebob meme says "ight imma head out".

I understand, but like you said, in logical terms I also can't spend hours playing just to make the MC a resigned cuckold and watch while the others have sex, including with his own girl.

Animations are pretty brilliant.
Scrollback isn't always available, so save every day.
The one thing that did actually annoy me a little: there are several timed silences (for dramatic purposes I guess) where there is no text on screen, but if you click to move forward, this will skip the first sentence spoken/thought after that silence as well.

Well the house blows up even if mc doesnt turn on the gas so thta means whether he turns on the gas or not, the house is going to blow nevertheless, so I dont understand the logic of giving the choice of turning on the gas or leave from house as both options lead to the same outcome.

Renders were top notch, women all over-boobed but still managed to be alright (the 2 mothers were probably my favourites) - though Carmila reminded me of Gollum for some reason, dialogue was in good English but wasn't really interesting, needs the skip transitions option included, felt very linear - I'm pretty sure choices don't matter at all so far, good amount of content for a first release - much more than I expected.

Best friend needs a slap, drags you into all this trouble then complains that you're giving away underwear and says he'll never forgive you if you do.

Was a bit odd that you can access the phone only at one point in the game, and there you can reply to messages and stuff so it's not a pointless thing, I wonder if the dev meant for that to be more of a thing but just couldn't work it in to the rest of this first chapter (like with most of the stuff on it being a work in progress, same as the computer)... but I did like the extra stuff you can discover if you snoop around like your mother's giant dildos or the sister's buttplug tail thing.

I imagine folks are going to be grumpy at the sister having done stuff with the douchey guy, and the mother being in the toilet with those students, despite the fact it says there'll be no NTR in the OP.

Should maybe point out that what is in the game currently is not really netori in the sense of stealing someone else's partner; it's more a case of the MC being used as a prop in another couple's hotwife play, essentially being forced/blackmailed by a husband into having sex with his wife while the husband watches.
