I highly regard this game due to great storytelling, clever humor and even the unique art style, but there is a tiny problem... I fear I may be too perverted for this game and through no fault of the game - I simply wanted to acknowledge it.
Recently I had to start from scratch and it was great to immerse myself in this world, even as someone who usually stays away from romance/harem style games. It was very interesting to slowly open up shy characters and hold yourself back from going too far with some more experienced ones. I remember constantly having a feeling that is foreign to me in real life, because relationships you can have in this game are not something you can come by ordinarily. But it worked great as a feel-good emotion in fantasy setting.
I suppose at least some of the things I enjoyed on this journey were due to sneaking around and trying to corrupt naive characters. For example, one of my favorite "scene" in the game comes from the cabin trip where younger female was dressed in MC's shirt and you had the opportunity to slap that booty, it was accompanied by comment which goes something like "not now, you can have some fun with it later" and it just rubbed me in all the right places.
And then it was no more sneaking around, out in the open, more accessible than ever, no more wondering if there will be opportunity. Which was something you longed for while playing, sometimes even thinking to yourself "cmon progress already!", but once it came or rather once it passed, I wonder if the previous good feelings from the journey will come back and what was the real source from them.
At this point I only had some doubts, but once it got "official" and it all got so romantic and real and emotional I started to feel really awkward.. With my hand I clicked all the options I could to be confident and assertive, while in reality I felt like some disgusting cretin invading a pure space. I caught myself clicking next frame faster than I could fully read text as means to try and escape the feeling of not belonging. I guess I had imagine in my head how it could go down and it was not even close in actuality so maybe I was just shocked/surprised. Like I said all of this is through no fault of the game, if anything, it's a compliment how such incredible writing and scene building can invoke strong emotions if not always pleasant ones for some people.
I will by no means abstain from the game, just wanted to share my weird feelings as someone who normally does not play similar games just that this one is such high quality it's a sin not to give it a try. Perhaps if future updates will settle down a little over the first exciting emotions of the characters, which of course is completely justifiable, I will find my "juju" with this game again and recall the first parts of incredible feelings.
Thanks for reading, sorry for long post.
