It's a first-person view. There's only so much that can be done with it, and it really became a liability over the course of development. I'm not going to touch this kind of viewpoint again for a game like this, so my upcoming game (Supermodel) features a third-person view a lot of the time and no hidden faces.
It is the only time sensitive quest in the game. If she gets arrested, that relationship path is cut off. You can still win the game (if you get her out of jail), but you cannot romance her or get in a FWB relationship with her. If you don't want to devote any daytime slots to investigating, you can get the whole quest done in 5 days (3 nights investigating in library, then talk to people and reveal 1st secret, 1 more night searching the alley, then more talking to people and reveal 2nd secret). Running around talking to people and revealing secrets doesn't use up any time slots, so that's the most efficient way to do it without interfering in other projects. The fastest method (1 full day investigating in the library instead of 3 nights) takes 3 days.
My guide has instructions for every quest and is searchable plain text:
It's not possible to have everyone be happy at the end in one playthrough, unless you avoid seducing some of the women. Nell and Evelyn, in particular, cannot be seduced without committing to romance with them, which means if you have sex with everyone, one or the other of them will always be unhappy in the epilogue. To avoid any tears in the epilogue, you have to skip romancing one of them.
She's not super-muscly, but Samarra, the Black girl, is an athletic warrior-type. And unless I'm mistaken, there is some sort of sexual encounter available with every single female character in the game.
I seem to remember that it departs from POV perspective in some of the sex scenes with the Fairy Queen. That felt perfectly fine, and I don't think there's any problem with a game that's mostly first-person but switches to third-person when that gets awkward… like in the kissing shots. (Lots of porn vids do the same, and it's usually pretty seamless as long as the actress remembers where to look.)
1. Reveal the Crone's secret.
