Yeah sorry, I don't really do forum posts that often and I didn't know how to get out of that format to a regular post. I'm learning!
Ok, after over an hour of pouring through posts, I finally found the actions I needed to do: NOT peeking at Callie after a certain point, and Evelyn by having lunch a set number of times.
Such...RANDOM actions at a point where I am honestly not interested in doing them. If say, the backrubs were blocked until you did enough lunches to trigger the clue needed, it would make more sense in a relationship-building stance and not mislead so much. As for the Callie thing...yeah that is on me. I honestly didn't see there was a second room closer to me, and that it might hold something. That was my derp.
So now I have them unlocked at around 120 days. Not a bad game, but due to the sheer amount of time needed to get them open...I'm not interested in them now. I kinda just unlocked scenes out of curiosity and completion, not real interest.
I have to say that out of all the characters I could interact with and possibly form a relationship with...I preferred Samarra. Her look is unique, she is capable and strong, she has maybe the best developed background in the game, her kinks run close to mine after you finally best her, and in the end...they feel more like a couple of respect, skill and personal admiration. Stable. STRONG. I wish we could romance her and develop it more. Belle is a fine friend once she calms the fuck down. Mell is maybe a decent choice but a bit too 'kiddy' and innocent for my tastes. Kid sister territory. Callie, sure as a fuck buddy but that's it. Primrose...yeah I think the story could have explored her relationship with her father than my character. Evelyn is fine. Just fine. The fairies at least give you some fun while you grind and fret over how to progress. I am curious to see if the priestess gives us some BDSM options on her (yeah my kink again), and if you can use Callie on her that might make Callie more useful at least.
I am going to amend my review of the game if I can. The story and characters are decent, and I do love how the investigation reveals new aspects and subplots. It is a fun dynamic...while you can find the damned things! However, either due to some pathing issues, limits to what you can use your powers to do, and of course the current build of the game, it's not perfect yet. Please remember some of us (yes, me) are sometimes stupid and miss obvious things to the writer. And spending hours online looking up that one tiny step you missed is not just frustrating, but takes the kink value out of the game.
So please Belle, keep working. You are doing an amazing job. You'll get there. I want to see how this ends.
EDIT: Shit, how do you change a review?
