Well, after playing through this new version, I must say, I actually like the MC taking a beating to protect his mom.
That's really the kind of shit I like, because sometimes you do lose, but you at least have to stand up for yourself and those you love.
That being said, I could have lived with the mind-control rape, if at some point the MC would really be able to turn the tables and make BBC pay. (because in incest porn game logic, it's of course only the MC who is allowed to fuck his mom
)
The only thing I fear now is that the dev might spread himself too thin by giving this wide variety of options, he should try to get back to one or two strings again, so he doesn't power himself out, having to write and render too many different options.
I know we all want meaningful decisions, but it also has to stay manageable.
I've seen too many good games die, because the dev just didn't manage to keep going with the many paths.
And it's no fun when games start out multi-path and then reduce your options more and more.
Anyway, the writing on this is good, the renders look fine so far (the women we have seen), of course you would wish for some models you haven't seen in five dozen other ren'py games, but I try not to fault devs for their limited options in this regard.
This game was a solid from the start, even with the unavoidable rape/mindcontrol/ntr, but now it's something to really look out for.
I also want to include a response to one of the other reviewers who wrote something along the lines of:
"Anyway; be warned that if you go into this expecting something that will allow you to explore a multitude of avenues regarding your fetishes or desires, you will be sorely disappointed."
It really doesn't seem like a fair review at all. It's basically a punishment for the game not giving the player what he wants, not because there's anything bad with the game, not to mention that with a first release it is kind of ridiculous to declare the game won't allow you to explore many fetishes and desires.
It's an introduction to some of the characters and the story, there could literally be dozens of fetishes included in later versions, we simply don't know yet.
