I am not having any luck in this game lately.

Naomi is my favourite of all the girls, and she still hasn't returned. Audrey is my most disliked of all the girls, and she comes back into the game even though I wish she stayed gone forever. I enjoyed the first scene with Olivia, but the second scene ruined that part of the story because now we aren't sneaking around anymore since she's apparently in an open relationship. Also, the father isn't evil anymore either, so we don't get as much enjoyment out of cucking him (or even cuck him at all really), and Ashley doesn't have a reason to run off to become a trashy stripper. Not that she ever needed to be a stripper, that was just another disappointing development. The librarian turned out to have a bdsm fetish, which I'm not interested in. And we still don't have anything with Victoria yet. What we do have is a brand new wannabe weeaboo waifu who looks like she belongs in a completely different game.

Haley is my second favourite girl, and she gets a bimboificaiton scene which I was not into at all. So even the girls I like are getting scenes I don't want to see. After finishing all the content for my current save, I had only unlocked 7/22 scenes in the gallery. Several new characters just got added to the story, but that isn't really what I was hoping for. Eva is okay, but what I really want is Victoria. Kayla is pretty, but she can't compete with Naomi.

Apart form the Olivia stuff, the game isn't bad or anything. It's just not what I've been looking forward to. The main plot never really gripped me, so it's hard to stay interested in the story. It's also hard to stay interested in the girls that I do like because now I don't know if they are going to get written out of the story like Naomi, or rewritten like Olivia.

The game is well made as a whole. The sandbox navigation is very good at minimizing the annoyances of it being a sandbox, and we even have an option to play story mode to get rid of all that stuff entirely. The renders are very well done, and most of the models look great. But the game just feels like it lacks an overall vision. For instance, those sleep creep segments you can do every night seem at odds with the romantic nature of the main characters relationship with the girls you can creep on. I would think those sorts of scenes would be better off in a game about blackmail or revenge or something where the girls don't actually want to have sex with you or even like you at all. Here everything is all lovey dovey, and then you just get a choice to become a sex offender. It's odd.

Ah the old "we want an incest-like home setting, but don't want to threaten our bottom line by actually committing to it."

that's my favorite /s
On the other hand the story fits that very well. None of them is like "Oh no, we can't do that. We're roommates!" Both Ashley and Samantha do what they do when they want to do it. No convincing or anything is needed. I think this game really IS intended, not to have any incest.
The setting at the beginning of the story is not much more than a Harry Potter Hommage in my opinion.
