Really disappointed with the endings. Most of them are good story wise but they should all have had alot more sex montages. Some endings are very chaste. They should expand each and every one if them. Also they should show what happens to all the girls you don't choose.
For Nicole we should have been shown our life with her after the resort.
The end sex scene with Jessica at the movie studio should have been longer.

The endings just need more followups and a extension.

Agreed, I'll post my full thoughts tomorrow, but having just finished playing the update, yeah. This was very disappointing.

You're correct, there's nothing wrong with the actual storylines themselves, and there are some multi-girl options available. They're just so fucking short. Especially given the best note of comparison for these endings are the goodbye stories in S2, which were very well done imo, this was a massive let down.

Inceton really wanted to make sure this game was finished by the end of the year, and it shows, similar issues that lead to my major criticisms for their NTR release Thot on Trial back in August. They got delayed two weeks for the previous 0.9.0 update because they fired the head writer, and even this update got delayed a few days to make sure everything was ready. And it still isn't complete! Sophie's ending is not even in the game yet!

You can delay things! In fact, delaying the full release until early 2026 would've been the better move imo. Then you can really work each ending into a great finale. As it stands, the game didn't stick the landing imo. You get some nice little scenes, and then it just ends.

Also, no harem ending. Boo. Closest you can get is the foursome family ending (Megan/Jessica/Elizabeth), or the two throuple endings (Jessica/Chloe, and Megan/Zoe, and Jessica/Chloe is more a single scene in the otherwise Solo Jessica ending, and the Megan/Zoe ending is a massive letdown, not even a sex scene!) But as it stands? Half the endings lack any sort of sex at all, and they all kinda just end after a short montage.

Overall, a disappointing way to cap off this years long journey.

Only thing which we can be grateful for is the fact they didn't fuck up the actual story too much. This can be saved by expanding on the endings.I felt the same way. Story wise most of the endings were great. Jessica ending up as a film star and Ellie as a fugitive were good (still think I would rather prefer a better ending for Ellie since she's suffered too much. From being a new girl with no friends to either being a fugitive or having to move again which I think is just too cruel for a sweet girl like her) the sex scenes were all two short imo and there were less follow up than I would have liked. Like at the end with Jessica and the scene in her trailer that should have been a big long scene cementing their love maybe a pregnancy reveal as well. There should be a big long sex scene at the end of ending as well since alot of them were too chaste. Also would like some more story follow up for each characters endings. Like is Jessica still keeping her relationship with her brother a secret or how does Nicole navigate dating her student.

Overall I think alot of these issues can be solved by just expanding on the existing endings rather than remaking it.

Damn' they done Ellie dirty. She was my favorite in S1. The other endings were pretty good overall though. I guess can't get them all happy endings

I'm pretty meh about this game now so the finale reinforced my feelings. Every game has a shelf life and the expiry date on this one is long past.

Time for the devs to move onto new projects.

sooo no new hiden events, no new bonus scenes, no new tapes, endings were worse than crap, not to mention the so sought lust button, was never used in any of the rushed endings despite being a "must" be used feature. Rushed as fck... Season 1 was much better than this game, with season 2 going over the top with all the extra stuff, season 3 has absolutely nothing worth playing.

Ok, played all the paths now.
The endings had to do three things.
1) Be well written
2) Be satisfying
3) Not be rushed

As Meatloaf once said, 2 outta 3 aint bad... Because they were rushed.
Most of them felt like they just... stopped. Like I don't need to know every single thing that happens to them for the rest of their lives, but some of these endings really were too far the other way!
Except Alice... Seems obvious to me from that ending that Inceton consider the Alice ending the cannon one, and you know what? I'm not mad at that, I kinda do too after seeing it! (especially compared to all the others!)

So that's it then! The end of the VN that started it all for me. The one that made me go on a multi year VN bender (which I'm sure will go on for many years still).
Of the MANY VN's I've played, Lust Theory isn't the best written, the best rendered, the best plotted... but it was my first. So it will always be the most special.

Thank you Inceton. (But especially Embercat who actually managed to salvage a good 3rd chapter out of the embarrasment of the 2nd chapter end!).

The loop is closed, it's Monday. Let's see what the future brings.

Without spoiling I think that 3 of them are great... thus I'm wondering why the others are meh or even so disappointing ?
They've kept Sophie as next release soooo why not doing it with more than just her ?

Its obvious that Alice was cannon,cause Carol could've just erased the memory of Ellie just like she did on Alice path but nope
