I love this game, I really do, but come on man....
Are you trying to write the most possibly dense and passive protagonist the world has ever seen?
How do we not get the option to make a move on a girl lying in our bed, cuddling in underwear? Who already deepthroated us on the first day we met her? I mean, this is believable if we're playing a clueless loser virgin harem protagonist and the girl's our sister, but in this game, with our protag drowning in pussy everywhere?
The Devon stuff is annoying enough, but I get it, Protag is still hung op on his ex and unsure about starting a new relationship. But with Jessica? And him having casual sex left right and center all over the city?

It's just totally unbelievable and out of character and completely takes me out of the game.

It's like protag during sex scenes and protag outside sex scenes are two completely different characters. Only once Protag has explicitely been told by a girl to fuck her will he initiate any sort of action. Before that he is completely physically passive.

How to get to stay for threesome with Ms Thompson? There is a possibility that mc can stay inside classroom for bj, but that guy commented he doesn't trust him, probably some previous decision i can't remember. Any variable that i can change with console to trigger that?

Right now it's out for $10+ only, 7 days for $5 which I'm guessing there are a lot more of.

Same, though I think when this will really take off is after the next when some serious Devon progression is planned

One of in not the best game if you wanna pure fuckfest and also has interesting characters and story for now. True porn movie genre in a form of a game, ticking all the boxes.

And here I thought devs were regularly applauded for "not caving to patreons/players who want to control their story", I guess damned if you do.....

Also english language tip for you - "not giving up" generally has a positive connotation, you wouldn't apply it to things you dont like which is why I was confused reading your post at first. You wouldn't say "the serial killer never gave up in his quest to kill 30 people", it just sounds weird.

Exactly why I play it, I dont need hours of blandly written character expositions, give me attractive models in semi believable setting banging. His animations are getting better with time, I noticed this update they were all smoother than the old dorm stuff so hopefully will be even better in future.

The MC just stands there gawk eyed like a fool while someone yanks the skirt of his girl. The fact that we were not given any option how to react closes this game for me. The DEV is super insistent on the MC acting like a bumbling idiot Infront of Devon yet being super promiscuous and confident with the other girls. I was a patron at the beginning but now this charade is getting tiring.

This is more of a kinetic novel than a game. There is barely any choices & consequences at all. It is basically see scene/do not see scene kind of false binary choices. You have new coral city in your banner so you must know how a game with true choices and divergent paths look like. This game has non. The player has no control on how the MC behaves at all.

that's why this is a turn my brain off and enjoy it for what it is game. Cause yeah my first time while I don't give a fuck about my MC's in these games the choices did feel odd or confusing at times

No excessive dialogue that doesn't lead anywhere for updates, even when there are no sex scene with characters further talking with them reveal what can happen in the future, even then it's not blue balls waste of time and the scenes we get with every update are plentiful for me at least. I don't know in next or one of the future updates there's gonna be poker night, thompson gonna get her holes filled and dean is probably finally gonna be dicked as well (one on the characters i wanna see get more attention), not to mention Devon's future scene/s if you talked to Will in cinema. Definitely not a game for vanilla crowd, but for netorase/swinging fans there is a lot to look forward to.

Is there any way to open all the Scenes? If you play from a save, all the previous ones are locked again ...
