I'm so confused, is the Nina-Sofia romance conflict meant to happen as a part of the game because no matter what I do the game somehow always ends up forcing me into Nina's path. I chose every option to not end up in a relationship with her, didn't use sight or pheromone control, refused sex in the forest, even cheered and talked to Maxine instead of her and I still somehow always end up in her route. Like what's going on here, this is an extremely punishing non harem game built like a harem game.
Recently the "completely not harem game" got a "110% harem route and harem conversion to the whole game" and some users suspect several flags are set incorrectly. Others are over the moon that this changed happened.
There is an ambush of most girls that basically accuse MC of being unfaithful to them even if the MC barely talked to those girls.
I myself am rather convinced this update will turn out to be a fever dream and MC wakes up in the infirmary after a blow to the head. Maybe it was the shock of seeing Anne and MC fainted or something.
Reasons I believe that are:
#1 The harem tag is missing in the searchable tag list on top
AND in the official tags in the genre spoiler even a week after the update
#2 Instead of a harem tag there is a humor tag.
#3 The developer did not say anything definitive about harem at all. Neither here nor on discord.
#4 Instead it was previously established that this game will feature not a harem but a "throuple" at max.
Basically as of the current state of affairs:
Yes the conflict is set to happen and yes it is serious enough to be completely ignored by the game.
