My impression is less that the dev is angling for a "slow burn" game as much as a game of contrasts. The main dynamic seems to be frying Riko's shy brain by going from cute SoL and seemingly innocent things and then turning them very kinky and sexual with a touch of nonsense.I think the problem is that the dev is clearly trying to do a slow burn game which is good but if he followed through on such a thing it would mean the game would be without sex scenes for a while which is bad because the players wouldn't know what sort of quality to expect from sex scenes. I remember Lessons in Love tried to avoid this by having a dream scene right at the start of the game and the dev could have done this but he seemingly opted for a voyeur/bss scene.
I like when games pace sex and romance well especially when they put effort into their scenes and poses but with speed this game gets updated and the amount of content in each update it does seem like a game you'll have to check out once a year to have any sizable amount of content and progress in relationships. I'm also curious about the dev's plans because I believe he said he wrote the entire story ahead of time so I wonder how he planned to pace it or did he maybe not expect updates to take so long.
This kind of setup to the scenes is thematically cohesive with the whole "futa loli" aesthetics because part of the appeal of that is the sheer shock of going from "aww look at this adorable cute girl" to "my god she has a huge cock".
My prediction is that in the early parts of the story, the cute SoL stuff will be used to build up the familial bonds of Riko with the rest of the family while the sexual stuff will be a bit of an "open-secret" tease, basically Riko is too shy to ever bring it up, the girls won't tell him directly because they don't want to freak him out and it is better to let him figure things out at his own pace.
Then the turning point of the story will be when the cute SoL stuff culminates on Riko really feeling welcomed and like "part of the family" with his "older sisters" and then the sexual stuff advances with Riko coming to terms with the fact that the family he is now a part of is indeed a very loving one, but also they are all very kinky in different ways and nothing is stopping the incest shenanigans.
Onori playing with Riko in the river was half an ambush to get him naked, and then she spent half their playtime teasing him until she got to grope his butt and they both got hard and then she measured dicks with him.pretty much my reaction, don't really mind if the girls hook up with each other but going from onori and MC playing in the river or eri playing video games naked to Yui straight up doing the deed with her little sister in the middle of the night is some massive whiplash
I still defend my point that the "whiplash" is half of the kink the dev is going for, but I think there are plenty of hints in the game that the characters are very much into sex, they just don't want to freak Riko out.
