Doug never told her to act provocatively towards his friends. He asks her to dress more attractively; be atrophy wife. He never asked her to allow herself to be groped, playing it off as a prank, he never asked her to get fingered by Bruce and he never asked her to take her close off for Erick. She chose to do all of those things then she manipulated and gaslighted Doug into accepting them. Doug also didn't ask her to repeatedly scream Bruce's name while having sex with him. Doug never had any real power, so his approval was meaningless. The alternative to him approving is that she would cheat anyway. The blue path was tainted from the start, so NTS was never possible. Furthermore Doug never maintains his status as Raffa's primary love interest. This is confirmed when Raffa confesses her obsession of Bruce to Doug and tells him that she's only jealous of Stacy with Bruce, but not with Doug. That is NTR.I think it's also an NTS game. After all, it was Doug's idea for Raffaela to behave provocatively towards Bruce and the others. When she then takes things further on her own initiative, Doug discovers that he finds it exciting. They agree between themselves that only they know about it. And that it's okay with Doug for the others to think that Raffaela is cheating on him. And in the Blue Path, Doug can stop Raffaela if things go too far. Raffaela recounts what happens in detail. For example, in the shower scene in the Blue Path, she says that Bruce asks if she wants to join him. And then you can decide whether to go or not. If she goes, she recounts what happened in the shower.
On the red path, things are different. Raffaela doesn't tell you that Bruce is in the shower and she just leaves. While as a player you get the impression that they had sex in the shower, you only find out indirectly that this wasn't the case.
I think the real problem is that the scenes on the blue and red paths don't differ much from each other. It's only the text that differs between the passages. I would like to see more variation so that they are more clearly distinguished from each other. Because it's true that in some sections it makes no difference whether you choose the blue or red path. Only the narrative structure changes. Because even in the red path, Doug thinks what happens is hot. The Jacuzzi scene is a good example. It happens either way, with the only difference being at the end. Namely, on the blue path, she wants to tell what happened and go into detail. Whereas on the red path, she just lies down in bed exhausted and doesn't want to talk about anything.
But I think we have to be fair to the developer. Creating extra scenes is time-consuming. And we can't expect him to be making a game for us 24/7. That's why I personally think it's okay that the main differences between the blue and red paths are more in the text than in the scenes. Although, of course, there are other scenes on the blue path as well.
