Decided to finally give the game a try, and as much I love the story, like several others here, there are some issues I have with the way the dev has chosen to tell his story. I get the not so subtle attempts by the dev to focus on the 'free-love' and constant reminders that 'love has no boundaries', clearly the dev has in mind an agenda in terms of being free to explore all kinks/fetishes/desires without shame or judgement... which sounds fine in theory, but there are definite lines/boundaries I would prefer not be crossed.
I'm quite amazed by the sheer amount of lesbian sex in this game. I didn't have a problem with it as I found it very hot and passionate, I just wished the MC's consorts were a little more discerning with whom they choose to have sex with. Despite the irony of Karen being teased by Allie for having a 'girlfriend', she quickly falls head over heels in love with the MC, and it's clearly a more serious/intense soulmate kind of love as compared to Cleo who while she is her best friend/lover, its not the same. While Karen never hid or apologized for her bisexuality, other than Cleo, she only seemed interested in being with the rest of her family, i.e., her mother/aunt, and I did not have a problem with any of it. Likewise, I never had a problem with Jena considering she is a succubus and she needs that sexual energy to feed, despite how much sex she has, I never doubt her love for the MC ever.
Now we come to the girls I do have problems with, firstly Demi, I get how sexually frustrated she is at first....or so she says while lusting after her own son, yet we soon see her engage in a train of nonstop lesbian sex literally with everyone and anyone! I mean, c'mon.... its hot sure, but seriously.... does she not have a modicum of self-restraint? This is the downside of an open-relationship for me, because while I like polyamory relationships, I prefer them to be closed, or at least with people who wish to be a part of the relationship and are equally attracted to everyone else in the relationship and not just one person. I hated how quickly she jumped into bed with the cop or any other woman she came into contact with at random.
Lastly, I hated what happened to my sweet Allie. She started off so naïve and innocent...with the MC taking great pains to go slowly with her and I loved the pace at which their relationship progressed. Unfortunately IMHO, the MC undid everything by telling her to feel free to have fun and dominate others at school.
Ugh!! I loathe who she has allowed herself to become! She has seemingly not wasted any time assembling her own lesbian harem, I was fine initially if she just took Kimi as a lover, but the extent to where she has turned all her friends and fellow cheerleaders into her own personal harem is such a turn off for me now. Gone is the love and devotion she used to have for her brother now that she is up to eyes in pussy, even Cherrie at least remembered and missed the MC enough to call him and ask if he could come by and spend time with just her. I even hated how Allie did not even ask her brother if he wanted to be a part of the group sex 'girls night' orgy and instead, went from greeting him to insisting he strip in front of everyone so they can start the orgy.
Instead of choosing to explore her sexuality with her family, or even just between her and Kimi and maybe another friend she has expanded that to her cheerleading coach and whoever else strikes her fancy.... again I feel conflicted as the sex scenes are hot, but emotionally, its just too empty and hollow for me.
In spite of everything, I still like the story and will keep playing despite how much of slut both Demi and Allie are. If nothing else, I just want my old Allie back and not this promiscuous slut that took her place.
