What is the deal with the dev? Is he still working on a new game?
The dev is slowly working on a new game that is set in the same universe. But, their free time to work on the game isn't what it was when they were working on this game.Hasn't posted on his patreon for 2 years, not sure if he is still alive...

Sounds like any day I have to get out of bed before noon.Me neither.

Did you ever think to keep playing? Maybe the point of the game is the MC starts out as a loser, but the events in the game change him, and you need to play to find out? Don't judge a book by its cover also applies to visual novels, too.I wanted to give this game an honest try, but getting disgusted in the first 5 minutes didn't help.
The MC coming across as being extremely introverted, I didn't mind. Him running to 'mommy' to whine about being unable to talk to girls, that raised an eyebrow. Not throwing 'Mrs. Sollain' out of his room, instead losing his virginity to an old, drunk woman. Nope.
There are limits to the level of pathos I think an MC can crawl back from.
That is very true.Did you ever think to keep playing? Maybe the point of the game is the MC starts out as a loser, but the events in the game change him, and you need to play to find out? Don't judge a book by its cover also applies to visual novels, too.
Alright, I'm considering playing some more. Though, please answer me this first; Does the MC, at any point, introspect about what happened with Sollain? I think introspection is needed for character growth, to frame why he's doing what he's doing. What lessons he's learned from past mistakes. If he even thinks Sollain was a mistake, which I hope he does.Did you ever think to keep playing?

I don't agree with "more often than not", the amount of AVN that had a wet-blanket MC at the start and end of it, is ridiculous. I love character growth in an AVN, most don't have it.That is very true.
The whole point of most of the visual novels is for characters to grow or change in some way.
At the start of the story the MC might be a weak character with tons of flaws.
But, by the end of the story, more often than not, they turn into Lance Goodthrust of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and then they ride off on the women, and live happily ever after...
This has always been a weird saying to me... If there are 1000 books to pick from, and you can't possibly read them all, why wouldn't you use the cover (specially the backside of it) to filter them?Don't judge a book by its cover also applies to visual novels, too.
I'm not saying that all of the games have character growth, but to be honest, the ones that I have read do.Alright, I'm considering playing some more.

From what people in another thread have said, I suspect I need the mindset of watching an R rated "Ernest Goes to College". I'm not sure if I'm able to distance myself from the MC that much, to laugh at him.

Character growth is about making bad choices and learning from them, the number of women he ends up boning isn't really a metric. So many MCs bone every woman and learn nothing.
Considering Sollain, I do not think he ever sees it really as a fault. On the other hand it is also not like she really has regrets about it. If remember right there is one later option for a repeat performance with her, but she is not a main target for MC. More something that happens, my reading was he and she wanted it both in a way as he had a slight crush on her and that was shared by her without wanting to take it into a relationship and she acted on it while felt bad for herself and had drunk one too many knowing he would leave soon and sets him on his way together with some machinations of his sister to believe more in himself. It is not like he took advantage of her, she knew what she did and he was not unwilling either. If anyone was taking advantage though it was her .Alright, I'm considering playing some more.

I'd even argue that I read the cover (the front page), then read the first few pages, and found it wanting.
But, like I said above, I am willing to give it another go.

Hold on, I did not badmouth the game. I did not leave a 1-star review after playing it for 5-10 minutes. If voicing an opinion/concern is badmouthing, then we might as well just close the discussion boards.Play it, or not, that is up to you, but you really should not badmouth games that you have not spent a reasonable amount of time on, because you may well have quit playing before the good stuff started to happen.
This is a false comparative. If, in Tom Clancy's book, in the first pages, the main character does something I find so apprehensive that it biases me against the MC, I would close the book. If there's a discussion board for this book, then I'd voice that opinion/concern there as well, to see what other people think. Where you seem to insinuate hate/bad intentions, I'm seeing the opportunity for discussion. To each their own, I guess.If you base your ideas of a good story off of the beginning, you might be someone who thinks that Tom Clancy sucks as an author, because he is notorious for a slow build up and progression of the story, until events start to snowball down the mountain over halfway through the book and then things get exciting.
I get what you are saying, but you will find on here that no one really cares if an individual did not like the story, especially a completed story as this is.Hold on, I did not badmouth the game.

During the scene, I did get the impression that the MC was just happy to 'get in there', which is what made me see him as pathetic (more so if the player resists peeking on the sister, showing some backbone). What Sollain did was self-serving, she makes this clear. She wanted to know she 'still had it'. So, you're right, it was her taking advantage of him, fueled by alcohol and lowered inhibitions. This is how I interpreted it as well, and why I wanted to be able to refuse her even more.Considering Sollain, I do not think he ever sees it really as a fault.

That's good to know, thank you!Later in game he does run into some consequences for actions if he thinks too much only of himself though and does grow some of that as well and takes responsibility for it, but yeah he does make a few mistakes.
That's fine. Those people can ignore my post and move on to something else. (See what I did there?I get what you are saying, but you will find on here that no one really cares if an individual did not like the story, especially a completed story as this is.
Thank you for your feedback, but the amount of constructive dialog in the past few posts makes me disagree with you.The following is just to show you what you can expect with future such comments in game threads, for similar comments.
You can expect people to reply with some really rude comments that essentially tell you that if you don't like it, go play another game, and stop whining about it.
Which is exactly what anyone should do, just go and find another game to play.
Part of your comment was a question, so I responded to that.
I have seen many people post responses to such complaints in the past, so all I am doing is to advise you that if you don't like a game, just move along and find another game.
