This is excatly how i feel about the game. Things should compound but rarely do. The game is basically the same experience for 30 chapters, which is a very long time. The NTS sucks bc of everyone complaining and the dev cant do anything except recycling the same stuff because it has been working for the most people. I do feel bad for the dev - its a tough spot to be in. If i was him i would just start ending the game and start a new project where he does what he wants.Just the phrase 'added some kinks' is indicative of what's wrong with the community sentiment and often the writing. As if all that you need to do is trot out a token kink one at a time and then check it off the list. Tara nudes? Check. Creampie? Check. Threesome? Check.
In a more believable NTS story, the female character would start to have compounding experiences where each time escalates the tension and moves along her sluttiness. Here what we have is: something new- reset the neutral- something new- reset to neutral-ect. I think perhaps the author has taken steps to remedy this in the Oliver episode, but seeing the community whining over every decision made there, and the following update, I'm not super hopeful this will move in a satisfying direction.
