Just finished the game and the ending was great, I don't know why people are complaining about it.
I guess it was about the part where John knocked out the MC? But I mean who cares? John went away(possibly to prison though it's not clarified). And the MC ended up in a happily ever after scenario with Nicole and Eve. There was also Tommy's mom addicted to hard drugs and Tommy is missing...presumably dead. RIP Tommy. Is that why people are upset? Because of the whole Tommy situation? I think that can be avoided entirely if you don't sell him hard drugs but I haven't verified.
The dissatisfaction with the ending mainly stems from four aspects:
1.
Disruption of narrative pacing: The plot development before Chapter 7 emphasized slow, meticulous progression. It took the MC five chapters to develop a sexual relationship with Nicole. However, Nicole's abrupt transition from rape victim to complete psychological breakdown and submission to the MC (if he survives) within just two chapters feels rushed, spanning only 3-4 days in the game's timeline. This drastic shift clashes with the previously established gradual character development.
2. Unrealistic character resolution: As a 37-year-old mature woman with a history of prolonged infidelity, Nicole's complete mental collapse and resignation after being caught in an affair with her stepson by her husband lacks narrative plausibility. The story fails to provide sufficient foreshadowing or psychological groundwork to justify such extreme character regression, especially given her established personality traits.
3.
Wasted narrative potential: The abrupt conclusion sacrifices numerous subplots and potential main story expansions, including:
- Aunt Eve's possible involvement in Nicole's "training" after her own entanglement with the MC
- Potential conflict between Lopez (Nicole's original affair partner) and the MC over Nicole's allegiance
- Unexplored development opportunities with Tommy's mother and Sheila's subplots, which could have intersected with the main storyline to enable a harem ending
4.
Incomplete character development: The narrative critically neglects key aspects of Nicole's"training". Beyond the absence of her substantive resistance to the MC's abusive behavior, even basic sexual indoctrination elements remain unexplored – including potential development of exhibitionism, anal fixation, creampie preferences, and other fetishistic dimensions that could have been organically incorporated into her character progression.
The current ending truncates these narrative threads that had been carefully established throughout the game, leaving players with unresolved arcs and diminished payoff for their investment in the story's world-building.
