I played versione 0.45 first, and loved it. Some things were poorly made, but overall a very interesting game.
This 0.8 version has all the sex stuff of the previous one (except for Iris, but there are more characters now so still a nice tradeoff) but the story is not as good. The gnolls are not there anymore, at least for now, and demons were replaced by vampires somehow. The tower of the archmage is poorly introduced, you can just go there at one point during the Immortal quest, but none ever talked about It beforehand. The two star exam is better in this version and the fact that Yarizo is accessible only later is also a better choice, but i think that the there star exam should feature the labirinth and the demon like the vx ace game version. A proper introduction of the there sages Is needed before they just appear to explain to you that the new character should not be able to become pregnant, an information that is not needed and not requested at the moment.
Also if you play as the priestess you still get the "oh btw I fucked with x men" dialogue even if it is not true at all, and she is all over the place mentally, because why do you fear so much to fall for yariso if you have permission to fuck anyone you wanted from your husband to make him happy?
For the user above me: if you ready carefully the mission you Need to Explore the Woods on the left, each time you find a path you unlock another, start by doing the mission from the camp first.
