My comment is more from the basis of what we lost freedom wise. The initial story pointed to the fake goals the team had, which had a LOT of potential to let the MC just travel to different planets and fuck anything he wanted to, or didn't want to. Even a hunt for the crystals allows that (Which might still happen). But the story just changed in a big way to the MC and crew being on the run from one of the most powerful forces in the galaxy because they know too much, and while they have allies in several places that still seems like a heavy thing to deal with. Finding time to fuck random aliens while presumably being labeled as criminals seems more difficult. Not impossible to set the mood or anything, just harder to keep swapping the mindset.If you watch the fake ending, I think it shows that Cryoxx has left themselves a good amount of space. Like, there's two stories happening that are kinda independent but interweave at points. Both stories have to be resolved, and both are far reaching.
I do think a good story is what makes a porn game great and this has one, perhaps I am just frustrated with the somewhat sudden swap and will enjoy the changes more as they play out. If nothing else we now have a wider variety of crew mates for the main character to have relations with (as well as no reason to keep Pip locked up), and even that offers lots of opportunity for sexual escapades during the lengthy time traveling planet to planet.
The other part of the story, the unknown, feels like something to just play out later and will be a way to give the story direction as it nears an ending.
There is only good story telling here so far and I have truly LOVED the journey. So I know the developer will continue to deliver amazing content from art to writing and I am excited to watch it play out.
