On the topic of MC's attractive/addictive powers, I'm sure it'll come up at some point and MC might have some internal turmoil where he wonders if the LIs like him for who he is or just his powers.

The impression I got is more like it's just a general attraction and lowering of sexual inhibitions. It probably makes it easier for him to sexually attract people. But I very much doubt it'll cause any sort of long-term romantic or love feelings.

So most likely he'll conclude it's really not that different than being inherently handsome or good in bed, but on a supernatural level. It can help with that initial attraction and getting people in bed for casual sex, but not have much affect on deeper relationships (outside of perhaps the sex itself).

This would be a good moment for the script, to make MC think and doubt and put the player in an uncomfortable position with it.

I know what you mean but she did say it felt more like she was drunk or high, said it didn't feel orgasmic.

And so either, other girls don't know what an orgasm feels like, Evelyn is already very addicted to MC which is dampening Anthony's power (imo this one, but I only played one path), or she's lying to MC. Also, MC experiences it while being hosted by Marina and doesn't mention anything about it not being orgasmic. Dev can clarify in a future update if they really want, but iirc at least two girls compare it to an orgasm. And I'm hoping the lack of a choice is because it's actually needed for the story, i.e., Evelyn being hosted by Anthony yields something actually useful and not bullshit.

I'd say Evelyn is a pretty good source of truth on the matter of orgasms. She knows what her own orgasms feel like.. She knows what other girls' orgasms feel like, and she knows what guys orgasms feel like. If she says it's not an orgasm, then I'd go with her point of view. She's kind of an expert. Seriously, should could probably make a career out of sex counseling given how much she probably knows.

The MC's only experience privy to what a girl feels is a bit skewed because his only experience is through Marina's visit to magic finger boy. He hasn't experienced a girls sensations during an actual sexual event.

Finally, the other girls calling it an orgasm aren't acting like they had an orgasm.. They're acting like they're shitfaced drunk or tripping on drugs. So IMO, the characters calling it an orgasm seem more like they're using the term as a misnomer to describe how mindblowing the feeling is.

To add to this, heroin and some other drugs are almost identical in the effect on the brain to an orgasm, and many users describe the intravenous heroin rush as like a "heightened orgasm". Since his power is essentially akin to an instant drug hit to the brain, it's really not surprising that some people describe it as being like an orgasm too. But I think most people wouldn't describe having someone inject heroin into your arm vein as sexual.

It's not been specifically mentioned in game yet, but it's been mentioned in the Discord that Anthony's power affects people differently, essentially with slightly different drug-like effects. Ruth was staring at her hands like some people on hallucinogenics (shrooms for example), Evelyn just got drunk and felt like partying, Moonsong got high and had the munchies, etc. If you're observant and know the effects of some drugs, it's possible to already notice this. Evelyn was simply the first in their group to notice that her effect didn't really feel like an orgasm.

In reality, Anthony is more of a drug dealer than a ho, and I'm sure that'll become increasingly clear as they investigate more.

Yeah that's how I see him. He definitely got the "drug dealer" power :ROFLMAO:

Interesting, was there any discussion as to the addiction potential? E.g., some harder drugs create physical addiction while others just create psychological ones. Wondering if MC gets that power how it will interact with or maybe augment his native power.

A bit of discussion, yeah. Remember in the most recent chapter, Evelyn specifically says she doesn't want MC to get the power because she doesn't want to be high all day every day from fucking MC. A few other comments were also made along those lines or about potential addiction by a few other girls. I suspect we'll learn more soon from investigations.

It's certainly possibly he provides sex services too to those that ask/pay for it. Some girls are mentioned to want his touch right on their pussy or asshole after all. Wouldn't surprise me if some essentially have drug sex after that touch, perhaps getting additional "hits".

Something I wonder about Anthony is how much of a handle on his power he has. Like can he even turn it off? That's got to be tough to carry on normal relationships when a mere touch gets someone high. Or on the other end of the spectrum, what if he can learn to control exactly which euphoric effect he bestowes.
