I pretty sure she wasn't going to be released -- at least not so soon -- without Moonsong requesting a reprieve based on cooperation. She specifically says she feels the woman deserved a second chance, implying she's helping to give her one.

I understand that, but my point was more that she was going to be stuck in her cell for a lot longer if Moonsong hadn't come up with a reason to give her the opportunity to trade the cell for house arrest.

She was going to be released anyway, Moonsong just tricks her into believing that fucking the MC will help. If the MC calls her on it, Moonsong will admit as much.

As for the "overabundance" of references, that was set up with the visit to the studio. Yes, it was over-the-top in this update, but it's an established part of the world, and maybe there's a reason it was given so much emphasis this time around.

The only actual cameo I know was Jenny from Office Perks (speedster maid), and she was the type of cameo you normally see -- one that doesn't intrude on the story and is just an easter egg for those that recognize the character.

The fact that there was one like this, and all the overt references that we KNOW are from other games because of the set-up in the studio office, does make me wonder if there's a larger point to be made, or if Jdor is just amusing himself.

You guys are entitled to your opinions and no opinion is wrong. But I disagree with you. I always like when I see other AVNs mentioned in a game. I liked the convo between MC and Ruth when they were mentioned. The games mentioned are simply games/devs he has respect for and he wanted to pay homage to them.

As a general rule I don't mind a dev giving a friendly nod to another dev or game that they appreciate either. A culture of mutual acknowledgement is a fine thing. Here it just becomes so heavy-handed that it gets in the way of the story (to me, of course; as you say tastes differ).

I'm shit at faces and generally don't recognize characters from one game to another, so didn't notice the Office Perks cameo you mention.

Eternum & Come Home were literally mentioned by name.
I had no clue what Come home even was tbh, but given Eternum gets mentioned first (iirc), and Desert Stalker gets implicitly referred (with the whole "Apocalyptic Egypt" description lol), I had a strong suspicion Come Home was gonna be another AVN.

Oh yeah, Eternum, didn't know that one either. It reminded me of some crypto scam or other but I must've been thinking of a couple of other fellows.

You're right on all points, including the point that at a certain point I switched off and started thinking about things. What's coming in EP 8, 9, 10, etc.? Which events will the MC and Evelyn maneuver into? Do I want to go down that path? I've come to the conclusion that the event MC, Evelyn, Anna, and Arwen is the beginning of a path I don't want to go down. It's not MC's or Evelyn's decision, but mine.

What path? I'm extremely skeptical that decision has any kind of game ramifications of locking you into things, aside from maybe future interactions with Anna and Arwen. If you don't want anything more to do with them then by all means, but if you think this starts Evelyn down some kind of "path" then I can only say you're overthinking it.

Also, how does that scene reduce her to a "sexual object of desire and used"? How are you using her? It's not like her participation is necessary or provides some kind of benefit. Anna and the MC having sex was not contingent on Evelyn having sex with Arwen. That's something Arwen proposes because she wants to have sex with Evelyn, and Evelyn doesn't accept because it helps the MC or something, but because she genuinely wants to have sex with Arwen (and Anna).
All of this is basically one giant gift to Evelyn, and it's really weird that you're turning this into something immoral.

You have a choice as to whether or not Ev goes with Arwen. I played both paths because I tested it but Ev doesn't go with Arwen on my canon playthrough.

Yea in the dialogue alone its apparent that While she was hesitant at first, it wasnt because she didnt want to but because it was a new experience for her and she didnt know if she was doing it either for the MC, OR because she wanted to. Later on its even stated that she very much enjoyed it and that she was basically happy she did it. Its pretty much implied, and stated that her reluctance wasnt because she didnt want to BUT because 1. Shes in the home of 2 big name celebrities and 2. They were actually open to sleep with her and the mc, which OF COURSE to have your idol basically say they find you attractive and would love to sleep with you would make her super nervous let alone because shes meeting her idols. Even during it the mc fully stated "im not going to give you permission if its something you want to do then do it" (tho i might be mixing up the words but thats what it basically meant).

NGL, while everyone was freaking out over the (not)NTR in chapter 6, I was quiet about the lack of story or character progression so as not to pile on, but this is the second episode in a row where I've felt like nothing happens outside of lewds and setting them up.

I was particularly bored by the content of episode 7. It feels like things are going nowhere. I think I'm going to switch to checking in every other year or something, because chapter-by-chapter consumption isn't doing it for me right now.

I agree, I would like to see a little bit of the main story in each update.

Ah, yes. Thanks for the reminder. I forgot about her in the detention cells during C3. The Anna projection afterwards must have brainwashed my memory...
If BW is really going to get a profile then a breakout seems likely. She seems too insane for any cooperation compared to Isabella.
We'll see in five, ten or fifteen fucking months then... zzZZz

there are two other female characters scarlet shadow and other one older woman also "mysterious" that is shown i cant find that scene i think she is villain or thieve or something like that and she knew about mc powers my guess is that she is MC aunt and scarlet shadow is his cousin :D (scarlet is shown at end of chapter 2 climbing to apartment via balcony and then laying naked on bed and at end of chapter 3 she sneek to mc room)

Wait guys, if there is no guide or WT-mod, how do you play this game? How to understand where is the best choice to score the maximum number of points or not to miss a scene?

And how did it happen that not a single moderator took on this game? After all, it is quite popular and has a high rating...

There are no real 'points' needed. Choices directly affect the story after they are made, usually as a "either this or that" type scenario, depending on the situation.
