I know this is kind of a stupid question, but I can't really keep playing as Dual protags. It gives me whiplash and takes me right out of the game. Also find pretty much all the dudes' kind of douchey.
Will there ever be the option to just play as one MC or the other through the entire game? Technically this game is much improved over GGGB, but as I put myself in the place of the MC, and am not gender fluid, it's really frustrating for me.
The gender swapping prevents me from really connecting to any of the characters.
Even if the option has to wait until the game is complete, was just wondering if it would ever be possible. I want to enjoy this game, I really do. :cry:

I don't think it's possible. The core mechanic of the game and story base on dual protag.
As of douchey dudes, you can sleep only with Ian, if it's bother you.

If it makes things easier for you, pretend that you're playing as a single protagonist Lola, the All-Seeing and All-Knowing Cat, sent there by the Goddess herself (Eva) to guide Ian and Lena on their path of happiness (or destruction). And playing as Lola, it's only natural that your bond with Lena makes you care so much more about her. But Ian is still Lena's other spiritual half, can't really ditch him or skip his scenes and hope that everything still makes sense. His actions will impact Lena, and Lena's actions will impact Ian. They tell a single story. It was never meant as the "Pick your character" type of game.

Just returned to the game after the last time I played which was like a year ago. Pleasantly surprised with everything so far!

That said, I keep having issues with Louise's sprite. The error says as follows:

While loading <'Image' u'louise.webp'>:
Exception: Could not load image u'louise.webp': error('Unsupported image format',)

Did you start a new save from the beginning? It's recommended you do that.

Thanks for the advice, but that's not how my brain works. I blame Autism, but I need structure, and I'm not a schizoid. Also, hard to play as two halves, when you hate one half.
It's fine, you can't make a game that will work for everyone. I'll wait for the next one. I will always have GGGB. :cry:
Nice job on the lewd scenes though, they are much improved. (y)

Ian, but I don't like any of the guys in the game much at all. I loved the F/F content in GGGB, and the fact that there could be more than one main LI for that path was also amazing. Did the Daddy/Daughter path also because it was very well written, but for the most part, I loved the game because I could pretty much ignore the dudes, and still have a great time. Also loved Jasmin. :love:
