The bunny outfit you can get either as a gift from Robert, if you stay on his path long enough or alternatively you can buy it at the sex/tattoo shop.
Man that luxury boutique came out of seemingly no where. I wasn't expecting it during my first playthrough and when it was introduced thought I would have a bit more time to purchase something from there. Turns out... Nope. I'm just poor, unless you're on the Seymour route, or never send money to your parents (you monster)
Yeah this crushed all hopes of any potential of a friendship. I think Eva decided to just simplify the story and have Axel be the antagonist for Ian no matter what
Yup, Lena's budget is very unbalanced. After being fired from the restaurant there simply is not enough money available. She earns 2 Money from the Cafe (if you decided to help Molly and Ed) but has to spend 3 Money (+1 if you want to help your parents). Even with Stalkfap you still can't really buy much. I only had money to buy 1 outfit and 2 sex toys (dildo and collar). And that leaves you with 2 money which you need for rent. Lena really needs to look for a second gig ASAP especially if she's not doing stalkfap (or it has been unsuccessful) otherwise she'll just never be able to buy anything.
The I've been doing Lena's finances is as you've said, but also going to Seymour's photoshoot. At the chapter 9 special contract I add the extra clause and refuse the vibrator bit. You still get paid, but I wonder what consequences that might bring later.
I think this is good storytelling. Lena's finances if you side with Seymour and go into Stalkfap big time are amazing. She is overflowing with money. However if you try to walk the path of opposing Seymour he uses his influence to try to ruin you financially like cutting off your modeling gigs and your life drawing events and kicked out of the restaurant if you are still there by that point. The gameplay and the narrative are tied together into a cohesive whole.
I had an idea that if this is Eva's original plan. Lena is in a difficult financial situation due to sick parents, low-paid work. Plus, girls have needs and are very costly.
I wouldn't call Lena's choices a 'corruption' at all. In GGGB, yeah, there was a real corruption. Compared to mugging. selling drugs, Tyrone's pool party and Arthur's quest, Lena sleeping with manager to keep a job and making erotic photos for rich old man is nothing.
dude this game is half way done eva cant give everything away so fast I am 100% sure there will be way more corruption and options even if in a relationship with cindy,alison,holly,lena,gillian... but this need build up I am pretty sure the things that you expect will probably happen between cheapter 15-20.
The cheating from Lena is absolutely corruption. Seymour's route can be corruption if Lena is dating Ian, otherwise it depends if you see being blackmailed as Lena being corrupt, maybe it depends if she begins to enjoy it. If she's into Seymour from the start maybe it's not corruption, but if she reluctantly agrees to it then I guess it counts. GGGB was all about corruption tho it literally says in the title.
When it's ready obviously
Lena is not as shy and prude as basic Ashley, but it's still corruption. At the moment it's a lighter version than GGGB, but we've only covered half of the game. Stalkfap, cheating, sex with everything that moves, become Axel's slave again or go under a perverted oligarch, as for me, this fits the definition of corruption.
Considering some of your other posts, this view does not surprise me in the least, still it is black and white on several points, when the world is shades of grey. While cheating or going back to an asshole like Axel most definitely is corrupt or self-forgetting, your other points are very much a choice of what you do and not corrupt on their own.
