in fact I think there is a good chance that Ian will fuck MC's mother, especially following a more perverted route, like treating Rosalind like a piece of meat, we always see scenes of MC's mother being fucked in his porn, this happened in the last scene of this route in the recent update.
I see those scenes more as a way of adding some internal conflict for the MC, not as a hint for whats to come. The MC seeing flashbacks of the porn videos his mother was in during situations with Rosalind seems to be showing the similarities between their situations, and maybe a bit of hypocrisy for the MC.
I would not be so sure about that, esp. on the more positive paths and with high bromance scores. Edwin knows(!) that Ian is different from his usual behaviour when it comes to Vicki. That something along those lines might be in the cards on some paths is hinted at with what happens when we as the MC push Ian towards some introspection and planning for the future.
There's a small smattering of femdom-ish vibes with Veronica and Kat (the most recent update featured a nice Amazon press), but probably not worth your time if that's your primary interest in the project.
Not true.
I wouldn't say there are wrong choices, but there are multiple possibilities, the walkthrough can be useful to find and get them.
AFAIK it was only set up a few weeks ago so it's unlikely to be for hookups given that she has been single for much longer. The context in which it was discussed with Edwin was related to her growing loneliness in part due to his absence.
Veronica declining during the call is kind of an unfortunate case of story clashing with game design. From a story perspective it's fine for Veronica to say no and later call back, but from a game perspective, it makes sense that players feel they messed up the route and ask for help when they don't get a positive response from her.
That depends...
Yes, but this way the player also experiences the same surprise the MC does. I guess a lot of people (myself included) are playing these games very "goal" oriented with a mod or a guide to see as much content as possible, so those get called out by this mood-swing from Veronica a bit. While people that just take the decisions because they seem to them to be the right one or because they roleplay the MC in a certain way, have more from a switch like this.Veronica declining during the call is kind of an unfortunate case of story clashing with game design.

This situation creates some confusion. Maybe something to keep in mind for future decisions in the game.
I recall 1 consensual mix (femdom and reverse) event with MC, plus 2 or 3 choice-based femdom on MC events so far. Fair amount of MC-dom, with a lot of it also being optional.
Not "necessary" to play, but necessary to ensure you don't miss the content you want as there are decisions at multiple points that trigger branching content paths. Like the recent update the MC can be with Veronica or Rosalind, but if you choose a specific dialogue choice with Veronica, Rosalind is blocked without warning.
Agreed. The structure of choices in VNs can often be very simplistic: players are often lead to rely on a sort of reward system, where every choice has an immediate consequence or reaction. In developer terms, a +1 on a variable, or a flag set (if you play with the aid of a tool like URM, you can even see this change before the choice is made, and act accordingly). This makes things easy to manage, both for players and authors... but it is utterly unrealistic.

I'll make a note about this. The next update is going to see some UI overhauls (like a more organized gallery, among other things), so I'll take a look into adding back some functionality that I haphazardly carved out.
sir, how dare you. I have been meta-gaming outcomes since I first played Do You Like Horny Bunnies 2 in 2007!I knew it would cause some people to second guess if they failed a point check or not, but I accepted it.
Or maybe even relished it a little bit.
Even if it's not the case with most players (just guessing), I like approaching the design of these things from the standpoint of someone engaging with the story honestly and just let the punches roll without trying to meta-game outcomes.
I'm not dismissing your criticism or anything. I appreciate you mentioning it, even. I think it's valid, especially as there are other examples in the story where similarly not-quite-forcasted choices have uncomfortably long-reaching results that are pretty fucking egregious. In my opinion, the game design of the project is indeed sorely lacking. I've made some errors on the back end that I wish I could take another stab at from a more seasoned perspective.
However, in this particular instance, I'm comfortable with the game side of things taking a backseat in favor of the characters.The way exhibition 2 got calculated over an entire week not so much.
