Been away from the Carnations awhile, as the wait for 4.5 was a gap as it was a huge update, so just got back w/4.6, and..
Am immediately reminded how insanely polished, insightful, and attentive the writing is: sick and twisted, for sure, but f'n BRILLIANT.
Again, it is clear the writer or writing team is actually 100% pro in general, and doesn't have to necessarily be writing a porn game, although it's probably more lucrative than other venues, at this point.
"Literati" keeps coming to mind with PC. For a fkn porn game. Ffs.
It helps that the visuals are so well in tune with the writing in most cases (despite a few cases where someone visually responds before they have lines for the response), that you can even get a show don't tell with the visuals in many cases: A WELL-PLANNED GAME.
Again, it is so difficult sometimes to have to choose between specific paths, because nearly every one of these women is someone you can empathize with (except Kathleen who needs to be permanently strapped in for unending use in a sex torture device) and who is just drop-dead gorgeous.
Allison is a freaking gem. Glad they added her. The rock gig scene bartender wasn't bad, either.
BTW, how exactly does one trigger the "Make a Move on Sad Lucy" sex scene? I tried changing around timing as to when I click on Lucy in the hall, and when I go to the housegirl dressing room relative to free roam, and I try all the options w/Lucy in various combos every time, and not a one of them leads to sex.
