Does anyone knowsGames with similar graphics pls
I see you already know about A House in the Rift, which like Pale Carnations, is created using Honey Select 1 with mods, so I assume that's what you mean by similar graphics. Unfortunately for you, you've already found the best-in-class. There's nothing better to look forward to, until GIL figures out how to surpass himself.

However, there are some extremely excellent runners up: particularly Ripples, Oppai Odyssey, and The Inn on my Honey Select 1 list, and of course Eternum which is on my Honey Select 2 list. I could be wrong about which version of Honey Select is used in some of the following cases, and if so, someone here will definitely correct me. There's more out there, but these are the ones that sprung to mind.

Honey Select 1:
Oppai Odyssey
Ripples
The Inn
A House in the Rift
Harem Hotel
The Anomalous Dr Vibes
Once in a Lifetime
The Arson Betrayal
Deviant Anomalies (listed as abandoned; hope not)
The Headmaster
Mythic Manor
Endowed
Hypnosis
Cabin by the Lake
Tomie Wanna Get Married
iNSight of you

Honey Select 2:
Eternum
Stray Incubus
Restore Her Career (didn't really like it, but it was able to do it's job ;))

Quite surprised by this list if it is accurate because with the exception of Eternum which looks beautiful, I think a lot of the HoneySelect 1 games look so much better than the HoneySelect 2 games.

I would expect HS2 to look a lot better considering it is more recent. I am assuming it is because more mods are available since HS1 has been around longer.

I'm not an expert, but that's the reason that I've read several times for HS1 games looking better than HS2.

...no time to replay dude...:(
Well in that case, if you want to race through the game the skip button works. Also if you right-click on the skip option on the quick menu, it skips to the next choice in the game. If you remember your choices at all, you can fly through all the old content in less than 15 minutes. If you have to stop and explore other paths to remember your choices, probably 25 minutes.

Keep in mind HoneySelect Studio (the poser) is just an add on for a h-game, and the impetus for HoneySelect 2 wasn't so much as "when can improve this" as much as "let's make a sequel to a popular title and make more money." The improvement between the two programs aren't night and day, although there is some. We went with HS1 at the time because it had a larger pool of assets to draw from, but in the three years since, that gap has shortened.

Basically, if you notice an HS1 game looking better than an HS2 game, it's a skill and care difference, just the same as how you might notice some HS1 games look better than some other HS1 games or Daz to Daz.

Very likely, if she becomes your girlfriend. While Hana is far from being a prude and rather experiment-happy, when it comes to relationships she wants some stability and commitment. No wonder if you remember what we learned about her growing up.

Yeah, Hana is way too ready to jump head first into a relationship with someone she just met a few weeks ago. Wonder how this will play out considering Edwin's current job at the Carnations brothel.
One of the reasons my Edwin choose to take things slow. :p

Most likely. If I remember correctly the devs said that you can pursue multiple relationships and you won't be punished, but eventually, at the end of the game you'll have to choose one girl, maybe the safest way to have both Hana and Mina is to have Hana as your fuck buddy and at the same time, help Mina with her list.

The problem with the fully committed "Hana's boyfriend" path is probably that you will miss tons of content. I mean you skip about half of the last update and probably most of the next 2 or so as well, since they are most likely mainly about doign stuff with the carnations outside of the club (first real hookup with Veronica and the date night with sugar mom Felicia).

Now about Felicia.

I wanted to respond to this for a while but I didn't have much time lately.

About Victoria, I'm not disputing her qualities as a mother or her love for Edwin. I'm just saying that it'd be a waste to not do anything more with her character after so much setup, especially since no other game has any similarly plotlines to Vicky's career without devolving into gratuitous incest plotline straight out of a cheap porno. I love this game precisely because it takes sadism, sexual degeneracy, porstitution and treats it with actual gravity. Those are real, fucked up, damaged human beings that unfortunately ended up es either predators or victims in the Club, and it remains to be seen where Edwin ends up.

My personal theory is that it Vicky's porn career wasn't nearly as necessary as Edwin thinks, and that Edwin's admiration of his mother "enduring" gangbangs and other acts is pure cope, simply because any other explanation would break poor Edwin even more. Notice that everytime a carnation appears to enjoy one sexual act or the other, Edwin rationalizes it as them putting on a brave face and going to their happy place, just like his mother did, because in his head it's impossible for a "good" girl to enjoy such acts. His mother being a degenerate slut instead of a martyr would shatter Edwins entire worldview, in which his mother is a beacon of light guiding him towards a righteous path.

Another interesting tidbit happens during Felicia's photoshoot, where Edwin can get angry over Felicia's cocky and dismissive approach towards the competition, because in his head she's spitting on everything his mother went through, and he basically hate fucks her until they're exhausted. It adds to my evidence about Edwin's cope, because of how angry he gets about Felicia's playful approach to the similar situation his "pure" mother went through.

Even during a good playthrough, Edwin is tormented by his sadistic tendencies, and how he enjoys putting the Carnations through the same hell his mother went through. The main fork in Edwin's path is wether he embraces his inner sadist, or if he finds a way to overcome his demons and "save" the carnations. Edwin's mother complex is the driving force of his character, and his character is far more damaged than he lets on.

As for Vicky sleeping with Ian, I just don't see that happening. Victoria is one of the few women Ian sees as a human being and is deeply ashamed about sexualizing her. It certainly helps that she's treated him more kindly than his own mother. Ian is also a much better friend than Edwin, because Mrs. Beaufort will most likely get dicked by Edwin before the story ends. Now, if Ian somehow found out that his precious Vicky used to bathe in cum for a living, there's no telling what effect that will have on him.

As for Felicia, I really like her as a character, but as a human being she's the least sympathetic out of the main girls. All her life she's been driven by greed and hedonism, and now that she's run into a problem that she can't fuck away or throw her husband's money at, she doesn't know what to do except getting back at her husband. I think she's found her consience too late, because giving up your indepence for a life of comfort is pathetic. She just found out that despite having a mansion, cars, parties, lovers galore, she can't actually do anything meaningful because she HAS nothing. I do kinda feel sory for her, but there are much worse fates than a lavish life and constant partying.
