Tried to check in the thread but I don't think it was asked/answered, also not sure if the dev is here or not but I'll ask anyway.
I saw that this is not a harem game, is it possible to romance everyone if I want to or I'll have to choose an LI before the end and thus miss scenes with other LIs?
Basically I don't replay games, so if this game has a lot of branching and makes me miss a lot of content I rather not try it out.
Thanks and good luck to the dev!

This is how to kill your game without even trying, but it's also appreciated and goes to the ignored ones

I wouldn't say being a non harem kills a game there are some non harems that are doing well. It just means you have less of an audience as it does seem people like me who prefers solo paths are a miniority compared to harem players.
Thanks! I really like the developing plot so far and the girls are gorgeous. Hoping for some Angela renders

I don't agree about minority, I think the usual crowd is just less loud and less demanding compared to harem-fanbase in general, so it gives such an impression.
Also in my opinion - actually majority of the most popular and succesfull games here are non-harems. Mostly - it's a matter of game's quality in general. (we can argue about definition of popularity of course- it's subjective)
Even if we talk about thread-activity - there are quite a few non-harems here that are much more popular than any harem ones.

depends of the game, as a big harem fan im more and more annoyed by these avns and writing in them - especially forced lesbian shit that ruin any real connection between MC and girl - where LIs have feelings for MC but in the meantime they also fucking or lusting after other females. Harem avns these days is a joke
monogamous avns are better done, in most of them i played girl belong to MC and only MC.. and that's what i love, no fucking sharing

How slow of a slow burn are we talking here? I've lost a lot of patience for games that take 1+ years to get the action. Too many games get abandoned or end up having shit scenes after long waits. How about making one or two the main girls be dtf quickly so we get a good balance of content?
Well, I think one issue with non-harem games is that there is a tendency of the dev to design them in a way that you have to replay the whole game multiple times. This is a specific time-waster like sandboxes that were tools to make a game seem longer without actually having content and story that would justify the length. Those are old tools that were find at the time, but are like using a dial up modem to download content when we have fiber.
I haven't seen many games on here that were monogamous but didn't throw a host of LIs your way and expect you to replay the exact same story over and over again just to see some scene variation.

I 1/2 disagree with them being a time waster. Since you can ctrl skip through the scenes you have seen before that doesn't usually take long. Also usually their routes are different where you get different scenes. Yeah some scenes or dialogue are gonna be the same with different variations but not all. Now if the ctrl skip was never a feature yeah I agree cause it would be like replaying any RPG while you ultimately will see different choices or can play with a different build most of the game is the same and you have to get through it just to see different scenes and outcomes.

Sometimes, while playing/reading AVNs, i'm asking myself
"If this would not be towards Harem, which LI would i marry right now... and which would i (not even kindly) show where the door is?"
In this case its far too early for every kind of discussion why or why not.
We know nearly nothing yet...
Personally... i already am opposed to seeing Blondie as MCs LI.
Somehow her Story reeks of "she has a lot to do with why MC left town, she knows things but had them kept hidden. and NOW her past catches up to her" ... and she gets ashamed and afraid and as a result things get even more messy (Redhead and her Badboy get involved, Badboy and MC have a past too... even more mess).
So... why should i see Blondie as MCs Girlfriend or even as a Part of MCs Harem?
It doesnt make sense for now.
Lets give Dev some time to continue his vision as he is seeing it...
Maybe later some tags are added or removed, we dont know yet.

Well, ctrl skip through almost the exact same story is pointless when I could just unlock the gallery and see the scenes. The dev would need to have a branching story-line that has compelling content to justify playing through it again. Usually that is a lot of code and images that expand the scope of the project quite a bit. Unless they are a big dev with a lot of support, they won't have the time/inclination to flesh each path out. There are exceptions to that rule, however, but as usual they prove it.
Usually, RPG games have a lot of time taken up with fighting and gathering mechanics that engage the player while being repetitive somewhat. There isn't usually enough engaging content in AVNs that would mirror what is found in a typical RPG.

yeah, agree on that, forced FF is one of the reasons why I prefer to not play harems, I think some Devs just try to justify harem by turning all girls into BIs or this way they introduce 3somes or whatever, sure, why write a coherent story if you can use simple-porn-logic(
another reason (main one) - for me it's hard to take story and LI as a character seriously in harems, one moment she is all caring, loving, jealous and another moment she is like "oh, you wanna fuck other women?- sure, go ahead" or she does it by herself. It doesn't feel like she is really genuine in her feelings. I do play harems from time to time of course but mostly for fun and almost never feel any romantic emotions during playthrough.

Maybe it was just me, but for the first 3-5 minutes of the game I was very confused and lost about the story. The conversations keep talking about needing to go home to deal with "something" and every NPC talks like I know exactly what's going on. I personally try not to "meta" these games, and walk in cold knowing as little as possible... probably my love of RPG games and storytelling.
When I then show up at the house the MC needs to be optimistic or pessimistic in reply to Angela yet I still don't understand what's going on. At that point, the only things I knew was: 1) there was an issue; 2) Rosie wants to go to college; 3) something about 'Dad... no her Dad...'; and 4) that she bore the brunt of "Dad", whomever he belongs to.
Perhaps a bit of detail earlier on might help, even if somewhat vague? I certainly had my thoughts as to what was going on, but it made it trickier to decide what to say just guessing.
Just my two cents. Aside from personal thought, definitely a great start.
