I wouldn't worry about doing a walkthrough yourself. Either a fan will make one, or, even better, somebody will throw together a mod that adds hints to each choices about their future impact (e.g. "no affect", "Susan won't like", etc.).

I'd suggest an in-game hints system about the less-obvious impact of choices (e.g. doing the crazy tattoed girl doesn't seem like a dark choice until after the choice), but that's quite a bit of work that could be better spent on other things everybody can enjoy.

Nah, a walkthrough is always the best solution.
There is only one game I encountered so far which has a true, proper in-game walkthrough: Ecchi sensei. Other games most of the times provide foggy, unclear hints or just a list of actions to do (e.g. go here, talk to x, etc).

Most walkthroughs ARE just a list of actions to do ("choose ..."). Ecchi Sensei is indeed one of the best in-game hint systems I've encountered. Other good ones just list the stat impacts of a choice, or whether it's considered nice/selfish. And those are a lot of work, and only a few people need them. Remember, dev's only have a limited amount of time and effort they're willing and able to put into a project, so making a walkthrough means fewer scenes and dialogue.

not entirely sure how it works, but clearly documenting/commenting your code for modders to make their own walkthroughs/guided tours can take considerably less work. (and quite possibly, reduce your own headaches while backtracking if needed.)

One thing I'm personally up for is assisting with a walkthrough... if someone wanted to make a "fan-walkthrough" and was willing to keep up with it/keep it spoiler free. However, I'm currently working on an "Official Walkthrough." It's going to take time as it's not a priority/the game is designed/best experienced for players to choose what they *want* rather than what they think is *best...* but, I definitely understand why some people want one, and I'm enjoying making it.

Just an update to that, though... I wouldn't count on it being released before Chapter 3.

That's my point, what is better to depict a list of actions, if not a simple pdf file? (the very best choice would be an embedded walkthrough inside the game, but most of the times it is not worth the effort).

A dev is supposedly well aware of the implications of any particular choice in their own game. Making a walkthrough shouldn't take more than half a day, at most.
If you want to add some useless embellishment on the pdf such as pictures, colored text and background images that would obviously require more time, but then again it's totally not worth it.

I'd point out as far as incest goes, we dont know if MC has family or not. But the 2 "main girls" in this have daughters, so the incest might be between them not MC and his family.

Before downloading: If you've already played Chapter 2, please note that this is just a QoL/bugfix update. You do not need to download v0.2.2 if you've already played Chapter 2, v0.2 or v0.2.1!

Had been looking forward to this one since 0.1 dropped last month and Dammed did not let me down.
Quality and quantity in this update with the story advancing well and the addition of a lot of new potential LIs.

More time and fun with Naomi and her daughter Mel from 0.1 and also got to meet the 2nd 'Main Dame' Lyanna and her hot daughter Kayla too. Add to that the school principal Cheryl, Detective McHottie TM macinblack , Mels flirty best friend Lucia, Fufu the sexy troglodyte and the knowledge that soon the MC will be teaching martial arts to a class from an all girls school and I already find myself dreaming of a harem of ecchi senseian proportions.

Sure hope my MC didn't accidentally get that reporter from 0.1 or anyone else pregnant. Would hate for that to happen :oops:

Keep up the great work Sir Dammed , looking forward to 0.3 already but for now you can take the rest of the weekend off. (y)

Also the game: *Right off the bat push you into a sex scene with no choices

You have a choice, you can either cum inside or not. Its probably going to be quite important.
