Pretty sure dev said that what ifs are on-hold until main story is finished.
so does the game have a walkthrough at all also i hope that this guide gets update and help everyone out

The game is very linear, there are not even any influencing choices other than whether to get the bad endings or not, because this is a Kinetic novel.

There is a hint system built into the game. It will tell you when and where to go.
There's a bunch of stuff that annoys me about the game, although overall I think it's worth playing and I appreciate the Fans Of This Game(tm) will ignore any criticism and deflect, it's whatever. My opinion if you're interested:
The dev blatantly didn't plan out the characters arcs (in terms of how many chapters until X), because it's an enormous, drawling slow burn for multiple chapters, the plot only really picks up from the point where Sterling reads his dad's diary (which is an exposition dump about 3 characters we don't really know at that point) and then accelerates to warp speed by the end. I completely agree with the guy saying he needed to put more "day to day" scenes in, not just keep the plot moving faster and faster as, frankly, he can't keep up with the pace.
It's a rush job at the end-game, he's trying to do way too much in too short a time frame. Despite waiting a year for an update, and with such a big update, everything feels like it needs more time to breathe. I'll cover the character arcs/flops now:
- Catherine is a complete waste of potential. You had... wait for it... a redhead teenage girl. Great start. But wait! She's an insane cartoon character bouncing off the walls. She's comic relief. She's such comic relief that she can't actually star in a proper sex scene. The sex Olympics was silly/funny, not sexy. She's too much, it spoils the vibe. He needs to seriously reign this dumb behaviour in and make her act like a real person for five seconds, or re-write previous content, so it can get to the point she's a desirable character who can do porn not nonsense.
- Ophelia is great as always but we have no time with her. This sucks. For the love of God put more "mom and son sneak around the house fucking" scenes, why wouldn't you do this, why would you immediately get bored with this after years of buildup? Such a shame.
- Suddenly we have a mass orgy with the Asian family (and hilariously the writer needs to bring in the 3rd sister who we haven't even seen up until now because fuck it, we're ending this arc now dammit). It was ok. Again, rushed, a shame.
- Drew is a fairly pointless character. He's not a proper antagonist like Hunter (seriously, what impact has Drew had on the household? He literally sits in his room screwing the redhead). He appears to be an insert for gay/trap/futa lovers. That's it. You could get rid of all of that and it wouldn't really matter to the story. In retrospect the whole Keira/Nora/Drew/Lucia stuff is just... padding. I would have preferred some scenes where Drew actually tries to make a move on the girls, or Sterling, or something. Is Sterling going to fuck Drew? Probably not I guess.
- The scene between Brenna and what's-her-name, the psycho redhead was really jarring. It literally came out of nowhere that "girl that Drew is fucking" becomes "super psycho villain" and is... what... anally raped by Brenna... with a strap-on... then leaves and never returns. This is... such a weird scene. It might have worked better with some sort of build-up or context with, I don't know, Sterling sleeping with her, or seeing her getting to first base with Catherine.
- Keira/Nora becoming turbo-sluts in the space of a week. It's ridiculous. It doesn't even work in the context of "muh drugs" - one minute they're having incest threesomes with Hunter, then it's 15 years in isolation in Canada, then they're normal around Sterling, then they have no interest in Drew or Hunter, but immediately go to orgies with Sterling, then reveal they've been 69-ing in their Nunavit log cabin for the last decade. Ok. I wish he'd taken one chapter to introduce them and have some build-up or tension, maybe have them tempted back into slut-dom by Hunter/Drew, then a chapter where Sterling wins them over, then a final chapter to wrap it all up.
- The dog stuff is hilarious and can stay, I don't find it hot but whatever.
- The Flora / Ophelia stuff is hot. Anything with Flora and Tefnut is great. More of this please.
In closing I think a post-game patch / mod that would improve this a lot would be to allow the player to visit the different characters over the course of the day and (depending on the chapter) view general non-plot scenes with them. Why can't we simply go to Brenna's room and have the choice of sex scenes with her? Why not have a bunch of options with Ophelia? It would just be simple shots/animations and some sex dialogue to fap to. It would be a lot easier to produce than a What If or a new chapter, but would really flesh out the gameplay more and give more to work with, not lock everything into plot scene plot scene plot scene end.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll all hate this but wanted to throw it out there. There's an awful lot good about this game, it's a great game, that's what motivates me to write a critique. It's fixable - WWG if you read this just pause on writing chapter 13 buddy and flesh out what you already have with the optional scenes. And take your time with closing off the main plot. If we can wait six episodes to get to the point of an Ophelia blowjob we can enjoy another couple chapters with some general sex scenes, outfit changes, going on a date or alternate location, etc.

I agree with this, in Ch12 I truly felt overwhelmed by the pacing, It felt like it was escalating floor by floor linearly to just end up skipping 5 floors in Ch12, It's hot, but it doesnt really make sense, the one on one scenes with Ophelia were crucially lacking leaping into crazy threesomes while skipping any attempt on escalation which was present throughout all previous chapters, and Catherine was skipped on altogether, Keira and Nora was hot but the dynamic was weird and really rushed, Boner Olympics felt like it shouldve been more but was stopped before a threesome, basically every second sex scene was the exact same missionary position animation sequence and the family's reaction to Hunter's confession at the end was really...... dull (for a lack of a better word), yeah it was fine but it couldve been so much more...
I really liked this one in the first few chapters but then it derailed so fast. I might be the only one but man those anime face exaggerations during intercourse are so awful and look so out of place. Playing through this I started to lose interest around chapter 9-10 maybe even earlier. Don't get me started on that old guy but at least he has some "comedic" effect with his dick but it's not a pretty sight however. One thing though the grandma introduced later was pretty nice but again, I hate those face expressions so much that it ruins everything.
There is another thing I recognize a lot of these models from other games. These vn creators, what kind of program/tools are they using because you often see same scenery, models etc across a lot of them(unless they're 2d graphics). Might be time to make my own vn which would be completely unhinged.

I'm sure the dev had a framework he was following, but over the course of years I'd expect him to have new ideas and make some changes. Isn't that par for the course when releasing a project like this in increments (compared to revising drafts of a novel and only releasing the final version)?
I do agree that things are moving very fast these past few chapters. It seems that with each new chapter the dev is trying to outdo the one before (like each time Hugh Jackman gets in shape to play Wolverine). Add in the plot about the main character basically becoming a sex god and the endgame was bound to get crazy.
But I agree, a slightly slower pace probably would've been better for this chapter. I wonder if the dev is trying to wrap the story up sooner so he can move onto another project?
I'll admit that I don't find Catherine particularly sexy, and yet I like her character because of the silliness. There's more than enough other sexy characters, having one be a dingbat doesn't feel like a waste to me, it's variety.
Assuming you mean "alone time", and I agree. It was pretty shocking how fast everyone found out about Ophelia and Sterling, although many characters already knew before this chapter (Lucia, Aliza, Kumiko, Catherine, Hunter, Drew, probably Mallory). I guess Brenna was the main one that still didn't know? Regardless, Ophelia didn't know that so many people knew, so Sterling could've played along with hiding a bit longer.
I saw this more as a testament to Sterling approaching his sex god final form. The fact that he could have sex with women he barely just met is part of the fantasy. They don't all need long subplots of getting to know them.
It's possible Drew isn't really an antagonist at all but she is important to the story. We still have to find out about David's supposed affair (and death). A character can still be important even without a ton of scenes (e.g. Colonel Jessup from A Few Good Men). I'm not a fan of futa and yet I find myself liking Drew (as a character) more each chapter.
I agree, I thought for sure Sterling was going to fuck Eileen. He might not have done it as part of Brenna's revenge, not after what she pulled with the hotel girl, but they were clearly down to fuck. Quite a surprise to get rid of her so fast.
I should point out that Keira and Nora were getting railed by Drew for 6 years, and also by Hunter for the last 2 of those years. They're cock addicts and Sterling caused them to relapse. That said, I thought there would be a little more of a chase before Sterling got to bang them. I have suspicions that there's more to their story than we currently know, however.
I'm not a dog person either.
I like Tiff well enough, but I'm a big fan of Flora and I've enjoyed all the scenes involving her.
Those are fun ideas.
Also fun ideas.

I agree dev could add some post game replayable sex scenes around the house. There were some repeatable scenes with Eva too as far I remember. This could make the sandbox system worth more than just for triggering events.
Some points that were on my mind
1) Why is ntr so popular : the reason why ntr is so popular in this game imo has something to do with how these scenes are written in comparison with the vanilla ones. The ntr scenes are all about passion with the guy/dog getting a prize he's been pursuong for a long time and the girl getting more pleasure than Sterling ever gave them and asking for more (ouch). Meanwhile the vanilla scenes half of the time are about comedy and the characters sharing spirited remarks. There are exceptions and these are amazing scenes (brenna and sterling's first time vaginal, a lot of scenes with ophelia, aliza and others) but the ntr ones are consistently more intense so they are easier to enjoy imo.
2) what is wrong with the way ntr is done.
NTR is supposed to hurt. Its part of the kink. At the same time there is something unfair central to the game about knowing that Sterling is the worst male at sex that the girls can have access to in this game. They only stay with sterling because he stops them from trying out the other options. Proof is, all the bad ends lead to the girls falling in love more intensely than they ever did with sterling the minute they get fucked and dropping sterling completly (ophelia's scene with kevin is the epytome of that). I don't buy the "Sterling is better in the end because he doesn't need drugs" because he does. None of his progress (except with eva) would have been possible if not for hunter making the women horny all the time and then leaving them alone next to sterling. Lots of scaling up scenes of sterling (if not all of them from like chapter 7 onwards) happen either thanks to the wine or the ventilation drug. Even sterling's physique is thanks to hunter's hormones. And when he does have sex, well sterling isn't as good as either hunter, drew, kevin and god emperor cerberus. So for me at the center of the game is the reality that the MC really is only holding on thanks to luck and that the girls aren't really making a choice by staying with him as they don't have other options.
I say all of this while being an ntr enjoyer and long time fan of this game but for me these are real points that maybe would need improvement

I don’t know why you felt the need to bring this topic up, and elaborate deeply on it.
But this is what I say exactly to those who go by “there’s a deeper message to this conflict and it’s that being the non judgemental liberal considerate dude benefits you and those around you”, I remember arguing about this with the dev, it’s hypocritical, because it’s never hinted upon or foreshadowed, it’s just not there, the point is Sterling is a good person not because it benefits him to have sex with his family, but just because he loves them deeply even with all their problems and how they treat him, it has nothing to do with how he will get rewarded compared to the NTR villains, and it never will, if it didn’t happen in Ch12 with Nora and Keira it will never happen, and I get that, Sterling doesn’t give a flying fuck about pleasuring them more than they already have been pleasured he just can’t stand the idea of his family being exploited, and that’s what makes him so endearing to me.
Hey guys! What is the Last Chance for $20 supporters? Maybe I'll renovate my subscription if it is worth it, thanks in advance!

Last Chance - February Suggestions
With so many characters in Power Vacuum, it's easy for some to get lost in the mix. There's a lot of possible team-ups and interactions that there just wasn't time for. So, with Chapter 13 being the last full sized chapter(Chapter 14 will be an epilogue/endings), I've decided to let patrons choose which characters they'd like to see together.
How it works is as follows:
1. On the 1st of the month, I'll take suggestions on which two characters from Power Vacuum you'd like to see have content together. All you have to post is the names of the two characters. You may only make one suggestion per month!
2. On the 6th of the month, I'll take the top liked suggestion and my two favorites and make a poll with them.
3. The poll will be determined on the 11th when it closes. I will then create a scene/storyline to be included in Chapter 13 where those two characters have a lewd event together.
There is only one rule. With the exception of the main cast(MC, Ophelia, Brenna, Catherine), all other characters can only win once. So, if the first month is the pairing of Amber and Ophelia, then Amber can't be suggested again. I'll make sure to keep a list on all future Last Chance suggestion posts. Good luck!
hi.
Is there a way to download only Chapter 12?
I have the last update and I don't want to re download the full game (not enough internet).

The bad endings don't stick so we have to start over.
So the NTR is avoidable but does not stick.
So only good decisions no bad ones.
At least we get to see what the bad decisions are which I like better.
Too bad the bad decisions don't stick.

The only way to get Ch.12 on its own is to go back to the beta release. Use the f95 search function.
