Goddamn this game never ceases to make me laugh. Am a huge tennis fan and those Serena William insults during one of the scenes nearly made me fell off my chair :LUL:

Only thing I could recomend t oincrease replayabilty is for branching paths that allow for wrong choices to play out.
This is impossible. I tried to write a VN once and due to one of the choices I put in early on, one of the branches split off into something that didn't have anything to do with the main plot anymore. So, that means they're not writing one story, but several at once. We wouldn't be at chapter 8, we'd be still be at chapter 3, option 5, because you'd have branch upon branch upon branch. Any game that offers a choice, gives a choice that doesn't impact the main story (and if it does, it only applies to the ending). And I'm not even talking about VN's but story driven triple A games as well.

Also, what do you expect to happen on a bad ending? Hunter isn't going to stay there once he achieved his goals. He'll either move or the story will turn into a real downer, because Sterling isn't some oblivious cuck where the girls are fucked behind his back. Hunter will make sure he knows it. So, letting the bad endings run out serves no purpose.

I mean, I understand what you're saying, but you want too much. It just can't be done.

The only thing I don't like about the game is that all of the story beats have to be played out according to a canonical narrative. All of the characters have to be pursued to progress at all. If the player could choose not to puruse some characters and then have the story change to allow the MC to have to deal with having realtionships with some of them while Hunter/Kevin/ Derek achieves their goals with the others. This may increase the conflict within the story and allow for a wider audience appeal into other niche fetishes.

The artist is the artist though, just making a comment. Tell your story!
Meh, I'd prefer it if PV's development continued on its current road. As it is, PV has already built a strong fanbase and more branching paths would mean more time spent on extra things that was not a part of dev's plan.

The issue is the relationship events build the story. Let's say I gave the option to avoid any amount of love interests, then there would be hundreds of thousands of variations of the story. A playthrough where you simply chose to ignore Brenna would be wildly different. No Onlyfans story, no Eva, it would affect every storyline more and more each chapter. Then you have to factor in all of the potential combinations of pursued or not plus whether Hunter has gotten to them and I can guarantee I'd be dead before I could finish writing a tenth of story. It doesn't work in a game like this where every event eventually dovetails into one story.

So I skimmed this game my first playthrough but enjoyed some of the dialogue so decided to replay it with my full attention. I feel like all the time spent waiting for renders must be the dev trying to string together as many witticisms as they can. Every other line has some kind of wordplay. Or deep cut references haha

That aside I don't have a lot to say. Probably all been said before. It's fun, I like all the characters most of the time, the girls are hot, and the renders are gorgeous (I don't know Daz, but are reflections always that detailed? Is this ray-traced? Goddamn.) Not much more I could possibly ask for.

Weirdly this is the one game that the redhead isn't my favourite character. Catherine's fine, but I either love or hate her in scenes. She feels like that one character that gets away scott-free for all their negative traits. Every other character has had some kind of consequence but so far the worst is that she's in a relationship with her friend, but that's offset by immediately getting with her "true love". She's the only character who feels like she never had any development. Brenna has slowly had some of her ice chip away, Ophelia's become more open and less prudish, Catherine feels fairly static from part 1 through 8.

Brenna probably got the most development, which is fine because she might be my favourite. As a side character I really like Eva and almost wish she was a frontrunner. Her conniving to help Sterling (and her) get off is pretty charming. Like the most casual girlfriend. Hell, I like em all.

The main plot being an inversion of the typical "I drug my housemates and bang them all" with Hunter doing that, and you accidentally (or intentionally) reaping the benefits is pretty fun. I came to check and see if the dev was on Patreon because of how deeply coded into the plot the family aspect was. I didn't even realize I had a patch in and when I read the unpatched version's dialogue... lmao

It tries.

I say "I don't have a lot to say" then drop paragraphs. I just have a lot of thoughts (most of them positive). I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Especially seeing a hint at a Mallory and Eva scene. Wew.

Fantasy thinking though: If you had a team of several dozen people working with you and a budget in six or seven figure range could you see it as a possibilty? Don't have to reply.
If there was 37 of me with millions in backing we'd still have to rewrite everything from the ground up so that could work. But with that much support we could also put out an update of the game as it is now every five days. I'd imagine most would take the latter.

This game is really funny, Sterling Jr might be the greatest yet horrific thing I've seen.
easily my favorite of the mini bad ends. that and because we got to actually see two pregnant figures lol.

Hey Guys !! It's my first message here, I know the question has often been asked, but I'm trying things right now in Daz studio and I'm trying to do Brenna, and it's hard to find the 6 models that compose her. Does anyone have an idea ? Tell me if it's inappropriate to ask and sorry for my english, I'm french (y)

Hello. How much of futa/trans stuffs are in this game? Since there is a tag.
The tag is there because one of the characters plays a game that features a futa. For the moment, no one is futa/trans (though it could be a set up for Drew, we don't know anything about him yet).

WINDOWS/LINUX
There is no Linux version, it doesn't contains any `lib/*linux`directories.

In order to fix it you have to download Renpy distribution and replace lib/ directory as well as add executable `renpy.sh` bootstrap script

Bash:
# download and extract compressed Window's version
$ cd /path/to/PowerVacuum
# download and extract Renpy SDK tar.bz2
$ rm -r renpy
$ cp -r /path/to/renpy-sdk/renpy .  # fix renpy distro
$ cp -r /path/to/renpy-sdk/lib/linux* lib/  # add missed libraries
$ cp /path/to/renpy-sdk/renpy.sh PowerVacuum.sh  # fix naming bootstrap script
$ mv lib/linux-x86_64/{renpy,PowerVacuum}  # fix naming executable
$ ./PowerVacuum.sh  # run and enjoy

Just run in the game directory. Sometimes it may look like it's frozen, just wait it out, it'll get it done (or has for me so far).
