You all take this porn-y pornVN's characters and their emotional state and reasoning way too seriously 
Fair enough.No I don't agree that Sterling did anything wrong at all in regards to Brenna or Lucia and while he took advantage of Catherine's naivity in some parts she's still the one who initiates everything. He just chooses not to shut her down.
EDITGood lord, you've been a treat, the arguments in this page about the story usually boiled down to two options:
The 'not even engaging with the story'= Why doesn't he just kill hunter? (cuz then there is no story)
And the 'why is this taking so long?'= Why is Sterling such a passive wimp? Why isn't he taking all the oportunities he's gotten to get with the girls/make oportunities himself?. Believe it or not the actual author answered this one...because that would be too rapey, the dev appears to have made a concious effort to try and make his MC a moral actor in this, or at least in comparison to other main characters in this kind of game, e.g. someone that would rape someone in their sleep or sneaking in drugs, so congrats on being the first to actually have moral questions over Sterling (there've been others but it was more, them trying to make the MC look bad cuz they were chomping at the bit for a Drew redemption arc).
Yeah, I did not blame him for this because it was pretty obvious it was the result of his being drugged. Again, the drugs really hijack the story so much it kinda pushes the characters to the background as you can hardly separate real feelings and behavior from drug-addled behavior.Now, I kinda agree that Sterling has been getting worse as of late, it's been a while since I played chapter 12 properly (like a year and a half) but I remember not liking how Sterling acted on this one in particular, he's been degrading yes, he's been getting WAY more agressive and quite the ego too (yeah dude, the reazon the paranoid squitzo that told you to your face that making out with you is akin to eating feces because you've rimmed women actually enjoyed making out with you... is because she actually has feelings for you that she hasn't recognice it yet, that has to be it).
But his behavior only got uncomfortable for me AFTER the scene of the drug that only affects males, and again, I can excuse it because of that but it is still uncomfortable.
I mean more in regards to a moral judgment from the author. Like your first point he's supposed to be a 'moral MC' in comparison at least, but, to me, I'm really stuck behind it being immoral to seduce people you know are being drugged... even if you didn't drug them.Also, you've said that the MC suffers no repercutions but all the girls in the house have clocked him at least once, Brenna got in a mean hook to his chin, Ophelia got a clean slap across the face, I don't remember any Cath retaliation but I mean she's the one that's been the closest to killing him (crushed by thighs...cool way to go tbh), even Lucia pushed him out of the bath to the floor... and in each of those ocations he said 'yeah, I deserve that', except on Ophelia's case and I was also pissed because of that one.
Agreed. Sterling is the only non-violent member of the family apparently.Also, Sorry dude but Brenna is a violent paranoid, yeah she does a lot of sweet things but those are inbetween thretening people and actually throwing hands, she literally trust no one and she makes it everyone's business.
Now just hold your horses a minute...I hardly see any vanilla faces here, the tiny few that are here, mostly cry about how WWG focus more on ntr
Bad ends have been in the game since chapter 1. There was never going to be an NTR route. A lot of people on here were throwing tantrum about NTR being included at all. WWG did a poll on patreon and most people voted to keep the bad ends.I could be misremembering this but he never planned for there to be ntr bad ends it was just going to be an ntr route and a vanilla route. He caught a bunch of flak for the ntr in the very beginning so he started to gravitate towards more vanilla focus and then he started to integrate the bad ends later on. Someone please correct me if i am wrong on this but that's what i remember picking up from reading the early thread discussions with him and players.
it should be name as "BAD ENDING" choices instead of naming it as NTRBad ends have been in the game since chapter 1. There was never going to be an NTR route.

To me its about the story linear in which is about the tag NTR is not in the story it self its true there is HUNTER but his just a clown figure to me whenever I read his story line but its really just a matter of bad endings whenever you choose HUNTER's path but it only leads to BAD END instead of continuation in the story progress in which I can say it's an NTR game but yeah ntr tag in this website are classified as 2 those have in the story progression or its in the BAD ENDING choicesNTR and Harem as twin genres are both weirdly interconnected but also extremely antithetical.
A game with both tags therefore falls into three categories ultimately:
A) Games like this one, where the game is a full harem but it has NTR bad endings, in which case the bad endings enhance the harem aspects of the game since you have to actually work to achieve it.
B) Netori Games, which are about a MC stealing someone else's woman.
C) NTR games who have a single Harem ending, usually featuring someone else mind you, or featuring an Harem Protagonist getting cucked (Especially if it's a fanfiction game).
Personally, I think as long as the game is blatantly clear about what it is about, people complaining about it is kinda pointless unless you have actual legit criticism about it rather than based on subjective porn taste.
Yeah but it's different in this case because PV is a game inspired by true eventsYou all take this porn-y pornVN's characters and their emotional state and reasoning way too seriously![]()
Everything is possible. There are people who say that small green people live somewhere. And two British ladies took a picture of the elves.Yeah but it's different in this case because PV is a game inspired by true eventsBrenna is out there somewhere i just know it
I'm starting to see a pattern here...I predicted a late November release last year. Now we're closer to this year's November than last's
Yeah it's all the fault of pinkie96, he shouldn't have made predictions...I'm starting to see a pattern here...
Stop making predictions, you're jinxing it!![]()
EDIT
If you saw my original response, I had a massive reading comprehension failure, sorry. If you did not see it then ignore this and continue assuming I am perfect. /EDIT
This is the main thought. It seemed that the MC was supposed to be a moral actor. And, to me, that is almost impossible if you're attempting to seduce them when you know they're being subjected to drugs. It just seems to completely nullify consent if people feel their brain is being "hijacked."
The rest of the discussion is just getting into the weeds of the specific instances, but that is at the core of the moral disagreement. It's the drugs and the deception about drugs. Everything else is pretty understandable human and immaturity flaws really. I mean who hasn't gotten a little handsy ahead of the whistle, right?
Yeah, I did not blame him for this because it was pretty obvious it was the result of his being drugged. Again, the drugs really hijack the story so much it kinda pushes the characters to the background as you can hardly separate real feelings and behavior from drug-addled behavior.
That's why it's such a curious plot device for a relationship narrative to me.

Agreed. Sterling is the only non-violent member of the family apparently.Brenna is a pitbull in protecting the family BUT seeing how each member actually force themselves on her more than twice and Brenna not only never retaliates but barely even gets mad at them makes Brenna definitely the "cool older sister" she tries to be. Ophelia picking her as the sole target for spanking when she can barely scold Catherine the rapist and Sterling the serial masturbator also shows she has more burden of responsibility.
It's not so much that she doesn't trust the family, but she does expect them to be idiots and get themselves into trouble, which consistently shows to be a good expectation. It probably increases her paranoia to outside threats, especially considering how often her paranoia about those threats prove accurate (Kevin, Eileen, Hunter, Sterling lying and failing to control himself).
"It's not paranoia if it's always right..."
So, not too surprising she doesn't trust anyone, including a woman that stalks her, plots to record her engaging in incest, and expose it to her just to see the look on her face for the ultimate kick. For me, she gets a pass for thinking that's a threat...
As extreme as the story can be, in that one case, if someone did something like that to me, I'd probably actually respond the same way.
You every time you make a prediction;I predicted a late November release last year. Now we're closer to this year's November than last's

Which moral conundrum and what is your opinion? The entire conversation for me started because people were saying that Sterling was supposed to be a moral actor and that the girls were wrong for the way they responded to him (at least Brenna and Ophelia). Being excused from moral responsibility (because of drugs) does not make the actions moral. And if it excuses immoral behavior entirely then the girls wouldn't be accountable for how they treat Sterling because they're not treating 'Sterling' but rather the monster the drugs turn Sterling into.Well, on that moral conondrum we'll never reach an agreement
The one who kept going when the other person said 'no'. Not being accountable for raping someone does not make the rape any less a rape. Not being able to control yourself does not make raping or murdering 'good things to do', it just potentially makes persons unaccountable.but do answer me these 2 questions:
When two black out drunks fuck each other, Who raped who?
If when you are drunk, you realize you're drunk, can you suddenly start walking straight and stop slurring your words?
True, that has been a point I've been making about the drugs hijacking the characters to the point the story is not about them but its about the drugs. You can't even say he actually loves his family either because... drugs. You can't say he actually loves Brenna romantically, because drugs and he in Ch 12 denies it by saying he was only doing it for OF because of money.... You can't say he actually doesn't like Hunter, because drugs. You can't say he even really wants to stop Hunter, because drugs. So you can't pick and choose the 'blackout' moments to say "this is the real Sterling and he's a moral actor and is in love with his family" the same way you can't say "this is the real Sterling who rapes his family, lies to them to manipulate them into having sex with him, and seduces them while being pretty certain someone is drugging them to turn them into sex slaves." All because drugs.Back on the 'we need to make Drew look like a victim' arc everyone put a lot of weight into Sterling knowing about the drugs and nobody answered that second question, my point being, ok Sterling knows of the drugs, does that mean he is not affected by them? Who knows by this point him not telling anyone could have been because of the drugs too and not a moral failing.
People were on his side to start the conversation. I just didn't see how they were saying his actions were moral and the girls were not. The argument your making doesn't make the actions moral, but yes it potentially makes him unaccountable... because drugs.AND thanks to you bad mouthing Sterling suddenly everyone is on his side again (thanks guys I'm not the only contrarian now), and now thanks to more arguments shown, I'm not even sure if he actually understands the extent of the problem, dumbass probably believes he ISN'T drugged because he is aware of Hunter and tries to remove the ones he's aware of, wich would make him think all the stupid horny choices he's made have actually been HIS idea, and in turn make it so that his choices are even worse. That scene on the pent house with Brenna drawing on his chest were probably the 2 only hours of lucidity that fucker has enjoyed in months.
Exactly. It appeases the conscience that your MC is going to do some messed up stuff because he's not in control of himself. It doesn't make the things the MC is doing morally good, or make the girls wrong for thinking the things he is doing are bad.And, why use drugs? Again, the dev actually answered that one already, because this was going to be about a NORMAL family (albeit a bit quirky) that ended up fucking each other and he found no believable way for a normal family to suddenly start fucking each other without a big nice push so hey, even if it's iffy it was that little 'for the story sake' actual suspencion of disbelief.
I honestly don't understand the huge kink about incest. It gets brainwashed into you mostly because it's scientifically bad. But it's not in and of itself some flagrantly immoral thing. I don't have something internally that tells me someone is my blood relative when it's also telling me that person is hot. It's just a rule like finding out someone is married. It's not like not being straight or not being gay which your body automatically tells you with feelings.He could use quarantine if he ever wants to try this formula again though... I've heard that the incest rates went through the roof because of the 2020 lockdowns.
This is what I was referring to in chapter 7:For one final point though, you said something very very wrong, you said that Brenna suspects Hunter... she doesn't, nobody does, THAT'S THE PROBLEM, that applies tenfold when you say that the threat is sexual in nature then not even actual paranoia would believe you. There was one person Sterling tried to warn Tiff, and she laughed to his face when Sterling called Hunter a 'threat', then she fell to the floor laughing when Sterling explained that she would end up fucking him if he got the chance, and can you blame her?
That's what makes it easier to believe the person would drug you. No one had any trouble believing a hideous person would use drugs to have sex with beautiful women, especially since no one in the family has any real barrier to incest.you're basically telling them that they'll end up finding what could be descrived as a walking malignant tumor alluring and irresistible, nobody believes you, everyone thinks you're deranged, THEN comes the drugs.
Again, that's not what happened.And you have already finished chapter 12 by now, you've seen that actually warning them, actually using evidence, appealing to their relationship ment squat... probably because they STILL wouldn't believe they would actually end up having sex with Hunter, that was Sterling's fear, that he would not be believed and that happened so 'it's not paranoia if it's right' huh.
You must be new around here... This is us when we're on our meds!The lack of content from this dev is making his fanbase going nuts
