I don't want to tell the devs how to do their job, it's their game, they decide what they want to do with the story. But a lot of times I think devs add unnecessary villains. I don't think we need a bad guy in the game for it to be interesting. All the stuff that the mc is already dealing with is enough to make the game interesting, at least for me. I would rather see the mc developing the relationships with the girls than dealing with some dude just for the sake of drama.

I approve this message 110%

So is there enough content or should I wait more before playing?

First chapter has top notch story but not much lewd content.

Second chapter story quality and consistency has dropped significantly, while still being good for this site standard, but more lewd scenes got added.

Renders are awesome, the animation is good, dialogue is regular, and the game has already too much drama added, but is still above average in terms of this kind of games

Disappointing, for what, seven months of a wait. The story and structure seemed like a half baked follow up. Some things were creepy or unsettling. The new character who all of a sudden seems to hate you in the space of a few days in his beat up car and is really upset there are people in your house, all over the course of what, a day of them living there ?? The cop seems forced and mega weird taking pics of you for no good real reason. His granddad owned a pretty new mansion that you now live in and this is his main driving force. I don't know. Hope there is more to this story. What is he doing living in a rich neighbourhood if he is poor or so it seems, hope that is explained in future updates. No cop just takes your ID and you just hand it over in your driveway so he can take it to god knows do what with it or give the info to god knows who, he looks like he is not even on duty.

I will have to think about it, but it feels you got lost and did not really know where to take the story and you may have been surprised at how popular the game became and how it took off. The story already had a mother of the son you killed turn up the same time you take in your daughters. That was coincidence enough and stretched believability, now the next day a nut job cop upset you live in his grandfathers mansion turns up and is taking pics of you, seems you are just looking for too many layers at once.

This is a game I might actually have to update my review for and flesh it out. I reviewed it very positively and will probably have to play it the whole way through now again and just take it all in. But first impressions was this was a shakey second outing.

I agree...and I don't think it's even legal to ID people while off duty ( not from US...so correct me if I'm wrong)

Well, she didn't just "simply suggest" they meet sometime. Go through the park dialogue again, she's driving for it. I get that all your posts are in defense today, but this doesn't hold water at all. Makes the whole coffee shop dialogue very awkward at best. Here's her dialogue that in my opinion is not "simply suggesting" or otherwise nonchalant:

Well, in any case, I brought this up on Discord and SirD is going to fix the wording to make it more clear.

In general, I feel like villain-type characters who can hamper your good time with girls are a bad idea, no matter what. I might have felt differently if he was just some crotchety old perv, but instead he's a built middle-aged man and a cop, which means he can cause a lot more problems than just some some old letch would have.

Really? Bad russians already in porn? U.S. propaganda now every where? What wrong with you people? Is there some trouble with erection if you don't hear that all russians criminals?

Well, whatever language Natalie is using it's clearly not Russian, maybe Ukrainian, or some other Slavic language.
P.S. But yeah, purpose of our existence in western culture is to be bad or to be cranberry (you know...drinking vodka from ushanka while playing balalaika and riding bears)

So for Maddie & the "Harsh" response, the official walkthrough mentions that;

Now idk about you, but that's not exactly what I would call an intense scene
I feel cheated...

We are thinking pretty smilar here. I have never said ''DEV'S SHOULD MAKE THEIR GAMES WITH OUR IDEAS ONLY!'' but we are players, payers and gamers who use this product/game (etc.. whatever you want call) so he/she should listen his players aswell. And aside from that I'm %100 agree with you. I dont mind bad guys (Even i dont like when someone blackmail MC. I just dont like blacmailing concept except int was made by some grey personalized person) but right now we already have lots of problem in game, MC have lots of problem his plate and Glenn wasnt feel natural at all.

Now I played 0.2 I can say without hesitation that the plot is the weakest part of this game. The problem with bad plot is it breaks the suspension of disbelief.

some obvious issues:
1. who has 4 bedrooms in their house? what MC was even doing with three extra bed rooms as a single?
2. if you fall into coma and wake up ~15 years later you are not mentally adult, but in the game you are
3. your parents must have been super wealthy. not only they were able to afford your ~15 years hospital bill but leave you enough money to start a business, have a really luxurious car and buy a house (can any person really relate to MC?)
4. everyone thinks you are hot. literally everyone, even the milf whose son you killed. also one random waitress is willing to risk her job just to fuck you when you are on your date
5. your triplets all look different (asshole cop pointed this out nicely, perhabs their mom lied?) and act differently
6. did you know I am x years old? in this game you can custom age girls age, and in 0.2 their age is constantly brought up. so if your fetish is to have 14-18 years old daughters the game will keep bringing this up something like +10 times now.

If any developer is reading this I recommend you to keep working with game as it is and later after first "full" release fix these issues the best way you can. Otherwise this game is 9/10

Couple corrections.
1) when you have the money you buy a nice house, bedrooms dont matter, comfort and location do.
2) He was in the coma for 10 years and was 18 when it happened and has been awake for an additional 8, multiple times MC states he isnt fully matured/worked out everything so hes not acting like an adult but a 26yo in a 36yo body
3)They paid for 30 and left an inheritance but honestly how can anyone relate to most porn game MCs?
4)Cant argue this, its porn game logic, just go with it...
5)Triplets can have different Hair and eye color, its depends on the parents genetics, there is a term for it but im too lazy to research it, also triplets/twins typically have differing personalities, they are not clones..
6)didnt really notice this so didnt bother me really

I completely agree with you, there can be flaws in games but this game actually does it's best to explain thins.
As to nr 5) It's called fraternal twins. Unlike identical twins, they did not come from one egg splitting into 3 babies, but 3 eggs getting fertalised. They are in essence 3 different childeren that happen to be concieved at the same time and, although rare, it is not impossible and has happened.

i think i'm dumb,
how does the second chapter begin to play?
I have started a new game and loaded saved games, but I finish chapter 1 and a message comes out telling me that I have reached the end of this build.

Thanks for help!

you are using outdated mods i suppose. a v 1.2 mod won't work on a v 2 game obviously (or apparently not so obviously as it may seem)

 

[GamerMcGameFace]

Love the update. Someone's probably going to call me an oversensitive snowflake, but I'm not crazy about MC’s racist comment about “Asian drivers”.

 

[Noni21]

Not a good update. I see where this is going. Add in 20 side characters and end on cliff hangers with any of the triplets, so you can milk the story for years. The standard for all games is to not have any sexual content besides maybe a HJ until at least 5 updates. So in literally 10 years when they are at version .10 there might finally be some progress with the "wards".

Yea I get your point and I agree. The update is not what we expected.

 

[Mpkstroff]

Honestly? I enjoyed the update, not as much as the first release tho. I would like to spend my time with the triplets, not with natalie or sleeping xP.
I like Brook, and maybe there are some things let to discover with her.
The waitress.. I dont even watch her scene, so I dont know how much the animatios has progressed in the game.
And it seems like with one playthrough you are good, because I dont see many differences with the choices, aside from stats points.
Characters are beautiful, but I wanted to spend more wholesome time with the triplets... so it lets me with this feeling of... unfullfilingness? emptiness? at the end , but again, I enjoyed it, but not as much as I wanted.
Best of luck for the next update!!

 

[Squark ⚧❤️]

Love the update. Someone's probably going to call me an oversensitive snowflake, but I'm not crazy about MC’s racist comment about “Asian drivers”.

In the country I live, we're convinced one county is filled with nothing but terrible drivers.
Even so, I don't think the MC's personal opinion mirrors the devs' own. I don't think you should worry.

 

[Squark ⚧❤️]

I see. As the first update took about six months, you automatically assume every subsequent update also will.
Am I really the only one that sees the flaw in such statements?

Aren't they working on other games separately also?
Cause if they are then ...yes it's a possibility that next update will take some time.
If they aren't or aren't anymore...than ya next update will probably hit the shelf in 2 months or so

 

[Joyce Harding]

What I do hope is that the relationships between main character and his daughters are natural and not rushed. But in this last update it's already started a bit too quick to me. I was surprised by the make out scene with Liv, it just feels too soon to me but that's my opinion. I hate the fact that there's a dark route to me it doesn't fit the story. Thank God the women are all skippable and not forced so that's a plus. I just want more progress and scenes with the girls, specifically learning more about them. This was still a good update in my opinion.

 

[Joyce Harding]

This. I'd be OK if it were just a sideplot with a prick neighbor, but come on. Random dude in a beach shirt blocking me in demanding my documents, or else? I'll take "or else", while calling the police and informing them about a twat posing as an officer. Illegal surveilance, too... I don't mind a "conflict in a sideplot" somewhere, but this feels like conflict for the sake of conflict, into which we're being railroaded. I don't know a single person who in that wouldn't go "Haha fuck off dude". And unfortunately it feels like this will be a big thing, considering that that's the note the epsiode ended on.

Plus seriously, always with the stereotypical bad man. Wouldn't it be cooler if the neighbor was, say, actually an upstanding guy with an asshole police officer wife?

it just wasn't a good scene at all.
