Dark Path is sadist/masochist content... e.g. spanking, belting, humiliation, etc... but also incorporated into the story. Not everyone will understand it ofc but it's a well known sexual fetish, hence games like Raptus, not to mention all the spanking and belting/hanging porn all over the web.

Also from my experience which I have a bit of, the "normal VN approach" is illusion of choice, at best, linear at worst. To some this isnt a bad thing, but having choices is preferred by a great many. I think your preference here is pretty niche... hence the less popular nature of linear games.
Please don't patronize me...
I know what it is...

I'm questioning why it's even there to begin with. The dark path makes hardly any sense within the context of the game and the MC acts like a psychopath.

Also please don't kid yourself.
The illusion of choice is is the same with the three types of choices in this AVN as in every other out there.

Whoa there champ, I wasn't patronizing you/there's no need to get confrontational. You said you don't understand it, I took that at face value and tried to explain it. Not everyone can easily wrap their head around the existence of BDSM or sadomasochism in porn or erotic stories.

You meet your daughters and then you abuse them? Why?
Content. As for story reasons... I think that's pretty obvious but I'll avoid the explanation as to not sound patronizing. Instead I'll bounce a question off of you: why does anyone abuse anyone? We're you expecting a good, sound, reasoned explanation for this?

Also please don't kid yourself.

I've played countless games, and there's very few I can personally think of that offer choices which change the way girls respond or behave, the type of content you can see or experience, and flavor text/monologue. If you believe this is still "illusion of choice" then you have a very different definition of what the word "choice" means than any I can find that are defined in the English language.

The vast majority of games with Renpy style "choice" menus offer two varieties: skip the thing or don't. When I bring up illusion of choice I meant this. Off the top of my head, and this is with playing a couple hundred or so "non-linear" AVNs... there's only a dozen or so that offer more than that, and they're generally very popular.

If the dark path doesn't make sense to you then I guess the other paths won't make sense to you either, I mean it doesn't make much sense for a father to want to fuck his daughters does it?

anyone know if harem is a tag? I see it listed above page 1, but not listed in the tags box. Also, Sancho, stop chatting here and work on LOF :)

If you're referring to what's under the Genre section on the OP, that's generally what is put on a game at initial release. I'm pretty sure they get updated sometimes, but by and large I don't generally notice those keeping current as later releases come. From the game overview, "Radiant is an 'cest harem game", so this definitely has that option. However, normally a game is only tagged with current content, not with planned content. Not a single girl knows the MC is potentially getting intimate with / dating others, so I don't think the tag should be applied right now. But it for sure will have harem as an option.

I only ever playd the very first release. Guess i have another game to play now.
Oh man, Leap of Faith is..... probably my second favorite AVN (behind Love of Magic) and it is easily my favorite on the writing portion. Also, bring a box of Kleenex for CH6 (and NOT for lewd reasons! Seriously don't play it if you are depressed).
