Love the game but I kinda wish the MC played a bigger part. Half the time it seems the plot happens whether he takes part in it or not. All the important things are being done behind the scenes and when the MC asks about it he gets the good old "I can't tell you now" or "you have to trust me" and the MC's just like "welp, ok" like an obedient puppy
I mean...right now his job is basically just to find out, what is and has happened in the first place and how or even if he can change something significant. So as of now the MC just can't have too much influence right now, since the overall story is still in a somewhat early stage.

No I appreciate that, my point is we're now 3 and a half years, six releases, into the game and the MC is still getting the old "you're going to have to trust me on this" and "I can't tell you yet" spiel from basically every character every time the plot is so much as hinted at. And he's just fine with it. I appreciate the need to keep the player in the dark for the purpose of narrative but the MC is basically a puppet and not once is given an option for him to tell whoever is speaking to go fuck themselves. There's a deviant mode but it seems to only be applicable for when the MC is giving someone a proper dicking.

You're 100% correct...Riley is the most annoying in this regard.

I want you to trust me...I need you to trust me...I'm being as honest as I can:

Install this phone app...what does it do? I can't tell you...
I found this crystal/gem...I can't tell you about that....

You know what Riles...just fuck off....

I think Riley is probably the most obvious example because she's the only person you've had an actual proper conversation with about everything that's going on. Everyone else either doesn't know (Darci/Janelle) or is actually on the other side and suspect things about you that you know (Scarlet) but like even the whole Skyler thing is peculiar. She goes missing for a spell, comes back, is sus as fuck about everything and the MC's just like "welp, anyway let's continue on as if nothing has happened and everything from the past few days and the reaction of your mother and everything is just all normal" Like bitch grow a spine and think about it. There's so many red flags there

I completely agree, it's the only thing in this VN I actually and actively dislike. The MC is a doormat (currently) and just letting the world revolve around him (and as much as I love Skylar...her whole scene just rubbed me wrong, almost as much as Riley's).

I'm sure there are story reasons for it....but given update length...it's painful to see at times and wait for him to be more pro-active. (I imagine this would be far less of an issue and obvious if play it again once completed).

Jestur posted something along the lines of "try waiting until you've seen her story in full before passing judgment" so there will for sure be some explanation if it's good or not we can only wait and see (I lean on the side of it will be good/justified) but that still didn't stop me from quickly doing a replay CTRL'ng through the game to not pursue Skylar at all :KEK:

I just recently discovered this AVN and it's truly great. The only thing that bothers me is that sometimes the hands on the girls are.....terrifying.

Well one of them needs alot of hand strength to become a helicopter lol :) You will see if you pick that path assuming you didn't finish the game already
