Warning, wall 'o text ahead!
Since there seems to be several clever minds with their respective fingers on the pulse of the discord and/or game development: Is there any way/plan in the future to allow your secretary to turn up the aggro a bit?
What do I mean? For example, regarding the sultry scintillating red lingerie which the boss claims 'doesn't suit you at all, you should wear something in pink or in frills..'
The idle thought that leaps to my mind is *Bitch, you don't get to choose what I do and do not like to wear. If I'm gonna be stuck with this locomotion, I'm gonna look fucking FABULOUS. Choo, choo, motherfucker, fashion train ain't got no breaks*
Instead of the *flight* behavior approach for all the actions, where is the *fight*?
It doesn't necessarily have to be a full on DOM pc path, (and the game engine is built almost purely on you being on the bottom) but something with a little more backbone, a willful combination of voluntary/paid paths with a hefty slice of sauciness and sex sure would be keen. I mean, you burn willpower already to even *go* on the voluntary path, so what is one step more?
Parts of the game are almost written with a nod in that direction, the gentle strength and backing from your hairdresser friend as well as the populace of the store a owner if you venture out from the changing room in far more feminine attire, the acceptance from the coffee club residents-- but then the riding high of those events are brought low by resuming the *nuts in a jar simulator* day to day.
It's (the game) still a fantastic ride, well worth playing or even donating to here or there as it continues to grow and develop, I just can't help but look at it settling with the usual submissive, simpering (potential bimbo) paths and think--if I'm going to end up a beautiful, sexy bitch, why not take a look at this world at large and go in it to win it?
True, Antlers and the Company are stacked against you, but it's not all bad. There is a working wage, you have a amiable beefcake ally, a nerdy D&D aficionado fellow tech (with benefits and hopefully something more), *A D&D GROUP TO PLAY WITH* (sorry, it's just as you get older, a solid tabletop group to game with regularly, if at all becomes more precious than diamonds), numerous friends, a quirky and weirdly personable A.I., a lonely but well meaning old school contact back at the homestead, and your very own personal tentacle beast, Chuck the plant (spoilers?). There are an awful lot of actors and personalities that could aid in forging a considerably sturdier, tempered persona/personality.
And for the love of dog, if we have to be forced into the !@#@!ing cock cage scenario, can there at least be a way to steamline the process of unlocking and locking the damnable thing while changing your attire in one go? I get it, it's a parallel for how awkward and invasive the situation is, but after going through the circus getting it unlocked just to take remove it and put it back on the following day repeatedly checking out new or missed content, it gets old fast.
Also also, it feels to easy to accidentally slip from the paid path to the 'omg, I love pink frills' at the final split where your landowner can offer to do the tax fraud bit with the change of gender. I get attacked with the change of outfit before the groundskeep nearly every time.
Ciao.
