I'm still playing, but, have to say, What an absolute unholy trainwreck this is. And that fucking untagged surprise NTR on top of it?(tag was missing on the first release when I played it, and also for a while on the "redux", the now new and improved; skippable and out of sight still in telling and mind style**) Jeez, almost like the dev wants this to flop.(Dev's got to decide; Either the game is NTR focused, or it is not. Cause as it is, even after the redux, it'll piss off BOTH camps. It's either NTR or Harem. Mixing those two is just asking for a major flame war**) I see no point in what little "build-up" there was with the step-sister with her jumping to "the new guy" almost right after being really -really- into the MC and vice versa. You know, like a couple!? Just why? Am I missing something, or was there several steps skipped between the two points? (Cause as far as I know, keeping the step-cest a fucking secret is a viable path, and also the sane and logical thing compared to this garbled context lacking mess. There are better ways to create drama for the sake of drama, even the betrayal kind, instead of misfit easy outs, especially with the whole "it's not going to be NTR focused for the main LIs after the thing with the GF" spiel, which is already a false statement imho, cause it's going to happen again. It's going to bleed over from the secondary LIs to the main LIs. That I am fairly certain of.**).. I'll finish my playthrough, but I doubt I'll come back to this in the future,. Guess I'll check if the game's even around, i.e. not abandoned, in 3-6 months(besides checking this redux**).
Edit: Oh! And those fucking time jumps are fucking awful.(Prologues should give context to the story, not remove most of it, because I sure as shit feel like I'm missing hell of a lot context inbetween the jumps**)
Edit2:Finished it, and my opinion is still the same.(Even after the "redux"**) It's too much of a wreck to go anywhere good, imho. Far too messy, far too much missing context between the time jumps, or just in general.How and why are we suddenly ass slappin' thight with Nate("the new guy")? I thought the point of choices , like; "Fuck him!", i.e. hope a car runs you over, was that they should matter?(Now a removed previously pointless choice, instead of making it actually fucking matter. Piss poor writing throughout tbh., and just as bad or worse in Russian from what I've read.**
**=-> Edit 3: Made some notes and addatives on some things after the remake/redux, so things make sense for those who did not play through the first release, or the first pre-NTR tagged redux. I do not see a point in making a near duplicate post, so editing this one it is. I am going to be honest, this might be one of the most poorly written and excecuted games I've seen here on F95. The only "redeeming" quality about this mess is that the mc is not some scrawny shota matchstick with a cock longer than he is tall(hyperbole ofc). Sadly, the MC is still a fucking doormat where it matters though.
