This game... I can't make up my mind if it's actually good. It has some great parts, and some great characters and characterization, but then drops the ball in so many other aspects. I'm writing this when the MC is at the sports bar with the daughters, and -again- just agrees to whatever Becky's plan is. I'm sure whatever Becky has in mind will lead to the MC double guessing himself, then fucking her anyway, followed by some more double-guessing and some more dream sequences filled with self-doubt.
Maybe my issue is that the game is written for people who love big tits. Becky asked if I liked Madison's, I picked "no", then got accused of lying. Dev, if you don't like my answer, don't ask the question. This weird mix of kinetic story with player input feels wrong. It's not respecting my input or opinion, and by doing it this way, it makes the MC even weaker. Every time there is some agency through choices, it gets taken away. And some choices leading to a game-over... That's fine for a puzzle game or an actual Choose-Your-Own-Adventure, not a game that's kinetic in every other aspect.
Then there's Nessa. I turned her down the first time because I didn't know her, and the MC's life was complex enough already. Fucking a client, no thanks. The second time, Nessa just assumed that Frank was DTF, immediately going over her rules and preparing to undress. No thanks, again. Regardless, she still gets brought up in the context of Frank having been intimate with her.
Becky (I know she hates that name) started off great, but quickly evolved into the puppet master. In some ways, she's the MC of this game, she's the one making Frank's decisions for him. Lilly started off great as well, her inner conflict was so well crafted, but then it just disappears when she gets stuffed by Daddy. Never mind that she has 10 years of behavior to unlearn.
Abby... She's just annoying me at this point, though I can't blame her. I blame Frank for not putting his foot down, or just making a decision one way or the other. There are so many ways he could've subverted Abby's rules, if he had a spine. At this point in the game he's just lusting after her. She's perverting his view of her, and he's allowing her to. It reminds me a lot (maybe too much) about how Petal went about it in Lockheart's work. But at least there, Petal was honest and open about what she wanted, and she and Chester had actual conversations about it.
This vomit of frustration aside... I kinda like it? While I don't agree with certain choices, the story & character progression makes sense. There were a couple of very touching and emotional scenes, which is rare in this medium. And most of all, I'm still curious how it will all turn out. (My guess is they'll move to the vacation home to live in relative seclusion, and fuck happily ever after. Though I hope that the girls will have actual lives outside of being daughter & lover to Frank.)
