Reading the comments, I'm also in the non-monsterified Sarah enjoyers. Just curious though,
Shadow Portal when you decided to go the QoB route, did you get a poll or something that this was something most ppl wanted, or is it more due to your personal preferences?
Wow! I absolutely love questions like this — and even more so, I love answering them ^^ Thank you so much for giving me the chance to talk about it!
As for choosing the QoB route, it's a bit deeper than just "it seemed cool." But no worries — let me explain!
From the very beginning, I try to create what
personally excites and attracts me — what I find sexy, stimulating, or just straight-up appealing. That energy, I believe, is what makes a project feel alive. And those who enjoy the same things? Well, they’re kind of my kindred spirits.
Tastes are a delicate matter. Even if we share some, it's totally fine to differ in others — and I love that diversity.
Now, let me lift the curtain a bit: originally, the game was planned to have
multiple routes, and we even knew how each of them would end. It was just a matter of piecing it all together. But as the project grew, it became clear that
spreading ourselves too thin would be risky. So we made a strategic decision to
focus on a single route, and give it everything we’ve got.
That’s when I realized: if I’m going to explore just one route — I want to do it
my way. And so, its direction changed completely.
Interestingly, the earlier version of this route was
a lot more dramatic. I liked it too — it dove into some deep themes. But I eventually felt it was
a bit out of tone for SlutCraft.
That said —
small spoiler — the dramatic ending is
still in the game. It’s a kind of hidden compromise

It's
very well concealed, and only the most observant players will find it. It’s also a little
homage to Cyberpunk 2077 (you’ll know what I mean if you spot it).
So — hope this answers your question!
I genuinely appreciate you asking it.
And I’m really glad to hear you’re part of the “non-monsterified Sarah” enjoyers — that’s a special vibe ❤
