First game i ever seen on this site to be in development for more than a few years and make it to 1.0
Project Manager @auradev is insanely professional
Guys, how do you complete a quest with diving underwater when you run out of breath in the process? I have a mission to find Liliana or whatever her name is.

So I've gotta ask, is this game Completed like karryns prison is completed where there were a few more updates and maybe a dlc type expansion coming or is it actually 100% complete and the only thing left is bugfixes?

It's gonna be getting more side content while the dev starts work on the next game.
After getting a 1.0, I really have to say after playing earlier versions years ago, the writing and relationships in this game are a huge letdown. Corruption and NTR games can usually get a pass if the writing and H scenes are good but I feel like this game failed miserably at that. This game has so much set up and feels like it has no pay off. I think by far the biggest disappointments are John and Richard in this respect. I gave this game the benefit of the doubt since it was in development and I gave it an initial review 3 years ago and it's painful that none of it got any better even on its completion.
John is by far the biggest disappointment. He has everything set up for him to be a competing male character for Aura and yet he's just given one off scenes that are completely disconnected from their relationship and never mentioned again. Just keep sitting there with the exact same dialogue options for the entire game. No big deal. He gets like one scene that seems like it's gonna set up the rest of their relationship at the start with his first training scene and then it's never pursued any further and he only gets scenes that require you to intentionally get them both drugged by failing at game mechanics. And what's the follow up to this? Nothing. What happened to the guy that was groping her tits and grinding on her in the middle of training? They just move on like it never happened and straight back to zero character progression npc mode.
Richard is interested in Aura and yet its only after she's mindcontrolled into being a shallow idiot that has absolutely nothing in common with who she was at the start of the game that he actually pursues her? From the IRL corruption scenes where Aura loses her interest in game development, it would suggest that Richard has a degree of respect for Aura if only as a rival. He also goes on about how people are just meat and doesn't respect them so it's only through Aura's intellect and ability that she is above them in his eyes yet Richard has nothing to say about Alicia corrupting Aura into being the same petty moron that she is. How is this consistent with his world view or why he would be interested in Aura? This isn't even mentioning that he's pretty much entirely absent from the game for a huge portion of the game.
So the main antagonist and someone that should've been one of your closest allies border on nonexistent in terms of her corruption. Hermann somehow gets more progression than John but even his writing is awful. Going from a few kisses and pretending to agree with his incel views straight into marrying him? Roland is the only character that gets a more natural progression of a corrupting relationship where Aura's boundaries are continuously pushed but you wind up killing him so there goes that.
And this isn't even mentioning the IRL scenes that are supposed to run parallel to the fantasy world. Does no one in the real world find her attractive? There's even a scene where one of the mean girls has to bribe guys to compliment her. It's just insane.
Idk how this game gets any praise for its writing. Aura's relationships range from nonexistent to completely nonsensical and inconsistent with the characters involved. There's barely any sense of continuity or progression and the H scenes are scarce. My initial review remains the same: Pushing through this game feels like you're rationalizing a sunk-cost fallacy for what a colossal waste of time it is.
None of this feels good to say. For how much effort was put into making this a completed game, it is extremely disappointing for a story heavy game to fail at writing relationships with core characters which is fundamental to an NTR corruption game. Aura's corruption and personality progression is awful and so are the relationships.

I mean, yeah, because money and saving people etc. Although more could have been done with the world reacting to the marriage afterwards.
While I had my own issues with the latter half of the game, I can't say it was sparse on H in the last 1/3 or 1/4 of the Earth corruption. Hopefully the next game will have less breadth and more focus on the core relationships and H, while giving the player more control over the moral degeneration aspect.

Yeah, reading their Patreon post about the next game makes me hope we get a lot of content to choose from. Choose being the optimal term. My one complaint with the corruption of SKA is that it is functionally linear, or more like it gives an illusion of choice. At the start you can choose a lot of different options, but you are "required" to do them all to get to later corruptions. So if you wanted to avoid being a bully because those scenes are a major turn-off, you can't unless you don't want to see half the game that only unlocks after that set of mental changes.
I hope the next game allows us to play into the content we personally want and work to avoid or undo the content that is less entertaining. (Seriously, I can not stand the scenes where the MC bullies her friends. Which is a testament to the quality of writing)
I think it was explained in Intro. Richard respects initial Aura and considers her a "human" but he is interested in turning her into "meat". He wants to break her and that's why he approves Alicia's corruption. And yes, he prefers to stand aside until he is sure to win - the same behaviour as in Roya
Just to note in case for those interested in his event sequence and are now afraid that this is mandatory: Killing Roland can be avoided by increasing his Popularity (not damaging is also sufficient) or reaching a sufficient corruption level to force Aura into letting him go when she fights him.

Was going to buy this game on Steam, but there is no patch on the store page.
Most games that have a lewd patch will have it on the store page, even if it's a bit extra, I don't mind paying.
But if I have to go to an external site for the good stuff, I might as well come here, right?
Steam be dumb.
