Interesting perspective.
> this game is one dimensional AF, doesnt even try to do anything more than it's core niche
I think this is one of the game's strengths honestly. I've played so many games that try and branch out but it doesn't make them better. This game does it straight forward. Meet a futa you like, spend time with her, and fuck.
> I dont even know what the plot actually is
> I do remember not liking the bar lady and the doctor in particular from earlier on.
Personal taste is fine. I liked the doctor because if you behave like a brat, she doesn't get offended, instead she says "Oh, you WANT me to punish you? Well now let's have some fun." And she welcomes the challenge.
> Granted theres only 2 characters that I actually find somewhat attractive
Tell us who!
> So despite all of that I still find myself being entertained, and that is worth something.
Glad to hear it!
My take is totally different
as to the plot : you are a station rat that longs for adventure, but you are also flat broke, In debt, and have zero training
As to your submissive nature, it stands to reason You are out of your element, chances are your confidence is not high. you been bullied all your life and when you did try to fight back you got your ass kicked a LOT. you want better but you lack the willpower to make it happen.
Ginny : THE BAR
She is a hustler street smart and wise she took pity on you, and developed a crush on you, after you did some work for her.
She is giving you an opportunity to relocate and make something of your self ......she sent you enough money to get you off the rock you were on which probably saved you from ending up in Jail or worse , .as you had to live by your wits and that meant something doing illegal and dangerous stuff for people.
So Ginny is definitely, a friend that got you out of a jam. She is also a Shrewd business owner and she expects a return on the investment she made into you, whether that is in the bed or in credits is up to you and she is open to either (sex or money )
so on a scale of 1 to 10 on looks personality etc
Ginny is a 8 overall
The only one I am not real fond of YET is the doctor
And its the heavy dominatrix vibe she puts off ....which would be great if you are into that
she hits around a 7 on my scale ATM
the rest of the crew is a Strong 9 in all categories , lets just say I would Sign up for the long haul on the Despina floating between Engineering security and logistics and trying my level best to AVOID the INFIRMARY most of the time
as for the game being one Dimensional ...maybe but there are plenty of jobs you can learn as well and places to work to make money .... besides the apprenticeship on the DESPINA ...
there are other jobs
the Mining job ,odd jobs at the spaceport, work at the bar ETC.....
and with Ginny's path you got a small scavenger ship and I am sure there will be more scavenger jobs
keep in mind you are still on the station at the moment and you adventures in space have not even started, so who knows what awaits out there .....
the game has a bit of the Trials in tainted space/ Firefly... vibe (which I love )
with a mix of Great characters and story the art is top notch ...though some animations would be cool if possible I know in Ren'py it means a lot of extra coding to make happen, as ren'py requires a screen clearing each time before a new scene ( one day I hope they fix that. ) until then it is what it is.
that being said the RENDERS are awesome and add to the immersion into the game
