There are three types of choices. One, pure kinetic novel where you don't have choices at all which everything would be unavoidable, two, choices that trick you into thinking your chosen choice is a progress but it's actually of the progress of how the game is meant to go thus forcing you to see the content you don't want or fake choices like in VST and a meaningful choices where there are many and they actually provide a choice that leads you to another scene, route, ending which can be consequential or not. The last one is the hardest to implement because of the branching and frankly it's rare(like ORS). Most games have the second one.WR, its not the Story, its not the Renders...hell...its not even FMCs absurd, borderline painful stupidity with which she manage to perceive the world — as if her brain took the day off (almost every day)......! I seriously wonder — if I were a developer making a game of this size and quality, why on earth would I give zero craps about adding options!? Whats the harm? Even with options, the story can still move forward just fine. I mean, if I'm not into a certain love interest, then just let the game ignore them. No more scenes, no more quests — poof, gone. It actually worked with the Dean, remember? I really, really thought Foxxied was turning the corner with version 3.5 — after that whole "stalling in the park" incident. He added real choices! The FMC could ignore Elijah, Mr. X, and others, and I was like: “YES! Finally, someone gets it!” And then... one version later... BAM. Everything’s gone. Decisions? Options? Never heard of it.
And if I dare to ask why it’s like this, the answer should definitely NOT be: “Because it’s a porn game!” I mean, it's a sandbox game… that behaves like a kinetic novel. When have you ever seen or played something like that??? It's not funny, it's not cool… it's just plain dumb. Look at almost every other "corruption" game out there (Downfall or Anna for e.g.
) — like 99% of them actually give you options. You know, choices with impact. That thing porn games are known for. In my opinion, that's how it's supposed to be. SoD is like a brand new and fancy car… but the manufacturer slapped on a muzzle and said: "You're only allowed to drive on this one specific road." All the other roads? Sorry, not available. The car looks great, has cool features and all… but you're stuck in glorified GPS hell. Sure, the car is cheap — but that doesn’t make it special. It just makes people walk away shaking their heads.
