You also didn't have to reply to me at all, and could have moved on with your day. But here we are. I have moved on, thanks.
I mean, once you say you dont want this, it is fine and will not come up later. Dont really understand your problem here aside from "It got hinted that the game has content I dont like if I decide to see this content, so I dont like the game."
If you post something in a forum you should expect that others comment on it and disagree with your opinion.

You can turn off the walkthrough options, IIRC. This was the dev's decision because the game is not so simple that a plain "best choice" walkthrough wouild be meaningful.
This is a huge mischaracterization. That's not "everyone", it's a single character, and she is (a) one of the most sexual characters in the game (other than the MC); (b) she had a pre-existing FWB relationship with another girl (who is also an LI and far more interested in the MC than in her) which she was open, honest, and communicative with the MC about; and (c) she asks the MC whether she should stop that FWB relationship or if she can continue it, and she accepts his decision no matter what that decision is.
I'd say that's about as far from how you characterized it as it's possible to get without all the girls being locked in separate rooms and never interacting with each other.
I would even say that the walkthrough is necessary to achieve what you want. Because there are a lot of choices and a lot of branches in this game.
And personally, I like if the Dev adds information that a certain choice might be important at a later date or that it currently does nothing but will be revisited. This allows to make a save at this point to start from there once it is implemented.

If that is indeed the case, then I am willing to retract that part of my original statement. But I would like to say that this was not really foreshadowed or hinted at, beyond that girl being a bit more forward and blunt in her affections.

hey, thanks for your game and for the update. do you have any ETA for the new release?
I can explain basically what the deal is. Cassie is bi, and already has a casual thing going on with Riley, but the decision where she tells you about it essentially serves as a lesbian on/off choice for those two. You'll generally be given a choice whenever a new combination of girls shows up, in case you want to keep certain girls for yourself, but let others fuck around. They're not gonna fuck each other by default (With some exceptions) but if the player pushes things that way, then they will. What I mean by this is that most of them are straight, so convincing them to fuck around with other girls will be something the player actively needs to push for if they want it to happen. The intention is that by the end of the game, MC will either have a harem of girls that are interested only in him, or he can be the head of what is essentially a massive family. Up to the player really.
In general though, this is very much a game that focuses on the porn, and the story is there mostly to serve porn stuff (Though not to the same extent as something like a brazzers script). A bit of a fuckfest, though only in the sense that it has a lot of sex scenes for the length of the game.
Totally fine if that's not your thing, but that's pretty much the intention of the game. As others have said, the directors commentary thing is just the in game walkthrough, which is disabled by default. It's there for those who don't really want to go with the flow, but instead just want to be informed when they make choices.
Not currently. I'm hoping this month, but every time I make a prediction, it goes wrong. So basically it's a case of "it happens when it happens."

I'm about to hard glaze here but as someone who played pretty much every front page game in the site + taking into consideration how comedy and whatnot are subjective, I just want to say as someone who easily gets bored by slice of life/sex focused ADVs I thought the way you write the dialogue for this game is really witty (the asian banter scene between olivia and akemi still gets a chuckle out of me every time). I would definitely not undersell the writing of this game just because it doesn't have a complex plotline because there's definitely a great effort being put into other aspects of it, the problem is people just don't like to pay attention it seems.
Heh, tbh I think most people do pay attention to that kinda thing, just I don't push the writing as a selling point since quality of writing feels so subjective. I sort of like the idea of it being something that catches people off guard, and maybe has something they didn't expect to find in a lowly school based harem punishment game. I get comments to that effect sometimes, and I like those. The premise is nothing new, but I like the idea of people being surprised because it's more what it appears to be on the surface (Depending on your expectations)
Essentially, I don't want to do something new, I just wanna do what I like, but my way. So we'll have tropes, familiar situations, settings, all of that. I'm basically selling my characters, and my style of doing things, rather than my story. So far I think it's going ok
This strategy is of course a really stupid one from a financial perspective, but that's fine. If the game were designed to make money, it would be different enough that I'd have lost interest ages ago.

Id just like to add my thoughts about Olivia here spontaniously:
I would like to put her in one of those tight cages, preferably without consent, and hate-fuck her till she got no tears left i was using as lube, because im a nice guy.
What you guys think, is this appropriate enough for her? Maybe exclude the lube?

If that's what you like, that's fine. I'm not going to actively do anything that will eliminate her impunity, nor do I intend to do anything that will bring a romance between her and the MC. No punishments, no sex, no romance.

What the other guy said, having some WIT in games (or even professional writing, for fucks sake) has become hard to find....

As to the financial perspective, i think you should advertise your kickass animations more. This game seriously flies under the radar. Even here in this thread, the OP shows three fairly short and weak animations and what looks like a generic renpy AVN and it did absolutely not make me suspect the sheer quality of your game.
Maybe advertise with some longer animations and perhaps include some of the games jokes/banter in the preview pictures. It can only help.
I appreciate the kind words. It's strange to say, but I almost like the idea of it flying under the radar. There's something attractive to me about the whole "sleeper hit" kinda thing. Not to say it's intentional, but I definitely don't mind it. Whenever I get a comment that says something along the lines of "I thought this was gonna be generic school AVN nonsense, but I was pleasently surprised" it feeels like a gotcha moment for me. I know my premise is super common and generic, so when I hear that I catch people off guard with the way I do it, that's fun for me. Financially of course it doesn't make sense, but it doesn't get me down. I'm fine, and the project isn't in danger.
Regarding promo, there's actually a really specific reason I don't advertise the animations too much. Primarily, I have a rule where I don't use the animations from the most recent update in promo for the sake of spoilers, and also I don't actually do all that many long animations. What I do however, is lots of animations strung together to make an overall scene. I'll likely be changing some of the promo animations when the next update comes out though because the existing ones are exactly how you describe them. For animations in general, I think there are generally two types of devs. (I may have typed this out before, but I can't remember).
Type A: Fairly long animations, perhaps 10-20 seconds each, but only 2 or 3 of them in a sex scene, and all dialogue runs over the top of those animations. Typically they'll feature position changes for a moment before returning to the original position, or maybe a kiss half way through, or maybe a bunch of random neck movement. Either way, something to justify the length of the animation.
Type B: Shorter animations, but sometimes 10-30 of them per sex scene, because each 1 second loop is designed to match the dialogue or whatever. Typically less detailed individually than the type A animations, but greater in quantity.
I very much fall into type B. Type A markets better since showing a really good animation is great for promo, but if that really good animation is pretty much all you get for a scene, it doesn't really suit my tastes.Typically when I go into type A realm, it's for a climax animation, or maybe a transition. Either way, not something loopable, so it feels a bit weird for promo.
As I said though, the game isn't in financial danger, just in case anyone thought that was why I brought it up in the first place. It's actually at all all time high which is a bit weird. Not by very much, but since the last update I had a minimal drop off, and at this point I think I'm actually making more than I did just after the last release (Which is usually a peak since people sub for the update, then unsub). I'm in no huge rush. It'd be great to get to go full time, but rushing to a goal like that would likely mean either rushing updates as well, or going all in on monetisation. I'm unwilling to do either. I just want it to be good.
All of this said, promo images and stuff will definitely be updated following the next update.

Morale is very important for a long term small team project. More than min-maxing your click-through rate or whatnot. It all falls apart if you hate the grind.Essentially, I don't want to do something new, I just wanna do what I like, but my way. So we'll have tropes, familiar situations, settings, all of that.

And if we're being real, most of the games on this site are for hobby. I quite like exploring quirky labor-of-love games even if I play through almost none of them. And I think this era will end in just a few years with the onrush of advanced combined AI tool sets that will make everything cookie cutter. It will be much easier to make a fap game but infinitely harder to make a standout one.
Just want to establish that for the ghost hunt there are no grates in the ceiling, whoever wrote the walkthrough needs to rethink that one. Can't find the key.

the key is hanging from a grate in the ceiling when you go up a stairway cant remember witch one
A very funny game but also well done game. The humor is very on point. The ghost hunting part is actually scary. Can't wait for more from the developer. I would definitely buy the game if it was available on steam.

That's why I still think the best way to go through the ghost hunt is VN mode. You miss out on zero content and don't have to deal with those shenanigans

The stairway is the one on the left side when you get to the highest floor. The ceiling is very high up and the grate is a little to the right of the stairway. The key is hard to see but it is there hanging from the grate. If you click with the mouse your "ghost hands" will grab it.
I should add that the sandbox mode is extremely fun but it is challenging. You must be patient and check the map all the time to be sure where you are. At first it is easy to get lost until you learn to navigate.
