I wish that I could save the exact moment of a chat with the characters in the portal window. I can right-click and save the game but when I load the that save again, I have to start the chat with that character from the start. The dev did not choose to do so, because there are some mini-games involved (like Umiko's), but anyway.

I'll never understand why people make space sci-fi without aliens in it, that's the whole point. Imagine Mass Effect or Star Wars but everyone is human lmao.

Mass Effect and Star Wars are both Future Fantasy, not SciFi.
But to your point. I think to tons of people the vastness of space and the freedom of imagined future technology is plenty to justify SciFi with no alien life forms in it.TV like Firefly or a game like Mouthwashing are both examples. In the case of Future Fantasy with space magic and so on, Signalis is a game without aliens that seems to do fine.
So I'm not saying I don't enjoy me some blue babes, but they don't have to be everywhere.

Technically, Star Wars is past fantasy ("A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."). :)

Much of the lack of aliens in this game is due to the fact that the only planets discussed have only humans on them. That doesn't mean that once they land on the destination there isn't going to be some seriously weird flora and fauna. There's a story about when Star Trek was being filmed and the set decorators brought in a bunch of plants from the studio greenhouse to populate an alien planet set. Gene Roddenberry saw what they had picked out and had a fit saying they didn't look alien enough. When the propmaster said they didn't have any more "alien" plants, Roddenberry grabbed one out of a pot, shook the dirt off the roots and stuck it in upside down. "There, that's an alien plant!"

I'm going to be honest, my patience with this game is running very thin as it is right now. The premise of the game being a harem game with 16+ women, of which half of them act like they're throwing themselves at the MC from literally day one...but a third of the way through what will be the entirety of the game the MC could have probably seen more action chasing fanatical nuns. And with the time updates are taking it looks like it'll be around 5 years by the time this one is done...if this is some kind of a setup for a sequel, absolutely not worth waiting another 5 years before seeing any kind of resolution to this.

Also the whole "78 scenes" thing is looking like a massive joke with how little sex there has been. Tons of kisses, handjobs, and panty rubbing scenes are absolutely not what this game promised. And then the lines where the game is like "wow, you had so much action today" when there was literally no sex or even a BJ that day feels like the game is outright mocking and gaslighting the player.

I'll play a few more days, give the game a chance to grab my attention but this is rapidly approaching a 1 or 2 star review from me. I'm just glad I didn't buy this on Steam based on empty promises.
In just one day, my MC had either 4 or 5 threesomes (I forget which). On a different day, he recently came something like 10 times across multiple different scenes. Trust me, the sex gets there. And a few days really is not a lot of time to progress to that stage, even given their circumstances.

Also, don't make the mistake in thinking that the early days have a similar amount of content to the later ones. Later days have much more packed into them than early days. So if you're only on day 7 or something, you absolutely are not a third of the way through the current content.

As for future plans, the current game will end on Day 21, which is two more days, and Day 20 should hopefully be coming out soon. Wildman has said Day 20 is the biggest and most significant day in the AVN from a story and character arc perspective, and will include 'endings' for many characters' story arcs (though that doesn't imply they can't continue beyond Day 21, just that he still wants something satisfying to happen with them before everything concludes). There is indeed a sequel planned, but other than that it will pick up the plot after the first game ends, details are rather thin (likely to avoid spoilers about how this first game ends).

...Do you guys think I should've named the game Stranded in Text?
I got a good laugh from this, at least partly due to the fact that I consider you one of the best writers in the entire AVN-verse.

Is the game a bit verbose at times? Sure, but I don't have a problem with that since I'm not really part of the "TL;DR Generation". I grew up on Tolstoy, Hugo, and Tolkien, so lengthy narrative, if it's well-written, is fine.

I also know that there are some complaints and criticisms regarding the flashbacks; specifically, how much of the game they comprise, along with the feeling by some that they don't really move the story forward; but I disagree. At the very least, they provide valuable insight into who the MC really is and how he became who he is, as well as providing teasers regarding some very big plot twists/reveals that are about to happen. I figure -worst case scenario- they're a bit like the Tom Bombadil section of LOTR, though I suspect they have much more significance to the plot than that.

I can't find any of the tiny photos to click in my Photo Album, as part of the minigames in the portal Endurance OS. What am I missing? Do I have to click on existing photos, I don't really get that :(

Alright I cooled off some of the anger from a few days ago. Getting back into the game now but man, that entire panty rubbing scene from day 6 really has to either be replaced or at least taken out entirely imo. If that was one of the young and inexperienced girls it would be fine but for one of the more mature women that has been behaving like she was throwing herself at the MC from the literal first interaction on day 1 that is just a miserable scene that only aggravates the near total lack of action going on. And the whole "wow, you are getting so much action" talk around days 6 and 7 should be replaced too because all it does is bring attention to how little has been going on up to that point. And no matter how you slice it day 7 out 21 is fairly deep into the game. If you're that far into the game with that little to show for it after promising heavy action from the very first scenes of the game the absolute least you can do is not bring attention to the fact nothing has been happening.

There is also this...all kinds of talk that amounts to salivating over looking at a woman in yoga pants and "getting good" at yoga just to be around her wearing yoga pants, and to top it all off there is the suggestions that "touching parts" is something desirable when they're not even talking about getting naked...what is this trash? This is literally desperate virgin type behavior...there are 16 women and half of them behave like they want to throw themselves at the MC...who fucking cares about "touching parts" when said parts aren't even the genitals or doing yoga just to be around a woman in yoga pants? Get to banging the willing and ignore the rest...this talk about "touching parts" is the most lame behavior. These are fantasies of only the most desperate losers and teens who are just hitting puberty. This writing is pathetic.

The banter between MC and Paige is very much "middle-school porn fantasy", and there is a ton of it. If it bothers you a lot, probably a good idea to bounce. ;)

Fine, I'll take the L on that but I'm not retracting anything...they're not even talking about getting naked...much less any actual sex. So they're vaguely hinting at what? Holding hands...this so pathetic it's beyond exhausting...long ass convos about looking at woman in tight pants.

Pretty much every post you've made in this thread has been negative. I get sunken cost fallacy and trying to tough it out but at this point, the VN just isn't for you. It's been in development a long time, the dev isn't gonna magically change things just because you're complaining about them. Probably better to cut your losses on this one.

I love playing the game but the MC interrupting the women and insisting on making sexy jokes all the time is really getting me annoyed, I am on day 17 or so. He even flirted with Pandora the first time he saw her on camera man!
