If it will be possible to complete the game without seeing/mentioning any sex with mantics then it's very good with me. If it will be forced - I can't complain. One of the things Studio FOW did definitely right is the fact they were never hiding that scenes like these will be included in the game. I decided to still back this game knowing it covers kinks that are not my thing so I will never complain about not enjoying the content because I was informed about it in advance.
A lot of people argue if sex with mantics is NTR, bestiality or both. I would say it doesn't matter. What matters is if you want to see it or not. What tag would you attach to it is not important, some people may consider them living toys and some sentient beings, arguing and trying to prove each other wrong is just pointless, at least that's my opinion. Just make of it whatever you want.
I don't understand however people who bought the game and are like "fuck Studio FOW, there are scenes of my waifus fucking with aliens". Well, yeah, this info was available even during backing stage, for years. If you didn't check what you are buying that's on you. Even then, they give you an option to totally skip this content. Ofc the way in which they did it from what I hear is totally unacceptable (by that I mean separating sex scenes from the story), but mantics being present in the game shouldn't be an issue anymore.
