Played this game once a while back and I have a question. So IIRC there's basically "guidance" and "corruption" paths, correct? When I played it before I did the latter, and my question is about the guidance paths. Besides it being called "guidance", rather than "love", "romance", etc. the descriptions also gave me an impression that they may result in the kind of endings where the MC basically mentors them but then ultimately they say "thanks for everything" and just leave at the end so they can spread their wings and go on to live happy lives and all that jazz.
That's not very appealing to me as far as my personal tastes in adult games go. Where the MC ends up alone as an old man sipping tea on his front porch and seeing pictures of his now-happily-married ex-sugar babies on facebook and thinking "I done good." or something
I'd rather they either married him or just moved in permanently as girlfriends or something. But while I don't want to make false assumptions just based on impressions, I also don't want to waste a bunch of time only to end up disappointed at the end either. So would someone mind describing to me a bit what the guidance paths are like thus far? Should I not bother (in your opinion), or are they leaning more in the direction of potential permanent relationships? Any helpful info would be appreciated
