I'm curious to know how many of you enjoyed the sci-fi element in the story, particularly the part where they played the alien game? Personally, I'm not a big fan of such themes in VNs, but that's just my preference – no offense intended to the creator. I must admit, though, the scenes were visually stunning.
I've noticed that many devs, like the one behind 'Being a DIK,' for instance, incorporate similar elements. Is this really as popular as it seems?
I enjoyed the Sci-Fi episode.
IMO - it did a lot to advance the story:
The MC got a chance to support Sonya taking some independent action against the aliens as well as getting her out for an afternoon in mixed company.
The MC got a chance to confront and resolve the issue with Nadia (handcuffs in the girl's locker room) so it did not fester.
Potential plot point - the confrontation the MC had with the son of a first team BB coach.
The MC and Nami got an invite to the barn for future games.
A professor arrived late to play - so we learned that students and teachers mix in these activities.
This also leaves the possibility for lewd moments with a professor or two at barn events once the game is done and alcohol has been flowing.
There are lewd cards in game, and these can be used by the women on the MC or by the MC on the women - something for the next get together.
A comment from a few years ago - when they do a DND style event (think medieval), a comment was made that there could be a harem in that scenario.
How that will play out was not mentioned but some flirting in game, finding out that some of the women would share a man could lead to threesome opportunities in the barn or after (recognize that this is years out, but I view the sci fi setting as setting the stage and establishing the ground 'rules' for future get togethers and related encounters).
These are just my off the cuff musings and I am sure I missed other aspects of the Sci Fi setting.
I recognize that some people don't like the setting but, in terms of opening up story opportunities, roleplaying can get the job done.
Cheers!!
