This is the first time I wished that I would have dug through the massive backlog of comments to see if there's NTR of any kind. I know that for some rare few open relationships are great and work for them somehow. Sharing, swinging, netorare, netorase, sissy stuff, and all that. That's good for them. I'm not trying to shame anyone.
But to me if I was dating a girl that long. Cared that much about someone and was that emotionally invested? Then she said she wants to see other people and you sense that they want that? That would be devastating to me.
Sure you might agree to see other people in this case, but that relationship would be dead for me. Could you look at the one you love and not wonder if they used their pass? Man or woman? I have no idea how some don't feel the intense feelings that come with that or enjoy them. I would rather not cheat at all or break up and not have that pain. That's real life, man. This is supposed to be a video game.
I get some say they wanted a cuckqueen route for her, that would have been okay for a porn game, but they failed terribly at that. And by the way, I don't know who needs to hear this, but unless you're famous, rich, or powerful in some other way like politics then you're not going to have perfect supermodels like these throwing themselves at you because you weren't a creep or an asshole to them. I think we can all suspend our disbelief for porn. But there's boundaries to that of course.
Anyway. With a game that is naratively driven like this and you can name the characters it's just that much more impactfull for me. Like that one game on here, I forgot the name, that had one of the key heroines blackmailed and analy raped by a Joe Dirt looking dude, it just kills your boner no matter how you handle that. Too real I guess? I don't know. I'm not a psychiatrist.
Sigh... Even I don't exclude NTR games because it's usually avoideable. Not in a you don't see it way like this implies, but in a it is not canon at all and you don't have to see it sort of way that if you wanted to see those scenes then you have to jump through hoops to do so. Unless the game was designed for it in the first place. Which this one clearly isn't.
I had to vent a little.
