I'm so mystified by this sudden shift in their formula and equally confused by their choice of what deserves animation and how much effort to put into it.
We're 4 months in at this point and it still feels as if we're circling the drain with largely low-value exposition. Finally, finally, there's a main lewd scene and it's some weird 1-position gravity-defying pelvic swing that looks as if it was churned out in a day. More effort went into animating the MC slipping on DiddyLube than the first lewd after a 4 month wait. This game has been all stick and no carrot up to this point.
Honestly, were it not for the continued falloff of patrons I could've been convinced im the crazy one. Coming back to this after letting it sit for months this start to SotS has been so bad it genuinely feels as if NLT is intentionally throwing.
I have ToN arguably in my top 3 and absolutely in my top 5. What is happening with SotS? I don't understand what NLT is doing this for because it's not working.
