Okay so couple questions I'd really appreciate help with.

1. The in-game walkthrough shows you when choices are green or pink for a love interest. But what does this mean? Are they something like love or slave routes?

2. Does this game get better? I'm not very far in (just up to where you dream about your mom giving you a blowjob in Eva's psychiatrist office) and it just seems like a random sequence of events so far. The mc is doing a terrible job of investigating what's happening, and keeps keeping secrets for no real gain.

I mean you did kind of call the game "bad"? why would people want to help you when you can just search :HideThePain:

if you expect a linear detective story where you (the player) can piece the mystery together as you go then yeah this game doesnt do that but if you want a game where the harem (or heritage wink wink) is all kinds of twisted up (wink wink wink) or where weird shit happens (wink wink wink wink) then this game "surprisingly" fits that bill. As someone who started plying 2 updates ago (this update was my first current one) I feel like there is a good mix of explanations/ the titular weird stuff. This game is above "porn game sequence generator #69" (looking at you pure incest and ntr genres)

I mean, a lot of AVNs start rough and then get better. And Recreation made it clear this is more of a side project to explore ideas than a super-polished game. I came here because I really enjoyed Bad Memories and Nya. But thanks for the rundown, it does sound like something worth checking out.

I looked through all the explanations of the green/pink bar; the consensus seems to be that green = more independent, pink = more submissive. But what I couldn't find is information about the extent to which this changes which scenes you get, and which route gets more. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some characters you should aim for green, others for pink, and others have equal scenes for both routes. Though without a walkthrough perhaps only Recreation is familiar enough with it all to know.

People were saying there was some exclamation mark I should look out for to see when a scene is unlocked due to stats; when I was playing, I thought the exclamation marks just meant the option would lead to a dialogue submenu. I understand I'm asking a lot of questions, so if it's too much I guess I'll just simultaneously run an all-green and all-pink run and hope that works out.

TBH for all but the most "story heavy" games I automatically throw a copy of URM into the game folder so that i can see variables/path splits etc so I cant offer any help with that to the point that i didnt even recall this game having a system like that :KEK: but i feel like its most often the case (in a decently written game) to just play it by ear on a case by case basis. Everyone else might want one girl to be more of a sub but you might enjoy it more if she has independence (or whatever the paths are called). i would say this game does a better job of choices (in regards to LI) than eternum where your options are [view this scene] or [be off their path forever and they speak way less throughout the game] (thats how Nova/Nancy paths worked at start at least)

Thanks for recommending URM, I haven't used it before but I'll definitely give it a go now.

That's some really weird shit keeping secrets from folk that may secretly know the secret as well as secrets you don't know because they are still secret and you also secretly knowing your secret isn't ;)

From my understanding in the beginning the MC mostly keeps his mouth shut because he doesn't know what is real or not and doesn't want to come off as insane.

But now it would be time to share some of the stuff with most of the people. But there's still some fuckery going on. Specifically whatever Eve is trying to do the Mom in these dreams.

They also wanted to keep the little sister in the dark because she had some issues dealing with the death of the MC in her timeline.

It's been a while since I played this, so I don't remember, but how is the male domination? I see it's not a tag (anymore?) so I'm a bit confused. Also I saw someone say something about slave routes, but I don't remember anything like that when I played.

Male domination was never a tag, it's under the genre spoiler.
There's no slavery. There's some form of corruption, but I don't think it's what you're looking for.

Let me explain the timelines:
Timeline 1 - MC is alive, mother is dead, MC has no sister in this timeline, unknown if MC has a daughter in this timeline. This is the timeline everyone else ended up in so consider this the main one.
Timeline 2 - MC is alive, mother and sister are alive however only sister came to timeline 1. Remember this sister did not know MC's daughter.
Timeline 3 - MC is dead, mother and MC's daughter came from this timeline, and sister of this timeline had already met MC's daughter. Sister stayed behind and according to what was said is likely going crazy there since she's been abandoned by everyone she knows. Remember it was mentioned that upon MC's death she underwent mental distress, got better when MC's daughter showed up, but now daughter and mother are both gone from her timeline so mentality she probably got worst.

The dev alternates between two games and posted literally three comments up from you.
11 1/2 months since the last update for the other game too... and not even an ETA for that game yet either. Being social doesn't mean working on any of the games. Once BM finally get it's small-ish update, I imagine it'll be another 3+ months for this one to get an update. You think that's normal?

For the record, I'm not complaining about the dev taking his/her sweet time on the games... hell... I don't even care if the dev abandons them all. But to use the defence that the dev working on 2 games (dev claimed this game being a lot easier/faster to make) is a justification for a small-ish update to require a full year or more to release and a year or more for this one to update as well... that's just nonsense.

And I'm sure this dev has yet another "valid" excuse for it too... just like all the other times he/she was late for an update, but I don't buy any of it anymore.
