so definately the lack of ground rules was a big reason the game went to shit in my opinion. of course there were more.
The lack of ground rules is unique.
All other games with a similar plot comes with ground rules..
you can play tons od swinging/sharing games with a couple that make the background rules you are talking about.
in TAC or TACOS the background rules... is only ONE MAIN RULE : they are made only by the MC and almost all the men Anne fucks with, are decided by the MC (except for rare cases that make sense in certain plot paths example she may react unexpectedly if she disagrees with her husband.)
Everything that happens to Anne, happens because of the protagonist's choices
There are only a few points where the choices are made by Anne only and it is obvious bc otherwise if she should be able to make choices for herself only, the game would become a multiple protagonist game.
This is male protagonist game.. this is the main background rule in this story... I think is not so easy to do that... in fact in the old release there are scenes where Anne has choices... and maybe she will have choices also in tacos when the unfaitfull stats will be avaliable also fot her
While I respect your opinion mine is different....
I think the rules are made day by day only by the MC and Anne can only accept what the MC want but she can react in unexpected ways if she disagrees with... this makes this story unique... there are no games like this...
Simply this is a particular and specific couple who decided to go down a rare path that is only in this game ...my opinion is that these very quirks make the story interesting and different ...
it makes people think and creates controversial reactions ...
this is exactly the purpose of the developers!
He deliberately created a male protagonist who drives males players crazy because he is a man with principles that deviate from the common way way of being a stereotypical male
It is the perfect game to be in a forum where people can express their personal opinions--even the most controversial ones.
I think this is what the author deliberately wants.
