Well, we'll still see how it goes. Knowing what everyone thinks about the matter could help me decide what features to do.

That said, I think the unlock all scenes button might be the best option. So people can decide for themselves if they want the thrill, or just to see everything at once.

For a game where choices matter, players should also be given the chance to have a choice:BootyTime:

i mean, let the wt-mod developers do the "see every scene"-thing XD

and focus on what you want to do, the way you want to do it ^^

I like the game so far, the story is engaging as hell, and the sexy scenes are amazing. I can only speak for myself(obviously) about the multiple routes and scenes, personally i don't mind when a game has multiple routes when it comes to the story, but as a Harem lover, i want to see the most sexy scene possible in one playthrough. I find it annoying when a harem game lets us have every single LI in the game, but most of the time you have to pick between two girls to spend time with, so even if you are dating both girls, you can only see one scene at that time. Even if i really like the game, like this one, i won't go back and make different choices to see another scene i missed, that's just how i like to play, so being able to see almost everything, if not everything on one playthrough is a good thing for me. :KEK::KEK:

With that being said tho, i would still like for the DEVs to stick to their vision of the game, and only change stuff that they feel would make the game better, or more enjoyable for the players.
For me the best solution to this, so that people that enjoy playing a game multiple times differently to see every scene, and people like me who likes to see everything in one playthrough, would be either the DEV, or a modder, makes it so that when you make a choice, like "spending time with girl A or B", you can see the other scene you missed on the spot, without having to resort to a gallery MOD, like the Harem mods Zoey makes for some games. And you would have the option to use this feature or not, so that players that like to unlock all the scenes themselves don't get affected.

These are just my thoughs on it, i'll still play the game regardless of what the DEV decides to do, because it's amazing.

As of now, as seen through the polls, one feature I'm currently considering would be an option in the gallery to unlock all scenes. This is so once the player finishes their current playthrough, they have the option to view the other scenes they missed without resorting to multiple saves.

That said, thanks for the review, and I'll see you on the next chapter!

i don't know where the events of this VN are happening(i'm guessing the US bc the names of the characters and of the places)...but the US as a nation is 4156 kilometres wide(from west to east)...but Alice and Mc must travel for 3000 miles to go to the cabin...which are 4828 kilometres...

so either Alice's cabin is in the middle of the ocean, or she knows how long is the actual road to the place XD
3,389.4 mi Houlton, Maine to Seattle, Washington via road for instance.

In the passing booth I couldn't caress Tifany:cry: Is this a bug cause I can see that I unlocked it in the replay gallery.
Oh! Apparently it's a misplaced label (Basically, another bug oh boy.) Tiffany's scene requires a certain vigilance level (lower vigilance is better).

The bug causes the scene to be accessible via the gallery even if you don't meet the requirement though. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

So with the poll, you could just do both, personally I don't like multi playthroughs and getting stuck in one route missing stuff or even choosing between going to one Li over the other, you could release a gallery mod and also switch to a more direct story to not miss out, I think a clearer poll would be 2 choices, 'do you guys want to have multiple playthroughs or a single path and not miss content and then just release a gallery mod

Downloaded, played and enjoyed it! A little said to have to choose as I'm "girl" greedy! :ROFLMAO: and I hate to play a game again just to see missing secnes. So if the Dev could fix that when you played an upgrade you could see the scenes you missed so would it be great. Still, I will continue to play even without that. (y)

I'm liking it so far, but I feel like the MC is railroaded pretty heavily into being a simp.

To elaborate, most choices in this game look like this:

Do/say simpy thing - Get love/trust/friendship whatever.
Do/say something else - get nothing or get minus points in the "good" variables

In general, I believe choices are much more effective when structured like this.

Do/say simpy thing - get love/trust/etc.
Do/say pervy/callous/evil/alpha/selfish/etc. things - get corrupt/break/submission/etc. points or results

Jessica cafe scene was done pretty well. You could neg her by playing into her insecurity, or build her up. And you get points to represent that. Most other choices are not actual choices. They either lead to bad ends, or are structured so that one choice is clearly suboptimal. The only reason you might go for the non-simpy answers is for roleplaying (and willingly missing out on content).

Of course, it's unreasonable to expect EVERY choice to have meaningful splits, but this game is leaning too heavily into the railroading choices. It makes it hard to play the MC how you want if you are at the same time conscious of the inner workings of VNs.

edit:
So let's take a look at Alice. Obviously, we gotta help her out or there is no story. It's unreasonable to expect that there is some wildly different route for her. My initial playthrough was a blind run. This random, murderous girl is holding the MC at gunpoint. The way I'm picturing the MC (typical cynical dude), his tolerance for her is already at rock bottom. So I just keep choosing the choices that reflect this attitude. Finally, the game forces you to go save her. MC has this unnatural desire to help her at the risk of his own life, despite the fact that she threatened to kill you (and does so if you get the bad end). At this point, it kinda doesn't make sense for you to keep being distant and cold towards her, because it is starting to go against the natural flow of the narrative. Why is he continuing to help her if he is not interested in her? So now, I might as well go back and pick up the points for her so I don't miss out on content for no reason.

Just as a thought experiment, we could try to think of a way to present a slight variation for a non-simp relationship with her. If you don't have enough trust/love points (or accrue some bad variables) with her by a certain point in the story, the nature of the relationship could become a more transactional affair. Either a promise of money or her offering her body in exchange for his help. You could keep the same events for the most part with some modified dialogues and such. It is certainly an increase in workload to write alternate dialogues and contingencies based on their relationship status, though.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect the dev to go back and change things at this stage, but I just wanted to point out the current state of the game. Or at least how it felt like to me. The game has the disclaimer that choices matter a lot, but truthfully, I don't consider most of these choices to be actual choices. The only real choices are picking the girls to hang out with and the occasional ones that have opposing point gains. The vast majority of choices have a clearly right answer like doing something nice vs not doing something nice. You could argue that finding these right answers is part of the gameplay, but they stop being meaningful choices at that point. It just becomes a point hunting mini game.
