The game has a netorare tag and an old changelog introduced and NTR on/off switch...
That was a precaution that I am arguing against - the dev added the NTR tag despite there never being a possibility of having any of your LIs stolen from the MC - not unless you actively ruin your relationship with them (meaning, you actively avoid romancing them). Not only that, but the LIs you don't romance are akin to written out of the story, as you won't see or interact with them much after that point.

DS23G , there's a bug in day4_afternoon_neela_bath, missing the choice to accept or refuse Hagen's offer to buy Neela if hints aren't enabled.

(Also, too bad that she and the MC can't set up an evening date if Hagen is hanging around, but I assume that that is deliberate.)

I didn't find anything other than a bath scene, am I missing something?
Just a few conversations, mostly setting up future content: if the MC refuses to accompany Hagen he can set up dates with Neela and Aleta in the evening and continue the path with the countess, otherwise he can still set up the date with Aleta and visit the bookseller in town along with Hagen for a business opportunity.

I am pretty disappointed in this update, there is little to any content and that for an AVN thats been around for over a year, there is still no sexual content worth calling it that. Unless other choices give more options, but how would the player know unless they take all the combinations of choices, which is completely illogical. Why then not introduce a journal, some record or a gallery with info on how to unlock those scenes from other paths. Eitherway, this game is incredibly slow and I honestly can't see how it will last for much longer with the rate and amount of content...

Neutral
= I'm very iffy about offering this level of granular choice since it means a lot to keep track off on the dev planning side to say nothing of the fact that it can cause situations where certain updates literally bring no new content for some players if they aren't on certain routes. Only time will tell, but I've seen the situation described and, I'm sure we've all seen games just get abandoned and, lack of fans/funding aside, I'll bet maintaining this level of choice is also a contributing factor if/when it gets too unwieldy and interest is waning.
Welp. Didn't take long for my previous concern to come true. I saw the bath scene, the dinner and that was it for me.
Maybe 10 minutes of gameplay. :confused:

Agree with this statement, but even with several options available to the player, lets be really brutally honest here, there is simply not a lot of content AT ALL. After over a year the MC still hasn't had any actually sex, with any LIs. Most of the AVNs content is around politicking, intrigue and court related issues that, while interesting for setting the plot, should not take center stage in an Adult Virtual Novel... The developer introducing the conniving, back stabbing family only out to inherit didnt need to happen right now, that could easily have been introduced later to create "upset" in the MCs new world. One which by that point the MC would have been settling into and would have had sex with at least 1 or more LIs... Still none of this changes the slow rate of development and I can only blame the developer, as what I mentioned here is an easy way to keep your players vested while keeping your game entertaining on all fronts not just endless dialogue with intrigue without JUICE

MC single, no gf, yet tagged NTR and in the game option NTR on/off.
Some games call NTR to MC's mother and sister, is not NTR but tag NTR just sharing a girl MC fucked is too much.

^^loser mindset, every girl thats not riding my dick is ntr

anyway game is overall pretty cool really, hopefully next update comes soon enough. speaking on ntr, will be interesting to include hagen, the chief guard and the black noble in fun with the maids, participation with the joy girls and some LIs.
