Although not the most nuanced critique of the game, it is still valid in my opinion. It is a feminist game in that the concepts of consent and female agency are explored and emphasized. That in itself isn't bad, but it isn't surprising when people are expecting a male power fantasy and instead get this game, and criticize it negatively.
Your MC is limited sexually most of the time, especially on what is supposed to the more sinister, non-redeeming path, which by the way, is already muddled between a fanatical yes-man and a self-serving pragmatist. While being a lackey, the MC is described as the high ranked confidant of the Lich. However, he is the de facto subordinate to Suspira, a volatile sociopath, which relegates the MC to quite menial tasks such as laundry and masseur to an amazonian bodyguard. The jarring inconsistencies of his position is compounded by an almost voyeuristic emphasis, despite not being tagged as such. Most of the time, the MC is not the primary driver of sexual encounters. Someone made the comment, that of scenes showcased on the inaugural post, in only a few is the MC a participant, which quite indicative of the game. Building upon that, rape while being tagged, in the game it is only described in a 3rd person, tangential way. Correct me if I am wrong, but would a rape tag suggest a 1st person, raper/rapee dynamic, as it pertains to a fetish? On the subject of violence, the most violent, gory descriptions are the death and mutilation of men. While commonplace amongst media, in my opinion, it seems overemphasized here. This not an indictment of feminism, but could be construed as the writer's conscious or not, misandry.
In summary, what we have here is mismatch of expectations and delivery. People are initially expecting an empowered male MC, but reality, have empowered female NPC's that curtail, in the majority of cases, the MC's agency. This from a feminist sociopolitical viewpoint that isn't bad, but a game design point of view is. In essence, narrative games usually are a form escapism, taking the player out of the confides of the limitations placed on them by society, nature, or even morality. Placing limits, if perceived arbitrary, is going to provoke ambivalent to hostile reactions. How to fix or negate this? First, correctly tag the game. Secondly, emphasis the limitations and themes placed upon on the player in the synopsis of the game. And lastly, if a partial rewrite of the game is to be considered, increase MC's agency and ability to act trangressively if on a more self-serving path.
Thanks for the reminder.So I best the game today, I was playing 2 routes at once, redemption and mercenary.
Boy where to begin, this was a massive disappointment. Especially the redemption end.... I mean the Mc gets tortured by Irine for something he doesn't even do. In fact we have 0 interaction with her character outside m her interaction and the 3 scenes she's in with the princess and the Mc (that I've seen) we really don't interaction with her at all.
But despite that, I don't think the devs even knew wtf kind of story they wanted to tell. Like the Mc suppose to be the left hand of the lich, his most trusted minion... yet.. he's constantly getting put down and told what to do by another character who obviously outrank and obviously has more favoritism from the lich than him. I almost stopped playing when this character who is suppose to be a big important member of this group is being told to do some outsiders laundry or dry them off which was even more ironic because that same character said they never had a maid and don't want one just to accept the Mc and the sorceress as their maid. Like what that completely contradicts what was said Like 3 sentences ago
At time the character seems like he suppose to be a cunning and crafty rogue or assassin, yet half the time the character is acting idiotically.
The porn was the most disappointing, more than half of it was f/f or voyeurism. Now I'm not all that into f/f and have nothing against voyeurism. In fact I find it highly annoying that mcs in a game just fucks everyone for no rhyme or reason and no other characters ever independently have sex. But here is the kicker, there has to be a balance between the Mc getting scenes and the npc. The Mc had the least amount of scenes than anything else in the game.
That's not to mention characters were just there to to be there. They honestly held no real purpose.
Honestly there's more but this game sadly was a disappointment.
Is this offer still valid?Wanna get Womanizer (6 days) before it's published officially?

Because the save protection is involved, you should change the savetoken.py file to make sure the changed save file passes the file check.hey guys, I tried to use the save editor to change the gold value, but after that can't load the file, any solution for that? View attachment 3530162

if True:
Meet the same bugs here, the animations can't play properly.Does anyone else have problems with animations? The background videos play fine but the ones with sex scenes don't show, it's just a black screen with text only. The AVI files are present in the DLC.rpa pack so I don't know what's the problem.
"images/"
before "dlcmagpie/sexanimations/.."
. So RenPy can't find the files to play.
