Harems are nice, if they're believable. But stories only work if the characters motivations make it seem like the characters would be ok with a poly relationship. And even if you have group sex, that still isn't group love.
Belle made a point of this with her "Harem" ending in Long Live the Princess. The harem only happens because the MC turns evil and brainwashes the whole lot of them. Effectively turning them into little more than puppets devoid of their own will. Because the characters as written wanted love, not just to be one of many.
The girls in this game might be fine with fooling around, but love is a different matter. And one person said something like
"It's not fair to put all these pretty girls and make us choose one. It's a game not real life."
Well, when are games fair either? And if the point of the game is to pick the best girl for you, just like finding love in the real world, then that's how you play the game.
Or use multiple saves, jeez, it's Renpy, are you new?
