The game does offer you choices there in how your MC sees themselves. You got be a guy who dresses up to save his father, you could be a total femboy, you could be a trans person without changing your genitals, or you could desire to change it. Game seems to offer all these choices with options, so it is up to you.



It is also still a porn game and we have no idea how our main character truly lived through their earlier years. We see them in a moment of time in which they seem to be stable in how they are, but they always just needs some small pushes to go right ahead. But that also only if you want it to, you can do everything quick and happily or only do it because you require the money. You still want him to play as somebody who only does everything to save his father, you can. As least as far as I understand it. There is nearly always an option to at least say you are a boy.

Especially the overcompensation part. Well, that is what you get in a game that wants to get you off, right? The things our main character does are not realistic, but they don't have to be. It's porn after all.

That is actually what I found so brilliant about the game...it can be a game about trans realization, or not if you don't want to.

TBH, when saying "the choice is yours" but then lock you out of a big chunk of contents if you don't make certain choices, doesn't feel "is mine" at all.
IIRC, you can't progress further if you stay as male / Femboy. And I thought its uniqueness is the Trans perspective. As there are lots of other sissification game out there that turn our MC into a bimbo in the name of "finding the true-self".

It's definitely a focus of the dev. The fem progress even mentions it as the final "levels". I don't remember the exact levels, but a flavor text after you get the face change, it's something like "Now that you have a feminine face! Short of getting a vagina (fem 9) and getting pregnant (fem 10) you're as female as you'll ever get for now."
Obviously I'm paraphrasing a whole lot, but the game definitely is steering into that direction.

The "whole point" of the game I guess is the MC finding out they're trans and all the stuff that goes along with it.
Personally, I don't care for that whole part of the game, all the trans-acceptance type stuff, since it comes off really heavy handed. And a bit out of character with what's established at the start. One day he's fucking his girl and doing all sorts of dudebro things, then the next he's "so totally fem like omg". It's just a complete reversal of character. To the point that him as a "female" is rather just a caricature of what he thinks a girl acts like rather than how they actually do.
Which I guess is realistic considering you see that a lot irl with trans-type people. They just dive in fully into the other gender to the point where it almost seems like a parody of what a girl actually is vs what they actually are. Like they have to overcompensate so no one suspects they were a dude.
It's just a weird thing to me. But I'll get off my soapbox now.

TBH, the whole story to me is very far-fetched that I just see them as "finding reasons for pron scenes".
Just a bit confused what perspective Dev/MC is on when heavily emphasize "trans" then you have to "become a female" :unsure:

Yeah, I agree that there are of course clear limitations and not everything can be perfect. And I can't say if it keeps you from progressing fully or partly, as I let my character use the backdrop of the story to transition.

And I actually agree with you, what you comment on the other quote. The more far-fetched aspects of the story are really of no real interest to me. That plot with the father, the mafia and so on...eh. I understand that is needed to have a plot, but I like every other part of the game more.

That's why I never take plots in porn games too seriously unless it's a well made VN. :ROFLMAO:
Tho it's some detail / perspectives that feels really weird. Like the whole auction: I mean, that's just an asshole, there's no ass-hymen in there is it?
Also why "virginity" when you are already a slut and selling your services everywhere. :LOL:

Why do people include something this horrific and disgusting in their porn games?

What do you mean? A poor resolution image?
Probably because the dev is using specific porn stars as visual representations for specific characters and in doing so have to work with what they can find.

If you are meaning something else then be more specific with what you find "horrific and disgusting" and maybe you'll get an actual anwer.

No and you already used it *a lot* with dildos and being pegged. At least in playthrough in with you indulge yourself. I know that you can even lie if you never had a "real" penis in there, don't know if they would be able to tell. Never tried to lie, maybe in my next playthrough.

the male "option" is just there to tell you that MC had another option, he could stay as a man and still save his dad, but MC choose to become a woman in the end. This is like in some female mc corruption games, fmc usually have a virgin/good route for a good ending but there will be alot less content.

To my understanding, this good path is usually for people who plays both path and, for those people, knowing there's a "good" option usually makes the "corruption" path more enjoyable.

I do agree that there should have been more reasons for MC to accept his feminization. And why does his bro/friend, who obviously likes women, suddenly have a crush on MC even though MC is still very manly. However it is difficult to find something that hasn't been done in perv education, secretary and many other trans/sissy games (hypnosis, misleading therapy, medications, etc).

Speaking of limited choices... is there a way to "save your girlfriend" from her teachers ?
I mean I know it's possible (since the game propose it if you want to skip the beginning of the game) but how ?! If you resist the progression of your story with her is stopped and if you refuse some actions you end your relation.
It's nice to give the player some choices and some limitations in them but being forced to make some ultra-specific choices to have the path you want is quite frustrating.

As long as you push back against anything she does regarding that class and protect her from his quite abusive way of teaching, she will not be under his spell and you are on the girlfriend path. There shouldn't be any problem.

Does anyone know if we can get bottom surgery at all yet? I'm still curious. I've had it come up and I always said I'm a trans woman or I'd love bottom surgery, but I pursued Katie so I don't know if that hurt me for getting it.
