i like the game, girls look great. Although, MC should have more freedom of choice to choose if he wants to pursue a girl. Choices are there but not enforced enough. Maybe having 3 paths, a yes path, a maybe path and a hard pass path for pursuing a girl. I played the game in two ways, harem and pure isabella path.
Avoiding every choice except Isabella path, only to see all girls upset with me afterwards doesn't feel right.

I just finished writing the script for then next chapter (Chapter 5) and there will be a lot more branching of the storylines based on your decisions, and you will be able to actually even stop certain paths completely. Also, all sex scenes will be optional starting in Chapter 5, even those with Emily and Isabella. It was necessary for the plot progression to make it mandatory with those two love interests, but now it will not be necessary.
For the conference room scene, I somewhat agree with you. Giselle's response actually varies depending on whether you have slept with her or not. She was always going to be amused, but she has more specific things to say if you have have had sex with her. What I should have handled better was Brooke. Her response is the same whether you've slept with her or not. Now, in my mind I thought she would be upset even if you always denied sex with her. That's because she has clearly indicated that she is very interested in pursuing a relationship with the main character. I mean, she offered sex to him on two occasions, so she is clearly interested. So I thought it was okay for her to be upset regardless of your choices. But in hindsight, I should have given her a much more muted response if you never had sex with her. In fact, I think I'm going to change that with the release of the next chapter. That won't help you since you have already played it, but it will be better for folks new to the VN.
Thanks for the input, I appreciate it!
People can have history but not be a whore at the same time - once a whore always a whore, promiscuity is wrong and you can have some history as long as it was in the persuit of finding Mr right without fucking everyone

whats amazing is that even when forced the guy is always the creep when it happens.
Women never seem to wait for any explanation of course in real life we all have choices and are not forced

Since a lot of you are interested in the harem route, I wanted to give you all a tip to ensure that you don't miss out on that option:
Hope that helps!

It helps but is quite stupid, why should it be a one for all choice? It seems completely ridiculous that if you don't choose the whore Brooke you can't have the other 3 or 2 in a harem. Brooke is not a choice many would want and should be completely optional and avoidable - her talent is not one most would like
If you were going to force the readers to have affairs with all, you should have told them up front about the harem conditions
and by the way some interest in a person does not mean you have to have sex

Going forward all sex scenes will be at the player's choice. The whole dynamic involving Emily and Isabella is so central to the overall plot that if I made either of them totally avoidable I would have had to create 3 separate games. I didn't want to do that. You can call me lazy, but the truth is that what happens because of them propels the plot forward. But all the "forced" sex is now over. You won't have to look away anymore when being forced to have sex with Isabella. It hope that wasn't to traumatic an experience.
(and yes, I'm kidding - I appreciate and understand your perspective)Thanks for the input!

Brooke is no longer a whore. I listened to feedback and painfully went back and re-wrote her entire story. And I'm happy I did! I think the story turned out a lot better. Every chapter from 2.5 on has the re-write. Beginning of Chapter 3 even has Brooke yelling at me for originally making her a whore. I'm a dev who listens, and when I realize the error of my ways, I actually make changes. You're welcome.
I thank you for your perspective and I will keep that in mind.
I like that you are a dev that listens, and then does make some changes, thank you
Just one more question about Brookes, if the reader starts a new game - is Brookes a whore in chapter's 1 & 2 and if not in chapter 2,5 onward how is it going to work? Are you saying that she was a whore but saw the error in her ways?

If a reader starts a new game from versions Chapter 2.5 on, then Brooke will never be a whore. Only Chapter 2 was changed - we barely see Brooke just at the very end of Chapter 1, and there is no back story about her in that Chapter. So the only way you would ever see Brooke as an escort is if you played the original version Chapter 2. The re-write was released about 2 weeks later as Chapter 2.5. I removed the original Chapter 2 download from everywhere that I could. Then on top of that, I started Chapter 3 with an explanation just in case there were readers that never saw the Chapter 2.5 rewrite and were confused. MOst were very happy with the way I handled the re-write. Do I wish I would have got it right from the start and not had to do all this extra work and deal with any ensuing confusion? Hell yeah!! That would have been so much better....

You can't please everyone, and trying to do so is a fool's errand and will result in a very bland product at best. But if someone points out something they really don't like, and I actually agree with them? I'm not going to dig in my heels. I might not do a re-write but that perspective may change the way I handle things in the future. The way I see it is, if someone really gets upset about something that happens in my VN, it shows that they are invested and really care. So I listen.

If you were trying to be smart...try again.
Maybe I'll reiterate so people like yourself understand. I couldn't care less if the LI in question is a godamn street hooker, it's a story, a VN...it's not real...(and there is one incredibly successful, top 10 all time VN with a very well loved prostitute LI I might remind you). All that matters is: Do you like said character?
Getting upset over a 'potential' LI's history, current relationship situation...is...well....
