I'll try another one...
as of every one writing here, it's my personal opinion....
All in all an interesting game, but it is very murky on direction. Like you learn pretty quickly that bein a dick unlocks a lot more paths, but that isn't 100% true and the game kind of conditions you early on to believe it is. So you can end up missing out on more content because you were an asshole or even if you were just too much of an asshole when being only a little bit of an asshole would have gotten you more.
Some sort of true...
The situation of the storyline is, you are in charge of that brand and you got the advice, you have no choice with the employee's nor the money by company to hire someone.
So you have to rely on the team given and solve serious shortcomings. The company headquarters doesn't care how, as long as money is made.
Means as in real life: you could be an absolute asshole but have to deal with the human reaction for it. = income drop, strike, someones friend has a gun, ....
... the last drop ....
Recognizing, most of the last steps feel like "you couldn't do that in real life without consequences". But you do, as you would like to read the whole story and be conditioned from other novel.
(e.g. Melissa ladder. It's tempting, isn't it... but I shouldn't... it's a game.... well, I do... why does she never smile at me afterwards? Isn't she happy that i sticked my fingers into her? huh...
good that MC's charisma and eloquence help me out when Melvin shows up ... In reality, after that stunt, most would run. That's no option for someone known...)
... Just saying....
It also has issues with content routes that require there to be other content to play off of. Like Cecilia who I foolishy spent too much time talking about "the old days" to boost affinity and now that I'm at a stage where Michael Sam is cheating on her, I have nothing to talk to her about.
yeah... maybe that button should just be hidden when dialogues end came. Let me call it something like "cosmetics".
The mechanic is, you get a certain amount to get more affinity. = no endless option on purpose
When you will do it, doesn't change a thing that you may (beeing badass) have to do it.
I also seem to have locked myself out of content with Whitney somehow. I was doing the breast exams and got to a point where I needed a picture of her full frontal with her face in it and then she stopped working at the office. Based on the image files, there should have been a sequence where I got said picture and used them to blackmail her while she still worked in the office.
Honestly, that's new content and you were the first mentioning it. Trophy for you !
On my next run, I've looked for it.
Thx
Let's call it v0052 loose end.
I think, only a few got that far. And lesser were writing about on F95....
I also fell into the Miko Corruption route very late and it feels like there's nothing there when she asks for toys. I could be wrong, but I didn't see anything on here about it or in the hints page.
Wow! Miko... toy... I thought I'm the only one

TLDR Has a lot of value here and potential, but the murky road and how some routes can be locked out if you progressed too far is aggravating.
Developer is aware of and I think, he made a gigantic step towards players by writing and programming the +hints for each quest for the release of v0052.
For v0042 you had the quest name and quest log only.
Each girl has text and choices. This isn't a linear novel with less than a handful chicks, you know....
If it's written on paper, ...
What I would say is it's a huge work to get half a novel for one of the girls into 3 sentences so that you and me could figure the solution. ... rl most ppl couldn't do so...
Very BIG respect !
He lost patreons for delay but was working further on on the hints to finalize. He made step by step releases to have more content fixed and ready for a broader player amount...
... just sayin ...
