This would've been a great and really enjoyable game if it wasn't for all the feminist bs.
By the second "men are destroying everything and only womyn can save it!" I was rolling my eyes (the irony of that is mindblowing since it's men that have built and created pretty much everything in the world around us), but by the third, Madison and her bar, I was ready to start bashing my head against the wall with how predictable, unimaginative and annoying the narrative was.
And of course there is the constant whining over the "old boys networks". I mean, seriously, the only thing missing was screaming about the Patriarchy and about how oppressed women are. Wait, actually the latter was done. So, yeah, patriarch still left and since I'm still not done with the game yet, that might come as well.
And of course all men, except 2 or 3, are utter sleazes, assholes and can't help themselves but molest women. Even JED got the asshole treatment by day 64!!! Alex, who is doing worse and saying shit to his PA that I would just gape at that is deep into sexual harassment territory, gets away with it cause he's rich.
The VN has potential cause it's got funny stuff like sex cults, hucows and stuff, really hot well-rendered girl like Kari, big boobs, many different choices and storylines, and even save vague system of money management that trutfully only works for the first hour or so, lust meter that at some point just stops working since there is NO SEX possible and you're stuck at high lust levels (I was near lethal level during BBQ), but it's the feminism, political indoctrination and virtue signalling that sinks it for me.
Another issue is the already mentioned lack of sex in what is an adult VN which is critical since high lust will affect your decisions - soon you don't even get the chance to masturbate anymore to relieve it (that are sadly not even that important in the long run since you can't affect the major plot points) and the fact that for some choices that are not straight-out simping for a girl you get punished by too harsh drawbacks for them. Also, some women that should be 40 years old look barely 20 (Omega looks early 20s, etc.), while others that are 35-40 (step-mom, forgot her name) look 50.
Good example of spineless simping is "invest into titty-bar" - the MC makes condition that Kari not work there anymore because he doesn't want his gf to be ogled, especially when pregnant, then instantly buckles at the slightest resistance, claiming "I'm impressed by how much you care for her" BS. Ashamed with how weak that makes him (and me) I rather went for the loan option.
Sorry, dev, but I would like the MC to stand for SOMETHING. Instead of constantly buckling to the slightest female pressure and push-back. CEOs are alphas by job description, not omegas! Can't imagine CEO running a business if he's got no spine and no balls and is being dominated by people that are not even his employees, but are ASKING FOR HELP.
There is also the serious lack of interaction, especially romantic, with Kari, who is your main love and the reason for the story's title. For a really long time there is basically no romantic content, then when it starts the pacing is completely weird, once you start dating nothing changes, you're just roommates that occasionally at scripted points have sex. There is no affection like between a normal couple, no goodnight kisses (especially when it looked like they would happen had I made other choices), no PDAs, not even regular hugging, kissing or just enjoying each other's closeness.
It's just MC that spends his entire days at the office with Lois that gets more screentime than Kari for some reason, and is basically chasing other women or is BEING CHASED (guessing he's surrounded by golddiggers cause money and power is really the only thing anyone can say about him) even when I explicitly took choices that should've kept him monogamous in his relationship with Kari. The dev seems determined to mess up my intentions and is doing everything they can to throw Lois (or other women) at MC and having MC show interest even though I do everything I can to prevent that. I'm starting to wonder what's the point of it, since the dev seems determined to sabotage it and make this game a harem thing even though they pretend they're giving us a choice.
Which was just impressed on me with a sledgehammer right now on Day 65 when I had to CHOOSE A PETNAME for Lois even though I'm not in relationship with her (which was the condition for the same action for Kari)!!!
Also, simply too many women chasing MC for no particular reason I can imagine other than his status (the cast being flooded by women is ironic since every woman I know complains if the workplace is mostly women and would like more men, they describe such gynocentric environment as too toxic and claim men make better coworkers AND BOSSES).
Good example, Kayla's tongue attack at the end of BBQ, that came more out of the left field than the impregnate-all-women-to-live plot. Also some of the lamest sex scenes (Kayla's deflowering where the MC just jumps on her and puts it in without any foreplay or anything, then the question about Kayla being on pill even though she didn't even mention it before).
2 stars only because of hot girls and the lovable sweetie that is Kari that saves the game from being deleted from my drive completely on her own, otherwise it would be 1.
