Thanks for the game and sharing. It is really good game.

Why are we forced to fuck that old hag? It feels stupid to put a forced scene in a non-harem game, especially one that isn’t even at the beginning.

And the MC is kind of a loser for asking "Oh, can we stay here?" when he literally owns the fucking house. A better question would be when she can pack her bags.

Was it really that much trouble to code an option to tell the skank in the bar, "No thanks"? I don't put my dick in crazy, and I don't let wannabe dom hags chew on it, either.

If you didn’t have the chance to turn this woman down at the bar, then there’s a strong chance that choice will carry narrative weight later on.

You can also just skip this scene. You’ll still get a choice later on to either pursue a romantic arc with her or walk away from it. Still, at this stage of the playthrough, this episode remains important for the story moving forward.

It isn't just a you thing. It was the main reason I couldn't continue playing the game.

It is so obviously a black dude's hair. It's got the clean line up, fade and texture. But the dude looks white.

I don't even care if the MC is black, it wouldn't be for me because I prefer the whole "self-insert" thing, but at least it'd make sense. This is just the worst of both worlds.

And with how many closeups of his face there are throughout even just the opening, I can't tune it out. I can't stop noticing it.

How does a game with this much work clearly put into it make that amateur of a mistake?

Also, why does the developer think they have to show his face every time he talks? He is supposed to be the player's character. I don't need to see him. The chicks are hot but literally every other render is a close up of this dude...

Regarding the protagonist’s hairstyle:
This style has actually become pretty universal, and it’s not just worn by Black guys. Many barbers give similar cuts to people with a more European appearance as well. If you pay close attention during the game, you can see in the flashback scenes that the hero used to have a different hairstyle, and the current one is a deliberate change of image. Because of that, this haircut doesn’t conflict with his appearance.


Regarding the close up shots of the face:
This is an artistic choice and part of the project’s visual style. Some players find this approach more cinematic, others feel neutral about it, and some might not like it at all.

When will devs learn not to force lewd encounters?
The excuse of it being necessary for the story to progress is the weakest one, because you're writing the story. You're just saying, "This is the best I could come up with."
And, unless it's related to getting her pregnant, I can't imagine why sex is mandatory.

The whole point in a VN is giving the player choices that he would do, asking a AVN player to skip a scene is stupid, I don't care if you can make him change his mind later.

A forced sex scene well my hopes went down I will like the update when I play it tho I am behind I didn't even play part 1 only the prologue

Exactly. When we get choices, we expect agency.

 

[ADAMS Owl`s]

The scene is not an attempt to force the player into an intimate episode. It is a narrative insert that serves a specific function within the story structure. Any narrative-driven project includes moments that set the pacing and help establish the characters’ future relationships, and not every such moment has to be a branching choice.

It is also important to note that this scene does not impose a romantic path on the player. It can be skipped, and later the player still receives a direct choice to pursue the relationship or decline it. The key decisions remain in the player’s hands, and there is no forced content involved.

Every real man either have "buzz cut/brush cut" or "Ivy league" if he want's fancy

 

[Miranha157]

Did it really update? Or am I hallucinating?

 

[SteelyDan14]

I'm confused. I went back through the thread but I am not sure I follow. Do we have to buy it on Steam to get Part 1? The version I downloaded was only part 2 and I do not see another link for part 1.

 

[scaryterry19]

Forced sex scene lol. C'mon now. It's a 19 year old walking into a bar that happens to have a mature woman looking to score.

Given the tone of the game up until that point (everything he has endured), dude walked into one of the luckiest situations anyone ever could.

I understand the dev's viewpoint. It's not so much forced as it is more an event that allows the story to build context moving forward.

Others have responded with good logic and eloquence, but I will respond with less words:

Bullshit.

I got curious, so I played the Steam version from the start.
One thing I notice is that both Kira and Mira are A LOT more likeable now. They still bust the MC's balls and have arguments, but without losing that feeling of still being a family. Especially Mira is now much kinder from the start, which fits better with her behavior in chapter 1. Honestly, I've started to like Mira now, and the heart-to-heart with Kira in the pool was actually meaningful.

The updated dialogue also solves many of the inconsistencies. I appreciate the effort that went into this.

Hermione…
It’s a forced scene with basically no buildup. A 19-year-old guy getting blown by a woman who looks 40-50 before they fuck in two positions in a bar's bathroom.
Some people might find it hot; for me it’s more disgusting than arousing. This is exactly why devs shouldn’t include unavoidable/forced encounters. The whole point of an AVN is to entertain and turn players on, not frustrate them with content they hate and can’t avoid.
For people who are into this content, be warned that there is no cumshot. Hermione tells the MC to finish on her face, but we fade out and go to the next scene with the MC leaving the bar.

The dev states that this encounter is required for the plot, so Hermione should play an important role. I'm guessing she'll be a teacher at the university he'll be attending. But, whatever drama he's cooking up, I still don't see a reason why they actually had to fuck. Even Hermione propositioning the MC and him rejecting her would cause a certain discomfort and air of impropriety. Alternatively, she could be Nova's new employer, which would introduce an element of blackmail even if it's not intended.

started this at the beginning since i had pretty much forgotten what the story was about. the 2 stepsisters? are fucking annoying and i can't stand either one of em. the aunt has something going on that i havent seen yet. still have to finish the new update. at the part where mc is teaching Mira to drive..in a porshe? seriously? this story is pretty ridiculous at times. anyway, mc being pretty fugly aside, this feels like a game by Ocean..similar details, character models and idiotic storyline. at least the visuals are nice though. i hate vn's with backgrounds that are empty. just my initial thoughts as i play through this. wonder if Ocean renamed themselves to get out of continuing those god awful other games they were making.

 

[lawlawkagurL]

I'm curious to play this one, who is the MILF in this game though?
