Honestly -> Next Patch i guess i need to start completly over and take my sweet time to enjoy the dialogues/story because i did skip some stuff in the early versions. NTS (and NTR[involved]) Games tend to be dragged out at the beginning often, because they try to do a build up. But for me 'personally' it's also important that i get a feel of the tone/vibes of NTS Stories before i invest much, because it can go into different direction like beeing really wholesome and lighthearted to absolute degenerancy to darker tones where it (almost) gets into NTR territory.
IF the overall tone keeps up as we have now (or atleast choices matter and effect the outcome / overall tone), this Game will be potentially a Gem for me and one of my favorites in this Genre/Kink.
Especially this update convinced me on that because i really like how:
- The Wife really cares about you -> obviously possible subject to change the further she get 'corrupted' but i hope they will follow it through (atleast with a choice) than superb.
- Also (unlike some previous commentors) i do like Geist for now, he seems to care about the wife (maybe even that his interest in her goes deeper as that), and it does kinda make sense to me, that he would be weirded out at first and have concerne if the people who he helped with, indulged in such a thing. People shouldn't forget not everone can grasp the concept of NTS/Cuckolding (that's why we've often debates on the forum here, when people mix up NTR with NTS and so on...). But even further:
- Especially because of that i really like that the MC stands his ground and goes head on Geist. We don't play (atleast for now) a wimp, who is super beta and 'scared' once someone bigger/stronger shows up, but someone who set boundaries and fight for himself and his wife... (which is IMHO most likely the most healthy way to have a NTS relationship, when you set rules and boundaries and being firm about it) which i honestly really like.
That's why i've to disagree with the sentiment of "randoms are so better" -> i find with people the cast know it opens up to more possibilities to explored, because of how it shows how people will deal with the situation. A random, not known dude can be story-wise just be a quick fuck and than moved on... but people they know and can be potentially part of their daily lifes have a lot to explore how to deal with the situation. And that's why (for now atleast) i find Geist was a pretty great choice/concept.
So yeah, so far i really like the Game. Redheads with Green Eyes are my weakness to begin with, and if they really follow their 'plan' (in the dev notes in the original post) that it won't be hard ntr except the what ifs, and keep the vibe/tone up, this will end up great and definitely one of my Favorite NTS ones.
The only thing which really frustrates me, and i don't even want to blame it on the devs because i understand the itch to have a proper build up, that it will take a bit until we finally get to proper scenes but who knows maybe the next update, esp. after the confrontation, might go a bit faster.
