Just played the latest update. I was pretty excited about it, as Myrtle is
mah gurl.
In the end...
eh. The sex scenes themselves hadn't
that spark I was expecting. My take on her, from the previous update, is that she was resigned to her life without a husband and the MC would change that a bit. He did it, but it felt... dunno, not how I thought it would be.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first part - Junior's help and the escalation of Myrtle's bravery. I liked that they both helped each other to fight off the wolf; it's pretty rare to see it in stories. The link with Rose and the toy-making was refreshing for a porn game and it was clear both girls had some sexual tension between themselves (at that moment, I knew there would be a scene between them and the MC in the future).
It was nice to see so many customers at her door!
But the blowjob being 'not sex'... c'mon, that's pretty much wrong. Myrtle is not that innocent! That really broke the suspension of disbelief. She still had feelings for her hubby and I sincerely doubt she'd do that (or, even worse, the handjobs later). Still, a game is a game, so let's carry on.
The road trip was nice and, finally, we started seeing Myrtle change her mind about the entire ordeal. It felt organic and within reason;
she finally accepted that what she had was better than bringing her hubby back and dealing with the awkward situation. The scene with the tree was awesome, too! Quite unexpected and a nice twist.
(I'm glad it died, as I started fearing for Rose's future!)
The last part was the weakest one, I feel. It's basically a collection of sex scenes with a bit of flavor text. A great visual reward, but after a quite well-thought storyline, the 'ending' felt a bit lacking. There could have been more conversation. As others have said, the 'harem' acceptance doesn't strike me as Myrtle's type at all.
X-Men Evolution: Rogue-Like deals with it a bit more... feasibly (can't say 'realistic', of course
). Well, it's a harem game, but I guess she could be more... jealous? That would make it more believable - differently of Rose or Lana, which I'm certain wouldn't care if you're with other girls. Holly, on the other hand, seems to be closer to Myrtle and a more jealous girl (in fact, suggestion: Myrtle and Holly could have each some special sex scene after they get wind you've been with other girls earlier in the day
)
Also, regarding the sex scenes, overall: she's too passive. She never gets on top or does it sideways. It felt like all scenes were barely variations of the same type. Only the lastest 2 (
river and window) are different, and the latter wasn't much to speak of, to be sincere.
Finally, kudos to the artist (as always). Can't get enough of Myrtle! And to the entire team, as well. this game is getting great recognition and it's well deserved.
Oh, an extra thing: the scene with them together in bed transitions too fast. IIRC, all other sleep scenes require a mouse-click to change. That one stays up for 1-2s and quickly fades. As it is the BEST sleep scene up to now, I kindly ask for you guys to fix that for the next update.

Some highlights of the update for me:
1. Now that's a nightgown! Wouldn't mind seeing a girl every night in that
2. And this is why I like Myrtle so much. Snuggling-type girls are best girls!
3.
And it was at this moment he knew... he would fuck her!
4. This was the moment I lost my sides
(it's pretty far on the story, so beware)
5. A pretty sweet piece of art. It's quite placid and warm. Also, hooray for reading-type girls!

That said, there is something really sad and the worst crime of all in this update:
The MC barely plays with Myrtle's breasts! COME ON!
I wanted to see those melons kissed, sucked, grabbed, and motorboated as much as possible! How can we get just a single scene with them getting interacted with?!?
I know there's a titfuck scene in the works, but that's not the same thing...
