Honestly, I have no idea why anyone still tries to make sense of the story or characters in this game.
Seven years of development, and there's still no solid foundation, narratively or visually. Whatever tiny fragments of plot or design they manage to scrape together get reshuffled or tossed out in the next update anyway. It’s like watching a glorified slideshow made of pretty character portraits, where the concept of storytelling was quietly abandoned years ago.
This is supposed to be the “more adult” one of the two eternal season one projects? If this is what you can expect from this very mature game then imagine the other one. Maybe a one week in game season means decade irl time in this dev’s language.
What you’re looking at is the textbook result of a developer propped up by a overly hypedriven fanbase with zero expectations. They’ll cheer for anything and that’s exactly what they’re getting: ANYTHING.
What actually awaits you here? Changing characters, barely any story progression, and absolutely no meaningful choices. Just a hundred LIs, frozen in perfect light close-ups, while you get to awkwardly breathe into their face every second slide... or, better yet, watch eagerly as some random dude gets handsy with them instead.
If that’s your idea of fun, more power to you. Just don’t expect anything to change not this year, not the next. This is the game.
And sadly, that’s not even an exaggeration. Just take a look at the other game. The dev doesn’t give a flying f*ck about actual progression. He is trapped in his own perfect imagination where the only goal is to make the LIs shine and everything else that could make these games enjoyable is simply forgotten.
The pattern is obvious by now: he’ll keep remaking, and rewriting as long as it nets him some extra profit. Meanwhile, all that extra funding over the years? Never translated into actual progress. And everyone can see it — if they’re willing to look past the smoke and renders.
