Was going to say pretty much the same thing, and I read your initial comment too. But since you said it so perfectly, there's really no need for me to basically repeat what you said in this post. But I will tell you this, though. I hadn't played it in a while, and I was under the (wrong) assumption, that it in fact, WAS a harem game, and played it as such. So imagine my shock and surprise when the choice about Angel/Wanda popped up, and I refused to go spend the day with them on the boat just as a test, and even more so, now, having to make most of my chosen ones hate me, despite having a good relationship with them, up until THIS point now. Fuck my life, am I right?
And from that perspective, I agree with you that harem/incest games are better, but even in those, it can be a problem too, just from having too many women you're "dating". But I'm gonna take a cue from you, play it from the beginning, and put all my eggs in ONE basket in that playthrough. But, and I gotta say this too, the dev could at least make the break-ups in a nicer way, where the MC apologizes for choosing someone over the other, and them not going psycho towards him over it, but rather accepting the fact that he did choose so and so person, and move on. And like you said, I hate having to choose one over the other, and I didn't even know without a doubt, that it wasn't a harem game, so at least there's that, although it doesn't comfort me much RIGHT NOW.
