I do think this game needs some more drama (Just a bit, not total tragedy to scare off an average player), in my humble opinion it makes plot a bit more believable and spicy. Too lighthearted stories are not intended for long playthrough, player needs some emotional punch to be not bored to death after a while.
But ofc People are different, so I understand it's not working the same for all
I agree. This story needs more drama. Perhaps bring in some mafia elements. All the best VNs have mafia themes. Or sci-fi. This VN should have at least one of those! In fact, devs please just start over with a sci-fi mafia-themed VN. With lots of drama. And blackjack.

Hmmm. If the sounds include moans and the like for sex scenes I sincerely hope there's a separate volume slider to mute them. I hate when they get bundled with Music.

But other than that potential exception I'm definitely looking forward to the update. I have high hopes for the dramatic reveal. Of course Jenna's and Jolina's scenes will be nice, too. ;)
There are separate music/sfx sliders

The idea being our patreons can tell us what works for them and doesn't.

Incoming Baby Shark-track loop for the angry/hate fuck sex scene.

I've been playing this game for a pretty long time now, with the first playthrough starting as the man-slut. Things were cruising along until around chapter 16 or so and I figured out that the man-slut was untenable as a final ending. I even understand why the developers sort of encouraged the man-slut route because it gave access to a lot more information to the player.

I have been slowly replaying the game as a single romance of Monica. I have done my best to not do anything lewd with anyone else, although it has been hard to so do. For instance, it would be hard to break Jenna out of her shell without encouraging her to know that she is beautiful, and to be more comfortable with her body image.

I only have one issue with the developers. When one of the women that I have no interest in comes on to me, I am really forced to turn her down flat, with no explanation. This usually causes massive degradation of like/love and lust. Not once have I been given the option to say, "I'm sorry, I'm in a relationship already, and it is an exclusive one. You're very beautiful, but I'm already committed to someone else", rather than "Leave me alone, I don't want you". Never had the ability to say anything remotely similar to that, which might mitigate some of the hurt feelings from being turned down.

Has this ever occurred during a playthrough for any of the other women?

Hmm, I will keep in mind the possibility of "i'm exclusive" as a method to turn down other girls when we go over the dialog/code after we finish the game and prepare it for steam release. Coding for something like that can get messy. As for relationship/lust, you don't really need them unless you are dating a girl. It doesn't come into play a lot otherwise. Also as we've said before here...

I like the way game shows sharing thing, like "yeah ok, nice, but maybe no, you'd better choose, I'll cut your balls" :LOL:

This game is going on for a very long time, but I am a bit disappointed that in 22 episodes so far, the animations are very few. Nowadays a game with only pictures is a bit too old-fashoned in my opinion.

Besides Debbie and Jenna, who else do we think is getting some love this update. I want to see the return of Theresa and finally get a chance to confront Elaine

I'm not waiting any longer due to more animations. One animation per woman during each chapter (that they're actually featured in) is fine.

Not one woman -- one animation. One animation for each lady that gets any sort of plot development at that time only.

This EP is pretty jam packed, literally and otherwise.

After episode 23 is released how many episodes are left to wrap up the game? I heard it was 25.
Hopefully, I always thought more than 25, but Cheeky seems determined to get it in 25 + epilogues... hence this now 17K plus line episode :D
