I held off on playing this AVN until now and enjoyed the playthrough.

The cast has variety, choices and consequences are pretty consistent, and I am curious how some of the paths will play out.

I am trying out a Sarah/Neil path (most content of the male seducers so a way to see how the dev builds the tension).

The path I am most interested in is this:

Sarah gets curious about expressing herself while ignoring her blind spot - she does Not want the same for Alex.

Alex tries to be supportive but is mostly focused on 'protecting' Sarah from the 'seducers' he can see interacting with Sarah - Neil, Eric, and James.

Alex and Emma are getting to know each other better; a guilty Alex does see Emma as an attractive woman (and Emma likes this). Also on this path, Alex rejects Dr. Eva, Abigail, and Jessica so the only woman Sarah currently sees showing an interest in Alex is Emma.

Now for Sarah and Emma...

I chose option 3 here (after she meets Emma for the first time and she is thinking about Emma and Alex) and liked the resulting internal dialogue:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I want to see how a jealous Sarah treads this path (something for her and an increasingly unavailable Sarah is all Alex needs).

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

It will take a number of revs to see more of the paths emerge, but I am looking forward to seeing how the dev does with the possibilities he's created thus far.

All in all - a very nice beginning!

Cheers!! :coffee:

Problem is, even if it happens, it doesn't suit his character how it is protraied. There is not a single deciision in the whole game that is based on HIS wishes, his inclinations, his needs. IN all the reasonings (and they are given to us extensively and repeated again and again in the text) given for his choices the husband puts the wife, her wellbeing, her wishes first or rather: there is nothing else at all. If he thinks about going to the shoot or not, both alternatives are motivated by her: would he give her more confidence (how often will I read this word again?) or will he disturb her? It's not about him, it's never about him. In one word: he is a fanboy, not a lover (and that's what I meant by "weak" some time ago).
Now you could say that's not a problem, on the contrary, that it fits an NTS narrative (but not the "stag" variant, sorry guys). But even his role as a voyeur during the shoot is affected by that: he is there not for an erotic experience if you read his thoughts carefully, but to admire her success to wish for her success and sit there with an open mouth staring at some kind or goddess. That he gets a hard-on is an afterthought right at the end and he seems rather embarrassed. He is not horny really, he has no dirty thoughts, no straight-forward sexual desires a vouyeur in the real sense would have. It's rather asexual, innocent fandom towards his own wife. And this can become a probllem for the character-development even if you don't identify with him as a player (which I don't). Because then there is no (or at least: less) erotic tension, no possessive claim or strong desire which feels provoked. You also could say: nothing on him is a pervert. But if it isn't - why should he let himself get being cucked then?

The photoshoot is the first instance he realizes he has voyeur tendencies. That's why he is surprised or embarrassed. So until that point the main reason for him to be there was to support Sarah. Now that he realizes he enjoys watching he will start encouraging Sarah or even create situations where he can watch ( route #2). And alex will have his interactions with other females soon. And he can do it in behinds sarahs back or with her.

Ummm sir? Sir? Where do his interactions with Emma fit into this narrative of him being merely reactionary to Sarah's main character energy?

That’s my playstyle too — I gave Sarah total freedom and I can’t wait to see her lying, acting, and deceiving the MC behind his back. The only exception was that I made him, and want him, completely faithful.

There are two ways to play for this outcome. One is where Sarah hides her interactions with others from Alex, and Alex stays faithful through his own choices (route #3). The other is where Sarah openly interact with others and Alex takes a more submissive role (route #4)

Please publish a walkthrough for each path. There are so many paths and choices that it is difficult to navigate without a walkthrough.

Hi the dom correspond to what?(betwen them or against npc?).
They work same way on every paths or for example on route 1 dom pts open different thing than routes 2-4 (in my opinion it would make more sense)

Between them and against npc too. But usually it only unlock certain options and you can still choose not to take that option. These options mostly leads to route 4

Becoming a voyeur centers around your own pleasure and lust and makes the other the object of your lust. Up to now his inner dialogue does the opposite. Even if he learns his tendencies only now - he then has to shift his locus of control and attention also.
I don't say I don't like the game - I have no problem with the pace or the update intervals and I found the last outfits quite hot.
