Then it make me curious what is the meaning of the sex scene between abigail and neil which is so important to the story:HideThePain:.
Good question but don’t forget he have the power and she is just a secretary who just follows the orders.I have to play the play the update,so I can place it more thing their context.But we know how Neil act with his colleagues.

I guess there's also an outside possibility of Neil trying to get Abigail to move on Alex so he can get to Sarah?

Yeah possible,but wouldn’t be more easy with Emma?
One the one hand, quite likely, yes. On the other hand, Neil might not know that, and likely won't have the same sort of sway with Emma either.
well she is here, so...yes (but please ignore the 1st one:ROFLMAO:)

As you say, ignore the first one... It's a relationship stat, not an LI stat. Yes, obviously this will form a large part of it, but you can't use it as a confirmation of who is an LI if you're going to exclude half of the people on the list (Neil and Victor are also on there for instance, along with any other guys you've met).

Solid update. I think the photoshoot could of been a bit more spicy, not much, just a bit, like wearing just a bra for the top. But I know we will get there. Amy also looks great, and beautiful.

I think one concern is how much focus Sarah gets. She got the dance early on, photoshoot, looks like next update gym. Where it does feel like the MMC is getting pushed aside a bit. Like where are some of his big events, like lunch date with Emma or hanging out with Jessica, or other stuff. It just feels that besides a few flirt instances, or some voyeur scenes, not much else. So hoping that gym isn't only thing next update, and MMC gets a bit more of his own bigger moments soon instead of being so attached to Sarah's moments only.

Also I like that we can remove the quick menu at bottom, wish there was an option to hide the top right stuff, I know we can hide with H, but would be nice without. Other than that, great work still, can't wait for more.

Problem is, even if it happens, it doesn't suit his character how it is protraid. 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 in him is a pervert. But if it isn't - why should he let himself get being cucked then?

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:

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.
