I have the same issue. I see in URM that when Maddie is asked if she's fucking MC, the flashback has the "options" for solo, threesome fuck, or BJ from Maddie. These two latter scenarios seem impossible and were never shown as URM decision paths either.
I just finished playing Whoremonger NTE Act 4.1. Honestly, I'm surprised and I think the game is, sadly, overrated.
I left a detailed review of the positives and negatives so I'm not going to repeat all of that. But I was hoping to ask and discuss a couple of things about the game.
1. In my playthrough (lust paths) where I tried to have as much sex as possible (except with the grandmas), there was only 5 penetrative sex scenes. All vaginal and imo all boring, short. Two of those scenes don't even show MC cumming. Did I miss a lot of scenes? And are you happy with the length of the scenes?
2. The game is tagged as having anal sex. Does it?
3. People are of course physically attracted to different looks, but studies have shown across the population very clear preferences for certain physical features for women. I find almost all the girls in Whoremonger NTE to be unattractive and I suspect that in general most men (not everyone!) would rate them likewise. I'm curious, do you guys find the girls mostly attractive or mostly unattractive? I find Turning Tricks design decisions here interesting, I'm genuinely curious about the thinking.

First off, I always appreciate when someone takes the time to write a detailed review, even if it's just to trash the VN. So thanks for the time spent on that.
As for some of your points...
Don't want to be rude but this is the ugliest collection of girls I've seen in a game. Several are really unattractive. E.g. heavy acne, fat stomach and face, saggy or otherwise misshaped breasts, flat ass, baggy eyes, very old and wrinkled, short/karen hair, etc.
Beauty is 100% subjective, and I was tired of the way these games generally portray women as exaggerated beach bimbos with massive silicone hooters. There's a lot of screenshots posted so it's rather odd someone bitches about the characters when practically every one of them is shown in a screenshot. And that "... studies have shown across the population very clear preferences for certain physical features for women." made me literally laugh out loud. I have no idea who you are, but I never in my life had to refer to a study to know what types of women attract me
5 of the girls are waaay to young, like they're only 11-12. Seriously disgusting, they're prepubescent children.
Your definition of pubescent and prepubescent seems to be different than what my dictionary says. In any case, every one of these characters has been created to be within the age curve the government uses for demographics.
... and ...
Very few sex scenes. No anal despite tagged as anal. (Obviously, using a dildo isn't the same as having anal sex.)
There's also been some slow burn with minor anal-play that will lead to more later (dildos and fingers)
As for your other points, it's all opinion, isn't it?. I mean, I'm not getting rich off this (far from it!), but I have a decent following and every release gets downloaded about 200k+ times (not even counting all the myriad pirate and foreign language websites out there that rip it and pirate it) My animations sucked at the beginning - very true - but they have come a long way and are now decent and getting better every time I do another one. You also don't seem to understand the whole concept of indie made games by people just learning how to do this shit. I started this particular VN about 3 years ago, but then it was shut down for a year when I got de-platformed. So I really have only been working on it continuously for about 2 years. It's not a job, it's a hobby that is slowly growing bigger, and I make it perfectly clear that I am making a story I want to tell, with characters I find realistic and not just regurgitating Victoria 8 models with big boobs and all the ass sliders cranked to 11. In fact, I just started learning Maya and I hope that before very long, I'll be able to make my own characters and import them into DAZ.
Anyhow, tags and screenshots are there for a reason, so for you to come in and play through the whole thing, even though the screenshots show all the models that you find ugly and the tags say stuff you might not approve of, then take the time to leave a trash review.... well, that speaks to me like someone more interested in just being seen and heard.
Anyhow, I'd be glad to provide a 100% refund for your purchase, if you wish. Just show me your receipt
I have to respond to this. About the models, I like them. Are they atractive to me.......yes in the way of different than 80% of all other VN around. And then the most important part of the game, the story. That is solid enough to be different than other games but still creating a familiar feeling. And yes, of course I can see some more opertunities to improve the game. But come on, let Turning Tricks make a game he likes and so a lot of users with him(As you can see it's rating).
"100 % of the study participants declared they prefer women with ridiculous oversized breasts and an ass like a horse's! And the study participants were ... me"
BTW: More than 200.000 downloads. That's impressive, I think.
prepubescent means pre-puberty, puberty begin 8yo in girls, so you're telling me in this game there are female of 5-6-7yo? really? what game you played?

I thought about puberty for girls as in when first menstruation starts, perhaps that's wrong? First puberty starts on average at 12.16 years of age. (Reference: Herman-Giddens et al, 1997. Secondary sexual characteristics and menses in young girls seen in office practice.)
Girls under 12 are way too young for me. What about you?
Long-ass review, half of it subjective, half factually incorrect, just to shit on someone's work... why? Disappointment? Frustration? PPenvy? If this game really worth just two stars, I was genuinely curious what would they rate other games, but their profile is hidden, so no chance for comparision.
Anyway, only plastic dolls and imaginary people can be perfect all the time. Even the most beautiful 10/10 model can look less attractive on off days - if you ever woke up next to one, (or any girl whatsoever) you would know. Real people aren't perfect - so a cast of less than perfect characters make them appear more real, which helps with immersion. It's not rocket surgery. Also beauty standards depend on cultural norms and shift over time, so claiming authority on who and what is attractive is as laughable as it is meaningless.
Those people who keep pressing the skip button until tits show up of course won't understand why people like this game. This shit has an actual story to tell, with an actual structure - it's still porn, but an ambitious one. The long-ass intro is there for a reason - to get the audience in the right mindset/emotional state. For basement dwellers - who occasionally still wander outside and see 3D people - it has a lot of immersive, humane moments to hook onto. For those who already lost their connection to humanity, maybe not so much.
The relationship with the stripper is one of the high points IMO - she has more depth of character, than some of the conventionally attractive women I have to interact with IRL. Also Gregory. Its already refreshing for an MC to interact with male friends in a porn game, but for anyone who went through real shit alone... well, it was an experience that stuck with me. I hope the player will have a chance to pay him back in a meaningful way, that would be nice.
The animations could use some work, but that's an artistic skill people spend years developing, so I would rather have more updates than wait for that.The game has its flaws, but at least it's a project with an actual end product in mind, not just another endless patreon milker or soulless ai slop. All in all, it deserves its high rating, but if you alredy lost most of the blood from your brain when you play, then you might not enjoy it. It might not be the best for a quick fap, but if that's a main priority, then why not just watch real porn?
200000 downloads with less than 200 subscribers sounds depressing. Is that a common ratio nowdays?

Why do I have a feeling that it is like, someone who really hate horror movies because those movies are scary. But then watching a horror movie, and then complaining that the movie is scary and for that reason giving a bad review. The tags pointing to the content.
And about apperance, if you would have said that it is not your taste, I would have respected your opinion. But then refering to a study that all people don't like those apearances is not attractive.....walk on the street all kind op woman are there, and most have a partner. A partner who loves his/her wife, also how she looks.
Oh and by the way, the first menstuation age has significantly lowered due to the current lifestyle and addatives in food. Your research source is almost 30 years old and not accurate anymore.

More than that. I graduated high school more than 30 years ago and girls my age were before 12. They are 50-51 now (the ones I went to school with.) And anyway the young girls in the game are teens.
When I upload zsync.exe into virustotal it says its a trojan. Is that normal? (Ive seen this in other ren'py games too, is my computer just infected and it corrupts all my ren'py games?)
zsync.exe is part of the Renpy engine, so it's easy to compare it with the official version - determine the engine version by looking at the game\script_version.txt file, download the corresponding SDK from the Renpy website (

), extract the zsync.exe file from it and compare its contents with what's in the game. You can also upload it to virustotal - it also compares them by hash. By the way, please provide a link to the virustotal report.
I asked for a link, not a screenshot.
Do as you see fit with the comment.
Update
I don't think I'll be seeing any links (and I can guess why), so I uploaded zsync.exe from this game to VirusTotal

. I also checked that the file matches the one in the Renpy SDK v8.3.2.
It is noteworthy that in two places in the virustotal report it is indicated that this is a trusted file - (Known distributor) File distributed by GB Patch Games and a large Code insights insert, where everything is explained, which you did not include in your screenshot. You didn't even need to google anything.
Don't play dumb. You took a screenshot of this report. All you had to do was copy the address from your browser bar — here's the link to the report, I included it in my post. You can compare them.
Everything is clearly written in this report, but for some reason you felt the need to Google something else.
You need to look on the bright side of life more often. Every annoyance you see online isn't done maliciously. I thought you meant that there was a way to download the results to a file when you said report, since it doesnt say report anywhere on the page. Also though it was a private address, like if you login to your profile and link it to someone it will show them something else/nothing.
From the page you linked, I still don't see "trusted" mentioned anywhere on it. Just saw stuff like " Verdict: LIKELY_MALICIOUS Confidence 100/100", which spooked me before I realised it was spam.

I don't know what you're trying to prove, but it's obvious that you either don't read the information on the first page (or don't want to) or have difficulty understanding it.
But I think you're just a troll, so I'm ignoring you.
