Are the images supposed to be in english? Mine are not (like the ovary grade and stuff)
It was a simple MTL translation, the images are full images with no separate text to run through the translator and get replaced. One post above yours is someone who has started to translate some of the images at least.

Yes, as I mentioned a few posts up, I outlined it in the OP of the ulmf thread, here:

Does this mean it has a readable translation now?
Not necessarily. I've seen some complete shit tier MTL games on Steam, so being posted on Steam is no guarantee. I also can't guess from the video or promotional images on steam which it is, because they aren't in English. Someone will have to bite the bullet and find out I suppose.

Whelp, bit the bullet... Still the same MTL word soup, but at least now the menus are translated. Ridiculous that Steam makes no note of broken translations on the store page.

even the images?
The images, as I mentioned before, were all still the original untraslated images, so there was no way to tell.

If you haven't already returned it, I recommend leaving a review saying how bad the translation is to help warn off other people.

oh, you meant the images in game. Since it's apparently the same terrible MTL translation, those won't be translated. They weren't before anyway, and if they didn't bother improving the MTL I doubt they took the time to translate the images.

I liked the game overall, but boy was it depressing at times, when MC slowly despairs, and one by one the other victims around her disappear.
The "good" ending is also so forgettable that it might as well not exist. It's pretty much equal to "might as well not have played".

I agree that it did get rather depressing with how thoroughly it ground the MC down.

The "good" ending is basically nothing, because the only way to escape is completely counter intuitive and basically requires that you the player look up how to do it somewhere else.

Part of that is that, as it says in the ending, literally nobody has every actually escaped after being cursed like this. You are the first if you do it.

My personal interpretation is that the only way to escape the curse is to lean into the curse just far enough for it to weaken a bit, and then escape. Most people put their all into resisting, but the way the curse is designed, that only makes it stronger, and by the time they get offered a "choice" at the end, they are too broken by their curse to actually escape by leaning into it. The curse has too firm a grip at that point.

Also, while the "good" end is rather boring in of itself, it's presence helps drive home the breaking of the MC in the normal "bad" ending. There was in fact a way for her to escape, but she didn't manage it. If the good ending wasn't there, then the lack of agency takes away some of the despair because if the only ending availible is the "bad" ending, then it was inevitable anyway, so there isn't any need to get upset over things. The possibility of escape has to be real to help drive home the despair of the bad ending.

It's a good thing that there is a "good" ending, but I just wish that it would've been an actual even small challenge to get it, like going down to lvl 5 to get that key.

I can't talk for everyone, but for me it's usually more fun and interesting, if you have an hentai game with corruption elements, where you can either go the "easy" corruption route for the porn aspect, but also have the potential choice to go the harder "pure" route. Not saying that it is a mandatory thing, but just more interesting.

Also while it's true that it gives more impact regarding the despair in the end that there was a way to "win" and have a good ending, it's kind of bad game design that that ending is hidden behind talking to the same npc 20+ times, and most people will just assume that MC was always destined to lose :')
