Lol, as I was typing up this post, the dev posted some news. Thanks for that. I would be one of those players that dislike humiliation directed at the male MC. Cheers! Anyway, back to what I was typing... ^^"
Did a blind playthrough using the public version of this game for the first time. 3Diddlyf95zone has definitely grown as a developer from his first game and comics. The writing is pretty good with only few grammatical mistakes, and the images are nice to look at overall. Plus, there are Easter eggs from his previous works in this game.
Having said that, I believe I encountered a route error in the game. I admit that I'm not a fan of NTR or wimpy male MCs so I appreciate that 3Diddly included a pure (but naughty) love route and an NTS sharing route while seemingly not making the male MC deficient in any way. Thus, without making any rollbacks or selecting other choices I generally played the game that way -- the male MC being an upstanding guy while pursuing the female MC but avoiding any NTR situations being telegraphed despite being enabled. This generally worked and I've enjoyed this first playthough.
So here's where I think the problem came up. At some point in the game, the female MC will ask the male MC advice about which job she should take full-time -- with either Davies or Jamal. On this run, I chose Davies of the binary choice given. However, I've been switching the influencers from time to time as I played the game. Just prior to this point, I had Katie (and by extension, Jamal) influencing the female MC. Going forward with the game, the game said Lee was the influencer and could not be changed (but it was still set on Katie). Thus, instead of seeing developments with Lee and Davies with the female MC, I kept seeing situations involving Katie and Jamal instead despite avoiding the bar. This seems like an easy fix, but I suspect it would be true if Lee was selected as the influencer and if a player recommended to the female MC to work with Jamal. Just a heads up to the dev as I don't think this was actually intended to work that way.
Good game so far. Cheers for not railroading players into content they might wish to avoid. That takes a lot of effort.
