I think Procedure of game story line is depended on mc chose path(Mc Cheat on his GF with milf. . . That suppose to be called lose of control right ?).
Developer was very clear about making a choosing based relation : I mean choices are there if you want to fuck other lis and start a relation with all of them, some of them or only one of them :
That also can be called self control and choosing depending on the character which player like Or Mc losing control will be like fuck everyone and just forget their personality or character of lis.
Two of the choices game Highlights(Loosing control in a way) that : 1. Trying to get harper and her daughter too.
2. Sex Tape choice
Your Words were : "Still never the less the game sure isnt merely a fuck em all sim to a degree - the story tries hard to develop most of the cast "
I : I agree but developing a relation(Between Mc and lis, Example : Harper and Mc) should be more on focus now. . . Well it's personal POV.
POV ON Azel : Her importance to story should be like a driving force for mc to get success in other words mc must have seen her struggle in past and now when mc can have everything, Mc suppose to support his family.
Thanks to god she is not an Li and that's the correct way.
