Took my time but I finally played this update, and boy oh boy, I think we reached PEAK WRITING. The H scenes with Gloria are some of the best ones along with Violet's, I really REALLY enjoy reading that their relationship with MC is vastly different than how he "feeds" from mind controlled dolls. I know it sounds weird being an H game where we're essentially playing as the demon of Lust, but the vanilla romantic scenes really stand out the best here. THAT'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT BABYYY WOOOO--
That being said, the quest itself is also amazingly written. I didn't get at first who "Anne" or "Alexandra" were, I just thought they were random NPCs like the townspeople from MCs flashbacks. But when I finally realized later, I had to reload a save to re-read the scenes again with the new perspective. And that got me thinking about how much detail actually goes into this story, it's amazing. It's always been good, but when it comes to the world building aspects of the group it just reaches another level. I'm constantly wondering about their past experiences, relationships, unique abilities, quirkiness, and every time the story delivers answers to exactly that... I end up gushing more than with the H scenes themselves NGL.
This particular update has gotten me thinking now about their names. Like, they seem to follow a certain convention or patterns. Always using the same first letter, could that be because of their original names? (since I think it's implied they weren't always like this, they were humans at one point before). But Hikari goes against that, it doesn't start with A not even in the translated form. Also she's the only one with a Japanese kind of name, huh? And what about "Gramps"? Are we ever going to know his actual name? Does he even have one or has he disregarded the notion completely for some reason? And why were Gloria and MC the only ones in the flashback that didn't change their names? Or was it that they were the first ones to do it before the others? SO MANY QUESTIONS! And I love it!
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I just wanted to point out some of the things I've been feeling since I started following this game long ago. Thank you very much for sharing it for free, and f*ck those bank bastards that try to censor masterpieces likes this one.
PD: there seems to be a bug in which, after choosing any option with Gloria wearing her uniform, after the scene ends it changes immediately to her in underwear. Have to change back to her uniform manually every time, which is a little annoying.
