That's great to hear thank you! In this first game Sam is still coming to terms with his sexuality and attractions, it takes place over the first few days of moving in with Michael. So there's not too much time to create very deep bonds, but there's plenty of guys where there is a lot more of an emotional connection before anything potentially happens than with Darius, which is obviously a hookup so sexual from the start.
The other sexual experiences all start from regular real-life scenarios before turning to intimacy. Hopefully that answers your question!

So glad to hear it stems from real-life scenarios! That's a step up from so many bara VNs out there in which characters start clapping cheeks for some nonsensical reason. I mean it's still hot, but it can be so absurd it borders on parody.
If you don't mind me asking, how long is a single playthrough of the game? And will the VN be highly replayable?
Yes definitely, a big focus for me was to keep things mostly believable/somewhat grounded while of course still getting Sam into a lot of situations that involve sex.
Single playthrough of the game is roughly 3-5 hours depending on how much of the optional content you engage with (finding and reading the hidden stories. Chatting with guys on Findr, watching full vids etc.)
I wouldn't class it as highly replayable as it's mostly a linear story with off-shoots and slight differences based on choices, things like if you're the top or bottom etc, so could play it twice/maybe 3 times to cover all the options but yeah not super replayable in the sense you'll see completely new things on each playthrough.
Hopefully that answered your questions!
