thank you for the kind comment! i'm glad the story worked well for you.
there were a couple ways i thought about taking the story with irradiance but in the end i think i wanted her to just be asexual, with her interest in the sex driven primarily by its utility for the community, and for her to have a kind of almost detached/analytical perspective if that makes sense. i think this is a kind of fun perspective to have in the game as it's ultimately kind of how i end up feeling about my sex games... like, yeah, there's sex, but is it getting the job done?
the difficulty is turning out to be an interesting facet of the game. so far most of the feedback about it has been negative, which is extremely fair imo... i am very glad to hear it mostly works for you.
