it was mostly frustrating because this game was billed as a game where the tfs are not bad ends and i was expecting that to be true and was frustrated when it wasn't. and also the fact it's not even clear it's an intentional softlock at all so i just mashed every key on the keyboard for 20 minutes and then thought it was a glitch that the qte wasn't working. if you're gonna have game overs you should at least throw up a game over screen (where you can still see the animation if people do wanna jerk it to that) so people don't waste their time trying to get out

there's also the fact that i'm sex repulsed and was being forced to look at sex for long periods of time for no reason. like i came to your porn game that isn't about sex because i'm horny but actively hate sex. why are you forcing me to look at sex anyway. i have never understood kink games forcing sex on you with no way to turn it off especially when you can turn individual kinks off. sex is just a kink! and sometimes people are into some kinks but not others and sometimes the others they're not into are sex. and it's. unreasonably difficult to find kink games that don't force sex upon you

No, it was billed as a game with no "game overs," not as a game without bad ends. It's explicitly stated "Live through your bad ends." But, in fact, major TFs aren't themselves bad ends and are reversible. The game is tagged as adult for a reason. It was never advertised to not contain adult scenes.

With the exception of goo wolf ending, which has a rework planned, this is the intended experience for the target audience.

how exactly is a permanent softlock with nothing to do but watch your character have sex with another character forever which means you can't progress any farther anything but a game over? that is like. the definition of what a game over is. being unable to make any further progress without restarting from the beginning or loading a previous save

i never said i didn't want the game to not contain adult scenes at all but i would appreciate being able to skip anything sex related more easily (preferably with an option to auto skip but a skip button would be more than fine too) and also making it easier to tell when you're softlocked and to tell what you did wrong so you can actually avoid it in the future at the very least. i also just. Don't even like the idea of having softlocks at all but i think they'd be less bad if it was obvious they were a game over state at least

You only describe goo wolf and as per my first message it is planned for rework. As I also said previously both animation skips and save system are planned. If you look at other examples lik the pig drone in a good obedience ending you are locked in a pen and you can still eat, rub, oink, and interact with other drones. Some scenarios allow more freedom than others, depends on the species.

If you don't like the game in the current state, you can revisit the game in a few months, or later.
