To add to this, I was so focused on the gameplay that I didn't even notice the portrait on the right changing until the third level. Gameplay should be fun, but it shouldn't interrupt the porn
I think mixing them is fine and works. I do think having a little more time both to see the portrait and to actually play the game would help, but Im not a dev. I just noticed that I was so focused on playing in order to keep up that I was having trouble appreciating the sheer amount of work put into the lewd even in this early demo. I had to actually be willing to lose to take time to notice things, which is not a great thing since no one wants to have to lose.
