Started strong, exquisite writing, beautiful art, great characters, light and friendly just what I want from VN's. Ended in a train wreck. what makes it so much worse is how amazing the writing was right up to that point.

spoilers:

At the pool party, a character that wasn't nearly as "screw loose" in my play through as the narrator makes it seem does something unforgivable. Not only do we not have the power to correct it, but she was evil mastermind enough to put in safeguards. After that I started skipping ahead looking for any resolution, where I could finally reverse the awful and unknown things she did and protect others from her evil. 

Spoiler: just stop, it doesn't happen. The narrator/ creator admits that this turn was much darker than they intended and pissed people off, but the game still doesn't tie up the story thread at all. As far as I can tell, your friends remain with unresolved and unknown commands, and the villain remains at large.

It literally killed any interest in the rest of the story for me. I'd say you'd have to rewrite a bunch to get it back on track to the light and fun romp it was before, but it would be 3+ chapters of editing just to fix it, and I doubt that will happen.

At least put a warning in the announcers first intro about "btw this game takes a seriously dark turn around the pool party, stop at that point if you aren't into that, we won't be resolving that story thread"

**Tried to be spoiler free but still read at own risk**

See, I disagree with all of the hate. The character's 'flip' wasn't that much of a surprise to me. In fact it seemed rather obvious considering all the hints that were dropped. Then again, I've dealt with unhealthy obsessive people in the past. So maybe I saw it coming from past experience. Again though, I also disagree that it kills anything. If anything, this makes me want to finish the story even more. Having an antagonist who uses the 'heroes' own power against them is a good plot device and makes the 'hero' rethink their own use of their power and if they've abused it or not as well.


Yes, this is a  'pron' game and what not, but it's still also very much an interactive story. And stories need antagonist, twists, turns, and character development to be successful and this, well, this is a good story. Even the cliff hanger and being unresolved (for now) is good because you know something is coming and there will be a conclusion and depending on your choices, well, it could be good or it could be dark as hell.


Personally I look forward to it, and I feel bad that the author gets as much crap as they do for it. Yes, 2020 has been shit and we could all use an easy win, but c'mon. The story is great. I'd read it even without the porn.

Im not saying this even makes it a bad game, but the tonal shift is so sudden and imense it's like reading a my little pony novel and suddenly slender Man is hunting them through the forests. It could still be a good story, but you should know what you're getting into at the beginning. "Acting lessons" was another vn I would have noped out of if I'd have known the themes and direction it would end up going with.

Maybe I missed a warning somewhere, but it really ruined my personal enjoyment at least, I'm glad it didn't yours ☺️

Maybe I went a different route than you did. But there were many hints dropped. Even when you first meet her. Then you're told information about her back in school. You get to see personality shifts in a certain character when not around her which contradicts what she tried to tell you about bullying. It was very much built up too from the start, at least in my opinion.


 I'm sorry it ruined your experience. If it makes you feel better you seem to be in the majority there. I'm in the minority who actually enjoyed the shift and looked forward to more of a confrontation, which seems to have been put on hold. So I'm looking forward to it in the future!
