Hm... I generally enjoy this game but I do think there's a weird lack of significance of choices. For my first playthrough, I wanted to do a strict Rashid route, meaning I was very intentional about not choosing options that resulted in hearts with anyone else, but then scenes don't play out that way.

For example, the threesome scene with Rashid, Halim, and Adnan plays out the exact same way regardless of whether or not Adnan has ever looked at Halim as anything other than a good friend. That doesn't make sense to me. I get being like... lust drunk or whatever, but even being horny doesn't make having sex with a best friend you have nooooo romantic interest in something that wouldn't at least lead to some feelings of hesitation. It also kind of like... pulled me out of the Rashid route vibes. It would be one thing if the scene felt purely... transactional between Adnan and Halim, but the writing was such that it felt romantic between them even though that was something I'd been very intentional about avoiding, which is... disappointing. 

I think the VN could've benefited from more attention to those kinds of things depending on the path the player's on (it also adds something to the replayability because even if the CGs are the same, the scene itself reads differently)... Something to think about for future projects, I guess.

Hi, thank you for your insight!

However, when Adnan reaches the threesome scene he's still in the common route and has never thought of Halim as other than a friend, no matter if he has opened up to him more or less, depending on your choices. Their feelings for each other don't take a romantic turn until his route has already started. During the threesome, there aren't really romantic vibes: by that point, Adnan is fond of the two of them, but nothing else.

The common route is exactly that, common, so of course the scenes will happen regardless of your choices. The affection points are only important to branch the game at a given point.
