The thing that confused me was, these vines are applied to your character and others by Padmiri and they apparently prevent you from making any actions during that scene, and this is fine and understandable. But then after the scene ends, you're told Padmiri is going to leave you like that... yet somehow you magically gain ability to move around and perform (some) actions again. How, it's never explained or addressed. So it creates impression descriptions and effects aren't on the same page, and something bugged out.
Also, having the ability to do any real talk disabled for that day (including the social phase) doesn't make you "play extremely carefully", but it prevents you from playing the social part of the game on that day at all.
If it's all intentional, then these feel like extremely harsh penalties for just choosing scene option, and given you don't gain anything in return it effectively renders this option pointless -- the player might fall for it during their first playthrough, and even if they don't just reload right there and then, in subsequent games they're bound to pick instead "fuck it, am out of here" or anything else that doesn't just ruin entire day worth of training for zero gain. I mean, you give the player a choice between smashing themselves in the dick, and not smashing themselves in the dick. That ain't much of a choice at all /s
On separate note (a propos of dicks), i like the positioning/actions things this game uses; sparked a few observations, tho:
* kind of surprised me oral interactions are limited to one-sided dominant/submissive arrangements, and there's no 69 position for equal opportunity oral actions
* for herm characters mutual penetration tends to be very common in the game (like, multiple times in nearly every encounter common) but in "reality" it's pretty hard to pull off as it'd require quite specific body arrangement, sort of a reverse cowgirl and 69 crossover. Simply so the body parts can line up instead of getting in each other's way. So it might make some sense to have such mutual penetration as specific (CA) that's only enabled in such separate pose (maybe the 69 one if it was added) and limit regular mounting positions to either penetration or getting penetrated, but not both at the same time? It'd feel less jarring this way.
