I noticed you have eight(?) chances to level up each character's attributes, but are their final attributes fixed or could you choose to distribute the points a certain way?
EDIT: So the number of chances for attribute level-ups depend on the love points available for each character. It seems the attribute distribution is fixed, but please correct me if that's not the case.
I'm not sure if the attributes directly affect the ending, however new scenes can be unlocked by reaching a certain level on an attribute. E.g. Submissiveness Lv. 2 will grant you access to the basement dungeon with that particular character for a couple BDSM acts. Shamelessness on the other hand unlocks an outdoor sex scene.
Once an attribute level-up becomes available, the game won't let you gain any more love points for the character until you've completed the task. It's basically a prerequisite to increase their love points cap. You can still interact with them but you'll be notified of the pending action before you can advance with that character.
yeah... See that's the thing. Some sex acts kinda turn my stomach. The rough sex stuff and the bondage. But they're with the characters I love. There's no avoiding them. I don't want Theo to be made into a sub. I don't wanna tie up Elisa. See what I'm saying? But I do wanna finish the game and get their ending. Or at least the ending of the game. I'd be totally satisfied just letting Theo be on top as long as she didn't insult me the whole time. And I hope Elisa has plenty of scenes without having to be tied up. Each time it was time confess to a girl I picked girlfriend route & not friends with benefits or sex slave.
I believe the characters were intentionally written to be into certain fetishes, apart from being closet masochists. I understand your sentiment, but I'm afraid the game was created with a particular target audience in mind. SPOILER: At some point in the story, the characters themselves address their circumstances, perhaps the developers' way of letting you know that this isn't everyone's cup of tea. After all, this is a game where you can create a harem that involves two sisters and their mom.
I guess I missed that memo. I had no idea EVERY love interest was a closet masochist. Even if it was most of them I don't buy it with Theo. Smh that breaks my heart. I literally just thought masochist was Irene and her butt stuff obsession. But apparently this boils down to the idea that strong women of business secretly wanna be "conquered and used and dominated." I don't know what to do now. I have every character except one to level 40 love and most of them are 6 or 8 on harem accepting. Should I just quit?
In their rooms when they put red dots now by the submission and sex skill and intimacy, etc skill levels. I thought if I picked gf lover routes with each character I could avoid making each girl a sub. But it seems mandatory now just to advance the plot. As for the rationale with the harem I believe the mindset came from the women getting to know each other so well they became a family and thus envy and hate of sharing the main character would die out. But are you saying they each eventually tell a story of why they're into being dominated and degrading themselves?
Rachel might be an exception, being the most innocent girl among the seven, only capping at 50 love points and the fewest triggers for harem acceptance scenes.
To be honest I have no idea if there is an actual possibility of a wholesome relationship with any of the women since I chose the harem route, but I also went to create multiple saves so I can pick the other choices for the purpose of unlocking gallery scenes. Each of them eventually revealed certain kinks, but that could be a result of much earlier choices in my playthrough. My only suggestion is to keep an open mind and just let their stories play out.
I thought both Sen and Rachel were innocent. A opposed to Irene who only ACTS innocent.
I guess I'm stuck now. I can't unsee what I saw and pretend the cast isn't what they are. I'm just gonna beat it once and call it a day. I'll pick as few options as I can that sicken me and see what I get.
Thanks anyway.
