No fiction works are completely adapted from reality. Take Mission Impossible for example, when did the last time you witness a field agent hanging on a plane except in the movie? It's quite unbelievable in real life, right? Tho, it's still entertaining. I agree on the using of the undercover names which is a miss from the dev but not very significant, at least for me. In writing, the characters do stupid things, let their feelings and emotions involved in their job to create the dramatic storytelling, which is really unprofessional if we consider it in real life. But once again, this is a work of fiction, a drama to be precise. I think the early rejection of the mission which could lead the 3 characters live normally would make this VN less unique and very ordinary. Instead, I think aborting the mission midway after realizing they're underqualified for the job would be a better plot/background than rejecting it first time. MC, Clara, and Anna (probably the seemingly main antagonist and the traitor of the team Leon, too) trying to find the truth and surviving while being chased down by Specter and even their own agency is a very potential exciting storyline. It can focus more on the fetishes without abandons the thrilling side of the espionage world.I suggest that Sinful Dev add an early "Bad ending" for this game, which is rejecting the mission from Director Paula. This way the 3 characters can just live their life normally because it is clear they are not well-trained for the mission. I just had the "Game Over" screen where Clara died protecting the MC cover from being blown because he is that stupid immediately hacking into the Specter servers on day 1. Anyway, Leon is a double agent working for Specter and that is so obvious, although Specter itself isn't such advanced crime outfit anyway. Every IT infrastructure that is connected to the internet can be hacked remotely, no need to send a mole inside Helix, unless of course Helix itself is a front for Specter. Will try the other choice and the 3 POVs next.
I think Sinful Dev should just focus on the fetishes and less about the details of the story, less text than currently in the game especially since most of them are not believable, for instance why does 3 agents go undercover and use their real name at Helix, why are there no other employees at the HR department, why are the secretaries of the CHRO trying to access encrypted servers?
Edit:
After exploring the other choice and going through the 3 POVs, the story/plot is a hard pass to me, the trio are definitely not well-trained for this mission and Clara herself is not the experienced secret agent woman as she claimed to be ( trained by the SIA since she was 10 ). I will check future updates to see how fetishes are going to be presented.
