Interesting feedback, thank you all for the comments. Yes, it's mostly lesbian scenes right now more than likely (I haven't kept close track).
That being said, there are a few key themes / branches to the story in my plan:
1) Polly & Jack "True Love," story (think Princess Bride perhaps)
2) Polly & Guards, "I don't need to stinking man," and yes, this would be almost 100% lesbian
3) Jack & Briley, as the step-sister is hungrier and willing to do whatever it takes, this would be a mostly hetero path.
Clearly, I need to improve my game-making skills. If you have specific things "hey, it's too !#@$@ repetitive," or other, I'm happy to make changes.
Maybe I should change the title to "Etruscan Princess"?
Even then, I agree, the architecture doesn't match Etruscan more than likely, so maybe it should be, "Anglo Princess" ?

No chance for a 4) Everyone & Everyone "Harems/Orgies are great!/It's Great To Be King!" story? ;P
Seriously, now, though: Honestly, Turkey has a lot more variation in its architecture, with some from Europe, like European-style castles and jettying (the concept of a cantilevered upper floor has existed since BCE, with the concept being referred to as "opus craticum" by the Romans), some from the east in the mosques and other buildings, and some from mediterranean influences, like the Genoese forts. If you make the background terrain even more eclectic than it currently is, you'd actually make it a good Turkish vibe. Turkey also has the lush greenery that Persia lacks, by comparison, so that's another bonus in its favour.
As for specific issues of repetitiveness or whatnot, I'll look into that as I play what you've made of the game so far and see if there's anything specific like that.

There are in fact four endings on my wall of post-it notes that cover the game (I only share 3 of them in public, b/c you know, there has to be some mystery).
As for the idea 4) Everyone & Everyone "harem is great," that could be an option, would take a bit more work on the animation / rendering side but do-able. It would be "it's good to be the Queen," not "King," in this case, as the fictional world wouldn't be open to a King as it is setup.
I'm actually "done," with the post-its on the wall now and need to create a bunch of new ones to flesh out the remaining ~60% of the story so ya, that could be an option as an expansion of the current & planned themes.

Which large parts of Persia actually do, especially the North. Teheran regularily sees snowfall in winter. It is NOT Arabia after all ;-)

It can be close enough for all of this actually, depending on area, at least considering a limited set of assets available to a indie dev. And I am an easily annoyed historian (just to point out I tend to be nitpicky myself). The original PoP is way worse actually. But we very much digress, this is porn after all, we should be glad noone is wearing sideburns, flare jeans and playing wahwah guitars anymore ;-)
Captain Jack Hawkeye? Sounds like a fusion between Captain Jack Harkness and Hawkeye...
Even so they would still be mostly olive-skinned. Even if you wanted to make her have a lighter skin tone I doubt an actual princess of Persia was ever blonde; even if they were to be albino they wouldn't look like that. And don't even get me started on the clothes. If they had made the clothes look Greek or Turkish that would be fine because at least those cultures interacted regularly in antiquity, but they're straight up northern and western European and fantasy derivations thereof. Also Penelope? Is the dev even fucking trying? This is WTF on so many levels.
I'm glad you recognized the inaccuracy of your title. I think you should just go for a generic Anglo-germanic or Scandinavian fantasy theme, especially given the clothing choices you've already made for your characters, kinda like Westeros in Game of Thrones or Midland or Middle-Earth from Berserk and LoTR. You'll draw a lot less scrutiny and have more flexibility.
Yea, I mentioned Turkey earlier in a slightly different context. Actually Turkey would be great because if there has to be some sort of historical context, you could establish a harem consisting of many races within a historical fiction setting if that was a major goal, and the princess could be the child of a higher rank concubine from an Eastern European country that was a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire, who the then Sultan chose to be one of his wives. Also Turkey had more interactions with and had much more western cultural influence than Persia had even when Baghdad was the largest cosmopolitan metropolis in the world. If you absolutely want to stick to a Near East theme with European influences, this is the way to go.

Lesson learned: some folks, when reading a title, will be unable to ignore the history around said title

A lot of us are people with backgrounds in history or roleplaying, or otherwise are sticklers for accuracy, so are you really that surprised at people being anal about that? :^PLesson learned: some folks, when reading a title, will be unable to ignore the history around said title

>get the scene with the queen
The current version doesn't have that scene, unfortunately - I need to re-render those as the images really turned out bad when I rendered them.
>the scene in the kitchen with briley?
So...I shouldn't rename it "Princess of Inca" then either, okay, wasn't on the list of candidates but I'll make sure to avoid that now that I know.
And yes, I shouldn't have been surprised - then again, this is why I am posting here to get feedback b/c it's impossible for me to know exactly what all the screw-ups are with the game or what the most important things are to fix.

I'm African so pardon me for being pissed when people conflate and mishmash cultures. I mean what you did is like having a game titled Adventures in Timbuktu and having everything be Chinese. It's not as much "some folks" as it is you just not giving a fuck in the first place. Just cuz it's fap material doesn't mean the story has to be garbage contextually and substantively.Lesson learned: some folks, when reading a title, will be unable to ignore the history around said title
