I had the same frustration and astonishment, if I rejected David at first, then how is it possible to go on date with David later?So this game started out very strong in my opinion, but during the past hour or so of playing there's been nothing but frustration building up in me. I'm going to hide it all behind a big spoiler because this will definitely contain a lot of them...

If you can't be bothered to read through all of that, I don't blame you. It's a lot, and a decent chunk of it is just me venting. However, if you haven't played this game yet and you don't mind spoilers too much, I really recommend you at least skim through what I wrote here. I can't imagine there aren't a lot of people who feel at least somewhat the same way I do about certain things that happen in this game and to those people, this might serve as a warning.
Exactly.. I don't think I've ever played an AVN that gave me + relationship points for a character I already rejected and without me making any kind of decision in order to gain said points...I had the same frustration and astonishment, if I rejected David at first, then how is it possible to go on date with David later?
A sudden twist that spoils the mood of the game.
If you're playing the Bad Girl route, why did you choose David over Michael? He's the bad boy, and by not choosing him, you get David automatically. It's really simple, have sex with Michael during the party, and David doesn't get a look-in. He just becomes a guy she occasionally talks to at work.So this game started out very strong in my opinion, but during the past hour or so of playing there's been nothing but frustration building up in me.

While all fair points Zara...it does have issues you cannot just explain away with random theory to fit a narrative. You should be able to ignore both David and Michael. You can't. There is supposed to be a lesbian route...but there isn't, and most of the content on the not lesbian route is gated behind a male route.If you're playing the Bad Girl route, why did you choose David over Michael?

Lucas, is all about the cheating. Victoria can't become a cheating whore, with nobody to cheat on. And Lucas is naive and stupid enough, for even a girl like Victoria ( who is hardly devious), to pull the wool over his eyes, with barely any effort. He's the perfect fall guy, who virtually nobody will feel too bad about being betrayed, since it's very difficult to like him. And he pretty much gives her an excuse to begin looking for other options, by kind of splitting up with her intially. Enough so that even Victoria, can begin seriously doubting whether they have a future. And of course, they don't have a future. Because if they did Lucas would feature in the relationship stats as well. The fact that he doesn't, shows that eventually they are going to split up. Once the Dev has had fun, getting Victoria to tease the fuck out of Lucas, and probably starting to enjoy cheating on him ( on the bad girl route at least).
That sex scene at his uncles, was important to demonstrate to Victoria, that Lucas was never very good in the bedroom. Back in her small home town, he felt like a big deal, because he was the son of a well-off local businessman. But in Big City, he's a fish out of water, whilst she's growing in confidence and totally out of his league. That sex scene brought everything into sharp focus for Victoria. Afterwards, she knows that Lucas can't satisfy her, the way other men in her life can. And she realises her feelings for him have changed, and she doesn't really love him anymore. But she feels guilty, because Lucas has given up everything to be with her, just like she asked him to. For a girl like Victoria, it's only right that she gives him a chance, even if she doesn't really want to. We know that ultimately she's probably going to dump him, but at that point she's not sure, and she's worried that Lucas will be so hurt, that he'll do something really stupid. So she makes, what is almost certainly the wrong decision for Lucas and her, but the right decision for the cheating part of the game, and decides to carry on being his girlfriend.
Later, we get the beach scene with Lucas, plus Harry and Miles. And that demonstrates where Lucas really fits in, in this game. With Victoria, teasing and messing around with both guys, right in front of the hapless Lucas, who is too naive and unobservant to realise what's really happening. One assumes this will eventually lead to Victoria having sex with other guys, with Lucas totally oblivious that his girlfriend has become a total slut, and gets off doing it with him in close proximity. So I think that sex scene with Lucas, at his Uncle's apartment, played a very important role, for what was to come.
Where did the dev say that there's ever going to be a pure lesbian route?There is supposed to be a lesbian route...but there isn't
I don't recall him ever expliciitly saying so...but then there would be no need to be able rack up an impressive amount of 'lesbian points' would there....Where did the dev say that there's ever going to be a pure lesbian route?
One of the things I don't like about this game, is that the Dev doesn't acknowledge scenes that have already happened, at least on the bad girl route anyway. I just played the scene with Ben, where she sucks his cock, and acts like it's the first big dick she's had in her mouth, when she's already done it several times with Michael, once with Kris, and twice with Mr Stevens all of whom have very big and thick penises. So not acknowledging those scenes on playthroughs where she's already had a fair bit of experience, doesn't make a lot of sense. What is the point of her getting bad girl points, if she never becomes one?While all fair points Zara...it does have issues you cannot just explain away with random theory to fit a narrative. You should be able to ignore both David and Michael. You can't. There is supposed to be a lesbian route...but there isn't, and most of the content on the not lesbian route is gated behind a male route.
I like this, but it does need a serious rewrite and soon....because at the moment, it's all over the place and yes, any type of forced decision taken out of the players hands (when it involves a lewd scene) is never a good idea if the Dev wants to have any long-term future.
That aside, like many a recent VN that has 'certain' content or 'debatable' content, the dev just needs to come out abd be honest about where it is heading and what his vision is. Would save 90% of these conversations straight away.
If you saw the slut points I have accumulated they are more than double the lesbian ones, so it doesn't mean anything.... You're the one who thinks there's a path and hopes that this will happen.I don't recall him ever expliciitly saying so...but then there would be no need to be able rack up an impressive amount of 'lesbian points' would there....
The stats give that distinct impression, and he's never said that there wouldn't be either.Where did the dev say that there's ever going to be a pure lesbian route?

My slut points are more than double the lesbian points, but I still believed there was going to be one, and initially hoped to have such a playthrough, as well as my bad girl one. Why have lesbian points in the game, if there's no specific way of using them?If you saw the slut points I have accumulated they are more than double the lesbian ones, so it doesn't mean anything....

Lots of VN's give you the option to 'tell your BF you have a headache' lol....I find this even funnier on a FMC game...so can still cheat etc...but you can avoid the BF you have been lumbered with from the start (which starting a VN with a pre-existing relationship is always, always tricky, so you need ways to get out of it/avoid it if you wish).Regarding Lucas, thank you for taking the time to write a detailed explanation but I have played the game so I already knew all that. Just because there's an explanation for it doesn't mean it's automatically a good idea for there to be a forced sex scene in a game where most (if not all) scenes can be avoided if the player doesn't want them to happen.
There are plenty of ways the developer could've shown us how Victoria starts to realize that Lucas isn't the one for her, and by adding an unavoidable scene they chose the worst possible way to do that.
