Okay dipshit – I gave you a chance with the color code bullshit…
IT. DOES. NOTHING!
It’s just a way for you to tell the player in that absolute BULLSHIT PSYCH exam that SHOULD NOT FUCKING BE IN THE DAMNED GAME AT ALL = IT. DOES NOT MATTER. WHAT CHOICE YOU MAKE PLAYER > THEY ARE ALL WRONG!!!
= Brave – you will take risks that WILL eventually make MC pay for it.
= Cruel – People are GOING to hate you, because eventually they WON’T excuse it with it’s for our survival.
= Smart – you dumbasses think this one needs a bloody retarded TIMED minigame… why?
= Kind – People are GOING to screw you over and think they can get away with it. Brilliant.
> You dumbfuck: are the one that forced us into situations where we HAVE TO KILL.
> YOU are the one that programmed Alice into “nearly getting raped” JUST TO PISS THE PLAYER OFF!!!
> YOU force a bullshit NTR scene with Ethan and Elisabeth (who SHOULD BE PART OF THE GODDAMED HAREM – FUCK THE IDEA OF GIVING ANYONE ADVICE = ASK ME IF I WANT THE GAME TO BE HAREM CONTENT; THEN MAKE THE FUCKING GIRLS ACT ACCORDINGLY YOU RETARD! >.<)
> YOU INFECTED THE FUCKING MC… AND PULL BULLSHIT WITH HETOCHROMIA or whatever the hell it’s called – JUST TO PUT THE MC against the fucking wall and tie an anchor to his ass.
>>> YOU ADD CONDOMS TO A GAME WHERE PEOPLE ADMIT THEY WANT KIDS! I would strangle you in real life for that level of retardation… It’s a part of the harem END GAME! Jesus. It DOESN’T matter if the ending is internal if you use a condom; and if they “love” MC or are so grateful or want him that much: MAKE IT PLAYER. FUCKING. CHOICE!!!
> You DON’T know if your audience HAS been through psychological profiling wherein the shit you wrote to mind-fuck someone MIGHT piss us off (and by the way – SHE GETS PAID TO FUCK WITH YOUR HEAD FOR A LIVING, TO GET A REACTION ASSHOLE > THAT’S WHAT THEY DO. They even mind-fuck themselves to think they know how any given brain actually WORKS. Come the fuck on!)
** The soldier pointing a gun at MC for getting riled at a bullshit instigational question DESERVED TO HAVE IT SHOVED RIGHT UP HIS GODDAMNED ASS = AND MC SHOULD HAVE HAD THE OPTION TO SAY I’M NOT SAYING A DAMNED THING UNTIL YOU TELL ME IF MY MOTHER AND SISTER ARE HERE. SO WE CAN ROT: OR YOU CAN TALK. You want to talk about super powers… DON’T MAKE ANYTHING A FUCKING OBSTACLE FOR THE MC [AND THAT WOULD PROVE HE FUCKING HAS THEM. Gah…]
Every. Single. Choice. In this game. Is fucking WRONG. That’s all you’ve got.
Alice, Amber, Ms. Greene… they will all act butt hurt because YOU don’t just straight up write this bullshit like it’s OKAY to build a harem… BUT IT’S IN THE FUCKING TAGS!!! Which means you PLANNED for it to BE THAT WAY.
Fix ALL of this – or you can fuck absolutely right off, and so can any other game you might ever create. The premise is retarded, the world WILL DIE or everything on it WILL EVOLVE to adapt to not having a sun/colder temperatures; and YOU know this. You CANNOT KILL THE MAIN CHARACTER OFF WITHOUT ENDING THE FUCKING STORY. How are you any sort of Writer if you DON’T know that?!? For all of these reasons I DO NOT CARE WHERE YOU INTEND TO GO WITH THIS PREMISE ANY MORE. I am done.
You had your chance NOT to fuck up the narrative beyond belief for at least two past updates, and you can’t manage to not want to tie any anchor you can think of to your MC’s Ankles and toss him headlong into a river. So I’m done. I’m tired of giving all of you mental midgets too many chances. I’m done.
Reading your comments is fucking wild, every time.
I haven’t played this one since version 0.25 and at that time there was no incest, harem or NTR.
Now playing this 0.40 version, and I can tell you that it is still true; there is no incest, no harem, and no NTR.
Whatever tags you see on the website should never be taken as complete and total truths for every part of the entire game, for example a game that might have both NTR and harem tags on it are there because there are multiple different paths to take in that game, this allows for either replayability or for those that want to choose only the content they wish to see, it’s about providing more options and the tags on the website are there to let people know what they can expect to find should they wish to seek it out.
The section where you can choose to eavesdrop on Ethan and Elisabeth should give you the option to walk away or stay and be a voyeur when they start having sex, but the fact that they are having sex does not automatically mean that it is NTR. Elisabeth is not a character that the MC can get with. So, if there is a harem, Elisabeth will not be part of it.
The section with the psychotherapist is completely normal in a situation like this. You’re showing your great big red flags when you talk about wanting this MC to go batshit insane and kill the guard here. Personally I would have preferred to have more choice over not just what is said, but also how it is said, the guy has clearly experienced something awful and has trauma about it, but that doesn’t mean he gets to lose his fucking marbles over it.
As ever, I advise you to take your meds and relax a little, screaming into the comments section here won’t do anything for you, you’re not providing feedback for the dev, considering that they don’t come here so they will never see it, and honestly that’s a good thing because you’re just going on unhinged rant after unhinged rant, especially with all the namecalling and insults you throw out left and right. Maybe instead of bitching and moaning about every little thing in these games, you should try making one yourself, you seem to think you can write better, so do it. Whether it’s in a visual novel, kinetic novel, or just a text document, go ahead and write your own story, let me know when it’s done and I will give it a fair shot.
I don’t write games. I write novels. I’ve tried writing games; got screwed by the company who wanted me to write the game – as a site editor for about 2 years of pro bono work (that I was admittedly eventually paid for – though I’d also argue potentially underpaid as the site was run in a different country than mine, with different currency values. So to them, it wasn’t. To me, it was possibly) They actually contacted me twice – after their first attempt tanked when I told them I couldn’t work on a day they wanted me to as I had other obligations. The second time didn’t go any better than the first, for PHYSICAL health reasons. Just in case your blockheaded ass gets any bright ideas. I’ve since decided that I’m not going to attempt to get into contact with those people again. I CAN write in the vein they want me to, but if I’m going to I want to be paid the amount I am worth in MY country’s money. Which they said they couldn’t afford. So there’s no point.
I have completed several series. Note: Series. Not just novels. Over 37 in fact. They are finished; but the only way you’d get to read them is to buy them, and I can’t afford to self publish even one book – nevermind the number in some of my completed series’ – at about $21 – 25 k a piece. You want to foot that bill, I wouldn’t mind publishing my work. Until then, all you’re doing is being a mouthy little asshole. The same as you accuse I’ve been. The difference being I guarantee you, I can do it more verbose, and in ways you probably won’t understand.
The tags are there because the CONTENT is there; the fact that you CAN eavesdrop (watch – not just eavesdrop – you have to walk away if you don’t want to see the actual Incest) means the content IS there. There is NTR if it is a harem game > and she was ever intended to eventually be a love interest (like if Ethan oh, I don’t know – bites it. In a dystopian future where the sun is fucked… and bio organic psuedo science BULLSHIT is effectively going to turn everyone into mutant zombies… Including the fucking MC. Because he was literally infected. For, reasons… Not GOOD reasons mind; just reasons) * Also want to point out “infection” does not work Halfway. He IS infected, and potentially resistent. Which might (if it worked like an actual pathogen/virus) become immunity, or a viable workaround in mutation (like vampirism in some stories) It’s still stupid until the Devs bother to EXPLAIN to the audience why it ISN’T stupid, and what good should actually come out of it. Like Superpowers… Hence my “he should do X apparently overly violent/insane thing” rant, according to you. Because the dev coding his friend to get nearly gang raped/making MC beat down and kill the hell out of those two dipshits was somehow SANE?
You can disagree with me all you want Asswipe: you DO NOT get to tell me to take meds. You don’t know if I was at some point NOT given a fucking choice. You don’t know me well enough to know what my “red flags” are, nor will you ever. You don’t know how many doctors I’ve been to, trying to take care of my own mental health – who ALL got the diagnosis WRONG because no one even knew I was Mid Range Aspergers until I was 30. You DON’T get to judge me for stating my opinions, or advise any one medically = until you present us with your fucking doctorate that tells us you’re bloody qualified to do so… and even then I’d tell you exactly which window you can go jump right out of. My anger is MY burden. Your opinion is neither warranted, nor wanted.
It’s NOT “losing” his fucking marbles. It’s a world were you’ve ALREADY been encouraged to take VIOLENT and CRUEL actions in DOMINANCE (Were you not paying attention? Did you actually fucking PLAY the damned game?) A violent reaction to the judgmental as fuck CORNER the damned DEV is KNOWINGLY WRITING HIS OWN MAIN CHARACTER UNNECESSARILY INTO, is not either HIM losing his marbles, or me having a red flag. It’s ONE potential course of action.
And by the way Numbnuts: the MC can pursue 3 women at least (with the white haired girl probably on that list soon for a hat trick, with possibly more incoming) so yea. It’s a fucking Harem. By raw definition of at LEAST 3 – IF they all agree on the fact he CAN fuck them all = and they should if they want to A) be under his protection and B) KEEP fucking him at all – then yes. It’s a god damned harem.
You don’t have to agree with me, but you don’t get to talk to me the way you have without me taking the same shots. So here’s my answer to your “take your meds” Give them to me, and I’ll shove my fist with them clenched in it so far up your ass YOU’LL be the one to feel the effects of whatever bullshit chemical reaction YOU think I need. Then we’ll see how “Chill” YOUR jets are. I’m fine the way I am. It’s called VENTING asshat.
The game has actively dumb mechanics, SHIT writing, and is doing FAR too much to be punitive to it’s own CORE character. Literally the DRIVING FORCE of the game. As in: IT DOESN’T EXIST WITHOUT HIM! The girls are supposed to be a DRAW – they’re NOT going to be that to most people that play these games to Fap, if they can’t even agree that they WANT to fuck MC… while expecting him to be the protective “white knight” and bend over backwards keeping them all ALIVE! There’s only so much of the bent over bitch to earn “good boi” points most of us will tolerate, in GRINDING to earn the right to see those scenes. Then DEV pulls a bait and switch overly emotional “He betrayed me!” three ways, scene because the girls who all WANT to fuck him, and have been passive aggressive as balls about it; all find out he’s been TRYING to fuck all of them. And somehow despite being the most capable/domiant and leader type they have who WILL go out of his way to solve their BULLSHIT, they think they can just kick him to the curb or threaten him/emotionally abuse the fuck out of MC and he will still CHASE them afterward? No HUMAN thinks like that. But you’d rather tell someone you don’t know they’re “insane” by implication than take two seconds to rub the one and a half brain cells you have together and THINK about anything in the plot, in CONTEXT.
There is NO way for him to get out of the bullshit HOLE the devs have put this bastard into. Not without exposing his INFECTION. Not without risking those he cares about – and probably not without becoming Swiss fucking Cheese. There IS NO story when you go this far out of your way to ham-string your own LEAD character. Jesus. And there’s NOTHING worth it in trying to find the other paths. The girls will treat you the SAME way, if you go for more than one of them – and there’s NO good reason NOT to, if they’re in a game like this. That’s the Dev being a Dick. Knowingly, to punish those who WANT the game to be a harem. When it’s CODED like it CAN be – SHOULD be, and is factually right there TAGGED. Probably not just on this site. I can go look it up on another – I bet you anything it still has Harem as a tag. That argument is NULL. The incest thing is Heavily Implied as yet, in expectation and to most Harem lovers it will still be NTR implied if the Mom or Sister character have other love interests. [Because the only reason they exist is the AUDIENCE may want to pursue them as Love Interests * And the Devs would pull such a thing KNOWING that. So it’s NTR flagged if they go there – and if they don’t; they’ll probably try the same overly guilting judgmental as fuck crap that put Radiant on such a crawl to get any development]
I’ve played both ways. The kind – Kind outright TELLS you it’s GOING to fuck you over, for trying to be kind, which it also implies for being bold or cruel… – and intelligent ways forces a dumbassed minigame (that I did save/load to beat) and denies you any actual DOMINANCE content. Staying home with the best friendo takes you on another path that involves several people who aren’t your high school friends just for it to randomly end up in the same damned place anyway. Because the devs couldn’t be bothered to actually go ALL IN on branching path narratives. The characters that AREN’T your classmates if you stayed home have literally NO actual relevance to the plot. Why? The violent/cruel path at least allows you to be Domineering – but then it pulls the Psychotherapist bullshit out of it’s ass to JUDGE you. Why bother having it in the damned game then? We weren’t the ones that put it there. The CONTEXT of her being an “authority” figure with NO actual protection that should be able to get to MC before he can rip her throat out… should’ve had her as a trained ” therapist” with any level of survival instinct know that there are buttons you DO NOT PRESS. And if the dev had half a fucking brain cell they wouldn’t have added a mom and sister – just to INCREASE THE TENSIONS against that Button, unnecessarily. But sure… I’M the one that needs to “take my meds.”
Go fuck every inch of your own ass, without lube, with the sharpest, longest most lethally large implement you can find or purchase. Dumbass.
First problem – you took away the NOTEBOOK so that people CAN’T find where to keep track of their stats in this update.
Next: There are TOO MANY stats that are basically there for no really good reason. (There are at least 4 seperate personality stats that really don’t need to be beyond two or three – and they are designed to fuck the player over for any other options)
Next – You have Ethan set up as already having two females vested with him (and his Mom FUCKS him while MC can see it happen > without any ability to walk the fuck out of the room, or else INTERVENE = This. IS NOT. Harem!) Do you want Ethan to be the MC?!? Because if so why the hell have us name the blank slate with personality points?
Last problem (it’s a DOOSY) You fucking INFECTED him! IF there is already a cure; fine and fair enough. If it’s some bullshit premise to explain away additional super powers later in game, whatever. In the actual SHOWN LORE of the game = you just killed your main character. Without explaining to the audience why you DIDN’T just kill the main character. No Bueno.
** There DID NOT need to be Condoms in game. At all. If they want to fuck in a DYSTOPIA; they can fucking well deal with the idea they might genuinely NEED to REPRODUCE. And should only do it with people they WANT to reproduce with… (Also: Incest DOES NOT WORK in a setting with an already reduced populace. Unless you want Humanity to end up like the Nugs from Dragon Age) – The condom thing is also counter to the notion of MC “showing dominance,” or the females being Submissive to him. You don’t have the excuse of realism bud; you broke the fucking sun to do space zombies. There’s fuck and all realistic about that. [Do the condoms on the BLUE and GREEN route > logic tracks. Pull Condoms on the Red and Black routes – doesn’t really add up]
There was also no real reason to add a stay home route > it ends up finding the same path, just a bit screwy in earned points (you don’t actually earn points that I saw to influence anything lewd with the random people that show up when you stay home with little Miss Best Friends Means Benefits) ** I will also point out putting males with them, even just the one puts players that WANT it to be a harem on the back foot for NTR content they likely DON’T want to see. It’s not necessary. (And as above: Ethan’s Mom DOES count as NTR if this is meant to be a Harem game)
= Do NOT cock tease a mom and sister character just to yoink the audience around. They are either alive and you want them to BE in the Harem eventually; or they should be DEAD and you let the MC grieve accordingly. You only get so long to treat them like Schroddinger’s Cat, before the audience will tap out in giving a shit. I’ve played enough of these games to know what you’re doing with those two. You either WANT incest content or you want to dick around those who do. Pick one.
Let’s see if in a week, this actually goes through. I’m not liking the odds.
