Great summary.

You didn't mention the part with the Hive, which (in my opinion) is an extraordinary mix of horror and sexual arousal.

But yeah, this game is at a rather lonely high place when it comes to lore, world building and storytelling but especially also by integrating the lore into the sex scenes. I would even say that even Game of Thrones wasn't as good as this in this respect. Honestly.

And the depth of the discussion in this thread is icing on the cake in my opinion.

Yeah, hive is surely nice erotic horror experience with rare for MC sub vibes, just didn't mentioned it to make my post less... "wall of text"
Game is well balanced indeed, action/porn/story.

To me, the hive part is the first time in the game where I thought "hmm, is this a good idea? Is it going to bite me in the ass later?"

And also, this kind of scene in a porn game, or any kind of erotic setting, is extremely rare...

It does set the game even further apart from others...

The way that Hive scene went down was one of my favorite moments of this VN so far. Starting out with that shot of Ivy in the back of the truck as the team discussed the plan. Once they're inside, the quick escalation with the ominous red glow and heartpounding dissonance, then quickly cutting back to a reprisal of that Ivy shot... only this time, she's bloodied.

So fucking well done. It was really neat way to cinematically convey that shit went south. It's this kind of stuff that set the best VNs apart from the rest.

I really hope that this VN doesn't go the sharing route, with males, with any of the LI's. It's been one of my favorites for a while and sharing my wife/daughters with a cuck char like Omar just doesn't seem to make sense for the MC.

Of course there are those that like that sort of thing and the Dev might add it in as optional. As long as it's avoidable for those that don't like it, everybody should be happy.

they are not going to force that on you. The first sharing scenario you come upon in the game allows you to choose and then from there on that variable is used to determine if more sharing scenarios are presented to you. You are safe if you do not like that content.

Does anybody know if there is a way to get the galleryunlocker.rpy Mod file to work via the Android APK version of 0.11c?

I tried to package the gallery unlocker file within the APK before transferring it to the device, but Android 13 x64 won't let me install the app with that file added, for some reason... (although Im sure it was stupid to try that in the first place)

game already has like, what, three sharing scenes? and they were all optional. so a sharing scene with omar is possible (I'd say probable) and it also won't be forced. nothing kills a game faster than forced sharing or especially forced ntr lol, the devs are not stupid or cruel :) no offense to people who like ntr obviously, just stating the facts

It was great, and I am itching to see more of badass Zaton taking heads and sh*t. Id love to see the focus changed to the missions with the different factions. Even if the sexy times have to take the back-sit for a while. And the stakes can be raised with an impending war, rebellion or something else. No need to make about some dude competing for Zaton´s ladies.

DS brother, let us not get carried away now.
I love the missions yes, but there is no reason why we cannot have some sexy time even during action-oriented episodes (or at least during down times...it is AVN after all). Also, the mixture of the two (sexy time and action missions) is already being done expertly right now imo. I would not change focus at all. There is even a good mix between large and small missions.

I like having missions that are sometimes more cerebral and subtle than brute force (even though brute force is really fun). Having a pitched battle, assault, or enemy fortress infiltration every episode would throw off the flow of the game anyway. One of the many things this game gets right is the buildup/action/cool down phases (sometimes extending across multiple episodes). We are given the opportunity to plan a mission, execute a mission, deal with the aftermath, then go fuck. Perfection.

I believe that after the upcoming episode (dropping this month), we will next have an episode (more of what you are looking for) of not only a continuation of Shani's trial (and return home?), but another desert adventure for MC too.

Even when a particular episode leans more heavily towards one end of the spectrum, each update makes sure to give you at least some of both sides and allows you to pursue content in the order you wish. As a matter of fact, you can avoid just about all sexy time and focus more on action scenes if that your desire. I cannot remember very many sex scenes being required.

I love the missions and look forward to another, but I need my downtime back at the villa too. :whistle:
