Man why do ntr/sharing fans want every game to be the same and end up with same kinks and storylines. No wonder this genre gets the same one or two storylines repeated over and over again and you get the slop games that all feel the same, when apparently that's what you want.
Here's a game that is trying to do things a bit differently, its taking its time in developing the kinks, not including or overusing the basic tropes and cliches, and then I just see a bunch of people just screaming for all the same things that you can find in pretty much every other ntr game. (Include bbc, humiliate this, humiliate that, feminization, chastity, make Laura actually cheat, yada yada...). And this isnt about kink shaming. Sure, in an ideal world the game having every single kink and million routes to go down would be the best. But adding everything simply isnt possible for one developer, at least not in any timely fashion. And why do you have to be so rude and obnoxious about it?
I gave this game a shot, like I do for a lot on this site, just looking for hidden gems regardless of genre, thinking I would abandon it pretty quickly because it focused mostly on ntr and it was ai and stuff. But what I found was a pretty well written, very intimate game between two people in a relationships exploring new kinks and stuff. And even if you dont care about sharing, I though hey the way they communicate, having it feel (mostly) natural about wanting to try out new things was pretty well done. I also liked (at the time) relatively novel idea of it being done via text messaging. The game felt like a bit of fresh air in a stale genre, so it kept me playing and trying out new releases.
So to
Le Stag , just my two cents: I hope you keep on making the game you envisioned originally. Obviously fans requests and desires need to be taken into consideration, but I hope it doesnt turn into kink of the month updates, where you are fulfilling whatever request the community has next, just to chase as many patreon subs as possible. For characters to start doing things that are way too sudden or out of character for them, and if you end up including more hard core kinks that it at least feels like the characters naturally developed to that if you choose to go that route.
Oh and on the final note (this is just subjective) but I feel like I haven't enjoyed the content as much since the madhouse addition. For me, the actual enjoyable part was the intimate way which Laura and MC talked and shared their kinks, their desires, their love. Sure, you've always had Laura talking to Ashley about it, or Ashley teasing you, but that felt different. And maybe I would have appreciated their inclusion once, but the experience just feels diluted when Ashley (and potentially Tara) are so frequently involved now. I wish there was a way to completely avoid this branch, where the follow-up talks only include you and Laura (and potentially the other guy). (Is there? Maybe Im just stupid and I missed it, if so, ignore my critique and just tell me how to get that route). But of course, that may be just me, its just my opinion.
Anyways, its still an enjoyable game and I wish you all the best of luck with it. May you find inspiration and joy in working on it for many updates to come!
