These are my genuine feelings after just completing the current version, not here to hurt any feelings just to be brutally honest:

I swear this game features one of the worst depictions/understanding of maledom on this entire site. Maledom isn't even remotely the same as being a douchebag. Having basically every single maledom/"alpha" choice lead to less love from the girls is stupid.

But not nearly as stupid as having the "maledom" choice be to say "nO tHaNk YoU" or "i'M tIrEd" when a girl shows interest in you and skipping entire scenes with that girl. WTF??? That's the OPPOSITE of what a maledom path should be about. That's... I genuinely can't find the words to describe how brainless that is. Since *when* did the alpha/maledom choice become to decline girls??? I have no idea how much content I missed for trying to actually play a maledom path but it sure felt like a lot, and that's just dumb. If the game is just going to punish the player for going maledom at basically every turn, which is exactly how it feels like the whole time, then just don't bother including a maledom path at all. I'm open to be convinced otherwise but the maledom in this game feels utterly sloppy and like it's barely even an afterthought. If it's the case that the developer is secretly only interested in femdom/the "sigma" path, then please stick exclusively to that. Literally no one is going to thank you for a half-assed maledom path. Again, I hope I'm just wrong and the dev is interested in doing better. I can only hope. There is potential here but the maledom path needs a *serious* course correction if any maledom fans are supposed to take any sort of liking to it.

We only use the names Sigma and Alpha as codenames. Normally, you shouldn't see them, but since you checking the code (or using a mod), you are criticizing them. You don't have to follow routes labeled as Sigma or Alpha. Typically, when you play a balanced game, you achieve the best results. For example, to see an additional animation in a scene, your Sigma and Alpha scores must be greater than 8, which can only be achieved by making balanced choices.

I think the code is wrong. You should test each variable independently.

if Mc_AlphaM and Mc_SigmaM > 8 should be if Mc_AlphaM > 8 and Mc_SigmaM > 8

the first is testing Mc_AlphaM for True or False

Man, this MC thinks he is just so fucking cool lol. Still, it's a pretty decent VN so far with above average writing and one of the best boob physics during animations.

Status Update - Episode 3.5 #2

Hello folks,

It's been a while since the last status update, and during this time, there have been several developments regarding the upcoming update. Honestly, we didn't even think we could release a new episode this quickly. Anyway, without further ado, let's get to the reason you're reading this status update.

In terms of renders, only the final scene and animations are left, and once they are completed, the rendering process of the episode will be finished.

As for the coding phase, it's almost halfway done. If everything goes smoothly as planned, it will be completed soon.

Real potential here, not everyday you find AVNs with an engaging story. Great to have more Summer's gone/BeingADik competition(keeps the wait time bearable). The character renders are awesome, SanchoMod fixed most of the writing issues(grammar/spellings). The animations are great as well.
Loved Haley the most even though all other characters are amazing lily, lisa, anna to name a few and the econ teacher of-course. If "theGreys" can maintain the content release pace i am sure we'll have a great VN to remember. Good Luck dev
and thank god the MC's not some sick fuck wannabe handsome!

Is it just me or most of the girls have the same character model? Just different hairstyle, piercing etc...

I mentioned that in a review but some moderator took it down because he deemed it unfit for a review.
Li's looking like the same kardashian shadow clone jutsu isn't helping.

Started playing yesterday from the begging and finished within a couple of hours.
Couldn't fap to this, the characters aren't intriging. Well besides Ethan, who gives off creepy stalker vibes. lol
Great visual tho, and yet, just like the MC... I feel nothing.
