I imagine I'm supposed to be kind considering this is one of SALR's earlier games.
But man! I'm glad I zoomed through. I bet I missed a lot of context. Like how heavily the girls might be on birth control or if the mc is reproductively impotent (until the clone ending) as well as personally impotent.
This is bad! Like sure you get the sex you want. Your mc is in a sex cult with an initially unreasonably power tripping stand in cult leader. So chicks throw themselves at him. And graphics are okay.
However the story is bad. The mc will forgive genuinely serious offenses from girls because they're LIs. But not others.
Example:
The MCs mother orders someone to kill him. She gets forgiven even though she decided to cross the line of no return.
The MCs brother did that to and was not forgiven. Yes I know you can choose not to kill him. But he's not forgiven regardless of how he dies.
You might say "but wait! The brother actually killed the gf while the mother had someone else dirty their hands!" Po-ta-toe poh-tah-toe.
Work tells the MCs mother to neglect her family. So she does.
Work tells the MC's brother to take the MC's girlfriend away even if he has to kill her. So he does.
Are the employers influential enough that they probably couldn't afford to escape away or take command of their own life every now and then? It appeared so and they appeared petty enough to do it.
However both decided to act like their acts to alienate or mistreat family were their own choice. Sure this is sometimes a coping mechanism or a let my comeuppance give me what I deserve. Still terrible for any redemption or pretense of any persisting familiar bond
You don't get to reject the mother so she is forgiven. Hell! Even the person who ordered the death of the MCs gf gets forgiven. It's messed up that she gets the mc to fall for her. Then he introduced his late gf's father to her as his new girl and she never confessed until he learns about the order. But she's a different person now and she has a reason anyways so "it's fine."
The clone of his friend who was killing those who abused her and maybe innocents involved in her abuse. Forgiving her would be in line with the MC's former actions. But I guess here you needed a chance to not forgive her? Because that's an option. Leads to a different ending. But you can kill her.
Even though she's now a new person just like the forgiven LI.
Also, her time traveling gloves never had a corrupting effect until plot needed one.
Eventually the power tripping stand-in leader is "just an unfortunate and hurting girl looking for her purpose." That's not a quote but quotation fingers. And I suppose the mc gives her purpose.
The story has a lot of plot holes or bad story points.
Apparently the cult liked some orgy thing that actually could be harnessed to time travel instead of just bang all the cult.
The MCs brother seemed to have made his life unbearable even before the murder of his gf. However that's either just a plot that was never developed. Or the mc was so traumatized and scared that he pretended all was good. And this seemed to have been retconed to everything started with that murder followed by beating the mc to a near death.
The MCs girl was the OG. Her clone was not useful to the experiments hence they needed the og. However in the ending with this clone. The clone seems to have been raised believing she was the og. Or the brother implied the gf was alive before you kill him. Then the clone confirms that she and the MCs late gf are not the same person. Different body with the same dna. Then you time skip to 30 years or when the mc is around 50 and skip any and all Prego content as the mc married the clone and had kids with her.
the dev might make a sequel based on this ending or taking from the kill the friends clone who killed her abusers and who's a new person ending.
edit:
And I guess somethings are. . .kinda inconsistent? If this mc is the nathaniel in the other game's ending. He became what he claimed he didn't want to become. He made clones of himself and tried to kill them for imperfections and to "restore balance." This is unlike other games where former mc's just become a better badass while still being the character you liked and made him become in his game.
I'm glad I skipped most everything. I was working on fixing up the English and would've shared that when I was done but I no longer have the interest in continuing with this game that has no appeal to me. The ending of another one also was a let down for endings so I'm dropping that too. SALR has improved for sure. I'll give him that. But I think his style and conclusions are hat turns me away. The same way I get rid of games that force you to chose a LI when they were harem all the way to the ending.
I doubt anyone was hoping for a grammar patch (only slightly improved over the current english). I won't be making the ones I started out on. Lost interest in the games.
