I have so many mixed feelings about this game. On the one hand, I really enjoy playing as Celica. She's an endearing character and it's very easier to indentify myself with her. But on the other, she doesn't get to do anything. Practically every sexual encounter is at the behest of another, she never gets to initiate. You cant do anything with Evie, its always Nel or Violet. Same thing with the monsters and monster girls, its always them forcing themselves upon her. Even with max lewdness, Celica never gets her own sexual agency. I guess maybe that's the theme of the game, so maybe im just not the target audience, but I cant help but be disappointed. I really like a lot of the aspects of this game, but just a few factors impede my enjoyment.
I have the same issue. Also with the fact that there are no "cutscene" sexual encounters with a male, it's all lesbian/female stuff. Which is fine if that's the theme of the game, but I'm not interested in it, so it's pretty disappointing. I end up just setting up an auto-clicker to pass the scene since the "skip" button doesn't skip anything. :/
I was so excited at the start of the game when it mentioned there being a demon, and it crashed and burned hard when I found out it was a lady demon, not a dude. Male demons are so hot to me, so the let-down was intense. (Not the dev's fault or anything, I kinda built myself up for it lol.)
I also despise how Celica went from kinda working with Nel when it comes to possessions to just having her body stolen by other ghosts and getting told it's "their" body now... I feel like Celica gives up too easily and is just like huh, okay, sure, you can use my body! Sigh.
According to the information I have, the game will remain focused on female "friendship", because this is the basis for the plot. But the part of the game that contains additional quests may also depend on the activity of the players. (The game consists of plot quests and additional ones).
This structure of the plot was also influenced by the fact that in the early and later stages there were almost no players who liked m + f relationships. After all, the game is already 4.5 years old. But most active players like what it is now. And lovers of relationships between guys and girls usually write their opinions very rarely and, mainly, on third-party sites that are not visible to the author of the game. Well, as mentioned earlier, the financing of the project also plays a certain role, since Patreon regularly holds polls related to the plot. But now they have more influence on additional quests, since the game is gradually striving to complete the main plot.
