I was trying to head down the Priscilla route. And, yeah, the dev straight up begs the player to NOT do that. So, OF COURSE I failed the game and need to start over. (It seems likely that chasing Priscilla will require the MC to heavily invest in becoming a cuck. Not my kink, but it does go hand in hand with Priscilla Secret. And I was curious to find out whether or not the hints that Priscilla gives in "Secret" actually worked out in "Hunter.")
But here's the thing, there was NO FUCKING REASON for me to fail the quest line. It's YOUR fucked up writing and game design that forces it to happen.
I have to turn in a lead "every 5 encounters" or have a fail state forced onto me. However, YOU make it so that the idiot MC will watch something happen for 5 minutes, and then be so tired that he needs to sleep for the other 23 hours and 55 minutes of the day. This can happen 4 times in a row, leaving 1 day/opportunity/encounter to keep the game going. How the fuck am I supposed to generate leads if you don't even give me the chance to do so?
So, save often, and save scum every decision. Because THAT is immersive!!! Holy shit, I just realized, this is the 'Kerbal Space Program' of porn games. Just with the fun removed.
Ultimately this is just the 3D equivalent of those moronic 2D Japanese anime titles that kill you off with a single "wrong" choice. It strips the player of any actual agency in the game, because despite there being hundreds (or thousands) of choices, it's a linear kinetic novel. There is not actual mitivation for the player to try and figure shit out.
All that is incentivized is:
- Step #1: Decide which route/girl you are gonna chase
- Step #2: Enable Fairy's walkthrough
- Step #3: NEVER DEVIATE FROM THAT WALKTHROUGH.
You could have made 20 individual games from the content that you have here. Thankfully for me, I bought the Celebrity Hunter/Priscilla Secret combo on sale. Priscilla Secret is 10,000,000,000% better than this Celebrity Hunter bullshit. It is worth the price I paid for both games, so I don't feel ripped off. On the other hand, it's unlikely that I would ever purchase another product that you produce.
It's just kind of sad that 7 years of your work has been crippled by 7 years of your work.
Now, before you respond with the typical, "Nobody else has ever complained about...," I don't care what the incels have to say about this game. They will praise ANY game with a cartoon nipple in it. Most of them either can't or won't read a single word of your script.
