Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only person on this site that finds harems a turn-off. I would rather have significant, branching interactions with a single love interest than a ton of forced interactions with a bunch of random women.
Oh they definitely filmed it, and it's no doubt accessible to club members, Kathleen's lie was that this would be publicly available to all the porn sites on the internet, just like all of Victoria's old videos are readily available. Previous Carnations competitions have also been recorded, and Edwin had to watch some footage for research on his new duties, but had to be given this video, he couldn't access it before getting his job. There's no difference between Edwin doing the porno acts on-stage or a recording for club members only, as they all already know his face, rather it's the wider internet community, and truly any future potential employers seeing the video and then refusing to hire him, that is the problem. This is also a problem for Rose, but she was supposed to humiliated, while Edwin's life is NOT supposed to be ruined for taking a summer job.
Because it would require a lot of work to have all of it, since they'd be different paths, with different dialogue, and different scenes. That and the dev themselves don't wanna.
Why can't comedy and drama all be in a movie. It should be up to the viewers to go down which story they want to. Movies shouldn't restrict them fearing whining of people. Everything in it: slapstick comedy + comedy of manners + medical drama + war movie + spy story + crime story + fantasy + horror + romance + thriller + procedural police + superheroes + science fiction + western + sports.
I think you can find some games in which there are all those contents. Unfortunately (for you) this isn't one of those games and we are happy about that. Anyway I agree with you: the developers shouldn't restrict them, fearing the whining people and be free to decide what contents put in their games or don't.
And that is why there is no NTR or incest in this game.
No, it wouldn't be nice, because I want also the hystorycal, porn, kid, animation (all kind), live action…Why can't comedy and drama all be in a movie.

Wouldn't it be "nice"?
And that's a fine thing to want, but maybe a game where the MC's job involves participating in live sex shows is not really compatible with the MC being monogamous. Equally though, I'm fine with this game having that "can't catch 'em all" approach.
Sure you can. That is what multiple saves are for. I have my main run where I just go in blind and follow my gut for better and worse (of course I fell for the first girl to demand monogamy so far lol). Then after I get that save up to date, I explore with my other saves. I love that some games work for harem and do well with it, but I also love that sometimes devs have the stones to realize that not following the cries and whims of this community ultimately leads to better art, especially with these devs and their storytelling and direction and presentation.
They certainly can be in **a** game, just not this one. And it's not about not inviting people's bitching, because the absence of those traits will also cause people to whine. In fact, no matter what you do, someone will be dissatisfied with it. So, the best thing developers can do is tailor the game to both their personal tastes and what's appropriate for the story they want to tell.
Everyone here talking about Harem, incest, ntr, yet by FAR the most common theme and tag representation in this game is BDSM, imho at the cost of all others.
Funnily enough, I don't even think of us as a BDSM game.
I wouldn't have initially, but after several updates of the contest events, that seems to be the overwhelming theme. Of course, that depends on whether one's focus is on the carnations or the side groups of Mina and Hana.
I mean...you have the women getting locked into cages. You have them get electrocuted. You have Harper getting water dipped. You have one of them getting bound into a contraption to get bukkaked (is that a verb?
) on...Isn't one of the core themes the exploration of sadism and desire and its effects on the people involved?
Sure, but I never think of the game as targeting that niche. It's more "yeah, Kat WOULD tie the girls up right here" rather than "let's satisfy a kink." Doesn't really make a difference from a player's perspective, other than like you said, we're not really that hardcore of a game for the type of people who would specifically seek them out. I was just noting how incidental it felt to me in lieu of Johnny's criticism.I mean...you have the women getting locked into cages. You have them get electrocuted.

It's not super hardcore as far as BDSM goes, but it is definitely there.
