(Spoilers)
Not gonna lie, the last update was… kinda bad. The game tried to go more mature route and just fell flat on its face while doing that.
First of all, I’m really tired of victim protagonist trope, and here it isn’t even executed that well. The sister throws the most cartoony insults at him, and his Dad just beats him from time to time which was considered pretty normal irl in pre-modern times, yet appaarently its a child abuse now. Okay.
But that’s all got nothing on what happened next.
So I played Mac’s route (not interested in others anymore) and the sequence of events that happened there just baffled me to no end. So basically after encountering bunch of slaves on an island Mac had a bit of PTSD when witnessing slavery going on so he convinces MC to save them… an he agress… and then they do.
And there is so much wrong with the sequence of events that followed that I don’t even know where to start:
* The fact that short twink like Mac somehow managed to solo overpower bunch of guards;
* The fact that those guards were just people doing their job;
* The fact that slaves they have freed don’t really have anywhere to go and would probably starve on the streets anyway;
* The fact that the whole thing is happening on an island so they will be probably be returned to slavery shortly thereafter anyway;
* The fact that Mac and MC have endangered their entire crew by doing that stunt;
* The fact that all of the above are somehow considered to be a positive thing that happened.
So positive, in fact, that MC has learned such a shocking lesson that it’s actually good not to be selfish asshole from time to time. And he has learned this lesson from a pirate. From a *pirate*. While being a *noble*.
I… I mean… I can’t with this writing man.
This game should have stayed just a silly furry dating sim.
