While I did like this game, this last final update for C1 left a lot to be desired.
C1 should have ended with Demitre at that very last point, with a better focus placed on the harem as an ending plus touching bases with all of the girls (many who have been grossly neglected to this point) and perhaps a very small glimpse into C2 as that would have been a more concrete and solid ending, but rather instead goes on into something out of left field and almost unrelated and even contradictory at points. MC also seems to be lose a lot of significance in the story.
The changes are so obvious and drastic it literally all of the sudden feels as if you're playing an entirely different game but with the same characters.
That said, I did understand the memo about the hardships and can relate. Hopefully things are looking up a lot better than they were.
Overall, not bad for a first project. I did enjoy these past few updates after revisiting from some of the very early builds. Well done.
