Sorry about the slow reply here. The night I saw your message, Itch crashed for me before I could reply, and stuff at work got my attention off of getting back to you.
I want to start by thanking you for such a thorough piece of feedback! I'm sorry to hear Andrea's Hero didn't satisfy you. In terms of why there's no 'non-punitive sex,' well, this game was never meant to be vanilla . That's what I made A Whore of Ardor for, honestly, and if all you're looking for is medieval fantasy porn and monster-girls, you might prefer that game to this one.
For myself and a lot of people who enjoy these types of game, there's a special appeal to sexual content being tied to defeat. The thrill of knowing what I stand to lose if I'm overcome really gets me going, as does the feeling of powerlessness that can only come knowing I tried to avoid this and failed and got dominated. Put simply, this game is not intended for doms, as you seemed to infer. It is intended for people who enjoy the idea of being weak, of being desperate, of being dominated by another.
Further, as a trans woman who endured years of parental abuse and was made to see my desire to live as a woman as a point of shame, there's something kind of freeing about forced gender-bend scenarios. They are not the only type of gender-bend scenario I enjoy, but scenarios in which womanhood is forced onto me by someone else alleviate any guilt over desiring womanhood. |
As far as Alex's 4 inches go, cursory research would suggest that's quite average for actual cisgender men. If it is not clear by now, Alex is not intended to be some memetic hyper-Chad overflowing with masculinity. That said, if you want to go through the game with a huge dick, entering your name as "COWBOP BEBOY" will start you off with 24 inches and a massive stack of Shillings as well.
I am glad you enjoyed the writing and the game mechanics, even if you were not entirely satisfied by the endings. Thank you sincerely for playing my game and giving me this response.
