I lost count of how many times I thought to myself "YOU HAVE THE POWER OF TWO GODDESSES!! USE THEM!!!" while playing this game. The MC is so scared of his powers he never actually spends any time trying to control them or understand them, but oh, how he ponders every single way of avoiding using his powers on anyone, every single interlude.
I guess you can say that Hecate is the author's way of breaking the fourth wall, and somehow imply that things will be different in later updates. But, at the moment, this story is an exercise in frustration and exasperation.
Rin is an annoying, dumb, shortsighted, pushy, demanding, heartless exhibitionist with no respect for anyone. Lin is a sullen edgelord with jealousy problems. Molly is an overprotective, stressing and suffocating character. David is just completely intolerable; good manners is as foreign to him as the environment on Proxima-7 is to the world at large. Miss Collins is a sadistic rapist with a god-complex. Annie is insufferably helpless. The MC is an overwrought, indecisive wet rag, regardless of whether he uses Hecate's powers (dominant route) or not. Instead of using his powers, the MC lets the whole world fall and crumble to dust around him, lets Rin and Ms Collins control his actions, lets Annie get hurt, lets Lin get hurt, lets Emily get hurt, lets Molly get hurt, commits sexual crime for your 'friend' David. The MC is supposed to have the power of two goddesses FFS!!! He could easily have used either one, or both, on any one at any time to avoid it all, but whenever it's time to use the powers, when the story actually cries out for the MC to use his powers, you aren't given a choice, you are only being shown how insecure and stupid the MC is, and always ends up choosing the wrong choice, making everything worse everytime.
The only time you feel as if the MC is using even one tenth of Hecate's power, is when you use it on Ms Collins. And as said, it only feels like a tenth of Hecate's power within MC at that time in the story.
I tried playing this through several times to make sure I didn't just have a bad playthrough, choosing to use Hecate's power the few times you're allowed to make a choice to use your powers, choosing to never use her powers and refuse her. I chose different answers, closer to the truth, closer to her fantasy, in Rin's dreamwalk. I chose to stay hidden, I chose to reveal myself to Annie's father. I chose exculpatory answers at the police station, I chose incriminating answers. I tried doing things as differently as possible each time, and each time I kept screaming the same thing in my head: "YOU HAVE THE POWER OF TWO GODDESSES!! USE THOSE POWERS TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS!!! STOP BEING SUCH A SCAREDY-CAT AND USE YOUR POWERS!!! YOU HAVE THEM FOR A REASON!!! *PLUS* THEY GET STRONGER THE MORE YOU USE THEM, SO F-ING USE THEM!!!"
The general idea of this game is an interesting one, but the execution is horrible. As Hecate once tells the MC: You could have total control over everyone if you weren't such a feckless scaredy-cat, afraid to use your divine gifts.
I sincerely HOPE the MC finally enters puberty and his balls finally drop later in the story, but so far there's no hint of that ever happening, regardless of which path you choose.
Edit: I played v2.6
