Really enjoyed playing the demo, story seems engaging and the characters are really interesting.
A question, you seem to be trying to approach the relationship dynamics carefully and thoughtfully in this story. So I was wondering if the dominant path can be played as a respectful dominant? I.E someone who is closer to how healthy people (In dominant roles) in the BDSM community are supposed to behave.
By which I mean someone who does respect the idea of, limits, after care and insuring the sub is healthy and happy after a scene? It is something I have noticed that most AVN's completely skip over which tends to make their BDSM scenes look a very unhealthy, and it is why I automatically put Octavia (despite some of the things she said) as a bad potentially abusive dom because she only appears to really care about herself in her relationship dynamics. Her sex games are about enforcing her will, and her status, not about mutual satisfaction.
If not obviously its your game, but I thought I would ask, since the character writing seems to lean more towards three dimensional realism than just porn fantasy.

Thank you.
It depends. I'm trying to keep a balance here. Keeping a more real approach to the characters, their relationships and lewd scenes. But it's not always possible, to be honest. But you won't see characters treating each other as shit, that's for sure. Octavia's femdom side is a different story, but even here you will notice some changes and progress along the game.
In short, there's a place for different dom stuff both male and female. But most of the time their dynamics will be healthy.
Thank you for your reply. I very much appreciate it, and I get what you mean about keeping a balance.
Obviously not critiquing other people's tastes, but what you have said reassures me as for me personally its a big turn off to pick a more dom path with a love interest only for the MC to treat someone like shit. Unless they are meant to be on a 'evil route' naturally as then it makes sense. I would have probably bought and continued to follow your game anyway, as I think your story is fun, I would just have stuck more rigidly to vanilla routes.
Octavia is an interesting character and well written, character flaws and all, and I look forward to seeing how she develops.
Thanks again, and wishing you the best for the continued production of this story.
