Having played it, I award this game 'most slavic porn game of the week'.

It's... a thing. Though I'd recommend toning down a couple aspects since not everyone 'gets' slavic culture.
The chief distrusting Dick because Dick doesn't have sex at his workplace is just kinda weird to Western audiences, although the setting of a PD with a 0 % efficiency rate and a whole lot of silenced journos does make it add up somewhat. If anything; rather than just mentioning it out of the blue for a quick joke that Western audiences might not catch onto, you could spin it more overtly as the chief being worried that Dick might seriously get the majority of the department on the hook for grave misconduct. From there, you could come up with some scenarios where the rest of the department tries to create blackmail material to keep him in line.
Say the Chief tells Rick to tell Dick that one of the suspects hid a key piece of evidence in her vagina, so Dick goes into her cell, and as Dick starts to ask about the supposedly squirreled-away evidence, one of the other cops sneaks up with a video camera to make a tape of Dick fisting a suspect to find a piece of evidence that never existed. The tape later gets destroyed in an accident involving a white puddle in the hall where the cops watch "training material", of course.
Second, the binary choice of whether or not to imagine the dominatrix naked threw me for a bit of a loop when the choice to do so came with the word 'gooner' and the choice to not do it and stay task-oriented came with some description along the lines of 'un-masculine'. It makes me want to ask whether the "men are animals and men who don't act the part aren't acting like men" thing I see among slavs is meant to be taken seriously or not, because all I see is a binary choice where both choices seem to insult my masculinity.
I see, Interesting. Okay so without giving too much away. 0.1 Does provide setup but no pay off as obviously the game is still being made. We are about to be introduced to the chief at the start of 0.2 and the direction of the PD and how it runs along with how he expects Dick to act as part of it will soon become clear. Dick/the players job or shall we say role in this narrative is to do one of three things. 1. Become like the rest of them fall in line, Bang the girls and basically forget who he is. 2. Keep the chief happy find ways to apease whilst solving the case. 3. Dick/the player decides to stay rightious in an unrightious place and ultimately finds out how that hand unfolds.
The Idea of the PD as a whole is a very heavily braindead, overly manly, cesspool. So here comes your conflicts. How do you change that around? How do you adapt into that kind of enviroment, SHOULD YOU adapt into that kind of enviroment?
Okay you appease the chief by doing what is asked of you... How far do you go before you are a different person? The idea is to pose questions to the player. We are not looking to emasculate but more so make you feel how dick feels surrounded by peers that view it as a kind of "do it pussy" culture. There is a lot coming, All the stuff that is readable on the PC are setup for future parts, everything we say or ellude to will come back up. Just give us time.
This is without even getting into the 3 girls stories...
Also as a story written by two westerners, I dont think audiences will find it weird that the boss feels that way WHEN they have full context. We just are not there yet.
But I appreciate your feedback and viewpoint all I ask is give us time.
