Bought it to support you in your future endeavors as there's a lot of care and detail that's gone into this.
For some reason I decided to play a game like this with sound on and was caught off guard by the attention to the choices in sound and design you've had whilst making it, and there's quite a few royalty-free tunes that's had me searching them up online, especially that one in the pre-boss area as it reminds of an artist I love - and considering the millions of songs you've trawled through you've found a good few gems, and even the sound effects are tame, fitting and unobtrusive - like the quick clicks, which are a nice touch - unlike other games of this ilk which feel it necessary to drown you with mayonnaise fisting sounds.
The writing this time around is also a lot better, and some of the scenes are written gorgeously, showing a marked improvement since Chapter 1, with the intricacies of certain kinks being really well done, keeping the scene close and intimate without delving straight into hentai brain. The depth and character to the world adds much more than you might expect to some too, to even the point where I was making sure I'd closed the door to the hideaway behind me so nothing bad happened to Scratch - and there's enough depth there to keep me looking for scenes in weird locations or odd predicaments because little things seem to hide around every corner, or at least produce opportunities for them..
There's one scene in particular that caught me by surprise, as I imagine it will a lot of other players (and Mezz), and it was fantastic. I hope for more scenes like that in the future as my primary complaint is that a lot of scenes end too quickly. Bad endings end too quickly, and you show a talent for drawing out a scene and a kink with a refreshingly renewed vigor every moment after the last, which makes a shame to have certain moments end prematurely... Slut mode only being slutty with enemies feels like a missed opportunity too. Coming out the VHS store after your third attempt and not wanting to get friendly with someone friendly seems like a missed chance, even if it's a quick flash of a black screen and a quick cut in of freshly "painted" picture - and in certain scenes it's a shame that someone isn't giving Mezz a good reason to shut up too.. The change in Mezz's sprites to be a little darker as his eyes grow greener is a nice little touch too; that inner brainwashing creeping in is such a good feature for slut mode, and the subtle moments of losing control, like when Mezz leaves the store, not the player - those are awesome details, the player losing control of Mezz just as he is of himself.
I don't think my crystal worked, but it's just going to give me a reason to replay the game as I'm curious to see what that scene is; I saw the hidden one with Mahir and wasn't sure that was it, though when someone inevitably compiles a guide to all the scenes I'm sure to be amazed at the things I've missed.
