Reached the end of 0.21's content and now I'm sad.
A couple notes:
1. I still want a Lyanna/Laura (maybe also Mia) full on scene :)
2. The self referential/fourth wall jokes are funny but they also pull me out of the story and this story is interesting enough that maybe should take those out. I know some things are a little "convenient" but that's alright given the game's tone, it's largely a "sex comedy" but with some drama mixed in.
3. I've noticed season 2 has a bit more choice branching; really like to see that, adds a lot of replay value.
Itch.io client now says "No compatible downloads were found"
Here's the client log which may help

It's a good story.
As a game:
- There are only a handful of actual choices. I realize that's kind of the "visual novel" style but more agency would be nice (although makes things more complicated)
- There are a number of typos in the text. "apartment" is misspelled frequently.
It's unfortunate that the original artist fell ill (the artist's work is outstanding). I don't think explaining the art style change is necessary, however, in the game's flow. Many adult games have several artists and the other artist managed to match the general "look" of the characters, just interpreted differently.
Interesting game so far! I'm usually hesitant to back projects early in development (had far too many go dark suddenly), as soon as your SubscribeStar is ready I will probably start though! (It says it's under review.
One note, the serving game is a little too... rapid... for those of us without catlike reflex and also the groping bits fire off way too often (if the timer isn't suspended during them, please add that).
Customers seem to order more drink a little too quickly as well and often simultaneously, should be spread out a little more (maybe a randomizer on the timer for customer actions?)
I also think if corrupted enough she should be able to flash on her own while they're looking at her but you're already planning on that.
Unity has officially backpedaled.

I can't even get to the main menu, it plays the logo parade, after the Lithtech ones the cursor for the menu appears for a fraction of a second and then it crashes to the desktop.

I was just thinking it could basically be a prompt for how the player character is reacting, something like:
1. Get angry (+ morale, - relationship)
2. I guess that wasn't too horrible (neutral)
3. That was disgusting but I had no choice (- morale, + relationship)
The idea with the relationship change is to give the choice some benefit even thought you're losing morale, and vice versa.
