Leo, thank you for the free access and the new games. I enjoyed both of them. Although I'm a speculative fiction fan, I actually liked Sisters better than Thorne. Although it's actually fairly linear, allowing you to go to different locations at will made it feel more adventure-like. I enjoyed the storyline aspect of turning the rich girl to your side. Stories are about people changing, and she changes the most in this game. So she's my favorite.
Thorne felt a little too linear to me. I like the story and the writing, but there was just a bit too much "click to get the next bit of dialog" in a row. I think this is actually more perception than problem, though. I'll bet if you kept every line, but showed twice as much on the screen at a time (show a line from both Sky and Thorne on the same screen) it would be fine. Like I said, the amount of text was fine. It just seemed too drawn out.
Sky is gorgeous. I couldn't go out in public in that transucent outfit of hers, but wow, it's awesome.
I appreciate that you made a version of "rub the body parts" that doesn't suck. In most games those things make zero sense (ie, she's stripped naked and is bent over, but requires that you rub her arm first). In this game the rubbing is at least logical. I wouldn't use this mechanic too many more times, but it worked here.
I never did understand the zipper. I got it down 3 or 4 times, but I'm not sure what I did any of the times. I swear I randomly clicked on it until it eventually went down.
I think my biggest complaint about both games is that you need to repeat a ton of stuff to see the content. I wouldn't have minded seeing the ohter machines with Sky but didn't really feel like going through it all again. I'd appreciate some sort of checkpoint system after figuring it out. I don't mind needing to restart when I do it wrong, but didn't like doing so when I did it right. As a result, I really only saw one main path in both games.
They were very enjoyable, though. Thanks!
