Okay, a collection of Speakeasy comments, including also spoilers:

About Maxim + Nika route:

I got that bad end the first time, and I did go back to see if changing my choice there could get me out of it. It could! Two sets of choices from that point got me a worse end, which was not as satisfying to me in the angst department as the first one I got, and a good end, which was very nice. I'm not sure how "ends" are counted in this game (there's not like, an end list/gallery) - only the good end got me a credit roll, so idk if the others were just dead ends, or if those are all/most of the endings for the Max and Nika route and it really only does diverge at that late point.

It's so funny to me in hindsight because like. If you look at the character profiles from the kickstarter, it lists their sexual orientations. If you play at least some of the other routes first, probably all of them, you get to see some of the relationships between the characters that already exist. I did not look at the character materials. I played the Maxim + Nika route first. And like, the third thing that happens in chapter 1 is Vincent, speakeasy boss and not one of the capturables of this route, tells us to get out so he can suck my love interest's boss's dick, and like. It took me completely by surprise. Cora is sputtering about the Greeks nonsensically to Milo and I am sitting there like sonic_whoa_he's_bisexual.jpg (which I knew about Max, but like, not Vincent). True moment of connection for me with the MC.

I also picked them first because I thought that I would like them best and that is true so far. This is also troublesome because like. I like them best. I'm doing other routes and I hit a boring spot and I'm just like. Where's Nika I want to hang out with Nika. It doesn't help that the answer to the question "where is Nika?" is probably "rotting in an opium den" 😔

Also this route made me feel a bit stupid because it's like. taking place in the 1920s. My aristocratic Russian lover tells me all his family is dead. What could have happened? And then later we get to a reveal and Nika says something about the Bolsheviks and it's like. Ah. The Russian Revolution. Is a thing that happened. Not that long before this game's timeframe. Sorry for being dumb, boys.

Also liking them best is true problem I started Silas's route and I had to stop and go replay the beginning of their route before I was like. Okay. I can move on now.

Silas's route

I played through this once and got a good end. I haven't felt motivated to go back and like, look for other endings. It was fine! He's sweet. Parts of the route are mad dumb though.

Made a post about this already but I was on edge thinking he was going to go yandere on me. He did not. Also Uncle Harry was the piece of shit behind the animal stealing.

Milo's route

Played this one tonight, got a good ending. Cora is a little more frustratingly dumb at some points in this route but I liked it better overall than Silas's. Got into some real sketchy illegal speakeasy shit in this one though (but that's pretty obvious going in). And I mean, obviously they all have illegal speakeasy shit in them, that's the whole premise of the game, but Milo is like, the enforcer, so it's a heavier serving.

I also did find it darkly funny after Vincent has done some Truly Heinous Fucked Up Shit to the bootlegger guy and then is looking around at his horrified crime family like. C'mon you guys what's all the fuss. His route is undoubtedly going to be unhinged.

I feel like I should have more but truly I am still just. Thinking Lots about Maxim and Nika. Also in the other routes it does seem that the cgs are all mostly nsfw but it takes longer to get to the porn. Max and Nika are fucking while Cora is watching by like chapter 3.
