They boast about Halsin being the poly option in their post and marketing.

Him actively hinting at the threesome is what makes the banter apart of the poly aspect.
IMO the biggest mistake Larin made was making the horny meme bear the only poly option.

They also over estimated how many people would like Halsin hitting on them.
They really should have gone for Ambiamorous as that is technically poly as well as mono and you don’t risk excluding anyone from the most popular characters in the game.


I have read a lovely post on Reddit from a poly person perspective.

They are more knowledgeable than I am and they went in depth about which characters they think would make good candidates for the poly options in game.

Halsin unfortunately comes across as a sex pest when you’re not interested in him.

The problem with silent protagonist is that people can get so absorbed they don’t have time to quick distance themselves when they encounter an uncomfortable situation.

Larain should have made the PC fully voiced if they were planning to shove a banter that is sexual in nature including the player by an NPC that you can turn down multiple times.

Halsin comes across as a creep to heterosexual woman as well due to the overly flirtatious nature when you just talk to him in camp.

If you’re willing I want you to imagine a character that you find absolutely repulsive.

Now picture that character flirting with you after you told them you’re not interested.

Now try to imagine that same character inviting you and your LI to a three some with them.

That banter is invasive the easiest option would be to remove the banter but a lot of poly people like it so it would be nice to lock it behind a poly relationship.
