great game thru EP6. story reminds me of "acting lessons" as it is a very good written story. cannot wait for more
My game crashes at the Harlow Coffee shop scene and then goes back to the main menu. Is there much left of the chapter after that? I am blue balled so hard for Vanessa XD

There isn't much after that but there should be a scene and after credits. I've tested both paths for Harlow and they should work. Some of the crashes come from rolling back too frequently sometimes. Maybe try a previous save and skipping through it again to see if that works. Not sure what's happening exactly though.
Thanks for the feedback, everybody. I'm always reading everything and I can go more in-depth with details about the story or answer any questions if anybody's interested, when I have the chance.

Just finished Ep6 and some thoughts:
This game is a slow burner and I really love it! The dialogues between the MC and the LI's evolve pretty naturally (None of them jump right at the MC after their first conversation for example)
So, sure, some people will complain about it but i think it the pacing is just right.
As I am a sucker for a good game story (even for the genre of games you find in this forum
) I really appreciate what this game tries to do. No 'We have to save humanity!' or an amalgation of silly pr0n tropes, but a believable and interesting little adventure.
One minor thing I had with the way the story is told: the game title heavily suggests the MC ends up with a harem but the 'wholesome' interactions with most of the LI's let me believe that the game actually would force you to choose your soulmate in the end.
Now this line of thought was more or less derailed by the Halloween party scene in Ep 6 (where most LI's would meet each other and pick up what's going on between all of them and the MC)
So, although there is not really anything wrong with the way the story goes it did throw me off-course up until Ep 6
Now I wonder if the harem has to contain EVERY potential LI or if you can pick just some and not the rest? (I do not have particular interest in Vanessa or Kate, for example, yes I know, this is heresy and all.....)
Talking about the LI's, someone on the forum mentioned that the LI's were looking very similar and up to that point I did not really notice but after this new play-through it is clear that the author really likes high cheeck bones and slender figures on his women.
Once again, nothing wrong perse, but there is a grain of truth in the same-y-ness of the LI's. I do appreciate that they have realistic body proportions though, and not some 13 year old's secret fantasy.
long story short; keep doing what you are doing VenusWaltz!

The decisions that really matter in the game should actually answer your question.
You've always had the option to turn down a potential LI, romantically speaking.
The fact that you still have to interact with them is due to the story.
You can have them all, but you don't have to.

I take the liberty and publish a post by Venus Waltz on Patreon, which is actually not open to the public, but it actually explainsa lot and saves a lot of questions here.

I was more curious that if you choose not to pursue a girl, it would mean that you are locked out of a harem ending completely or not.

well, if you chose to not pursue girls, apart one or two ones, ofc you are locked out of a harem ending.
or that doesnt make a sense to you?

I was thinking about pursuing all the girls except maybe one or two. It would be nice to still have some naughty harem scenes
But from a developer perspective this would mean a lot of extra work: you would need to render the same scene several times to represent all the possible variations possible (harem scene with all LI's, scene without Kate, scene without Vanessa, scene without Erica AND Vanessa etc. etc.)
Option 1: only offer game endings with one single girl only plus the full harem option.
Option 2: Do offer a partial harem option but do not have scenes with more than 1 LI on the screen

Harem doesn't necessarily mean gang banging.It would be nice to still have some naughty harem scenes
For example, I find it difficult to imagine a woman like Kate in a threesome/foursome or group fun.

OkOk, you are right (only Erica seems to have no inhibitions regarding thatHarem doesn't necessarily mean gang banging.
For example, I find it difficult to imagine a woman like Kate in a threesome/foursome or group fun.
) it would indeed be quite out-of-character for most LI's. But maybe Vanessa will surprise us with some deeply hidden kinks.....I was more thinking about the marriage scene from Sisterly Lust (where the MC marries al LI's in one grand ceremony)
You can't have this kind of end scene with a partial harem.

I don't really like talking about endings and how things will end up because of how far into the future it is. I have plans but things are not set in stone in that regard because I'm more focused on the current situation. I understand it's only fair to let you all know what you're getting into.
You're free to pick and choose who you want. You can only choose one girl. You can choose two. You can choose all of them. You can choose none. There will be no 'consequences' but there will be differences.
There won't be a giant harem with a giant orgy scene for different reasons. The first is that there would be way too many combinations for me to render. The second reason is that, as mentioned earlier, it wouldn't make sense for some characters to engage in that sort of activity. I don't know if I could write a believable leap from Harlow being self-conscious to suddenly going down on other girls. I think I can work a threesome or maybe even a foursome in there with different characters. Beyond that, I'm not so sure.
Right now you have an option of picking just one girl and sticking with her the whole way through. That's one thing I know for sure I'm doing. If you decide to pick more than one girl, you're moving down the harem path, even if it's just two girls. Since the logistics of the choices and rendering is a lot, this means multiple options available with a varied romance different from a solo path. As someone requested earlier, I'm also leaning toward the option of picking one LI as the primary and having several side LIs as one permutation of the harem possibilities since that would help keep things more grounded in terms of content I can produce. Nothing is finalized but the harem and solo paths will be different, at least at the end.
When you're given an opportunity to pursue, some of the scenes and dialogue changes as a result. For example, Erika will stop being flirty with you so much if you decide not to pursue her. This means she won't be a part of the harem. There may be a possibility that another chance with her will open up but I haven't decided on that. There won't be a grand ceremony like in Sisterly Lust because I'm sure different players want to marry different combinations of women, which I just wouldn't be able to do properly.
One of the main things I wanted to do is give players options in terms of romance. You can pick and choose who you want. And another thing I wanted to do was not punish players for picking certain options (at least, not this early in the game). I don't think of pursuing or not pursuing a girl as right or wrong. Just think of it as two different paths: friendship or romance.
