VN Ren'Py Abandoned A.O.A. Academy [Ch.5 Gold] [TLGGAMES]

[Kukipett]

Just finished the two chapters and i have mixed feelings, it's one more of those games where the MC is a total asshole who plays with the girls feelings just to drop them at the last minute to choose the "good"one!
Ok you can ignore all but one from start but the whole game tries to lead you the other way around.

Finally it's a really terrible and hypocrtical experience, that good boy so shy and respectfull with his girlfriend, cheating on everybody just because he is not sure about his feelings.

My god how can you look at yourself in a mirror after this kind of miserable behaviour!!

It certainly gave off another college game's vibe when I first played it that's why I was so hesitant about continuing it and keeping it a part of my game roster. You certainly do have the choice of chasing everybody, or, like me, stick with the one girl you have the past with and the feelings for. I play these type of games with how I act and behave in real life HEAVILY factoring in my choices.

As a person who doesn't cheat on others, and only goes for the "true love" in each game, I've never strayed from that path. I play these with my life experiences in my mind. Yeah it might not lead to such great gameplay or I might not see the amazing sex scene, but these games aren't about that to me. If you want lewd, the entire internet is wide open for that.

Story first for me, always.

I love what you wrote! Huge respect to you! I try to play the same.

It is possible in this game to Avoid dating any and All of the ladies.
You are always given a way out.
When in Jenny's house for the first time depending on Your choice you can limit Jenny and Jade to just being friends.
The same applies to Valery , Rebecca, Vicky , Sung-Ji and Ashley by the end of the next day !
In other words, It is possible for the MC to go SOLO !
But if you choose that route , why would you be playing this game ?

Thank you. Not many people have said that about my playstyle. Much appreciated.

Exactly.

Jenny's gang was an immediate turn off (except for cutie adorable Rebecca) and I just don't like how forward that all was with taking the shirt off and all that crap. After what, just a DAY after meeting them? No thanks. Val has some Hannibal Lectre thing happening with her so not going that way.

Sung-ji is adorable, but Ash's roommate, so to me, that's off limits. Vicky and all the other girls are not my type but Aurora is very pretty and I really like her character.

If it wasn't for the "love that got away" thing with Ash, I'd be all over Rebecca, but I am sucker and a hopeless romantic when it comes to stories like the MC/Ash story.

Zoey is just stopping doing the walkthrough guide, Scrappys still has the multi mod which does the job.

There is a WT in the mod, why the fuck are people still expecting people to do a guide that takes a lot longer to do.

First of all, I honestly can't understand why you are so opposed to someone else making a WT.
It takes longer... than what? Scrappy would still be making his mod, so what's the problem?

Secondly, a mod can only get you so far. It only shows the choice that the modder believes to be the best in every case, but not the multiple branches that might stem from every choice and possible future consequences.
As the game gets bigger, reading a WT will help you to anticipate negative repercussions of your choices that will come into play chapters later, so you can choose your paths accordingly.

A mod and a WT complement each other.

EDIT: SpyderArachnid explained it much better than me; I hadn't read his post yet.

Man, it's a porn game so of course it's going to give you opportunities (not force you) to go the other way around.
It would be a crappy game if it didn't.

But so far the game hasn't forced you to do anything at all.
You can refuse to see the girls' boobs, you can a refuse a date with Ashley, a date with Jenny, seeing Valerie naked, having fun with Jade, swimming with Rebecca, etc.
If you go on a date, you can refuse to say you are interested, to tell them you are attracted to them, etc.
You can refuse everything.

If you only like Ashley you can choose to be with her and even have an option to say "she is the one."
If you like Jenny, you can avoid doing anything with the others, while waiting for her to make up her damned mind.
The same applies to Valerie. I have a route where she is my LI.
Will the game allow you to cheat on them after all this? Quite probably, but that's how it is in real life too; you don't get locked out of sexy content after getting yourself a girlfriend, nor even after getting married .
It will be up to you to decide what to do.

I'm doing two Valery routes one with Jenny and one with Ashley.
But in both routes the closest we have been is when I asked for a Hug while in jenny's office.
For me , The chance to offer Valery comfort and friendship at that point was the only possible choice.

Agreed it's up to you on what you want, and what the game offers you; Pure love, or notches on your belt.

Life imitates art and art imitates life.

Now, storywise there is one thing in particular than I don't think I have understood correctly.
When we learnt about Valerie's background, and saw that memory of her with the psycho-killer face covered in blood I assumed she had been repeatedly abused by her uncle growing up, so she ended up killing him, that being the serious thing she did which she always talks about.
Now, it turns out there's a guy who just escaped justice and will probably try to find her.
Is that the uncle? Did she actually not kill him? Or did she get in trouble with someone else from her past too?

I respect that even agree to that. Val certainly needs some friendship, love and affection. I don't like seeing these tragic characters not have a good outcome. If this game, to me, didn't throw Ash at you at the very beginning and it was more of "ok you're going to college" without a girlfriend or a platonic girl from your past, I would definitely be making different choices for sure.

I always went for the hug there too. Not gonna lie, I saw her naked the first time I played that scene out of curiosity, but as I always say, rollback and it never happened.

It's safe to assume imo that she was abused as a kid and at some point she broke and did smth violent (I don't know why, but in my head I always imagined she castrated a guy that abused her sexually) or was forced to do smth violent, but there was never stated that she killed anyone afaik, so the person hunting her could very well be the same person whose blood she has on her face in a flashback.

BTW I'm also one of those players who tend to choose fairly quickly my main LI and I always stand loyal to her. In this case it's Val, whom I grew to like already in the train scenes and I greatly appreciate the fact that the game doesn't force me to have any romantic relantionships with anyone. I hate when MC is forced to have sex/romance with someone, even when it's my main LI; if I'm faced with unavoidable sex scenes I usually stop playing a game.

The only thing we can know for sure is that Vicky is the solution.

A true statement, no matter when you read it.

 

[Kukipett]

Of course when i played , i went directly for Ashley, and i pushed as much as possible for her, but when i knew Valery better, my hart melt and i was confused. How can i reject her now, my god it's so hard!!!

And about the first day and Jenny and her gang i also felt odd, so directly after a few hours, they play that game, stripping and Jade giving me a blowjob in front of all the girls!!!!!
i never followed Jenny's route, i just let her aside because she seemed weird in a certain way, like some soft domina manipulating her toys.
SHe bought herself some friends and a boy taking advantage of their problems and playing with them, so she was out for me very quickly. Maybe she only has good intentions, but that's not a healthy situation.

I think that the guy who is looking for her is a cop working on the case and Clint has tried to protect Valery because he knows what she endured. We clearly see a scene when they are both talking about it.

Mmm... at first sight that could make total sense. She's a runaway, that being the reason why she changed her name. Clint knew the reasons why she did what she did and helped her to escape, while at the same time keeping tabs on the other cop.

However, I personally don't think that's it. After receiving Clint's phone call, she says that she's scared and doesn't want to be alone. I would be scared to be alone if someone who wants to harm me were after me, but if my "only" worry is a cop trying to find me it wouldn't matter wheter I'm alone or with others. He would arrest me anyway.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, her changing her name is also weird if she had killed her uncle. And Ashley implies she knows her from before, but with a different name

Maybe that cop has not only professionnal reasons to be so involved in the case, he seems to have gone far away from where he works to search for Valery. Maybe a relative of the victim ?
