So, wealthy single child are greedy and evil by nature? Do you think that being a single child (until he gets the little sister that he asked for) and wealthy, is a valid reason to hate so much not only her little sister, but the friends of her little sister, and try to ruin their lives and even to make them killed?

The character is over the top, as other characters in this game. Adam is a single child, and as most single children, wants a little brother or sister. The he gets his wish fulfilled... and the for some reason, instead of loving his little sister (that even had a serious medical problem, another reason to be protective with her), he starts hating her guts... Why? Because he has to share the inheritance of his father? Just like everybody that have brothers and sisters, and it usually doesn´t make people to hate their relatives and try to ruin their lives and the lives of their friends. Why is he so greedy? Because the fortune of his parents is immense? Another reason for not to be greedy, he´s going to be rich anyway. He´s greedy and evil just because he´s evil and greedy. And that's not a valid reason, just lazy, careless writing.

As happens with other characters in this game, the writer has exceeded himself with Adam, artificially looking for drama.

The romance in this game is great and the girls look amazing, that's why forgive most of the "sins" of the writing. But it doesn´t means they don´t exist.
I have the same feeling about this story, some parts are great some are not. Like you said some characters are over the top, i had that first impression when we encounter Adam the fisrt time. At that moment i had some doubts about this game, the same when you get to the house and Jade wants to blow you in front of everybody.
But apart from that the girls charachter were wery well done and i loved that story and the chat and flirt with the girls.
But with that last update, things went really over the top in too many ways and i could not enjoy it.
I had to drop it for a while because i was getting upset, now that i have cool down i will finish it soon.
All i hope is that the dev will concentrate on the girls story and not so much on that drama, but i fear it won't be the case.

On what statistical fact is this conclusion based? I'm an only child and never felt this way as well as anyone else I've ever known that is an only child. "...as most single children wants a little brother or sister" is a ridiculous statement tbh, but I understand and appreciate the frustration you are trying to point out regarding the character of Adam.

...he starts hating her guts... Why? Because he has to share the inheritance of his father? Just like everybody that have brothers and sisters, and it usually doesn´t make people to hate their relatives and try to ruin their lives and the lives of their friends.
Very key word you placed "usually". One must not discount that many, many families have been torn apart due to inheritance and probate issues. One is either inexperienced in the process or naive to believe otherwise. But again, I understand and appreciate your frustration regarding Adam. It's just the points you are making are not as unbelievable as you want them to be imo....except for the killing part or course :).

At the end of the day the dev wanted to create a villain, and Adam is at least one of them. As frustrating as it may be, it's not so over the top taking into account the totality of extravagant acts irl true historical villains in the history of humanity have undertaken. Regards and be well.

Adam imo is just a misguided Rich guy consumed by money & power to the point he will do just about anything to secure whatever slice of pie he can get, even if it means putting family in danger, he doesnt care (only Fakes concern to get what he wants.)

Just a little feedback for dev (assuming they read this thread) now that I've finished Ch3 Gold - potential spoilers for folks who haven't played Chapter 3, so be advised...

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Thanks for your efforts Dev, looking forward to Chapter 4. And make sure to put up an announcement in this thread if this game ever releases on Steam or GOG. I'd be happy to buy the game at one of those stores for full price.

That's exactly what I´m expecting. The dev said that he don't want to write a thriller, so I expect the story of the cartel of the dalias will be finished as soon as possible and the game will be again about roleplaying to be a college guy with a bunch of beautiful girls to hang around, without cheap villains, cheap female 007 and absurd crossovers/Easter eggs with BaDIK. But will see.

About the scene when the MC first arrives to the house of the girls, as I already said in another comment, I think that at first the dev had the idea of making a more conventional porn game with a lot of slutty girls eager to have sex with the MC, and then he changed his mind and made the female characters way less slutty (except Jade) an way less experienced about sex and men. There is a incongruence between that scene (or the scene of the train with Valery), or even the way they dress, the tattoos, piercings, make ups... with the personality that the girls develop along the game after the prologue.

The scene of Adam knowing the MC for 2 seconds and provoking him to a fight just because, is just bad writing, IMO. One could think that the wealthy and powerful owner of a private university and a lot of other business, both legal and illegal ones, with his father with a terminal desease, would have better things in his mind than becoming the mortal enemy of a random student, or even pissing off his step sister.

Yeah, he's greedy and evil because he´s rich and single son... Because we all know that rich people are evil by nature and single sons too...

Let's face it: Adam is like one of those villains of 007´s movies that want to launch nuclear missiles and kill everybody just because James Bond has to show off and ruin his evil plan.

pretty much & it feels like thats happening here with the hamshire cartel verses the Dalias cartel.

(i just hope valery doesnt have to go through the same trauma all over again.)

did this game have mother and daughter
Difficult... Most of the characters are orphans... I don't think there are other game with more orphans all in F95... :LOL: Maybe there is a game set in a post-apocalyptical world with zombies or something, with more orphans, but I don't know... :unsure:

I got a feeling that the game is not going to end on a completely happy note. That dream of his kept bugging me and I only just now realized why and also why there is no a complete harem route. Not going to hope for one outcome or another as I'd prefer to see what the writer actual has in mind, but daaang.

I started a new game, but after i finish chapter 1 (it shows "Chapter 1 End") the game skips chapter 2 and goes straight into chapter 3, i'm following Ashley Path. I tried the Jenny Path and chapter 2 starts normally. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Yup. Old saves aren't working.
Check out the "Gameplays" They include saves.
Also have you tried copying your saves from your C: drive and pasting it into your AOA chapter 3 save file?

When I install a new version ,
I transfer my saves across from the old version
and so far I have avoided the need to restart a game.

I had the same problem ...
I´m playing the compressed version...
I never played the beta but my saves always result into : " play 1-3 minutes,then forced to main menu..."
Scrappys Mod fixed it for me (theres an option to fix it in the Mod)...
Hope it helped ;)
