VN Ren'Py Completed A Promise Best Left Unkept [Bonus S2 Ep 9-11] [Hangover Cat]

[Miriada]

i am skipping most of this so can some one tell me what is so important that she cant share with the person who is the most important to her??? she never cared for public image, she seems super sexualy open for how easly she goes along with ALL sexual request and supposedly she loves the mc and sex with mc is good as well. if its a criminal case blackmail than no reason to keep it away from mc, if its something sexual than she can train mc.
I dont understand what the secret is or could be.

If you mean Laura, she cares *a lot* about her public image. That's why she hides the kind of sex she likes from Harry, even vanilla stuff (It's implied that she did doggy with previous partners, not Harry).

And you may say: "But that reasoning is bullshit, it's obviously Option 1 if you believe the people around you love you genuinely." And you're right, it is.

My personal theory is that Laura is shown early to have trust issues (jealousy, etc.) and goes silent treatment whenever she's angry, so that already builds a background for her to not communicate bigger problems (like *the plot problem*) openly to Harry. Later on, it's probably copium for liking the dick and being degraded despite herself. Submission comes with the temptation of letting go of your rational, overthinking self. That temptation, not just the dick, was what hit Laura like a metric ton of heroin.

And also porn logic. Don't dismiss porn logic.

IS THIS WHATS IS ALL ABOUT??? please some one get me up to speed on what is the blackmail about and why is she so adment on not shering the burden with mc. and i have been hearing about trauma this trauma that but who and which traums are we talking about?
ps: so she has a narcissistic egocentric victim complex while being a pathological liar? is luca a normal person in comparison xd

So from what I can remember or from what I picked up Laura's mum was quite the hoe back in the day now I don't know if Laura seen stuff or what happened but my impression was that it's an apple doesn't fall far from the tree sort of situation in regards to the trauma

Luca tricks Harry into stealing a USB of the project's code from Laura's office, and threatens to release it, making all of Harry's work null and getting him fired, and also maybe sent to prison unless they fuck for the month until the app releases and the code becomes opensource anyway.

Miriada makes a good case for why Laura would be considered trustworthy. Why Harry trusts Luca is anyone's guess.

It's not but it's super spoilery:

Luca's 'plan' depends on Harry and Laura not sitting down and having an honest conversation, not just about the blackmail but also their insecurities. That's why there's some rules later on that assign Laura compulsory time with Luca. Still, Harry and Laura do meet a couple of times during the month, but what happens on those dates is handwaved (there wouldn't be story otherwise). A way of making sense of it could be "they were both having a rough time so they tried to not bring up heavy topics".

TL;DR:
Laura tries to be a girlboss, Harry has a boo-boo in the head but also tries to be a sigma. They fail spectacularly.

 

[Komdot]

The truth is that if you don't turn on porn logic to play, everything is so ridiculous.

It still doesn't make a lot of sense. Harry knows that Luca can't be trusted even if he can't remember exact details. He tells Laura that and Laura is immediately more cold to Luca. Luca tries to just seduce Laura but because Harry has already told Laura about the bullying at least, her guard is already up and it doesn't work. But then Harry just trusts Luca is telling the truth. The details didn't matter to Laura in the beginning but then apparently do when the writer/developer wants Laura to be convinced by Harry's incompetency, when said incompetency is really a complete violation of how he and Laura acted in the earlier parts of the game.

But I agree with Kombot, and I've said myself, that the game is mostly fuelled by porn logic. However deep the characters start out, anything that would prevent Laura falling to Luca is routinely ignored or discarded so we can get the porn scenes. They're good porn scenes, but the story isn't as deep as it wishes it was.

this is exacly what i dont understand from this love triangle. she knows he did something bad and doesnt confront him about it even thought she is meant to be a straight forward charcter.
that said the stakes at the beggining are: have some time alone with me or your boyfriend will go to prison, which than escalates. BUT DOES SHE NOT HAVE A BOTTON LINE???
this game reminds me of https://f95zone.to/threads/turning-the-page-v1-0-0-azienda.131246/ , but while that one is about 2 pieaces of shit and a good guy, cuz there is no blackmail, its just her getting dicked and trash talking good husband behind him, in this one she want to make it work with the mc and but in a very manipulative, self centred and self-absorbed.

I sort of addressed this in an earlier comment of mine, here. She does sort of resist, but her idea of resisting becomes very warped by the story needing the porn scenes to continue.

As it should, for better or worse. That's why HSelf is struggling so much to write the Aya side of the story (admitted by him), if you make a character too strong you break the suspension of disbelief.

Oh sure, I have no problem with a porn game being about the porn scenes. It's why so many games go for a simple premise and simpler characterization, because it's easier to hit the scenes you want to hit and it's easier to write overall. Not to say it's not appreciated when there's an attempt at stronger, more coherent plotting or characters, but it rarely lends itself to porn, and the devs end up having to break the story or the character in order to do what they wanted originally anyway. But I don't think anyone, whether the devs themselves or the players, should be under any illusion of what they're creating/playing, which they sometimes are.

I would agree Laura doesn't have a bottom line hence why she's top of my shit list along side Sophia from the game you tagged , it's the classic female is in a loving relationship and then they get a breadcrumb of attention from another male and all morals go out the window and they essentially turn into a cum dump at some point, but its funny as I think woman are more ruthless when it comes to the cheating aspect but in the end it's seen as the men are dicks if they do it but if a woman does it she's sexually liberated and she shouldn't be judged for her actions blah blah blah

I didn't expect that someday I would find a game that is very similar to this game. Only it won't have the NTR element. I'm just looking at the plot of "Aa Mama ni Naru! ~Anata o Omotte Afureru Oppai~" from Akabei Soft2, I see Laura and Harry. The names of the heroes are different. In short, Laura is also a hidden masochist. Only instead of NTR, she seduces Harry when Harry tries to be a lover. And she's raising Harry to be a boyfriend who will behave like Luca. And all this back in 2019. Play through LunaTranslator. This is VN

nah, this PBLU is all about manipulation and coercion, what you referenced is lovey dovey couple who can't makes it be official. only similarity if you stretch it is the main setting being the office. but alot of PBLU plot is actualy happening in there houses.

Hey, how is the incest displayed in the game?

incest...?

 

[KyoN007]

good art - then I see ntr..

 

[NTR unavoidable!]

good art - then I see ntr..

This game is also on the extreme-ish side of things. I wouldn't recommend it at all if you can't stomach ntr.

At least, there's one route that make things...somewhat better.

Say, remind me, which ending has it that have Harry being with Laura and Aya?
