Coming in to this I had my pet theory that the hero in the hero ending would have to be Laura. She's strong, intelligent and resourceful. Surely battered mentally by Luca's assault, but still a capable person if she could just stop and think. She hasn't been able to because Luca keeps throwing her off balance.

After initially playing through this latest release, I thought I had completely missed the mark. Laura folded like a lawn chair so quickly. It would have to be Sandra. She offered to help Harry, has an interest in helping Laura, and has some experience dealing with people like Luca.

But Laura folded way too quickly to make any sense, and right after she reconnected with Harry emotionally and physically. Then it occurred to me that I was right all along. Laura is doing this on purpose. Harry understanding her gave her the mental fortitude to stop and think. She has a plan now. We don't know exactly what it is just yet, but she is going to fix things as best she can, and Luca will lose.

Why do I say this? In her head when thinking about breaking up with Harry she responded "I... don't wanna...!" then shortly afterwards asks herself "What would 'his' Laura (the one he idolizes) do in this situation...?" Then, after she has formulated a plan, She has the best sex with Harry ever, asks him to believe in her, and when he says he trusts her with every fiber of his being, she says "Good. Then you don't have anything to worry about. I'll take care of everything." When Luca is mindfucking her into oblivion during their "date", she lies to him about the sex with Harry and says that the sex was "not good". She is letting Luca think he is winning. She further feeds this with her new rule that Luca must pin her hands while on top. She also made a rule related to making their "relationship" public or groping her in public, though we don't know the exact wording yet. There is probably something more long term to her plan there, but again, it's hard to see exactly what that plan is yet.

The only thing that doesn't compute for me is her dropping the condom rule. I guess she could be using spermicide or taking the pill, or maybe even relying on the ability to get an abortion.

You and I are pretty much on the same page, but I think her plan is going to end badly. Why? Because Luca has been outplaying Laura for the entire story. It would be weird for her to suddenly get the upper hand on her own when she's been consistently failing to do that all this time. Possible, but still weird. It would make more sense to me if she received some help, most likely from Harry and her mom.

However, I believe HC said Sandra would be getting sex scenes in this route. I can only assume that means Luca is going to fuck her and that might mean that Sandra is going to end up losing to the cock, too.

So, at this point, I see this route ultimately having two endings: A bittersweet one where Harry kinda succeeds at saving Laura and a flat out bad ending where he fails miserably and loses everything.

I'm willing to be surprised though. :)

i think there will be one more choice to decide the route ending, good or bad for harry
probably a choice to trust laura and believe her
if he chose to trust her she will win against luca and he will accept her after everything she has done to him
if he chose not to, it will probably end realy bad for harry...

Well... I guess the two endings will be
1. Laura wins her scheme and they live happily after that
2. Something goes wrong and Harry has to go to work from now on while laura and luca are fucking like beasts around the office

I just don't get how some people still think Laura can still 'win' somehow in hero route. How? She literally in HER OWN PERSPECTIVE screaming the same shit when she was being fucked by Luca in the final sex scene in this route. How the hell we can assume she's faking it when all her inner dialogues/monologues are literally the same as how she enjoyed Luca from other routes? There was no hints of 'plans'/'resistance' whatsoever in her mind? What, was she afraid that Luca can read her mind? I thought Luca is only a alpha bully, not a telepath.

If HC made an excuse by saying they were trying to hid her plans from us, then what's the point of showing us 'Laura's perspective' itfp? I'm more inclined to think that it's just HC's intention to show us that all routes would still end up the same regardless for Laura. Whoever thought that she's a strong-willed & smart woman, no she's not. She even admitted that she ACTUALLY hates to be perceived that way. That's why she came to despise Harry in all existing routes. Because he worships her too much.

I never said that Laura was going to win. What would winning even be at this point? Perhaps some sort of pyrrhic victory is possible though. So far the only person winning here is Luca. Everyone else has already lost. I do think Laura can take that away from him though, even if it destroys Her in the process. What better way to be a "hero" than to be a martyr, saving those you love, and everyone else from an evil villain?

She is saying the same things as in other endings, but that isn't the point. In fact, it's important for her plan for Luca to think he's still winning. We don't see what is going on inside her head in that scene- and that's because HC is a good writer (of what he does write, the "finished" endings still need a denouement). That would give away the game, take away the suspense. Why still show those scenes from her perspective? It's a porn game, and that's where the porn is.

Laura doesn't hate being thought of as strong-willed and smart - she hates being held up on a pedestal for being those things, for being seen as infallible, for being relied on to be so strong and smart. None of that changes the fact that she is still very smart, and relatively strong willed. I think Luca has also done a good job of teaching her the limitations of her willpower over the last few weeks. She can plan around that, which is why I think her new and uncharacteristic rules are an intentional part of her plan. I think she defined "winning" that encounter with Luca as getting those rules in place, no matter the cost. She despised Harry in the other routes because he couldn't understand that she was a fallible human being. That's not the case this time.

I agree it's weird, though mostly because I think it's weird that she hadn't come up with a plan earlier. It's like she lost the ability to think logically after Luca gave her the first few orgasms. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the cervix. She had a lot of time over the last few weeks when Luca wasn't actively fucking her to regain her center and think about things logically and hadn't until now. I think Harry understanding her is meant to be the impetus for her to re-center and think things through logically and start planning. It doesn't make a ton of sense, but I think that's what HC is going with.

I think there is a distinct possibility that in one ending Sandra will get a sex scene with Harry (then probably a bunch with Luca afterwards). I suspect that another ending will have Harry staying true to Laura, and maybe Sandra will fall on Luca's sword to try to save Laura and Harry.

Can someone explain how the alternative endings differ from the main three (normal, sharp, hero), Specifically I saw screenshots where they are highlighted in yellow and there is something about the future. And also what is this bonus scene? Is it in the main game or is it a separate mini-game from the author?
