Still can't decide if it's going to be a crazy cousin plot or MC having some kind of disassociation disorder with what happened to them when they were younger. If it's the latter that's gonna be harder to write for I feel. Try to woo the girl only for the MC to be the one that kidnapped her and potentially beat her. Might just all be a headfake though and the cabin will be empty.

Not sure why but those buttons are completely missing in mine, really annoying to be satuck with multiples of 10 pages so in effect only 19 pages of saves possible.

It's just a beta, and they are already at "fix 3". The complete and official version should be out soon.

Didn't read every comment but did anyone theorize that the other twin could be the culprit? Natalie it seems crazy but with Sophie she's annoyed that Natalie is brought up while she's missing and doesn't seem to give a fuck about her at all. Just a thought while reading some of the comments.

Idk man, that's too farfetched. If anybody among them that's a little bit suspicious... I'd say it'd be Elly coz no matter how I start the game like going to party in every scenario, she manages to pop in. Like awfully weird

Definite stalker vibes either from a long standing grudge or a teenage infatuation resulting in jealousy.

The loading of saves isn't working and I'm not talking about previous updates. I mean saves from this update

Guys, I'm using JoiPlay same problem I'm facing.
The problem is "the page buttons and first page numbers(1-9) are missing"

After reading the scripts the dev added gamepad/controller in the save/load option.

JoiPlay have gamepad function that's why the option not showing.

To access the button in JoiPlay Hide or Delete the line in the screens script file (save_load.rpy).

That's All Guys....

I play on PC and have 0 use for Android or Joiplay and still the same problem, that's that the screenshot is from. I guess I'll just wait for a next fix update. You'd think devs would test and fix obvious broken things before releasing it, minor hidden bugs that only pop up with a certain string of actions I can understand but gee wiz.

Sure.
I'm just changed now working in my phone.

It has been theorized, but while both of them say things that could indicate their involvement, I don't buy it. Sophie is a seriously damaged person, but I don't believe that she has the motivation to harm her sister just because Natalie kissed some dude she herself has a slight interest in.

This is an interesting game. Sexy and interesting Lis with chemistry with the mc, mystery elements, and an MC who is reserved but can actually stand up for himself.

It is weird for One of two twin Lis to be kidnapped for the entire game so far.

The thing that pisses me off with the last chapter is the mc being forced to become a drug mule. That is utterly stupid and a deal breaker for me. I don't like to play as a criminal or be involved in that shit. He's already on the police radar as a suspect for kidnapping and you want to add drug possession and dealing to that? Good luck with that. All to save a girl he met for ten minutes.

It's not even a player choice, it's just forced on you. I understand the mc has to get proactive in the kidnapping story but that just doesn't feel like a sensible or organic way to do that.

I thought that was really off too, especially since Andre, the dude that took you there, is my #2 suspect. Not a deal breaker for me, but still a very strange, unnecessary storyline.
