I just now paused playing the (renpy) demo right after the basketball game to log on and say this is an extraordinary achievement. Does it have its drawbacks? Of course, and they've been mentioned here already (my criticism is that the long transitions are grating because they inhibit replayability). But drawbacks aside, this release is impressive. I'm not even done with this current release yet and I'm already looking forward to the next!
A question, though: Every choice seems to be "Be good" or "Do nothing" or "Be Bad"... has anyone explored this game or delved deeper into the code to see if there are legit reasons not to choose the "filthy" options or the options that increase the "+1" for Dylan, Sam, Patricia, etc? In every scenario that's been presented so far, there seems no reason to make any other choice other than to be naughty, especially since Liam must be code-word for LAME. Why would anyone play the Good Wife role when the husband is nothing worth pursuing? I'm just curious if avoiding some routes mean opening routes for Ellie.... mmmmmmmm, Ellie. Wow, she's hot!
