Sorry, as a non-native speaker, I have to ask. What is the difference between the Romantic Route and the Cuckold Route? Doesn't one route always include the other?
No, the different themes don't always include the other. That depends on the author that writes the story. Some authors may include crossover themes and some may keep them separated. It really depends on them.

Cuckold (NTR) - A man who willingly encourages his wife to sleep with other people because it brings him pleasure. Cuckolds exist on a spectrum between two extremes. One on end is the masochistic cuckold who enjoys humiliations, degradation, and other demeaning activities at the hands of his wife and her lover. The alpha cuckold lies at the opposite end of the spectrum and does not enjoy any form of humiliation and often has a direct say in who his wife sleeps with and when.

Romantic - Someone who wants to make their partner/lover feel special, so they will do and/or give things that are considered to prove their love for the other person.

Lust - When you think you love someone but you only want them sexually.


There is an option with Dylan at some point he will be able to watch Sophia with other guys if the reader chooses this option in their path. Which the romantic route will be different and it only involves Dylan and Sophia with no one else, if the reader chooses this option.

It has started to give vibes of money milking where dev is just gonna keep on postponing good content to build hype and mint enough money he can or maybe I am wrong as the tag (vaginal sex) is just for her husband and no one else.
Writing was on the wall 2 years ago.

Better hardware, more patron money = less in-game time per update & more development time needed.
High paying patrons also do not get their money's worth.

Makes 0 sense.

Ok, I understand how you define these routes for this game. Thanks very much!
I.e. Dylan should at some point enjoy watching Sam sleep with his mother? And should Sophia accept that? What a descent!

Almost 4 years of development :
- more than 9k renders
- all of this for almost only blue balls scenes (nobody gives a damn about the good wife route, be honest)

what an achievement ! some have dreamed of it, L&P finally did it
It is a slow burn game after all.
It is so slow that you can feel yourself as Mercury and game development is all the kids in Xavier Institute.

Can Sam's route really be called romantic. I mean I get why people refer to it as a romantic path, Sam acting like a hopeless romantic etc but behind this facade the reality isn't pure at all. The guy too wants Sophia's body. We do know what he thinks about Sophia from his exchange with Dylan in the initial game days.

I don't want to use any negative terms but I wouldn't really call something with such adulterated or impure intentions a romantic path. It's just another approach to deceive Sophia and get in her pants.
Though yeah .....Everyone's free to have their own opinion.
And again with the Sam bashing.... Yawn....

I'm going to start hating on a random character just so we get some new energy in this thread. Maybe I'll hate on Jules because she's clearly manipulating Sophia because no one is that innocent. Maybe I'll hate on the mailman. I'll find someone and write a very impassioned takedown. Maybe Zach because fuck him and his gorgeous hair.

OK, Sabertooth__ we know you don't like Sam. But quit saying you appreciate other points of view when in reality you don't. I see Sam differently. Not perfect but, a teenager, immature, and swayed by emotions as well as hormones. Sophia has admitted in another world she could see dating Sam. She puts the romance option in right there. So you see it differently fine. We agree to disagree and quit with the 'I ain't bashing your point of view' bashing. Just Sayin'!

Here is a curious point. What is Sam's role. Dylan, Ellie Patricia incest. Ellie, Patricia, Alyssa, etc... Lesbianism. Aiden, Bennet Blackmail/forced. Liam, Andy, Cathy swingers? Sam romance. There are probably a dozen variations and other paths I cannot think of at the moment. Consider this, none of us can be, in the reality of our mind, Dylan or Ellie. They are Sophia's kids. Patricia is Sophia's sister. How do you get that blood relationship? Those are difficult positions to translate into. Therefore, it is, for me, difficult to relate to those paths. However, all of us can substitute for Sam or Alyssa. We can all easily place ourselves in that role since the only link is proximity. It is not Alyssa it is GingerSweetGirl. It is not Sam it is t3alqdansam. Maybe I am way to simplistic here. But, it works for me.

Good idea, while I take care of his mother :sneaky: And if you have any hate left, you can hate me, I don't mind :rolleyes::cool:
Haha I'm full of hate, but I can make room for one more if that's what you're into.

No who I want to dislike? Carl. He's a rich jerk, but we've barely seen him in years. Maybe I'll commit my hate towards him.

Alley_Cat and Talcum Powder have the best handle (pun intended) on that. 1 to 2 years depending...
More like one or two decades

Jules doesn't need to manipulate Sophia, Ellie already includes Jules as part of her own manipulations. Jules just happens to be one hell of a kisser. We just don't know yet if she is just as good as Aussie kissing as French.

A few years ago I asked him if there would be a romantic path with Sophia and Dylan. Yes, there would be, at least three paths. The romantic one, the cuckold one and the third... I don't know. But I guess he scrapped the 3rd one.
And again, on the romantic. It may be, of course, that the relationship of the two consists only of the satisfaction of lust. But we should keep one thing in mind. Sophia loves her son. So all it takes is a spark (it's a porn game, mind you!) that the mother's love for her son could turn into romance.
My guess is that could happen when he gives her a massage. It's the best option for him to get her naked while he takes care of her, and she'll be relaxed from getting a massage and thus more open to thinking about more daring things with him.
