I tried the game a while ago, maybe 2 or 3 years ago. Dont know exactly why anymore, but i didnt liked it that time...
I do have my problems with female protag. The main reason, lets be honest, nearly not a single DEV can really write out of the view of a girl/lady its most of the time just stupid and ridiculous. There are very very few exceptions, like Eva Kiss' games (gggb and our red string) aaaaaand... yeah thats about it already, dont know any other game where the female protag was well made.
So... i give this game another try. And it grows to me. I like the slow build up and that you always have a choice how Sophia acts. Most of the time its reasonable too and little plots are making sense overall. And if you "reject" or "refuse" something or somebody, there plot for this person ends just there and thats it. So yeah, i like the game a lot... until now
Cause now iam at the point where this idiot Aiden tried to blackmail her so he will leave Zac and Dylan alone. And now it annoys me very much. I dont want to give that douche what he wants, never ever... call Patricia, shoot him in the foot or threaten him. Why was that a option for the rapists but not for him and his wannabe gang? So i can decline the "deal" i have done that... and now... pretty much the whole game goes down the drain. Dylans Storyline is practically screwed, just like Zacs and Alyssas too. And it has influence on other storylines too. I stopped now, cause i lost motivation... so much is tied to the Aiden-blackmail its really annoying, just... WHY?... after a while, cause i didnt want to let the game go, i looked up the walkthrough if there is away out of the Aidenblackmail along the road, even with revenge cause that douche deserve a beating and i want to see it.
Buuuut no... the walkthrough shows, one Aiden event follows another with no consequences for him. And at every event Sophia can cancel the deal but yeah... same result as if she would refuse him the first time, Dylan has to go to boarding school and so on...
So yeah... the game died for me with that storyline pretty much... But i dont want to give up that easily cause without that issue the game is very nice. Only the Aiden blackmail ruins everything and that so many other things are tied to it.
So after a little thaught about it... i just wanted to ask some people who know more about the game.
Is there a way to get back at Aiden soon (and it has to be in a really satisfying way and giving him a lesson for a lifetime) or has Sophia to play along so long that it doesnt matter anymore in the firstplace... i mean, task #2 is already too much (and dont even start with #3), at this point she could pretty much have sex with him in front of the whole class too, doesnt matter anymore, its gone too far anyways. I would kinda endure it if at task 4 the whole thing would turn around and Aiden gets what he deserves... but the walkthrough doesnt show it, so i gues... if i follow the blackmail path with Aiden he get what he wants and Sophia will even like it? Cause thats how it goes so far... i looked up the 3 task in the gallery, and its obvious that if Sophia plays along, she kinda likes it even and it makes my skin scrawl.
But yeah... dont follow the blackmail path makes me miss so many scenes with others already, i stumbled a lot over scenes in the walkthrough i didnt have cause of the aiden blackmail.
So yeah... its basically like this, if i dont follow the Aidenblackmail i practically stop the Zac, Alyssa and Dylan storyline too (and who knows what else) that is just... ugh.
