Are you serious? I thought there was only two.
it's not really 22 endings. It's variations based on which of the 4 girls you chose, whether you cheated, and 3 variations with Liam.

and then there are 5 special bonus post-credits scenes that depend on which ending variation you took.

I'm emotionally devastated and just feel depressed after finishing this game. I ended up with Melissa and just want someone like her in my life to care about me. I feel like such an awful lonely wreck and wish I could turn back time to play this game again. Anyone have any coping mechanisms?
Read an article one time about how not just pornography but a lot of fiction in general is depressing form of enjoyment because most fiction is just a narcissistic fantasy, and it can get to the point that you prefer your fictional fantasy life over your real one.

Don't really know any coping mechanisms, but if you are so deeply affected by it I'd suggest cutting off the porn and tv for a month or so. Enjoying your real life is more important than playing these timesinks.

Ya. Instead of wishing for someone to care about you, it's better to go out and find someone to care about.

Great advice but not everyone can just go out and find what they need. It's not just a matter of lack of trying. We are not all equipped the same and someone is not and will never be equipped enough. And since we are, by no mean, a sympathetic spiece, even if some indivitual is and other are, occasionally, life is dreadful for some. I can only wish the best luck to our friend and renew the advice to reach out as much as he can.

Suddenly grimdark drama out of nowhere that additionally is completely unrealistic, considering it's just a small house with windows right next to them.
Just drama for the sake of adding drama with no sense whatsoever.
Actually, there's a reason why they were on the floor, and it is explained at the end.

Even if it is explained later there are zero hints something like this could possible happen beforehand.
That's just bad story-telling imo.
The whole drama with Liam was done 100x better and very enjoyable to read.
DPC's fan boys rush to the defense at the first opportunity. He intended to blindside the player. Hints only matter if the player can act on them, and that opportunity was never available, and the disaster is unavoidable. So yes. Bad story telling.

Bad story telling? If a story is predictable, then it's bad story telling. I understand that you just do not like negative events in your games. I was merely letting you know that the event was not unrealistic. Nothing to do with whether the story was enjoyable or not. If you want to argue that people should be informed of such events in advance, that's fine; but you can't claim that it's bad story telling and unrealistic.

It's preference really. She is too much of a goody person, which I don't believe is easy to get along with as a partner. I'd have to handle her with gloves.

That makes a lot of sense actually and luckily it was just a momentary slump for me. Rather new to visual novels and it just subverted my expectations a bit too much since even BADIK didn't hit me as hard.

Mhh interesting game, strangely enough i think the Rena ending with Melissa and the Cum-Slut moment was my favourite!
Not a fan of Megan to be fair so i guess people might have a different opinion.

All in all a wild ride.
Even tho i'm not a fan of "dramatic VN's" ... i already have enough drama in real life :BootyTime:

I also enjoyed Rena ending, but I liked Melissa the most. However, in her ending, I had to ask "where's the baby?!". Just feel cheated.
