yea i played 1 houer of version from here but liked it so i bought the version on steam and it even carry over save files. right now my head is just a rolercoaster.. story just geeting good. having both girls and then the thing happend. wont spoil but if u know u know. so many difrent endings you can get jesus.. and hard to look them all up online. since not many post them only in text versions. i found 3 myself but 2 much emotion to go into all while trying to read text. theres like what 20 endings but alot is same endings but with alt small endings..
Just played it, and while it did affect me emotionally, intellectually I can also recognise how manipulative the writing is. DrPinkcake Leah'd all his players. It's a shame because I think it would have been a much better story and game without the fire. The tensions between the love interests should have been allowed to reach their own conclusions without bringing in the "if you had to choose one of your children from a fire" bullshit.

true true. i feel tho its a bit like tatanic and when jacks dies. it would been Poggers if he lived but i dont think the whole movie would leave same impact. i feel like a big part of that and this game is that we remeber this pain and emotions. even if we think its bad or wrong lets say theres no fire. and it all nice and maybe ur friend dies of cancer but i dont think it would left same impact and that random fire out of no where when evrything is topping off great finnaly i think you/we might say . pretty good game 7/10 and would not revisit or only ever so sligtly rethink it or revisit. now il have it in my part of brain forever il play these kinds of games i played like lets say 5 of these novel games fully before this one. i dont remeber more then 20% of them becsaue they did not really leave a big impact on me only 1 other so far. and some i did not even finish other then those 5. this one i 100% will remeber and can relate / think back on. even if i disagree or agree on there shuld be other endings. even if its soooo super hard to happend there shuld maybe be 1% u could save both.
just my opinion but i can relate to alot of stuff in it. hard family life. parents divoice. ( parent taking drugs ) shitty school life. gf cheating on someone. so it hits in the feels for me . for i can relate / in live and being a part of the game while playing.
btw sry for potato english. not my main and im kinda wordblind or whatever its called in english haha.

Just finish the game lol...
I thought the game was like other game...just before i know there were storm brewing next to the hospital...fk Leah...it hit straight home...
I got the bad ending...that damn nurse when i have avoid Bro Peter.
I think there were 2 character that gonna give u consequences for your action.
Although it was a finally a happy ending...but still endup with the EX in the end when i myself hate her.
The accident make it end that way...well if u don't wanna feel sad to play the game just skip...cause this game make u feel.

Yup. If you go and look at the support curves by patrons, shortly after the "fire" update was released DPC got noticed. It took a bit of time, but his support curve (and the release of his next game) just takes off. Without the strong emotional reaction and the attention if brought, that would not have happened.
Of course the "customer base" for these games has become much more sophisticated. Now killing a main LI without cause usually results in a heavy backlash. But DPC got there first, and the whole "choices have consequences" meme and his fan boys protected him.
As if. People cry every time a story isn't pure wish fulfillment. Wouldn't call that sophisticated.
The problem is rather that I haven't seen a porn game dev, yet, who's equipped to offer anything sophisticated. And again, I don't believe the "customer base" would even want that, when for many of them shallow hollywoodesque drama is already enough to pee their pants and cry about it.

If you look hard enough on both games of DPC you will see the ex-theme in both of them. As DPC once said most of the stories he writes he heard or seen IRL.
EX-theme is somewhat crucial in both of them. In this game it became one of endings, in BaDIK it will become.
Personally I think DPC experienced that hard relationship ending before and portrait it in both of his games. That's why it feels alive - it comes from IRL experience.
As far as I can see most of incest game devs never had siblings IRL, most of drama games devs never had real drama in his (her) lives. That's why these genres dying out - people who's trying to write it never experienced it IRL. They only have their dreams, but dreams often lies. The real live story always better then dreamed one.

Depends on what you mean, but if were talking about my favourite then, Mel(guess my sig gives that away). I vibed with her character most, and think she was the best written.
'bout u?

I started and finished the story last night. Now today I gather my thoughts on this, Megan is good for the MC because their both similar in an emotional sense, and compassionate nature. While, Melissa fits more of his forward nature, and is just as emotionally broken as he is.
Now my opinion I loved both girls but I clicked with Melissa more and during the fire, I saved and then picked Melissa first and then Megan. I have to say Megan's death was more painful to sit thru than Melissa's. The MC and Melissa comforting each other without saying a word felt more powerful than Megan ending. Now Rena route I am not going back to do it, I do not think I handle breaking both girls hearts. Maybe I might do it in the future but not now.

Look at my signature. She cannot be any cuter.
Nice deflection.
I note the fact that you didn't include my reference to the actual response of the fan base as sampled at the time.
There are many points I could make, but my original comment stands.

The one you like the most, i guess.
I personally went for Megan. I'm not sure why. I was going to a more manslut approach at the beginning, but when i started realizing this wasn't that kind of game i rebooted with a monogamous route. But since you can't avoid interactions with Megan (a think i really despise in this games) i sticked with her i guess. At the 'decision' moment it felt like she was the one with the most to lose and i coulden't bring myself to chose the other option.
There are also other routes i believe.

Yeah she does have more to lose her death was way more sad than Melissa. It's ten times worst if you had sex with The sluts, Rena or his ex. Melissa will say that you never loved them (If you had sex with Melissa and more it'll be love triangle turned threesome).
Each Megan or Melissa will break up with the MC if you cheated especially if you just had sex with Rena (without romancing her) & the ex. It hurts more with Megan because she dealt with that shit before, she's so angry that she cussing him out and blamed him for Melissa death for making Leah crazy by being a Cumslut. Melissa does the same but she wishes she never met the MC.

My problem with Megan is that she feels like she was designed for the MC, as opposed to her own person. She's a Mary Sue, and as a result their relationship feels "too good to be true", all their problems were external as opposed to any internal ones. Even if you vibe with somebody really well, there's going to be bumps, maybe not big ones, but ones to at least give you a bit of pause(hell their biggest internal issue was whether Megan was ready to take a chance on their relationship or not). I think the Thrupple scenario with Melissa would have been perfect, it doesn't need to be a huge fight but it could be something that they do have to overcome, to finally get to that point where Megan say "okay i'm willing to try this out because i love you both", but nope she's just accepts it.
I do agree about Megan's death, one she had this great career, and relationship going for her, then you have the fact, that Megan was Melissa's rock, her soul-mate, she had a really shit life, and that was the one person who helped her get through it all, and now she's gone, not to demean Melissa's death or anything, but it definitely feels like the depth of pain is greater on that side. The "comforting scene" was also more powerful because of how real it felt. Most narratives like to use some melodramatic dialogue or moment to represent "healing", but DPC going for that approach shows how much he understands, how powerful simply having somebody there can be. Just knowing that there's somebody who understands what your going through, and is simply willing to be there without expecting anything else from you can be extremely comforting.
