There are only a few times that being nice has ever really bitten me in the ass. I'd rather be "the nice guy" who misses out on a few good fucks than an asshole who can't stand to look at himself in the mirror. Although, in my experience, assholes rarely know they are an asshole and most likely can't see that in a mirror!

The world is not divided only into nice guys and assholes.
You can be a good guy with the right morals, but adopt the useful skills of the so-called assholes - don't simp, don't put girls on a pedestal, don't chase them, be ready to always walk away from her, don't get into her friendzone, don't tolerate disrespect, always put yourself first place, etc.

I don't think that makes you a bad person.

My theory for Steph's big secret is Steph had a break down after Chuck and needed to be Institutionalised. If she had serious emotional problems after the break up then it is understandable she would want that kept a secret. The one exception should be her husband to be should have been told before marriage if that is the case. Steph being who she is would have no trouble deceiving MC to keep him rather than risking him dumping her prior to marriage.

It also explains her erratic behaviour at times and how she often loses control (especially when it come to sexual situations) and feels bad about it afterwards. Something Steph tells MC herself.

How I arrived here was I was back tracking through the update posts trying to find a reference to another matter I was PMing with someone about. I came across this statement by the devs:

"There will come a point where I need Steph to be standing in the street late at night looking like she’s about to murder everyone in front of her. She has to be able to achieve a certain calm severity in her look for that scene to work."

This got me thinking Steph is going to lose it at some stage, but what if she already had lost it and is relapsing in this scene...

Anyway, just a theory.

Looks like a fix is coming for the 2 bugs I reported. If it just fixes the 2 bugs and nothing else then just using my walkthrough mod will work for those that got the game from this site. Saves a 5G download. Only drawback is game version won’t be incremented.

Will report further once update is out and I have a chance to go through it.

As far as I can tell the new game version 1.06h just fixes the aforementioned bugs and increments version number. No new content. So if you have my WT mod v1.3 installed it should already be fixed.

Or.. all of this could be just overthinking and there is actually no theories to decipher and it's just bad WRITING

It's just my theory though..

Things I tell my sons. Things I wish I would have discovered 40years ago and saved myself a lot of grief...

You could be right there, the devs maybe just leading us all on a wild goose chase

Maybe the "calm severity" and standing "looking like she's about to murder everyone" is more like a metaphor. Maybe more like "dead serious" is the image they are trying to get across. That just seems so extreme. We're talking about swingers here. Why would this level of seriousness ever come up in that context?

So, there is the whole shadow corp story. This will obviously put Jason and the MC, possibly the spouses, in a dangerous line of fire. Maybe that is where this will come into play.

Also, I have been wondering If Steph Is going to be in other games
Does that mean the mc will be too?
Or will she divorce him and we play as a new mc?
Because that does not sound good to me

I would love to know more about upcoming projects. This is all I currently know.
From Too Perilous Weekly Update #5 on Steam

If we have our way, we’re going to be playing with Steph and Tori through several games. As a result, we have put a lot of time into getting them right not just for this story, but for the long story as well.

Fortunately, being a good guy doesn't mean being a doormat. I am way too old to use words like "simp" and concepts that drive me crazy these days. But being good doesn't mean doing all those things. And you are right, the world is more than black and white aspects of good and bad. There are deep psychological and biological things happening within and between those two extremes. It is quite interesting to study. Personally, I fit on the moral high road. There are times when I wish that overdeveloped sense could be muted!

A very ambiguous message. Considering her explosive nature, it seems like her natural reaction to some serious quarrel with the MC.

But yes, perhaps her dominant and explosive personality appeared precisely after the break-up with Chuck and her emotional breakdown.

Can anyone tell me what happen here :

Replaced another animation from earlier in the game. ( where was this )
Added new animation to one of the scenes with Jason and Steph. ( Which one )

I see no changes.

Hmmm yeah I'm not sure, I played all the paths and didnt notice anything different? It might be something minor, like one of the shots of jason+steph missionary on couch. But nothing jumped out at me (or particularly rectified earlier complaints about no explicit sex)

The game only tracks confronting Steph about the phone call if the 'train' event was triggered the night before. Is this intentional or a bug?

Upcoming change.

Wonder if they ever can go more than 60 seconds without pushing an update?
