Yeah, I understand. I don't see Steph or Fiona (Last Call) as comparable either, not that I felt Steph's explanation was very good at all. The whole setup of this game, where Cassandra fucked over the MC and he ended up with trust issues, makes me skeptical about the whole HoI, Reina, and Cassandra. The MC won't drink alcohol because of Cassandra's betrayal and a desire not to lose control yet he will allow himself to be naked and blindfolded in a room full of strangers? He spent three years in therapy trying to work through his trust issues yet he instantly moves in with Kindra and trusts her completely? And then, theoretically, he is going to forgive and trust Reina AND maybe eventually forgive Cassandra...I wasn't laughing at you, that laugh was aimed squarely at whoever is thinking making her a love interest is a good idea.
I read a lot of really dumb shit on these forums, a LOT of really dumb shit.
Nothing quite so dumb as someone writing a character to be an utter cunt then deciding "I know .... she'll be perfect for romance because tits" I say tits because she has no personality.
These stories take a bit of suspension of disbelief as it is but making a woman that was the personal antagonist of the MC and literally fucked his life up then making that person a love interest is dumb beyond all compare.
Someone mentioned Steph from Leap of Faith who's only crime was ghosting the MC, that was it. She didn't steal his lifes work and leave him drunk in the gutter needing therapy just to go out, no comparison.
I don't...
I can't.....
That's just silly as fuck.
It can't be true...
In order to make that work would take mental gymnastics even Simone Biles couldn't compete with.
She ruined his life, there is no redemption ark for that.
"I lost everything thanks to you, spent years in therapy living in squalor barely surviving with constant thoughts of suicide ....... wanna bang"
Yeah, I really feel the whole sorority was totally useless and hurt the story more than helped it.Yeah, I understand.

Just really have to see how the story proceeds, maybe digi.b will leave Cassandra as the antagonist and we will get some more flashbacks of the MC's relationship with her. I really want there to be nothing in terms of a reconciliation or redemption for Cassandra. I don't want the whole "females all must be fuckable" rule that some people have on here to play out. Nor do I want to see a large amount of development time spent on Cassandra as anything other than an antagonist. Guess we shall have to wait and see... Anxious for more of the game to come out.
I loved everything apart from the job part because I know the story is going to make us work there yet nobody with any common sense would take that job now.Just really have to see how the story proceeds,
Kindra... And yeah, the MC wasn't great to her but then a teenager in high school who is dating the "love of his life" wouldn't be expected to be a super awesomely sensitive person.Yeah, I really feel the whole sorority was totally useless and hurt the story more than helped it.
Among all, I'd still say that the thing I dislike the most is how MC treated the nerdy girl (sorry, cannot remember her name). Not only it made MC a very unlikeable character in that regard, it is also very inconsistent.
I mean, no matter how in love you are. You had made significant process with her, would you really discard all that? Doubtful.
Anyway, I am hoping these are all nitpicky things, and the story really focus on nerdy girl, Artemis and Koko.
I agree with every word you just typed, we may have to create a drinking game for every time we roll our eyes while playing the game. LOLI loved everything apart from the job part because I know the story is going to make us work there yet nobody with any common sense would take that job now.
There is no job security which I hope people looking for full time employment would be looking for. She turned him down for fickle reasons and is about to change her mind yet again. I wouldn't trust her as employer as far as I could throw a tank and being a tiny girl with all the strength of a wet noodle my chances of throwing a skateboard any distance isn't high nevermind something that weighs in the tonnes.
Don't trust her, don't like her. I'd rather clean toilets and live off Pot Noodles than wonder if i'm going to get another phonecall telling me my jobs gone because the owner of the company can't think for herself.
Then there is a Cass as a love interest that I just find laughable.
Then again, the simple fact someone even mentioned a Cass route shows people give zero fucks about the story and just see tits so I really shouldn't be surprised.
I would find it hard to take it seriously if she was a love interest. It would make me think this is a comedy and we're just waiting for the punchline.
I'm hoping the dev has far more sense than to take a character that ruined the MC's life and make her a love interest. It doesn;t get any less dumb the more I type it.
If my liver packs up and moves out it's totally your fault.I agree with every word you just typed, we may have to create a drinking game for every time we roll our eyes while playing the game. LOL
I was talking less about "sensible guy" and more about "you created koko with her". And koko was a freaking success!Kindra... And yeah, the MC wasn't great to her but then a teenager in high school who is dating the "love of his life" wouldn't be expected to be a super awesomely sensitive person.
LOL, perhaps we can get a two for one discount cuz I'm fairly sure I've consumed enough scotch for my liver to move to Scotland without me.If my liver packs up and moves out it's totally your fault.
Yes, at this point, we only have three options.I loved everything apart from the job part because I know the story is going to make us work there yet nobody with any common sense would take that job now.
We know it has to happen, but hopefully we don't have to suspend our believe too much for it. It would also not be satisfying if this male protagonist ended up taking over a female owned and led company due to his "uber maleness." I'm sure we have some players who'd love to enact that particular fantasy, but I would be sorely disappointed.There is no job security which I hope people looking for full time employment would be looking for.

Laughable? Spit-take-able!Then there is a Cass as a love interest that I just find laughable.

In a some ways, I join you in that minority opinion. Even though in my playthrough I hope to inflict as much pain on Cassandra as possible, I like knowing my choices really matter, and that there are other options that go in a completely different direction. Even though I won't take the redemption path, knowing it's available improves the game experience for me. I assume that's a lot of extra work for the developer. But considering the apparent productivity of digi.B, I think it's feasible.I know that I am in the minority, but I like Cassandra and would really like to see several routes with her.
For example, it looks like the game will have a route of redemption. I have no idea how it will be done, given that everything she did to the MC, but it could be a story where she loses everything, rethinks her actions, starts going to the same psychiatrist as MC, and together they try to reconcile and heal mental trauma.
It doesn't have to be a love line, it could just be a story where they make peace with each other.
Or it could be a story where Cassandra is desperate (because she cannot finish her project) offers the MC a place in the company, a partnership, herself and a lot of money in return for his soul. Such a deal with the devil.
If something like this happens, I will be glad. If not, I will not be upset, because, for now, the main girls for me in the game are Kindra, Kati, and Paige.
Agreed. I'm a big believer in redemption, and while I can't yet see how it would fit with the story we've seen so far, I have confidence in digi.B to write a rational, feasible story.I know that I am in the minority, but I like Cassandra and would really like to see several routes with her.
I'm with you on this one - although I think it will mostly be so the MC isn't dependent on Kindra financially whilst working on Artemis.I think #1 is the only viable one for the story
I can't wait for the next chapter to be released... any idea how to become a beta tester?However, that said I'll be sending the beta for testing before this weekend!!
Cassandra is in the LIs screen in the game, so unless Digi.b take her out of there, we have to assume the woman has a route. Obviously the simplest approach is a redemption arc. But that's my issue with that. Cassandra is not a troubled person, her actions were calculated as fuck, so, i wouldn't like that.I know that I am in the minority, but I like Cassandra and would really like to see several routes with her.

For me, the Cassie route should be like the dark side route in old Star Wars games. One where the MC becomes a villain protagonist. Interestingly, for me a start of darkness route would be more feasible than a redemption one for Cassandra. She seems way too narcisistic and/or sociopathic to have some kind of epiphany.
