I find the Athena/Heidi relationship interesting, especially where it concerns the MC's participation. They both insist there is no emotion to their relationship (something I have a hard time comprehending as being entirely true). So, are they just placeholders until either of them develops a real relationship? Sex only?

We are coming into the part of the story that might shed more light here. As now, the MC has developed an actual relationship with either Athena or Heidi (based on the reader's choices). Was the intention to have a poly relationship to begin with?

I wonder if they will stay together, all three, or if the focus will be on the couple with the other woman being occasionally part of the sexual relationship. So many places to go...

I know, but even so, it doesn't make sense for hide to ask for loyalty if she won't be faithful and if mc does the same, he's the villain?

She doesn't demand loyalty, she demands honesty.

She has no problems at all if you want to bang Athena, Sadie and Mora as long as you tell them about it.

However if you do go for those 4 or any combination of their group you have to remember it's a poly relationship so the girls are still going to have sex with each other too. It's not a harem where all girls just service the man, everyone is equal.

It's not that in depth, the next update is the final one so what you see now is what you get.

There are emotions involved they are just denying it but if you pick one of their solo routes then you'll see what happens.

As for if all 3 stay together on that route, yes, it's one of the endings in the next update.

Interesting idea but I had to stop playing after ten minutes because Athena's attitude makes me want to punch her in the face.

Then you're missing quite a good experience. Athena may start a little hard on us, though she isn't that bad compared to other girls from other visual novels IMO, and even her solo path is worth it.

And you can always pursue other love interests aside of Athena.

Yes, I was very happy when the MC almost immediately called them out on that - like "uh, no you obviously DO love each other, and ARE together, don't downplay your feelings", which is pretty much exactly what I was saying at my screen at the time. :LOL:

The framing of that was great, acknowledging their relationship and openly seeking to clarify his interest in them/ where he fit in with that, all in the same breath.

Well if you go solo with either of them, they get pretty emotional... enough to leave. So I say they love each other. But I will not ever split them up again... was way to sad.

I did the Athena route (for reasons) ... I'm not even going to try the Heidi route.

Heidi's solo route is the most emotional.

On Athena's it's not so bad because Heidi sneaks out so only you catch her. On Heidi's she catches Athena trying to leave and has a massive breakdown.

That was fucking brutal :cry:
I feel dirty. Wishing I hadn't done that now. Fuck!
Edit; One of the only games I have played where it is painful to NOT date Everyone!

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme....

Many choice-based narrative games present choices that aren't really choices at all. Bare Witness demonstrates that a story tree mastered from start to finish can hit the nail on the head with a light touch. There's no need for complicated narration, just a palette of colorful characters, sweetly erotic scenes and a red thread that just begs to be unwound through us. A totally different experience from one choice to the next, with real impact, that's a pleasure to see.

Can't wait to see what happens next, my friend, good job! ;)(y)
