I don't know how many time DPC is gonna need to beat people over the head with "its not that you helped a friend. It's that you MISSED having a turning point moment with Jill" but clearly that bench conversation where she explicitly says that isn't enough
Seems like an easy choice for me. The answer is to not pick up the phone and then to go on the date with Jill!I don't know how many time DPC is gonna need to beat people over the head with "its not that you helped a friend.

people would be fine with it if it wasnt such a ridiculously contrived dilemma that only exists because MC cant communicate, just like all the other forced drama moments where MC forgets how to speak words to resolve a problem/misunderstanding.I don't know how many time DPC is gonna need to beat people over the head with "its not that you helped a friend.

Turning down a girl in dating VN always has clear and appropriate consequences. It's not rocket science.
Sarcasm is lost on me. This fixed it and there were no further bugs. Sad to see so little movement in the game.View attachment 2259562
Page 1, original post. This should fix your issue.
I was being sarcastic with that comment
I mean it could be worse... Could be a burning house or something...
eh, thats debatable
Well, yes, but it's seriously pretty normal convention for dating games. If you're presented with choice between two or more events, you'll always want to pick the event with the girl you pursue, otherwise you risk the game will treat it as opting out of her route. Now, some games are gracious enough they won't require *all* of girl's events for successful outcome, but you shouldn't really count on it.
im not sure i agree that there is little sense in having a more believable story when possible. but we can just agree to disagree if thats the case
Dr Pink Cake is funny as f*ck! There's a lot of hidden funny s*it in his episodes. Excellent detective work bud! Keep them coming!
IRL, I agree. But I'm asking about it as a decision in game design. What is the gameplay benefit to allowing your player to potentially screw up their relationship in some ways but not others? If it's the severity of the action, convey that in the value of the variable hit the player takes by doing it. But telling the player "you can be unfaithful here and here, but not here and here" is silly as a gameplay mechanic.
But MC doesn't know how dangerous either of them are. Oscar could be an amateur MMA fighter; Vinny could be a fake tough guy. MC certainly didn't know Vinny was armed. This is why I'm saying it doesn't make sense to gatekeep some choices but not other equivalent ones. If your MC had to have shown violent tendencies to punch either man, that's fine and makes sense. Requiring it for one fight and not the other, based on the severity of the interaction (which the MC can't possible know) is, again, silly as a gameplay mechanic.
The dialogue is different, but not by much. She'll take you home with her either way if that's what you want.
Wanting to wonder and building up hype are two very different things that I think you're conflating. Sure, he wants you to wonder who she is, but that whole scene is just a very small part of only one path. There's very little hype around it beyond what you yourself put on it. It's not the biggest mystery in the episode by a long shot and its definitely not a part that was highlighted by DPC. It's just a girl who wanted to be mysterious and have no strings attached in her Halloween costume. Why can't it be just that? It's cool to theorize about what it could be, but if you go into next episode expecting it to be anything but an easter egg, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Like, damn the pregnancy thing was hyped way harder last season and it just turned out to be Arieth, probably the least important girl in the HOTs.
It looks worse when you look at the pictures on the profile pages:I love how every single avatar looks like the MC blew his load all over it.
I imagine possibly because allowing minor infractions leave some possibility to get out of trouble, while it'd be basically no excuse for more serious actions, and then you'd have players up in arms why they're allowed to sabotage their game with no warning how serious consequences they'd face, and why the game forces them to take such self-defeating actions if they want to see associated scenes.
The variable is completely hidden from the player so that's not an option. And i really don't see why it's so supposedly puzzling to you that the MC is allowed to perform minor infidelities but not serious one. As you note yourself there's clear difference between these two types of actions, you don't need to be shown any variable to figure it out. You might as well ask why the MC is allowed to punch people in the face but not smash their skulls open. The answer should be just as obvious.
MC knows Vinnie is a former DIK with much clout and he's likely heard quite a few stories from the other DIKs about him during his fraternity days. He knows the sort of person he's dealing with. Oscar *isn't* an amateur fighter nor is he a former DIK with much clout and stories surrounding him. They aren't the same sort of people, so am not sure why you say that treating them differently doesn't make sense.

1) The cube hasn't been opened yetHey guys, I have three questions for the experts (pls help
1. Were you able to open the black cube that's on the MC's desk, what's inside?
2. What about the notebook from episode 6? did we lose access? Rusty lends us his car in episode 9 but not the pc.
3. The old lady in the nursing home with alzheimer's is Quinn's grandmother?
