It doesn't exist. Near the end of episode 8 you can choose only one of the girls (Maya & Josy as a package), or choose none of them. But you definitely don't get an option with Jill and Bella.

If you were dating Bella and choose Jill, the mc will call Bella and break it off (she takes it well but looks a little sad when she hangs up the phone - put a few lumps in some throats around here :cry:).

If you were dating Jill and choose Bella, well that shit goes down really bad! Jill see the mc fucking Bella through Bella's window, and that's some fallout to be dealt with in Episode 9! :eek:
jill’s the one lol but nah she’s best tho

Ah damn. That sucks. Well it's not iron-clad. It's just how I did it when I wanted to play a Neutral run. Neutral run for me is pretty much if I want to play a Chick-affinity LI's route so it's not like you're missing out on anything for those characters even if you just do the "Chick" choices to balance things out. Idk, you'll figure it out ... or just use the mod which could potentially fuck up your saves. The choice is yours! You've got this!(y)
thanks bro. And yeah maybe i‘ll try the mod who knows

I know it's not the right term, but there is any download link (torrent, preferably), with everything that came out of the game so far?

There's not really "endings" yet, because the game is far from over. Jill Solo Path

Bella kinda has 2 outcomes, depending on if you where only going for Bella, or Jill and Bella.

DPC has configured BaDIK for Steam and GOG. This probably took more time than Interlude because he had to configure the entire Season 2 for Steam and Season 1-2 for GOG.

Interlude was created for two reasons, as DPC wrote to us. First, to make Season 2 compatible with Season 3 and their save games, and second, because he wanted to outsource the Zoey intro because EP9 would have been too big otherwise. Ergo, we actually already have part of EP9. If he hadn't done that, the development of EP9 would be at the same stage as it is now, but without us being able to play Interlude.
Where the contribution of the Interlude to the main story is dubious. Had Interlude never been brought up, you would not have anyone saying, "hey, maybe we need a separate Zoey back-story."
Of course, now, all water under the bridge.

Yeah I used "endings" more in the sense that these are the endings for now until Season 3 begins. Didnt know that she ghosted both of them even if you werent pursuing Jill, though.

I’m hoping that it will be a much more appreciated part of the game, when the next update is out. Hopefully it will seem increasingly relevant, in a retroactive sense, as the story evolves.

I say this because I’m assuming that Zoey has a lot of scenes, and impact upon the events in the next episode. So first thing that I’m doing upon release is to replay the interlude, to get a fluent and continuous transition.

When you open the door, he calls you a fucker and tells you twice to leave him. At that point, after weeks (?) in the past of putting up with his shit, you can either console him or walk away.
Here you hit on exactly why I think Steve's "important decision" is misplaced. If DPC had made that important decision before he opened the door, probably 100% of the players would choose to just walk away because the MC would not be personally involved.

But the door is open.

My opinion on the chick option is simple. Steve was an ass to the MC, there's no denying that. But the MC could also be a dick to Steve in EP1 (e.g., by painting Steve's picture), so I suppose that went back and forth between the two for 2 months. During that time they were more or less on the same wavelength, so it was reasonably even.

But with Major Choice, Steve is on the outs. His reaction of calling the MC an asshole is actually normal given their history. My personal decision wasn't made until I looked at both choices and read the sentences that clinched it for me.

Talk to him:
MC: "I know you and I don’t get along that well..."
MC: "...but I'm not that narrow minded or evil that I’d enjoy seeing you cry."

Walk away:
MC: "I’ll leave you to sit there and cry in your corner."

DPC itself has written that players should decide as they personally see fit. Personally, I think if I'm down, hopefully there's someone who would help me up. It doesn't matter who that is. And this is where karma comes into play for me. Can I expect something from others that I am not willing to do myself?

That's just my point of view. Everyone has to decide that for themselves.

the only plus in the interlude that may enrich the future of the game is how Zoey handled the issue of Emma (since she is also the only choice in the interlude that the game keeps track of)

personally Zoey lost and not gained from the interlude as a character, among other things also eliminating any suspense about her return

the Zoey of MC's tale to Bella was a more badass character than the one we later found again

This question does not arise for me. DPC tells its story and we as players are tourists on this journey, not the tour operator.

I wrote a long time ago, after I first saw the Zoey flashback, that Zoey would reappear. I can still remember the reactions to that. No, it won't happen because it's just a flashback, DPC only put it in play as a stop-gap, etc.

Neil knows the MC the best and the longest. Logically, he is his father. But Zoey comes in second. It was predictable so Zoey wouldn't remain just a flashback.

We can't know Zoey's contribution to the main story yet and that contribution could be very important. We should not discuss whether Zoey was important to the story until we know more about Zoey's contribution to the main plot.

Zoey returning was always a given.

She didn't need the interlude though, and delay the game a year.

is this game back in development? thanks...
It has at no point ever stopped being in development. The updates usually take about 5-6 months to release. We got an interlude episode back and March, and the entire season 2 was ported to Steam and GOG, and the next episode is due out end of October-mid November

Zoey's return was not taken for granted by many players. Possibly so that you personally took Zoey's return for granted. Then at least we have a common thought for once.(y)

The interlude does not delay the game by a year. DPC would have written Zoey's story either way. He just moved the story out of EP9 and there were two reasons for that. A technical reason and because EP9 would have become too big otherwise. DPC told us this decision after EP8 came out.

And I repeat myself. It is not our decision whether it needed the interlude or not. There are players who are happy with it and there are players who are not happy with it. But the fact is, Interlude exists.

I don't know. She smoked, she wore black clothes, she was a goth, she had tattoos and a nose ring... She was basically a less attractive Riona with no lines. :unsure:
Those characteristics remained...

now plus we know that she got bored in San Diego, that she went there for granny (if she had played astronaut she would have gone to Cape Canaveral, if to be a cop to Quantico) and that she comes back mainly because she ran out of money

I don't see that as an improvement in character :unsure:
