yeah,it is quite weird for me. If she really wanted to boost her status,she could've gone for Rusty for example
Rusty is a no go, he tolerates drugs but that's all, just doesn't fit her goals, it's not status she wants, it's influence.
Tommy might have influence but he's an unguided missile, Tommy does Tommy, he does what he wants and is quite egocentric.
MC can offer that influence and is willing to go that extra mile for friends.... A valuable ally and you can count on him.
Besides that MC has good standings with pretty much all HOT's and Dik's and possibly better then both Rusty and Tommy...
Having MC back you pretty much means having all HOT's and Dik's support....

What's the difference for those two?
Playing as a DIK is totally different from playing as a Chick: it's like watching 2 different movies - an old one and its remake. And Sage is the only main LI you can win if you pursue a DIK path.


I see people complain about mini games, and the episode being one big mini game.

Personal opinion: I don't mind it, I had fun.
The thing I don't like about them is doing them again for the replay value/other paths.
But knowing them by heart at this point, they are all done in a matter of minutes with the uses of "skip" option, so in the grand scheme of things, it's all good in my book.
Complains come from people who are interested in playing only as a DIK or interested only in 1 or 2 main girl.

Rusty is a no go, he tolerates drugs but that's all, just doesn't fit her goals, it's not status she wants, it's influence.
Tommy might have influence but he's an unguided missile, Tommy does Tommy, he does what he wants and is quite egocentric.
MC can offer that influence and is willing to go that extra mile for friends.... A valuable ally and you can count on him.

To put it bluntly, Rusty is not BaDIK's MC. MC is BaDIK's MC :D. That's why she's after MC.

Oh no, she's my favorite, what happens to her personality? (I can't play today and am to curious)
Do you remember lovely girlfriend moments with Sage in Episode 8?

Forget them.

She made a full 180 and now treats you like a fuck-buddy, wanting to fuck other people and acting like a slut in general.

A BIG MAYBE - this behavior was due to the party and drinking, but this is a big fall for Sage in all aspects.
I'll wait for Episode 10, but if this bs continues, I think I'll stop playing, since she's my favorite

I find it more pointless to wait months to have less scenes (since the paths blocked) and having to download an even bigger file to see less .
In many VNs harem is optional...or mods for it... B a Dik was fine the way it was..
many vn Harem is optional? when i play Harem game Its feels like i am playing kinetic novel..in most Harem game no choice matter at all...and every second we see MC fuck a different girl...that's so boring

In the haunted part, I click on the cage, the MC said 'a scare cage' and then nothing. Is it supposed to zoom in so I can look around? Same goes for the jars he said some about them looking gross........and nothing else.

I'm I missed something or i'm I screwed?

I am incredibly dissapointed. No one can deny that DPC is a great artist and we all enjoy his work and for that we should thank him. However, this last episode makes me think that he’s hit a roadblock.

He has either become very lazy in his work, the amount of meaningful content in this does not fit 6 months of development time let alone 1 year as we have it now, especially with the funding that he is getting.

Or he has hit a developmental roadblock, this happens sometimes, Winds of winter being one of them, and this happens when you convolute the plot to such a point where you don’t know how to establish a narratively satisfying story. That could also explain why he spent half the budget on the meaningless halloween intro of extremely beautiful moving animation which pleases the eye but let’s down everything else.

My opinion is that he should start making an endpoint and finish up this story with grace and then establish a new project where he can start a new and therefore gain a straightforward line of work. We all love these characters but I feel like, the plot should come to a conclusion and therefore so we can end these characters with a good and satisfying ending.
One of the biggest problems here are the branching, game was inicially split in 2 playtrough , then went to 3 now we are at 5 playthrough, making branching is good but its to much demanding and time consuming, making the episode feel short if you just want to pursue just 1 or 2 path, for instance for me to unlock full gallery i had to repeat the episode 5 times the same thing , only to get like a bit of new content

click the up arrow in cage, keys in the middle of the wall (hard to spot go slow)

I know that, but I mean what's the difference between a DIK Sage path and a Neutral/Chick Sage one. Or in other words, if you're playing Neutral or Chich why go after Sage instead of the other LIs if you already have a DIK Sage game?

She pretty much reverted to her early fuck-buddy personality. Her romantic character progression went out the window.

Oh boy.
But honestly i am more inclined to believe it's good writing, something like her panicking she's falling in love so quickly after Chad, and is trying to find balance.

It's only a problem since development time is what it is. If we got an update every 3-4 months it would've have mattered as much
