Yeah, but... The dynamics of the relationship between Bella and the MC are quite different compared to other girls or the MC and his sweetheart acting like a couple of teenagers in love. Bella and the MC's dynamic is acting like they've been married for years, why do you think the game presents many opportunities to help Bella with household chores? That scene where the MC paints Bella's fence is the most 'husbando' scene in Bella's route, even Bella gets wet when she sees the MC "taking care of the house".

Can anyone imagine Bella having breakfast with the MC at the table with other DIKs? I definitely can't. First she would give Elena a death glare for sitting next to the MC wearing only her panties, then she would be in shock to see Heather slapping Tommy while Tommy yells at Heather. I already find it hard to imagine Bella dressed in the MC's jacket, imagining her having breakfast at the DIK mansion is simply impossible. :ROFLMAO:
I love Bella's route more and more, it seems so mature. Plus their chemistry and humor makes me smile. At the same time, I'm not a fan of women who are much older than me, and if this awakened emotions in me, it means something.
Well Bella was at a DIKs party where she was asked sexual questions in Truth or Drink, she definitely saw Tiffany topless and a bunch of teens making out on hormones, also drunk teens. Let's not forget that Bella was a wild thing in her youth and she likes to feel young again. She may not approve of Tommy and Derek's behavior, but I think she would theoretically get along with the other DIKs.

I agree but it would be a VERY thin line to walk for Bella, switching between professional Bella and private Bella. I'm really curious how DPC will bridge that divide, he surely must have something planned.

Yes. This is hard. No wonder this route is called "Bumpy road"

Yes, the maturity in Bella's route was what caught my attention. I've never been the immature type even when I was a young teenager, so I don't like to play an immature MC no matter what game I play. Bella is the only romantic interest that doesn't make me feel like a teenager from the Twilight movie saga.

I have a feeling she won't be very well accepted. They will respect the MC's decision, but they won't feel comfortable interacting with her.

DIK members really liked Zoey, I'm expecting an opposite reaction to Bella. Derek's reaction at Jill's recital to seeing Bella is a sample of the DIKs' reaction in a nutshell. Every time DIK members see Bella around they feel uncomfortable because they will feel watched.

Bella's look... :love:
:love:

Got busy with other games and haven't played the "new" update yet.

So my first thought about 15 min in are....WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS STUPID PARTY PLANNING GAME???? This is....ridiculous. The other dorm game at least had a chart for it, this doesn't?

I read through the forum to find a guide, but I see people posting their image of what they did, but I can't seem to replicate them exactly. Money or other items are still off and not what the image shows. Does anyone have an EXACT explanation of what they did?

It was also NOT enjoyable to have to pick between Jill or Bella, I want both. I absolutely hate multiple paths in renpy games. I want to play a game once and see everything. There are too many other games to play and instead play one multiple times.

While the character development and story writing can be great in this game, sometimes actually very emotional, I feel stuff like the Party Planning mini-games ruin it all. Ya, people say "skip it", but then you don't unlock certain things of you skip it.

Finally got around to playing this. Blind playthrough. Was going to go for Josy and then the reveal happened and decided to stay away from that potential mess. Pivoted 100% into Sage's route afterwards. Felt good at the end of episode 8 with all the other potential LI's being good friends with the MC (including Jill in Episode 9 with the bench). Everything was going swell. Then that fucking sucker punch when Sage's family got revealed. Should have known it was going too well.

Thank god I deleted that video and told no one.

The party planning is the best minigame so far.

"Read the tutorial" and you'll see its really simple. Look at what each Dik needs and go for a 7x multiplier.

This is mine but the shit gets randomised. Same goes for what you start with like beer food etc. So it won't be the exact same.

I thought it was fairly simple to understand and do pretty well; it was pretty much just using a save for trial and error, but if you really need some help I can offer one or two tips.

First, try to get everyone to 2 green lights out of 4 then work from there.
Second, play through the story to figure out who really deserves more than 2 green lights. Some have a shitty experience because of events beyond Fuckface's control, try and give them 3 or more greens and you'll get an "S" score.

Nice frame. But if I had to pick her no. 1 shot, I'd go with this, from episode 5.

Simply beautiful.
I would choose a shot where MC holds her face and she's close, it's in the same scene where you got that picture.
Funny how you don't have to look much for Maya to be beautiful. I just picked a random scene with that hair and people liked it.

But it'll take me some time to get used to it to the new hair.
