I'm increasingly puzzled by Burke. For a few episodes now, I've been thinking, what if he wasn't the villain we've been led to believe?

For example, I don't understand why he confessed to infidelity (as far as we know, without being caught red-handed), and why this supposed head of B&R organized crime agrees to put up with Jade? At the time, you might have thought it was to avoid a divorce that would leave Burke penniless.

Now we know that's not the case. He's the millionaire, they're married without a contract, so in the event of divorce it's 50-50, and what's more, even if one of them is unfaithful, it'll be 50-50 anyway.

What we learn in episode 10 is that Burke was a pathological coward. Instead of arguing with his wife, he keeps his mouth shut and ends up fathering two children he doesn't want. It's the same with his job, he gets fired like a piece of shit, and he has no reaction, not even a little surge of pride to show them what he's worth and what he's brought them all these years.

The only time he takes matters into his own hands is when he tells Jade about the divorce. Between the shrink visit and the divorce, years go by; either he's gradually changed in the meantime to become the evil Burke, head of the prostitution ring at B and R, or it's a DPC trap.

OK... If it does make you feel better, good for you... I don't stretch arguments with people who argue things analogous to "the Earth is flat", "1 + 1 = 3", or "the Pope is a Jew"... (Unless there is caché involved; then, depending on the amount, I can indulge 'em and entertain 'em.)
Lol, you're really going to dig in your heels because you can't admit you just made a mistake huh.

Doesn't matter what season it's sold with, it's still a game where unless DPC changes the plan it'll go episodes 1-8, Interlude, Episodes 9-16, so the Interlude is the midpoint between two sets of 8 episodes.
Just tell me whether you play the interlude in the Season 1-2 package or after you transferred your saves into Season 3.

Aside from a little to much time put on Madame and fish mini game.

I think this update was good, not as bad as some reviewers make it out to be, every route got some love and if you play all routes it's ton of content and ton of fun.

Free roam gets kinda tideous when you want to play the different routes, so DPC need to add a function to combat this.

Lol, you're still getting way too obsessed with "which pack do I buy it in."

There's still 8 episodes, then an Interlude, and then (on the current plan) another 8 episodes.

That's symmetrical and that isn't going to change no matter how adorably upset you get over it.

I have serious issue with Isabella route, think this is a bug.

Checked the code (I just like lurking there) and she is jus being Bella and is teasing him, no harm done with stats.

How get toy?
Not sure this is the only solution but at 3rd attempt I was aiming for this little bunny hidden under this colorful big one and MC managed to pull of this big colorful one.

and abuse your own daughter too? What a family man...
You mean, his grown up, well fed, well educated, healthy adult of a daughter? If Maya doesn't like it, no one forces her to stay. She could have left years ago.

As far as I am concerned, he raised her pretty well and more than did his duty. Now it's on her.

At this point I think most of the earlier and more negative reviews are people who saw the gallery scene list, didn't see whatever name they wanted in it often enough, and then just immediately complained it has "no content".

5000+ renders and 150+ animations, this update was massive and tons of different scenarios of the scenes. You need to replay it to appreciate it.

Those reviews should be removed. But hey BADIK is on a level above any other VN and gets analyzed on a different level too.

I wanted to hit Burke with a baseball bat to the head. I have sympathy for Patrick because it's not easy what he's going through. The statistics for men leaving women with an illness are very high. Burke is simply a scumbag. I wanted to hit him even more when he said he felt nothing for the kids he adopted. No kidding they are both fucked up!
I'm going into my theory mode.
