Question for everyone

How did you guys play the game? Did you sleep with everyone and explore every path or did you play it like you would of if it was real life?

Maya - Don't trust her and (as mentioned before) her less then a week swing from 100% lesbian to wanting to be your/my girl makes me think she's a little unbalanced. I like a touch of crazy from time to time but seeing as she's Dereks sister and I'm potentially trapped in proximity to her for 4 years.........I wanna keep that at arms length.
Eh, I have a friend who experienced something similar to Maya's story - in a lesbian relationship for a few years, comes to university and finds herself pursued by multiple guys, ends up marrying one of them after cheating on her then girlfriend with him.

Personal anecdotes aside, Maya in my eyes is very believable character. Her relationship isn't going well, with her exchanging angry / nasty messages with her girlfriend due to the strain of long range relationship. Maya hasn't met a guy who she is interested in and has interpreted that as her being lesbian. Then the MC comes and shakes up that belief. Her mind is against it, but it feels right to her, adding to the confusion.

You don't need crazy for that. Just confused young adults seaching for themselves in a completely new environment and mostly new people.

it's a porn game, at the moment I have found no reason to give up on any girl (or teacher...).

for honesty, in the main run, I kept away from the restaurant

in the choices of dialogue I try to be as much as possible myself (I have never found myself in some situations :(, so I have no certainties)

I've approached this game as I do with all games, by making the decisions that I would if this character were me, and it has resulted in quite a lot of sexy fun times. ;) (Which is why these games are so often better than real life. :ROFLMAO:)

Maya's character is perfectly consistent with herself (very limited to its narrative function of damsel in distress)

many homosexual boys adn girls have gone through her family difficulties (at least in Italy which is a strongly "formally" Catholic country)(p.s. we don't know what Maya went through ... we can imagine it)

I don't like absolute alibis, everyone defends himself as he can, and everyone tries to achieve huis happiness, Maya's is a road, not the only one and not even the best

For people who dislike maya but like josey and vice versa when you played the game did they give you an option to continue seeing one or the other or do they come as a pair? I dropped them both pretty early in my playthrough so i wasn't sure how that storyline continued.

find out for yourself which is the beauty of the game ...

if you are impatient, for now they go as a couple, and in any case they accompany you whatever you do, if there is actually the possibility of recovering the relationship later with one of them or both is not known (in my opinion yes)

I don't like either one of them which is why i asked instead of actually playing that route.

if you don't care either, then it doesn't make sense to want to be with them more than friends, let them go and we'll see what happens

however, even as friends you will continue to deal with it, and in theory you could even regain one of the two (Josy perhaps more likely)

I too find Maya to be a very believable character and a sympathetic one at that. I've always felt like she's a victim of circumstance and so too her feelings for Josy were based on her circumstances.

It would seem that Maya has come from a very religious household with a somewhat controlling and very devout Dad, and that she never really had much chance to express herself. So there was probably some emotional and psychological repression going on with her, and people like that will often latch on to anyone who gives them some kind of positive affirmation which they don't get at home.

She mentions that she had gone on dates with a couple of guys but that she'd only ever been with a girl, that girl being Josy, so perhaps things simply didn't click with these guys on an emotional level but they did with Josy because perhaps she gave her this positive affirmation she was craving and thus Maya developed romantic feelings for her. Maya would then have taken this to mean that she is gay, but a connection like this with Josy would have been one born out of circumstance and not necessarily indicative of Maya's sexual orientation as there simply hadn't been any guys who elicited those same sorts of feelings.

Enter the MC. He is there for her when she most needs it, having seemingly lost her two most significant relationships with her parents and Josy, and he gives her affection, vaildation, and comfort somewhat unconditionally, as well not judging her too harshly. So this essentially unlocks hetero feelings that Maya didn't think she had and it confuses her because she thought she was gay when it may just have been a case of having a lack of options that formed her feelings for Josy.

So, in my view, Maya was never actually gay, she only assumed she was because she formed an emotional connection with Josy that developed into romance. But had the MC, or a guy like him, been there for Maya at the time Josy was, then she would be in a relationship with them and consider herself straight.
