VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[felicemastronzo]

Bella still cares about her husband and is holding on his memories by keeping some of his stuff and whatnot, i know some people do this so i don't think it's as ridiculous as it may seem.

I'd love it to be a DPC joke because another Leah would ruin the game for me.

to me it remains ridiculous.

what memories are you talking about? his clothes will be in wardrobes like any normal person's, his photos are lying around the house, what needs to be locked in a room to be protected?
the famous boots that don't even deserve a place in a shoe cabinet?

even if it were her husband's stuff, it must still be something special: weapons, valuable collection ...

 

[Boy Blue]

Used condoms...wait what?!

 

[Pgabriel23]

she lock her inbreed product with james in that room

 

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

"the mystery of the closed room" is probably just James's stuff he left behind. I don't think there will be a twist or something sinister in there. People are just expecting too much

That's to be expected when we have this issue for many, many updates.

Memories of something they loved and did together, doesn't have to be clothes. Could be some valuable collection, book collection and all that stuff i don't know, and it's not like the place is locked with a safe code maybe it's just that Bella doesn't really trust the MC yet? just because they've been intimate ( lust ) doesn't mean she'll tell him everything about her.

Yes that's on DPC for not moving the story forward.

however, it must be something very special and personal.

if they were books (or something like that) there was no need to rush the door shut, Bella would tell MC not to enter that room and that was it, she wouldn't have to give any explanation. her gesture creates far more questions than a room full of books

I'm pretty sure Bella will be one of the last to reveal herself (it's the hardest situation to handle after all), so it's going to be really long

 

[hakuna-matata]

It's quite obvious it's her Sex Dungeon. She will bring the MC down there to Fifty Shades Of Grey him.

 

[Kakoli55]

It's quite obvious it's her Sex Dungeon. She will bring the MC down there to Fifty Shades Of Grey him.

and then its gonna be totally awesome

 

[felicemastronzo]

It's quite obvious it's her Sex Dungeon. She will bring the MC down there to Fifty Shades Of Grey him.

it was my funny theory, the dramatic one was about the room of the child who was never born or died prematurely.

but let me discard it, I think Jill would know in case

You can only drag mysteries for so long until people became annoyed, and this one is getting too long already. I think we will have confirmation soon.

It could certainly go in one of 2 ways; either it was deliberately set up to seem dark and foreboding but it will be totally benign and a clear signal that this game is not going to go the same way as AL, or it will still be benign but in order to lure people into a false sense of security so that a dark twist later involving a different character hits you harder because you didn't see it coming.

the reverse also works though, indeed it tends to work more: as long as there is mystery, interest remains.

the best solution would be to carry all the stories forward with the same speed, but for now it has not been so, and I have no reason to think things change particularly.

the hypothetical happy ending with Bella is the one that has to overcome more objective obstacles, this makes me think it will be the story that will take longer to define itself. then it may be that the mystery of the husband is solved relatively shortly (from the previews I would not say in the next chapter, therefore at the shortest in 5-6 months), but it will be long.

 

[Tserriednich'sNen]

Regarding Bella's mysterious locked door all I'll say is that if doesn't turn out to be something really serious or impactful then that entire plot point will fall completely flat on it's face given the build up and attention it's been getting.

 

[Rudy286]

I have the walkthrough mod installed and I do have the mod error fix too but what will happen once I update the game from 0.5 to 0.6?

 

[lemonfreak]

I don't care what's in the locked room.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

But what does "serious or impactful" mean, exactly? It can mean different things to different people, and for me it would be enough if it did turn out to be a room full of her husband's things that she's keeping in the hopes he'll one day return. This would be "impactful" from an emotional standpoint as it would reveal her character to be someone who's holding on to the past too much rather than moving on in order to live in the present and embrace a new future. This would give her character some much needed depth and be more than enough for a story like this without having to take Bella in too dark a direction.

Also, just because it's perceived that this has been given a lot of attention doesn't mean that it has to be particularly game-changing. It could just have been DPC deliberately sowing seeds of suspicion of a dark twist in order to have bit of fun with people who think this game is going to be dark like AL, but it isn't, and so this could turn out to be something very simple and not at all dark.

Or just use the mod to see the answers. Disabling mini-games results in Caleb knocking you down.

Which makes very little difference to anything...sooo....

Yeah, I agree. But at some point you have to solve some things and open others. Shift the mystery a bit, so it doesn't get old. The boots are kind of that, but you have to show the room at some point, even if we don't get to what happened to the husband yet.

I agree with you that I would like the "mystery" to have a plausible solution, but not that it proves to be a waste of time.

to be emotionally meaningful for us players it would mean that we should become so involved in Bella's bond with her husband to feel it too. it seems very difficult to me. 80% of the players do not care about either Bella or her husband, the remaining 20% only care about Bella, and the husband is just an obstacle.

it is as if in the letter from MC's mother there was written "only" how much his mother loved him, sentimentally important but for the plot it would be an absolute disappointment
