I wonder why so many people here haven't understood yet that this game's philosophy is: "you have to pay the price for what you did, buddy".

Are you a DIcK? you have to pay the price, sooner or later.

Did you make out with a lot of chicks? you have to pay the price with the main girls.

Did you make out with more than 1 main girl? you have to pay the price with the other girls.

Did you make out with Jade? you have to pay the price with Sage.

Did you make out with Cathy? you have to pay the price with Bella.

Did you make out with Bella? you have to pay the price with Jill.

Did you favour Josy over Maya? you have to pay the price with Maya.

Did you favour Maya over Josy? you have to pay the price with Josy.

Did you make out with Quinn & the HOTs? you have to pay the price with everybody else!


Can't you understand it? it's your loss, folks.
There is a pebble in this machine however. I did Jill & Bella & J & M and even had a lot of Sage content, though I wasn't on her path and chose Jill. There was like 0 punishment, for choosing her. Neither from J & M nor from Bella, hell even Sage played out rather well. While on the other hand if I chose Bella(tired that as well), the Jill part was rather unsettling...

I agree we need more evidence because hallucinations are a massive deal and it would really turn Bella's story on its head if that were the case. But that being said there is something weird about that library flashback scene, now that I've replayed it. It could be another red herring by DPC but the way the guy outside the library in the flashback looks at Bella and James is peculiar, I should have taken a screenie but I'm sure it's around somewhere. The look that guy gives Bella is the same look I'd give someone who was talking to themselves on the street, well prior to wireless buds and stuff :KEK: Concrete evidence of delusions? Definitely not, but there is some other circumstantial evidence we've gone into recently that I won't bother rehashing. Then there's even more circumstantial evidence to count against it, like Jill's knowledge of events that bring up more questions.

I would like to underline and keep underlining one thing though that I've said before in other contexts. The scene with the MC and Bella in the library, where the future MC says he'd call for help if he knew what was up with Bella, is absolutely unique in the game. At no other time do we get an introspective from the MC, from the future, where he states that he wishes he could have done something differently. We don't get it when his guitar is stolen, we don't get it with the stuff with Quinn and the prostitution and drugs, we don't get it with anyone else in any other situation. So it's always been my belief that Bella's story is going to be the most difficult for the MC, whether in the context of romance or not. Before episode 8, I'd assumed the challenges would come from confronting James and the possible child death which would tear the usually stoic Bella apart emotionally. Now I'm wondering if the damage has already been done and the MC's naive pursuit of Bella is actually a horrible tumble into a deep dark hole of reality that makes the low points of AL look like young adult fiction :KEK: I guess we'll see.




I got some positive speculation for you bro :Kappa:(y)

After replaying the game from start to finish, and rewatching the flashbacks in particular, I'm super hyped for Zoey as a character and how she'll impact the story. I absolutely love her appearance in the final scenes of episode 8, and I love Neil's reaction to her. I'm still skeptical about Zoey's interlude and how much I'll like or care about it, mostly because it's just going to delay the next episode's arrival, but I think she's going to be great. I know some of your personal criticism about the game involves the MC not committing, and rather than Zoey having an even greater compounding of that problem by having to choose her vs. your chosen LI, I think she's going to take a more mature sisterly approach to the MC and encourage him to stop having doubts and to commit. Her re-introduction with Neil points to that sort of role she'll be adopting, less as an LI and more as a sister-stroke-family member, especially considering she's coming back directly after the MC chooses which path he'll be taking. That feels like an intentional move by DPC, not to bring back Zoey as potentially more doubt and drama to make the MC question his choices, but as an element of stability and family. Like the MC's monologue at the start of the game mentions, family are the ones who stick by you, that's the role I feel Zoey is going to fill: a surrogate sister, a family member, rather than direct competition to the LI's.

Now all that being said, that doesn't mean we won't bang Zoey again, but I don't think we'll have to. And there will definitely be some drama among the LI's, and probably even Quinn, once they find out that Zoey was the MC's first. I suspect Zoey is going to act really familiar and affectionate with the MC, which will make some of them jealous, whether she necessarily wants to rekindle the flame at all.

All in all, after my initial poor reaction to Zoey, I'm excited for her character and role going forward in the story. She's gonna be a fan favorite, I can tell.




Bro I know exactly what it is, it's breastmilk, the pregnancy test was for Derek!
Zoey is clearly BAE material. Don't know if she will be more friendly or flirty toward the MC but I'm sure DPC will make her likeable and funny. Also I wasn't a fan of her during the FB but I love her "goofy" face before she hugs Neil.

It's a fantasy game at the end of the day. If I like to bang all of them and get away with it, I should have that option imo, but I respect DPC's work nonetheless.
This is exactly what I'm doing. I started saves where I went for all sex scenes I could, and just watched the fireworks happen. I am eagerly waiting on the upcoming Heather and Sally scenes, despite any fallout they cause. Why wouldn't I when I can easily just make a new save that can avoid the consequences later on.

It's also what I've done for Where The Heart Is. Since there's no harem or incest, and I'm banging the whole family, next update (if it ever comes out) is going to be ugly.

For all the LIs the one i think that would react the best to rejection would be Sage. The others not that much, i'm actually kinda scared of what Bella can do (with MC and with herself) in the future because of this rejection, her route and involvement is already too foggy it's impossible to see the outcome.

That's what I do every time as well. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in this game. You have to pick at some point and you end up missing a lot of stories/content.

MC may be naive (it has never happened to me to have to deduce the degree of relationship of the people I know, they were revealed to me naturally, I never checked the documents of the girls I dated but I always knew their last name), but the fact remains that he is surrounded by idiots

if a friend of mine is dating the daughter of a teacher he is taking a course with, I would warn him at the first opportunity...

if a friend of mine hangs out with both the daughter and the mother I would feel it my duty to warn him.

the more we go on in the game the more I re-evaluate Arieth, who at least has the excuse of being distracted from her main activity :ROFLMAO:
Yeah, the more I thought about it, the more implausible it sounds. MC meets a girl and finds out her name is Sage. Never once did it dawn on him to say "Sage what?". Getting to know someone after a couple of months and not knowing anything about them is unreal.

That's not how fantasy works... That's like saying MC should be able to fly and have super-strength just because it's fantasy.

Unless by "fantasy" you mean shitty writing that makes no sense within the established setting of the author. There is a reason the harem genre so often takes place in alternate, fantasy worlds (isekai). Because in realistic settings like this one, it looks stupid as shit.

Yeah, but it incentivizes multiple playthroughs. I do enjoy going through it again, so doing so to see different variations is fun for me.

I don't understand how anyone could only have one file for this game (or others with branching paths).

There will be punishment in the end of the game though, and everyone knows what's going to happen.

Choose:

Josy and Maya - MC will have to save only one from a fire;
Sage - MC will end up miserable and kill himself because of his in-laws;
Bella - MC will be cucked and left alone when James returns;
Jill - MC will get so bored by her that he'll turn gay and join a three way relationship with Chad and Troy;
Choose any other - MC will end up in jail and he'll become gay by force.

For real though, there isn't any punishment yet because DPC is still setting up the story for each LI, to then go all out on their drama involving MC.

Classic show problems. The way it solves tension makes more difficult every time to build up tension again. Thats why kids shows always had a "bad guy" more powerfull then the previous one. But it's still the same thing.
Now, to be addicted to the story is a good thing. Or you mean addicted to tension and mistery?.
Addicted to constant dangers that are always hinted at and never really explode.

the drugs, the restaurant, Maya's father, Riona's stalker, Quinn's coke bag, Mona's destiny, Bella's husband, Vinnie... they are always on the horizon, one can be in tension for 6 months (the time of the new episode) not for the whole life

who vandalized the DIKs house is still of interest to anyone? who sent the letter with the pictures to Chad?

Plot got worst in episode 8 imo, just going for shock value and drama. how tf you don’t even know your fuck buddy’s last name??
there's no proof he knows his own last name.
MC does not care about last names, he is a real alpha male he just have to show his magic cock and girls come to him without him telling a word. No more information are needed, just her name so he can say it during the sexual act to remember himself who is fucking. Like a real man! Surnames are valuable only by preps, not by a DIK! A DIK looks at boobs and arses, not surnames! Say it loud!

When going only for Jill right from the start, she still has a scene in the bathroom with Josy where they say that I'm smashing other girls :D
You aren't on a Jill only route if your are "smashing" other girls. You only go the the bathroom with Josy if you take a pic of your dik during the mansion party.

Dude, It's not even that crazy that someone in MC's shoes could get away with this. I know people who do similar stuff in real life. You're acting like I'm asking for dragons and rainbow cum. You're taking this way too seriously. It's a game that's supposed to give you an outlet to your fantasies. The MC has gotten away with it so far into the game. Suddenly, it's crazy to ask for him to keep his options open?

the chick path and all the diferent pathways! that is what you are missing! and also the madam just call her on the last freeroam and pay her up!

is that the scene where you force Nora into the bathroom and rape her ass while she cries please stop? gotta say i enjoyed that one greatly! or maybe it was just a wet dream of mine, one of those for sure!


he is right! and i do not mean the explanation for the story! i mean you better lie to your girlfriend if you ever wanna get a blowjob part!

dude keep your eyes on the prize! its getting the BJ that matters and anything that gets between you and getting a BJ is wrong even if its the right thing to do! particulary in Rl where you are only likely to get it on weeding anniversaries and only if you spend at least 10% of your annual income!

Lets not even talk about getting anal after 1 year of relationship she will shut you down faster then you can cum thinking of Jill 1st sex scene!

some people
you force Nora into the bathroom and rape her ass while she cries please stop?
and in which episode because i went with her in the bathroom in episode 6 with her own consent but didn't had anal
