People, don’t get me wrong, this is a good game and a nice episode. Did it meet expectations? I don’t think so. But to say this game is fundamentally flawed is exaggerating to the fullest. DPC doesn’t just make random shit, almost every thing, every detail, is thought through by the doc. You couldn't be more wrong imo
I enjoy it. I haven't finished many paths yet as I have been experimenting mostly but yeah I cannot complain. I personally just hate the long wait between episodes. I always forget how I planned out my paths then have to start from scratch each time.

Does anyone know what the criteria is to get the Maya scene instead of the Josy scene? I even backtracked to the Thanksgiving Chapter and spent time with Maya instead of Josy but I still get the Josy photography scene.

It's not a perfect game but it is a great game. The kind of game that takes SO many of your choices into account. Is it any wonder that it takes forever for him to release an episode? With so many choices taken into account, so many branches with a main girl and without one?

The fact that he's able to do this alone on his own just with the support of his fans is astonishing.

I think you have to be preferential to Maya from the start of the game? Don't quote me on that, I don't really know.

You will have to go way back I think. You should have spend more time with Maya than Josy back then for example at the party in ep9 when they tally up the amount of times you spend with them Maya should have the most times. In ep5 go to Maya instead of Josy. Same with any split.

The reqs for that scene is simply dik affinity and on be on the Sage path. No need for any Quinn stuff. She must just have the "Quinn like you" which is super hard not to have. It is pretty much automatic. variable and you are golden. Only thing that changes is that you can go sit outside with Quinn if you done stuff with her
Those requirements are not entirely correct according to the official walkthrough. These are:

- Don't have CHICK affinity
- Be Sage's fuckbuddy or fuck her in episode 7
- Don't be on Throuple
- Don't let Quinn reject you in episode 8 (afik this only happens through Jill's dinner invite in the library)

So he really is splitting them basically. Damn Acting Lessons all over again...
Yeah if you don't want to go through all the effort of starting over Stevey have saves for you where he did exactly that for both of them on the front page.

I hope there's a chance to keep them together honestly. There's a reason we've been racking up points with the both of them...maybe they would come into play here?

Like with Derek relationship points, they still haven't found a use for it yet. I hope there is one sooner or later.

Main one is the affinity really. The others should probably fall in place anyway if you are just on a sage path.

Derek's relationship points decide if he kills Fuckface after dumping his sister for Zoey

Its fascinating to me, its like we play a different game entirely.

The episode that moved almost all relationships to the next level, had Zoey finally make her move, had multiple reveals to game long mysteries including ending the almost universally despised loan situation, the DIKs imploding, Tommy and Heather breaking up, the Masked girl from the Halloween party reveal, Sally, new hoes, Bianca route seeds, Quinn hitting rock bottom and probably going to the point of no return, ending with Bella's locked door finally getting opened...its somewhat called an episode where nothing happened and the plot is moving at snails pace. :WaitWhat:

I swear, people complain to complain at this point.
We still don't know Cinderella's name so it is too slooow moving. ;) Plus Rio is taking too long to recover even though she was severely tortured, without medical attention, and in game it has only been a few weeks.

It doesn't seem to have occurred to Dr. Pink Cake that giving us the option to join either party from the start might have been both simpler and more meaningful branching than the labyrinthine system he constructed to blend the two together behind the scenes. As a result, the game feels EXTREMELY uneven: when DPC's view of the MC and his motivations line up with your own, the game can be tremendously satisfying; when those views diverge, it can be confusing and infuriating.
But why would we have the option to choose either party from the start when the MC wasn't invited to the GIRLS ONLY gathering at Bella's? The MC can crash their party if we're on one of their paths but it makes sense that he doesn't just show up at Bella's from the get go. Now...why the girls (minus Bella) didn't go to the party you could nitpick over but it wasn't too big of a stretch. Jill's comfortable with small groups of friends getting "wild" but not with a whole mansion full of people, Bella's most likely not going to another DIKs party even if she was invited, Sage has family drama on her mind, Maya's not really a big party person and while not as reserved as Jill wouldn't really be walking around a mansion party in her underwear either, and Josy's got her existential crisis. Funnily enough, I personally thought that having the MGs at their own gathering was the simpler solution for DPC, in that they're all in one place so if we're on one of their paths he didn't have to render completely different scenes in different locations to have the MC end the night with his girl(s).

Yeah that's what I meant when I said do stuff with Quinn, while technically you can skirt that affinity by avoiding the restaurant, not doing drugs etc etc. It's easy enough to just do them for the quick DIK points.

she actually is taking too long, bruises don't last that long, we need some suspension of disbelief tho, like how James' corpse isn't stinking up the house

does anybody choose to play the concert on the non jill/bella paths?
I always choose to play at the recital concert no matter the path to go viral lol. Why wouldn't you want to "play girls' panties off" in all your paths? Or did you mean the teacher's Christmas party concert vs the fight coming up? I've got saves for the Christmas concert on non jill/bella paths just to see if we can further cement the rockstar status.
