If you stick around this thread long enough you'll eventually have the whole game spoiled for you one way or the other. I'd say it's better to play AL yourself and form your own views straight from the source, rather than let us filter it through our various lenses.Maybe when BaDIK has found its end.
If I were to play AL now, my perception of BaDIK might be distorted even more than it already is.![]()

I agree with all of this... except about AL being a good game. It has a lot of merit, but it is deeply, deeply flawed IMHO.i know they aren’t in the same universe. I’m saying there will likely be themes in this game that can also be found in AL. There may be similar character archetypes, similar problems to overcome, similar fears to face, and similar temptations/choices to be made, and similar fantasies explored.
this is already apparent in that Maya and Josy are Meghan and Melissa to some extent, Derek is Liam to some extent, etc. the fantasy of the throuple was previously explored in AL, for example. There may be a character that is similar to Ana or Rena or even Leah either introduced at some point or brought into MCs life (like Zoey maybe). I’m not saying that every facet of AL will bleed into this game, but some parts definitely will. I would guess that the throuple and the wacky yet ultra loyal best friend are prevalent in both because they are things DPC has personal experience with in some way. He didn’t pick these things merely for marketing or whatever; he is writing what he knows. The reason Liam is so well received and likeable and seems so well written and real is not merely because DPC is talented, but likely because he has had a person like that in their life or that he had spent considerable time wishing/dreaming that he did.
for someone who theorizes so much about this game, I see no reason you don’t explore AL. Consuming more works from an author can help you better appreciate or understand their work. it’s also a good game in its own right.
All the more reason for Dalli to play this game themselves and draw their own conclusions.
