I saw several posts for the mask theory ...

The game by now has probably around a hundred or more individual characters.

If DPC uses available mask assets, then the number of masks is limited and if the number of female (masked) characters grows beyond number of different masks, then there will be duplicates ...
Further more masks have to fit in color and style to the character's costume/underwear and hair color ... this limits usage of available masks per character ...

How likely is it that DPC creates individual masks for each character?
Is there an overview study of how many different masks/costumes were used for the parties?

This is the thing really, in a game like this assets are going to get reused, maybe for artistic reasons, maybe for forshadowing reasons. It's unknown really, but just because two characters share the same eyebrows, or have worn the same mask etc does not mean DPC is foreshadowing something.

Unfortunately 9 times out of 10 a spade is just a spade and it means nothing.

Exactly this. There are only so many assets to use and tho DPC try to use as much variety as possible its not always some conspiracy

You should be embarrassed.

I do wonder. Since it's all but confirmed that she's the same girl from the "Others" path in Derek's room, do you guys think she's setup to be a potential girl MC could date?

The same thing happened with Lily. Introduced in Season 1 but you don't get much stuff until the last two episodes of Season 2 (7 and 8). I wonder if the same will be with Cindi/Nikita. Introduced in Episode 9, random girl not much in Episode 10 but in Episode 11 it looks like there's a setup for future content with her.

Also here's what I noticed on my second playthrough. Her model changes from chatting with her friend to looking at MC after giving her a drink. I wonder if it's reading too much into it or if it's a clear sign of interest.

Do you mean that it is not confirmed that she is the Thirsty Golum Ghoul?
Actually it is not confirmed that her name is Nikita, because another girl could have forgotten her purse in Derek's room/bar, but it is confirmed that she is the Thirsty Golumn Ghoul because if you meet the condition to meet her again at the table with the punch & snacks, she calls the MC with a nickname that reflects their flirting in Derek's room/bar back in Episode 9
(The condition to meet her again is: you kiss the first girl under the mistletoe, but you don't give her a proper kiss, when she asks you for it)

Could be an epilogue thing at best then.

Not sure if she'll get any fantastic lewd things though, judging by what little she said she's not really into the "crazy" things that happen at the DIK parties. Maybe a more neutral/chick affinity exclusive girl? It doesn't sound like she'd be into a DIK Affinity MC. Just my perspective anyway.

Well I'm only going off what we got told in the Q&A last year so my thoughts may change if we get any other information.

But i'm working on the theory that episode 12 will be the last proper episode we get and after that it's epilogue/ending city. But even if this is not the case, 3-5 episodes (with some set aside for endings) I don't see there being time to set up things. Might be wrong, but I don't see us getting anything other than a cheeky Lewd

If we were talking about season 1 and 2 I would've agreed, but there are already quite a few callbacks in season 3 to earlier seasons that are pretty clear to see now that they're proven. Now more than ever we should try to look at "smaller" details.

Nothing can ever be confirmed until it is revealed. Its all speculation really. It does make sense to be true tho because of the whole teddy bear thing.

Thirsty *Ghoul*, not

Yup, like obviously Neil and Derek share assets and while I do love the Different father twin theory, it's actually pretty ridiculous when you think about it.

Mc and Tommy as well

DPC is known for small details. using two of the same assets is not how he does it. Small differences in renders etc that is his style. If we look at the mask thing its simple. If you realistically look at it how easy is it to go to a store and buy something someone else bought a thousand times before. The mask means nothing. But yeah time will tell.

Just don't leave any money in the fish budget before Nick leaves bro.

How am I supposed to do that without cheating, since the fish game can earn 50+ $ and you can't put more than 10$ in the wallet?

Yes, I could charge the wallet, spend money buying pics, re-charge the wallet... click, click, click... a bounch of zillion of forced clicks to obtain the same exact result I can obtain by freezing money to 10 by URM?

Oh, but without cheating is much more fun?

There seems to be a new category emerging here.

First category is obviously our five main girls. Then there are the categories of serious side girls and casual side girls. It's hard to say where the line should be drawn, but the ep 9 chat options (Quinn, Riona, Lily, Jade, Nicole and Nora) seem to be a good starting point. Camila got a lot of content, but the mood is still casual. Sarah and Mel are definitely casual. I've got no idea which one Heather belongs to. I'd call Zoey a unique entity, the dark horse who could be considered the secret sixth main girl. But main, serious or casual they were all introduced very early in the game.

But here we have the category of new side girls. Girls who were barely introduced in the end of season 2 or only in season 3 who are now getting scenes.

No need to cheat just buy more food and Medicine etc. You don't have to give it to the fish and Nick will not steal the food.

Dpc doesnt do kit bashing of assets, his town is full of asian symbols like the store assets, outside of a color here and there, so for the most part I agree there is slim chance of of him doing micro details as foreshadowing.

...but at the same time someone figured out Chad and Troy like 4 episodes earlier by Chad's shoes being the ones under Troy's desk, so its not a guarantee DPC doesnt plant hints like that.
