I see.
Then someone else will be stepping in to guide you for that specific path.
I'd suggest someone to approach with that question. But I fear the curse of the shrimp.
Just be patient, someone will chime-in on it soon enough.

also my surprise when I see that many of the secondary girls I got involved with in my full pure DIK whoreboy path started getting more complex and growing feelings by Season 3.

Quinn, Riona, Lily, Sarah & Melanie ig?, Sally, Nicole, Cathy, Jade, Nora...

I'll have to make 20+ saves for this-

But at the end of episode 11 there is someone at Bella's door. Judging by her reaction I think it's her husband.

Its most likely Patrick... just shortly before the Dinner Maya and Derek spoke with him and dropped the ball in his half to make a move to redeem himself and apologize. And its highly likely too that both told him that they will have christmas dinner at Bellas. And because everyone was involved, its a good setting to apologize to everyone...

I would go for Patrick here... pretty sure... about 90% i would say.

And i dont really believe that James will EVER come back... its been only a flashback, and the big flashback with him was highly suspicious too (like Bella was only imagine things, i still believe he wasnt really there in the library and such)... he is either KIA or MIA or is out of Bellas life for a different reason, either way a traumatic thing happend to Bella involving him. And i dont think he will come back.

from Reddit. It's not perfect, but it should give you all the information you need to forge your own path. For the most recent episode, the best option seems to to just not join them at Bella's and hope we get to tell both that we love them at the same time at a later date, but it's probably best to have a save at that particular choice ready in case it's used to fuck you over.

 

[Hahn1900]

Has DPC given an estimate on update, Spring perhaps?

DPC never has, and never will give any form of ETA. Not even a prediction or anything else like that... DPC only confirms the release date when the development is finished, he sets a date then, and thats it... in the past it was 2-3 weeks before the actual release date.

But dont expect the release before november 2026... a good guess now is december 2026... and even that could be optimistic.

Well i have J&M in three different playthroughs now... equal, josy favor and maya favor... but did many more, though i deleted them... i made a dik and neutral run too for example... but they didnt felt good.

The equal path does not really exist, at least at this point... No matter what you do, you will have some RP more for maya or Josy, and who ever does have more, will get the date-scene (aka ILY scene) in ep 11, you cant avoid that. I have made a perfect equal run, and still got the scene with Maya. Though you have the choice to dont say ILY back, but it doesnt change the fact that you will get the date, and she will tell it the MC.

MAYBE ep12 will make the equal path possible again, so the other girl will get a ILY scene too... to even out things. But it doesnt look like it. At this point Josy and Maya are pretty much seperated, and i dont see how this will change and that all three will be happy together...

The scene with Neil was more than a hint to that "one will be getting hurt"... its basically a promise.

Iam convinced, there will never be a throuple in the end.

To be on the "safe" side for all playthroughs... just play a J&M playthrough until episode 5, the real branching starts at the end of episode 5 overall. After the party when you either can go with Maya or Josy... thats the first real heavy branching choice...

In my equal playthrough i go with Josy in ep 5 and later in ep 7 i visit Maya... the ep 7 scene with Maya is soooo wholesome, and grants you the possibilty to creampie her in episode 8. She is more open in the hot tub threesome too if you visited her in episode 7. For Josy there are no changes if you dont visit her in EP7... so yeah... ep5 Josy, and ep 7 maya is the best for an equal run in my opinion... and you will get in the end of the halloween episode the dialoge that they are all equaly experienced...

In ep10 if you are on an equal path, the branches will be set again to "seperate" them... cause you can either get an extra scene with maya OR Josy, not both.

So if you dont want to create three different playthroughs starting with episode 5.... you can just make an equal run until episode 10 too, and go from there in favor to either Josy or Maya. Most heavy branching points at that point are the choice if you either get the maya or Josy scene in ep 10, and afterwards if you got the contract for Maya or not. If you are equal until ep 10, its still very easy to turn the route into favor Josy or Maya without having to count each Relationshippoints... But no matter what you do, after episode 10 one girl will have more points than the other... no matter what.

*Edit* oh and chick is the best for Josy and Maya... there are no extra dik or neutral options in the choices (especially during lewd scenes), but as a chick you get some. Its not much, but at least something (i like the chick option with maya in ep 7 very much... thats love making)... Though there are some funny scenes as a Dik with Josy, but only 2 or 3 stillrenders in total. Not really worth it. As neutral you dont have anything "positive" in a J&M playthrough, you miss out on the chick scenes, and dont get DIK scenes either... you basically get nothing extra as neutral... neutral is a waste of time for a J&M playthrough. Though many think its the most "natural" MC... but i dont think so... more like... shizo. Cause you have to make choices to stay neutral that dont fit each other.

Why should the relationship end? Just because Josy suffers from "home blindness"?

Josy herself said at the end of the conversation that she wants to, so that their love can blossom again. Therefore, Josy and Maya will continue to work on their relationship.

Hi im new here. Which version should i download? Season 1+2?

 

[19Castiel23]

I simply can not refrain from pointing out that Iris as she is in the preview is actually not in the game yet. The game now only has the video call version of Iris. Are you sure you want to call that the sexiest character in the game?

The "I love you" scene from Episode 11 is decided at the beginning of Episode 7 if Josy and Maya are treated equally. At least, that's how it works for me. If the MC calms Maya down, she gets the scene in Episode 11, and vice versa for Josy. You should pay attention to DPC's hints in the game because before the decision at the beginning of Episode 7, we see a poster telling us to save our progress. So, create a save file.

Example of another DPC hint: The same applies to something Tommy said to the MC in Episode 4. He should think outside the box. How many will have forgotten that line? But in Episode 11, the MC opens the box, and it's empty. But later, Sally's mask is lying right next to the box. Think outside the box.

We decide on the three-way relationship in Episode 4: no throuple, friendship, or romance. This decision will influence solo routes and the three-way relationship.

The thing with Neil will probably be resolved in Episode 12. Maya asked the MC if he'd explained it to Neil correctly, and the idiot hadn't, because he hadn't told Neil a crucial detail. Therefore, I strongly suspect this is how Christmas will play out. Josy will celebrate with her mother, Iris, Derek will be with Helen and Patrick, and Maya will be with the MC and Neil. Why? Neil was alone for Thanksgiving, and this will be balanced out at Christmas. Maya will tell Neil about the missing detail. What would that be?

That Maya and Josy were already in a relationship before they even met the MC. The MC hadn't told Neil this. Neil's biggest fear was that everyone would feel the same way the MC did. Josy only told Maya this so that she wouldn't reflexively tell her she loved Maya anymore. But Josy didn't say it so that she wouldn't love Maya anymore. Remember Episode 4? Josy said that so she wouldn't show it to Maya lately (EP11), but also so that deep down she would never stop loving Maya (EP12). And another hint from DPC. EP4 already shows us what's to come.

They have said that before though and didn't do the work aka ep8. They will try but as the couch scene shows it going to fail again. Could there be a path where it save sure but feels like a don't count on it

That's isn't how it works at all, it is based on who's scenes you have more of, if it within one then it goes to RP but it got nothing to do with you side with in ep7
