Yeah, the canon ending is good+harem while letting Alora/Alorine live. There's even an achievement for it on Steam.

ngl I hate it that is the canon ending. I wish it was just good vs evil for the canon ending and harem or no harem was up to the player. Cause honestly to me no harem feels much better granted I still need to finish my harems saves but kind of don't have a desire to for a bit cause not as enjoyable for me compared to Hannah solo. Emily I dislike alot , Skylar and Bailey are okay and are the only ones id accept in a harem

Yeah, Hannah solo felt right to me. I don’t DISlike Emily but I have no interest in a relationship. Skylar is ok but I wouldn’t break the solo path for her and Bailey seems more like a kid sister to me. All in all it just feels like too much porn logic is required for a harem to happen.

Yeah id say only Hannah side doesn't require porn logic and maybe Skylar too when it comes to the harem. But Hannah being accepting of Bailey does feel odd to me as much as I like bailey and I agree she would be more of a kid sister when I said I would accept her me more thinking with my dick. Cause I did like the BJ scene alot with her and Hannah showing her the ropes / being there. But then again Alorine was influencing the girls to act different. So then again maybe not so much porn logic because of that but rather it feeling a little forced in the story if you say yes to the harem

Something to keep in mind is that "canon ending" only matters if there is more stuff later. If it ever happens that I continue the story, I MUST have a starting point, and that starting point would obviously be my personally preferred route. Other than that, what I decided to be canon really doesn't matter.

To that end, the upcoming additional content will expand on that ending, as well as the evil ending. Even though evil wasn't canon, it's still getting extra content. It is unlikely to be continued as a full story (the evil side) as a result, but I might be interested in doing more "Stories" (what I'm calling the extra content) if they are well received.

That’s cool. I’ll look forward to any new stories, if they continue from my ending. Personally, I’m not one of the people who has to see all of the content. I try to immerse myself and make the choices that I think that person would make in that situation. I’ve tried replaying things to explore other options but I always feel inclined to make the same choices, to pick the same Li(s) and if I make a bunch of saves and try every option it cheapens the experience for me. There are games where I've hit a bad end and just let the game end there because I wouldn't have changed any of the choices I made.

After I played the last update I waited a bit and then restarted from the beginning because it had been a long time since I’d played Chapter 1. The only thing I did differently (I think – hard to remember with some of the smaller stuff) was kill them at the end. I was much more annoyed by Alora after the full playthrough and I decided that, MC would think of his friends and Hannah and his unborn child – who he hasn’t even really reacted to yet – and do the hard thing to protect them all.

Also, I’m assuming that the fate of the ghost-village and the significance of the amulet will be explained in the prequel, which is what prevented it from being resolved in this story but when I was making the kill/spare decision I thought about the couple in that doorway as well.

I will say that the stories will be done much like the existing gallery and replay system is done. You will need to finish a particular path in order to unlock the related story. So, if you haven't done the evil path, you won't be able to access the evil story. If you haven't done the "true path", then you won't be able to unlock that story. Etc.

And yes, the village will come into play in Darkness & Desire. Some people in this thread have already pointed out that they recognized the ghost girl in the previews for D&D.

I assume it’s all related to Alora saying that MC and Hannah had done this before and the flashes of Hannah as someone else. My immediate thought in the village was that the couple in the doorway was them.

I'm gonna say it. This game needs a Gay tag on it. Kenny and Oscar? Not my thing. I appreciate that at least there is no open intimate scenes between the two, but I'd prefer to not have to endure the lover's banter and tender exchanges.

If there are no gay scenes, it doesn't require a gay tag - otherwise every game would need a gay tag because there are gay people in the world. I really think you should talk to someone about why it bothers you so much though, it sounds like you're repressing something.

Edit: Also, if there were to other straight male characters in the game, it would be difficult to explain why all the women were only interested in MC.

huh why would it need a gay tag if there is no scenes besides talk / banter,. I thought the banter was one of the better parts of the game cause it was funny. Thanks for the laugh over something so stupid

Also, if I stop to think about it, Droos couldn't have done much more to make it clear that there would be no gay scenes - they didn't stay for the movie nights, went to bed before the strip poker game, and for their entire time 'camping' together, Oscar was a dog.

It's one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't situations. Making them gay you get the occasional poster like the one you quoted complaining about that. Make them straight and then you'd have others complaining about NTR bait and wanting those 2 completely removed.

I'm not normally a fan of the guy friends of protagonists in AVNs, generally they're stupid and exist only to get the MC into trouble of one sort or another.

But these 2 were actually pretty decent. I enjoyed their banter, Oscar being turned into a dog for a good chunk of the story was hilarious and Kenny was a solid teammate. They managed to actually act like friends to the MC without being idiots.

Yeah, unfortunately a lot of times they exist as a caricature rather than as actually interesting characters. Not the case here.

Well it's both. I'm very anti-NTR but if you'd had them straight you would have had people worrying about NTR but you also would have had people wanting Kenny to BBD all the women, then you have the problem of explaining why Hannah is cool with threesomes with every woman in the story, including her sister, but not the guys. Male characters, especially straight male characters in non NTR games are always a problem because you have to make it clear that they are not competition for the MC - not even in a harem game - they either have to finish the story alone or with a woman who the MC wouldn't possibly want (which takes some serious imagination) so gay becomes the easiest path if you want them to be normal people.

Yeah which honestly is a bit of a shame because as long as they're likeable without acting like morons there's a lot of potential for male friends, even straight ones. I'd personally be fine with em as long as the dev is clear whether there'll be NTR or not, as someone who doesn't like that either.

But you're right, you'd have some wanting them to seduce the love interests, others afraid they will. And if god forbid they have an attractive wife or girlfriend that isn't a love interest for the MC you'd have lots wanting the option to steal his woman, sometimes even by killing the poor guy :ROFLMAO:

It's probably part timing and part writing, but all this talk makes me appreciate how comparatively little clapback Drifty got over how Chris was used.

That's part of why I've never, as someone who is purely into women, understood homophobia TBH. I remember in school going to a party, and there was a gay couple there and people were whispering homophobic shit and I was like "Oh noes, you mean the two best looking, best groomed, best dressed dudes where (both of whom arrived in expensive cars) are into each other? I don't know WTF you're complaining about, my odds just improved."

gay , BBC , NTR character , friend doesn't matter to me I just want more male characters that are good friends or someone that helps the MC out. Doesn't even need to be a likeable or a good person person but just a good character that you don't get annoyed when he shows up. That is exactly why I love the male characters in this game they are just that.

Since you seem to have some trouble with basic concepts, let me help you out:

  • Gay [Any sex act between two or more males. Not applicable to content involving transgender or futanari characters.]
There is exactly zero sexual acts between male characters in this game. Just because you're a snowflake who isn't secure enough in his masculinity to deal with the mere existence of gay people doesn't mean that it needs a trigger warning. Grow up, act like an adult, and learn how to be a mature person.
