VN Ren'Py Beyond Tomorrow [Ch.3 Part 1] [Dream Games]

[ImariKurumi]

Went through the thread and now I am even more confused about this one than before.
Let's say I would not like a whinny mc (or someone who is kinda person other walk all over), nor I am into NTR (except netori), and having a harem route is good.
Considering all that, is this one worth playing?

The MC male lead is fine. He's the only one trying to hold everything together. His sister is the problematic one. She is the female lead too so playing the game can be a frustrating experience. Overall i'm enjoying the narrative but the sister, goddamn, she is the root cause of all of her problems. Granted, it makes sense in a realism setting, everyone has different coping mechanics and they can be healthy or unhealthy.

Pretty sure there won't be any NTR relative to the male lead. Not sure if dev will have lewd scenes for non-LIs & their partners though, like the sister who is a lesbian.

And probably won't be a harem. Seems dev is going for a real life setting & narrative with focus on drama & soap opera elements. So likely solo routes but not sure if there'll be throuples and such or similar combinations like having a mistress/affairs/cheating etc.

The biggest disappointment is that the older women and milfs are not romanceable, maybe at best they might be distractions. Their models are gorgeous but that's not the main point. They have little screentime but dev has set up fitting backstories & personalities for them. They definitely have LI potential especially in a story like this where the MC needs a helping hand or guidance and also an outside perspective from actual mature adults. Imo, the game is saturated with young adult/adolescent angst and drama. They're idiots. Having the milfs with years of life experience on their belt as a Love Interest option will be a good counterbalance and offer more stability for the MC.

But maybe actually showing us (players) Olivia and Sasha having sex during that flashback?
Oh no that would have probably scared the "chads" and anti-NTR brigade away?

It's not probably but actually. In the old version, there was an explicit sex scene between Liv and Sasha.
The marks of the butthurt of the mentioned groups can probably even be found in the thread, if the mods haven't cleaned it all up.

Susan, while not a MILF (childless, as far as we know), is romanceable, as is the dean.

Chloe sex scene is amazing and that's the only thing I care about in this game

Does the story gets any better after cpt1? Cause where im at in the story just looks like a emulation of Oceans way of settings a narative ( that i dont like too btw). Cancer lore is not my thing.

Honestly, I think this game executes it better. At least we're actually told what's going on, instead of having to piece everything together from context.

Hey, has the MC already hooked up with anyone in this game?

 

[Aristos]

Damn, man, that's a strong statement that I can't deny.

The story's pretty good, dev's very talented too, there's no denying these two obvious things, but the truth is, said story is clearly not good enough to justify the time it takes the dev to release updates.

It's understandable why a guy in MC's case would have at least a few other more important priorities than to score with attractive women he interacts with, and this is why releasing a minimum of two substantial updates a year that mostly focus on the story until we get to the good part are needed, IMO.

This way, both story-focused game fans and 'scientists' looking for research material can get the exact type of content they're looking for after a reasonable amount of time and can throw some money the dev's way in return.

Seeing how this doesn't happen, it only increases my concerns about the game eventually getting slapped with the dreaded yellow tag, instead the sweet blue one, while we're waiting on more content to be released.

I think I didn't make it clear enough, so I want to clarify that when I said this game was already worse than Become A Rock Star, I was exclusively referring to the sexy sister whose curves are purposely displayed in our faces but we can't touch. If she's not a LI and there's no wincest in the game (which is understandable), an honest dev should stay away from using her as fake bait.
