VN Ren'Py Broken Promises [v0.38] [Light Cavalry]

[Dessolos]

Well, I've sunk some time into things, gotten to the MC and Alice shopping and boy is it a mess.
Literally everything seems to be connected to a crime family, MC's mom likely got offed by the crime family MC's dad worked for early on, that same crime family seems to have a sick head honcho and what with Alice's grandfather also being supposedly sick and the schism between Alice's father and Tianna, wouldn't be surprised if they're involved with the same family aswell.

Not a fan of the childhood friend right now, given that she's some sort of tech genius she likely knows exactly what the MC's career has been like and knows that he won't give up on something, and now she's just actively sabotgaing for him.

Brie is pretty interesting, pretty sure her family somehow got impacted by the crime family aswell given how the game seems to be intertwining a LOT of different routes. She should probably also chill just a tad on the eyeshadow/eyeliner combo because my god it's darker than my future. I'm also half expecting Afina's abusive ex-boyfriend to be the same yokel who's now taking over the crime family. It'd only be fitting with how things are getting tied up.

I will say, overall really interesting and I'm looking forward to the next update.
Also I am a sucker for redheads, freckles and green eyes so Eveline is just not even remotely fair.

Yeah this is one of those games either you like how intertwined this game is or you find it annoying. I personally like it if the payoff is good when revelations happens cause im a sucker for reveals. About the Childhood friend yeah she is an engima for me she is someone I should straight up dislike but I can't and afraid for her as I get a feeling she is going to get arrested or hurt and I don't want either to happen. Tho I have a feeling her sabotaging is not really to stall the MC or the police but rather just to keep the bad guys from suspecting her. As I think she is waiting to make her move against them somehow. That and probably doesn't want the MC involved and risk him getting killed. Which is something I do not like. It feels to illogical for he to do everything alone when she can rely on him for help. Unless of course she actually turns out to be a bad guy later and just doesn't want him to get hurt but for now I get a feeling she isn't.

Yeah, I mean it did catch me offguard but I don't currently dislike how intertwined things are. There are a few games I've played that have done something similar and the dev seems to be doing a proper job of it aswell since most things are pretty straight-forward but it isn't necessarily outright told to the player so there's a bit of ambiguity and mystery about it nonetheless, which works.

As for the childhood friend, who knows, her perhaps waiting to make a move against them could be the reason but if that was the case, I don't see why she shouldn't have atleast tried to get help from her previous friend and also the best detective in the entire state that also is working on trying to bring the crime family down.
That and the sabotage are the main reasons as to why it feels like she's working far more for them than anything else, and who knows there might be a reason for that, but given that the main bad guy yokel said something along the lines of "I've been taking care of her since the incident with her mom", I'm guessing that her mom died and she's now viewing them as more of a family than anything.

Basically, I think there'll be a LOT of drama with her and as it stands right now, she seems more with them than anything else.
