I did not originally expect the poly path.

I was looking forward to either a Jaye ending or a Mallory ending based on my choices, which I got.

I don't think it is strange for Jaye to be the catalyst for a polyamory relationship with Mallory and the MC.

Who is more likely to persuade Mallory to share the MC?

- the MC, with a guy's motivations for sex

or

- Jaye, who wants all three of them to be happy together and build a new family around the three of them.

Jaye can persuade Mallory that this is okay - and something worth pursuing - because she is the one willing to give up dedicated time with the MC so that Mallory and the MC can also build their relationship.

She can also appeal to the friendship that she and Mallory have been building and that Jaye sees polyamory as a way to make their relationship even stronger.

I don't know what differences the devs assign to a polyamorous versus throuple relationship - if any (I want to say it is more than mere semantics but that is just my conjecture for now).

I think we need to wait for the final release with all the epilogue moments to get clarity here.

IMO - still a great story with characters that resonate with me, and I would have been fine with just the two solo endings - Jaye and Mallory.

Was the polyamory ending or the throuple commentary/ending? (whether they are effectively the same or different) a bridge too far?

I won't know until we have the end of the story, and I am still looking forward to seeing what happens in those epilogue moments.

Cheers!! :coffee:

Just skipping through the game again looking for something and I got back to this scene. Bearing in mind I've not played the other game (yet), I've only just paid enough attention, with enough knowledge, to get this username...

Previously, I only figured it must be a cameo when seeing her "actual" face, which otherwise didn't fit. I think that was the first cameo I'd seen that I was aware of, so I didn't know they were a thing prior to this.

Right there with you.

I do see how the open relationship options are confusing/misleading.
However, I do not think the writers/dev intended this as a "gotcha" of any kind.
They were just kind of stuck in the character's head space and not seeing how an outside reader might interpret the options relative to the story/situations.

I also thought Jaye solo, which is more appropriately described as intimate relationship, being the catalyst for the poly relationship seemed obvious.
If you wanted Jaye at the end, she was going to have to be locked in an intimate relationship.
She wasn't sharing the MC at the nightclub with Mallory.
Jaye was competing with Mallory.
Jaye needed the certainty of being #1.
Then as the story progresses, you see Jaye become more connected, flirty, sexually playful/open with Mallory.
So, Jaye feeling her #1 spot secure, she's ok with "sharing" MC with Mallory.

Mallory is the one that's "tricky" to get the poly ending...

Of course, there's always Joker's mod, which solves the "open" relationship problem, minus the tiny "bug" where only Jaye shows up in the bar at the end... :ROFLMAO: But, the "status" page shows both Mallory and Jaye are good with exploring polyamory.
Add: that "bug" might be fixed, haven't played the updated v1.01 Joker mod, yet.

This. Way too many cameos now in way too many fucking VN's...not even amusing anymore. It's almost like they are trying too hard to insert X character into a scene just for the sake of it. Got to the point where the story is bein written around instertig cameos instead of the other way around. I've started ditching VN's that do this too much now...just ridiculous.

Did they forgot to mention the use of Steph model from Drifty?
During Jaye n Tara(after the MC/Tara scene) text chat in Ch.2-3, the scene progresses automatically unlike in any other text chat segment in-game where it's manual.
Same in Fiona/MC chat where she says shes in the villa,
The autosave to page 99 is a dick move with no relatively quick way to get there.
The unskippable animation of the high shot of the seas on main screen is weird given that the company logo is easily skippable.

I really feel like I'm missing something here. I saw the Completed tag and a lot of people throwing around "Final update" in the thread, but the story feels so unfinished? I did see that they are planning a few more updates, and one of them is going to be an "Epilogue" with more content, but it's sounding like it's going to be a smaller update. Idk maybe it's just the way I saw this update, but it seemed a little lackluster... And then I find out that there is only going to be one more content update, and it all seems like it's ending a little quickly and a little prematurely. This game started off incredibly strong for me, I really don't want to see it end so weak.

Yeah, it's almost like the "Completed" tag has been added prematurely... A bit of common sense just needs to be applied, but from what people more in the know than I have suggested, there's no room for that sort of common sense in the forum rules. The epilogue is part of the story, so it's not complete until that has been added. The devs haven't helped themselves in that respect, by saying the "main story" is complete, or however they worded it, and pushing out the Steam release which apparently is why the "Completed" tag got added.

Agreed. I was pretty surprised and confused about this as well. Glad SonsofLiberty cleaned this up for me earlier in the thread.
