agree, but there is always some pressure for more LIs and lewds... so the dev adds some. But the "canon" story is absolutely of Jaye/MC finding each other again, at least for me, but I'd guess it's true for a lot of others too.

Chasing Sunsets begins as a story about two people who fell in love with each other and did not know what to do about it.

I've tried both paths - focus on Mallory (who is a Very endearing, quirky character and easy to love) as well as Jaye.

For me... Fixing my relationship with Jaye and pursuing her romantically is the most satisfying of all the LI relationships in CS.

I recognize that this is not the case for others, but I felt the Alex/Jaye journey, supported by Tara (and even George) was/is my favorite journey in Chasing Sunsets.

This is the first AVN for this dev team and I think they did a Great job.

For Firebreak - their next AVN, I hope that there are at least two LI's who are as compelling in the hopes for their future with the MC as Jaye is for Alex in Chasing Sunsets.

So...IMO... Jaye is the canon LI.

Cheers!! :coffee:

I never really felt pressured or penalized by NOT romancing Jaye. You can have a positive sibling relationship with her even if you chose Mallory, and you don't have to compete with her for the company if you go that route. So I'm not sure what you mean by "pushes you back onto it".

I pretty strongly disagree with the idea that we're pidgeon-holed into a romance with Jaye. There are two main LIs in the VN and both will have "canon endings". And if Jaye or Mallory were to have post-CS appearances in the next story, the question of who ended up with who will intentionally be left vague if STS handles the cameo well.

You aren't required to have sex with Jaye, no, but the game does struggle with her role if you don't. The MC literally slams a door on her and never really goes back to hash out a fraternal relationship. So you get weird things like the MC letting Mallory propose doing body shots then waiting for Jaye to decline, or Jaye setting up a romantic dinner with the MC for no reason. And unless they finally overhauled it, there are a bunch of times you need to be romancing Jaye to max out your points with Mallory, which is just weird.

So I do think the game has a clear bias in favor of Jaye as at least a short-term romance.

Just caught this posted in a Dev Log for Origin Story:

And just on a slightly ego-boosting tangent, I recently got a message from the dev of Chasing Sunsets, a game I ADORE (as you’ll see in Chapter 4), saying how much he liked Origin Story so far… so I’m still kind of on cloud nine from that one. Whoop whoop!

Might be another Chasing Sunsets crossover on the horizon to watch out for! I did notice Kentyrr in that discord. At the very least it sounds like there's going to be a Chasing Sunsets mention in the upcoming chapter for that VN.

Yall are actually wild and i'll never understand how anyone likes Jaye. From the first moment she brought that dude onto the boat for you to take care of i was out, completely out and was like Nah bitch that's your problem you deal with it.

Every other girl was better then her even side ones like Tara, Linda and Erica. Thankfully Mallory is a sweetheart and the best love interest.

You strike me as the kind of person who's also never understood the sheer cathartic pleasure of a proper hatefuck, either. That's not a criticism, it's just one of those things. Some people get it and understand, and others have never had the experience, so it remains alien.

That is a surprising take imo, if you take into consideration Mallory was literally the only character to approach Alex with ulterior motives in mind. Thankfully she comes clean really fast about her goals and the reason she sought him out. Had that taken just a little longer and she would be instantly on my shitlist.

That said, I like Mallory but never, ever, in a million years as a possible love interest. Her banter with the MC is great but not enough to elevate her from the friendzone. I put her on the same level as Erica, Linda, Lisa, Bianca, Fiona, Tanaka etc.

My top 3 are Tara, Amanda and Jaye. I like the entire cast. The devs did an amazing job creating an interesting and likeable group of characters but only these 3 would be possible LI's for me personally.
