The above discussions are great, and so I'll throw my two cents in.

Its hinted at within the story that Jaye is the true love interest for the MC just by the things they've done as kids and teenagers. MC has always loved Jaye (and his parents) to the point he left because he felt it was the best option for Jaye to grow as her own person. However its clear that both MC and Jaye were hurt by this decision that was a result of miscommunication from day one. Jaye says it best during chapter 4, its not up to the MC to make decisions for her and he needs to accept that if a relationship is going to work between them.

Mallory also works as a love interest for similar reasons. During their time in Aspen the MC sees a side of her thats broken, leading him to feel as if he needs to protect her like he does with Jaye. However Mallory is a more tragic character due to her birth being an enigma and her father being a shitty person. She's even haunted by his insults as she still hears him up until she starts getting closer to the MC (mentioned in chapter 3 when she messages her best friend). In a way the MC unknowingly helps to fix the broken parts of her just by being supportive of her whenever possible.

Both characters can fill the role of the main love interest for the MC, but choosing Jaye feels tragic for Mallory. Chapter 4 addresses her thoughts towards the relationship between the MC and Jaye in which she knows how much he loves her. She accepts that he'll ultimately choose Jaye but hopes to be able to experience intimacy before that choice is made.



The story crafting by Kentyrr and Stoya has been fantastic and continues to improve. From the previews of chapter 5 it's apparent some difficult times are ahead of us. It'll be interesting if it'll be the "crossroads" chapter that'll cut off all other relationships moving forward.

Indeed. But you are forgetting the game's most annoying plot hole. That he kept calling her EVEN THOUGH HE IS THE ONE WHO BLOCKED HIS NUMBER ON HER PHONE!!!

REALLY? Oh my, I guess I didn't catch this. I'll have to go back - I remember when he showed up with Tara and Jaye, it was discovered she (Jaye) blocked the number (2 phones ago), and Tara told her she needed to undo that because 'blocking' is account-wide.

Is that not how the dialogue played out?

color me confuzzled right now.


EDIT - I went back and re-read that exchange. Tara said to Jaye "You have his number blocked since 5 years ago."
Jaye said "that was 4 phones ago. And I would never block MC"

But that was the end of that - so maybe he admits this later, and I missed it.

Another weird timeloop issue - J asks you "did you have sex with Tara", but at that point there was no evidence to the viewer that he had, but he only had "Lie - say no" or Tell truth say yes"

It wasn't till AFTER that exchange that you see what happened between them and Tara tells MC "not to lie to J about it"

Probably did it so if they did a phone test like they did in the story where he was standing there with Tara & Jaye and they had him call both their phones and Jaye's didn't ring but Tara's did, he wouldn't be outed right off the bat.

I don't buy that explanation - doesn't make sense. Tara said it was blocked 5 years prior.. He must have done it before he left.

But I don't remember that coming to light in the story.

Yeah the MC did mention after reuniting with her, that he blocked his number on her phone before leaving IIRC

Yeah then that would def be a weird plot hole that is unexplainable that he doesn't remember blocking her number - or of course he does, and he lied that he tried calling her so many times the previous post suggested. Weird.

Admittedly it's been a about 4 months since i played it, so it's quite possible i am not remembering correctly, but i'm pretty sure that he did mention he blocked his number in her phone, and admitted it to her when he came back home

In Chapter 3 Tara indirectly accuses the MC of setting the block himself and he doesn't dispute it. Then in Chapter 4 the MC will confess to Jaye that he did indeed set up the block (assuming he honors the bed fort treaty).

What isn't explained is when the MC set up the block or why he would accuse Jaye of ignoring his calls when he knows she wouldn't have received them. The only time we know the MC had access to her phone was right before the graduation party fiasco, and it seems unlikely he'd block her number then. But he left that night, so unless he somehow got her phone again before he left or blocked himself remotely, it must have been then.

Likewise we're not told why he blames Jaye for ignoring his calls. The only plausible explanation I can come up with is that he just forgot about the block until Tara found it. That would mostly make sense (it's been 7 years at that point), but you'd think he'd just say so during his confession rather than offer the lame excuse that he couldn't think of a way around the block after their parents died.

Overall, the block feels more like a retcon than a foreshadowed plot point, but it's a relatively minor issue so I'm not going to fret about it.

Dont know what a "daz model" is.
As for Lauren makes sense, too - cuz I always thought she looked a little like Gollum.


In this game I'm far more attracted to Mal than Jaye. Jaye has a more smoking body I think but I love Mal's personality, nicer boobs, but also Jayes eyebrows bug me (too dark) and mostly cuz I think she looks like Miley Cyrus. The scene(s) when her hair in wrapped in a towel and all you see is her face - the resemblance is much more pronounced.

HAHAHA - I posted this yesterday, and I mused she looked like Miley Cyrus.
In Chpt 4 which I am playing now, MC says to J: "You've become a Miley Cyrus Father's Day Card".

I swear I hadn't read that yet - it was my own musing without any influence from anywhere else. But I had to laugh out loud when I saw that.

Noted. Well I just started chp 4 just five minutes ago - so I hadn't gotten that clarification yet. Makes sense.

And yah - probably a retcon to fill in a plot hole.

I have to apologize to the board for my Sam Kinison meme. Not for the meme itself. Sam Kinison is fucking awesome. But it was supposed to be behind a spoiler tag and for some reason (probably because I had the cursor in the wrong place when I pushed the button) it was not. So I see I spoiled it for somebody who hadn't played the chapter yet. So I own up to my mistakes and say sorry. I have edited it to hide the spoiler even though it is kinda like closing the barn door after the cow is already a steak on the neighbor's dinner table.

But the main character is a dumbshit nonetheless.

Dont even sweat it, mate; not even a wee tad bit. It was such a small minor thing to be honest. It kinda didn't make sense when I read it and not sure it really means anything at all. I do appreciate your gesture though.

And I agree - Sam Kinison was awesome!

Besides, I couldn't stay focused on anything as trivial as that, once I got to the

wow. I've mentioned how I've seen images in game that resemble Miley Cyrus and is a bit offputting (to me) as are her Matt Dillon eye brows.

And I will admit I don't see that here - and in fact this is truly a goddess level gorgeous image of her. And the eyebrows while still too dark are nicer, neater and thinner here. Divinity! DAMN. Her piercing green eyes and sunkissed skin is intoxicating completely!
