Elsa being an alter ego would explain a bit of how she never wants the MC to talk to her in front of people, or touch, or a host of other little things.

It'd be pretty on the nose to do that though, since it's already heavily riffing off of Fight Club.
How can the other colleagues talk to Elsa when she's an alter ego? This Matt douchebag even wants to hit on her.
And not to mention that Matt has the hots for Elsa. If she's an alter-ego... :WeSmart:

I AmAB is no longer modding the multi mod
If you need a mod then just use URM. It works on Corporate Culture (as well as just about every RenPy game), doesn't replace any game files, and you can use on day one of release without having to worry about outdated mods.

Honestly not sure why people bother with game-specific mods anymore. URM is all you need for a mod.

Would love to discuss one point with ya boys :coffee:
If someone would consider behavior of Elsa only based on her advises towards MC, most of people could easily say she is quite career driven girl. Yet considering she herself is kinda low grade slave in this corporation all this it quite big contradiction don't u think? She had some opportunities to perhaps push them tasks under herself name and gain some points sacking MC yet she chose to help him instead. I get it, saving poor MC has some sense but such a grounded girl would prolly wanted to gain a bit more of this game yet she keeps it low profile. Any ideas why? She certainly is not broke, what could mean she ain't pushing hard cuz she doesn't have to. Anyways, love to hear ya ideas ;)
I don't like Tony's point of view, but may be He is right) Elsa is a bit strange))
1) just think about the very first scene (prologue with Edward and another person in a car under the rain);

2) she doesn't want to talk about her family and she doesn't want to talk about her childhood and her private life;

3) when the hairdresser who's cutting Edward's hair tells Elsa "how is Mrs..." (something like that), she cuts him off on the spot - it is clear to me that she doesn't want Edward hears her name. My guess is that this woman might be her mother, most likely her stepmother / her aunt, anyway a healthy and most influential person;

4) she clearly comes from a very influential and healthy family, but she doesn't want people - her fellow coworkers (I'm not talking about CEOs and higher executives) - around her to know it;

5) just think about the very first scene where Edward sees her (not the first time they talk), when the CEO talks to her in the hallway;

6) it goes without saying that the story that her IT nerd friend told her about EO and that is the reason why she works at EO is a blatant lie.

My educated guess is that she is scheming something against the company. But this is just speculation.

I have the sad feeling that we'll never know.

-----

edit:

7) think about the scene in the café with Edward, her female friend and Alice, when her friend tells her - about Edward after he starts chatting with Alice (something like that): "what the hell are you plotting out of your boredom now?"

Has anyone asked the dev what ed_sc stands for rather than just speculating. seems like he could clear that real quick if he were so inclined.

Well, "self-control variable points" sounds like a plausible answer to me.

Hangover00 bro has had too many hangovers.

After I finally saw that Fight Club movie I came to the conclusion that anyone who compares and makes parallelisms between this AVN and that movie is... well, a little bit looney (please take no offense, bro) and totally way off about the whole meaning of this AVN.

There is a reason some people make that parallelism. It may not be the case but it gives that feeling.

2020 called and wants the premise back, because seven updates in,
we should be looking for a conclusion, not wallow in the prologue:
Dev set up for this game:

Why does this game evoke a different Edward to the MC? well, if we dive a little into the game play, we can find some truths in the matter.
The name of the MC, the nonsensical incredible Elsa introduction, the absurd (even by tyler durded standards) rise of Elsa and Alice into their positions of slave drivers to MC and wallowing in their nefound glory to have such a devoted simpleton groveling personal assistent in MC - nonthreatening, lifeless, goalless, inadequate social outcast of a male antihero sorely deconstructed supporting undercharacter. These all point to a very credible inspiration from a way better story and movie that got world wide acclamation already.

21,599 posts in and at least one of your posts should have had a clear point by now
Trouble of being stuck in a game where MC is constantly back under the crushing hooves of both Alice and Elsa every damn update is the feeling of everything not making much sense in the grand scheme of things. Wanting this game to move forward and actually play to the premise of 2020 is keeping a lot of players around .. hope never dies, nor does it beat you over the head with what could, would or should have been.

The only available choices lead to failure, fair enough different degree of failure, but still failure, which in turns unlock yet more opportunities for him to be treated as an idiot (which he is) by Elsa.
This is what goes on when you cannot write antihero at all: John Constantine, Neo, Hulk, Batman, Superman - they all have their recurring plot armored vilains just like Elsa or Alice with Joker, Luthor, Lucifer/son of lucifer/ scorned angel, Banner or his dad or the red hulk or his girlfriend father - they all have vilains that keep trashing them left and right, but they always inch closer and closer to their goal of bettering themselves - but this game keeps dumping on MC hard every update and there is no incremental upside to his struggle, despite him employing some of his self help techniques rather successfully for very limited moments throughout the game.

Funny how this game brags about MC having read many self-help books, but his skills always stop at the few pages in the beginning of such books, when any self-help book out there in the world will teach the reader many techniques to stay away from Elsa and Alice all together and distance himself from his friend who always brings NTR vilains into his life - like the goons he knows from work that keep beating MC up and stealing the girls from right in front of MC.

After playing the new update I have a few questions

Answering your questions:

1) they purpotedly placed them in Edward's team in order to make him fail; then, they can sack them all (Ed as well);

2) yes, it feels so;

3) I have the sour and sad feeling that we shouldn't expect anything.

Damn .. One of the best game ever on this place might simply disappear in this case. The dynamic of power in the company and the mentorship of Elsa was something that made the plot feel really fucking interesting. Now, with the last update, it feels like the MC became your classic night shift manager from McDonalds that sees himself as a king after tasting a little bit of power. I'll keep my faith in the developer, his brain was good enough to make the beginning so even with a shaky middle maybe the end will shine.

Did the developer mention how many updates are planned for this game before?

That would give an idea on when we gonna see some action other than with the fat neighbour

This game is just a disappointment now. The story goes nowhere and Elsa is becoming more and more unlikeable to me. Shame.

If you expect any kind of intimacy or affection with Elsa, so far this game aint got it. v0.7 lol
Should probably drop the 'romance' tag all together until the dev actually includes some. All we've got thus far is a cringe inducing obsession over the first "love interest", friend-zoning from another, then if you so choose; using and abusing a third.

I really liked this game at first but it has been hard to root for the MC for a long time now, not due to the lack of sex (or love), but because of the MC's unreal ignorance while dialoguing as intelligent and witty. He has next to no redeeming qualities either which is why I totally get why Elsa is likely dating the IT guy on the low.

I've been baffled for the entire latter half of this game but I'm still holding out hope that in maybe 2 years when it's finished, there's SOME sort of substance here for a premise that I was actually excited about.
