Just finished this update. A lot can happen in two days!

• Lucy's still at the top of my list, with Sarah a very close second. "You're all equal," says MC, but she's obviously first among equals. And it only makes sense; the harem was her idea, after all. Wouldn't be my pick based purely on looks (though she is very cute), but her personality more than makes up for it. And that seems to be pretty common for me in these games--more often than not, my favorite LI isn't the one I'd consider best-looking. Thought it probably helps that in the world of AVNs, everyone's at least an 8.
• Not surprised, but still happy to see Sarah join the club. I liked the twist that she was making a deliberate effort to be on everyone's good side; she's the first (after Lucy) to specifically try to get added to the harem. Photo shoot was well done and got very hot (though the texture of the fishnet bodysuit looked a little weird under her breasts for a couple of the shots). I think she's finally gotten the message that MC really likes her, and also is really attracted to her. Sex with her can wait, though I doubt it'll be long.
• Catherine is more relatable, her sisters are cute, and Ivy's sharp as a tack. I expect they, and their mother, assume (and in the case of her mother, maybe even hope) more happened Thursday night than actually did. And I think she's seeing MC in a better light.
• Rachel's still at "F that bitch" in my book, but I doubt we've seen the last of her. I won't say she can't be redeemed, nor even that I won't think better of her after it happens (as I expect it will), but I don't think I'd mind not seeing her again. But her taking MC's words to heart and admitting it seems like the way it's going to go.

Now back to waiting...

Is Vicky a joke to you? Pretty sure she wanted in the first she found out MC was with Lucy.

I think it was more realizing that she enjoyed the punishments than that he liked Lucy. But yea, she's definitely the second who wanted to join. Also, despite being a double agent, Kat was pretty aggressive about her desire to join the harem ... at least she can talk now.

The punishments came into picture only because she liked the MC. She would not have done it for any other person. She even stated that MC is the first guy who has seen her naked. She had her doubts about this harem concept(as she is not a Founding family member, this concept was a bit new to her) but when she found out that the MC was with Lucy, she set her doubts aside and finally decided that she also wants to be a part of the harem.

You're not wrong, and I agree she was competing with Lucy once she realized she wanted to be part of his life, not just work for him, but I still feel like her decisions all started with the punishments ... of course she wouldn't have let him do them if she didn't like him ... eh, I'm not entirely sure we're not just coming at the same conclusion from different points of view anyway.

Point of contention here: Vicky never stated that she wanted to be THE girlfriend, she wanted to be a girlfriend as well. She full invested into harem from the get go.

I'll defer to the collective memory on Vicky. I don't think I count Kitty, though. Something still feels different about Sarah, but I might have to give some further thought to what it is.

Sarah's wife material. At least that's how it feels to me. Out of all of them, if you had to pick just one as a wife......for me that's Sarah.

Sarah's wife material.

Of course, even MC thinks so:

Maybe, anyway.

Dude .. I will say, I was like that the first time I held my twins. I am 6'7" and my kids were tiny.

All of them are wife material but Lucy is harem queen for a reason.

I think the term you are looking for is cuckquean.

Sarah's wife material.

As I think about it a bit more, yes, she is, but the only one? Eh, not sure there. I'd say all the current girlfriends are, and probably a few others. Alison, definitely (she's very practical). Elizabeth, maybe (ditto). Misaki, meh (don't dislike her, but doesn't really do anything for me). Hannah, Catherine, TBD. But in trying to rank them, I can't yet bring myself to put Sarah above Lucy.

I do like the relationship dynamic, particularly that MC is putting so much effort into showing her that yes, he's really into her, and yes, he's really attracted to her. I don't think Lucy considered herself particularly attractive, but she didn't seem to have trouble accepting it, so we didn't see that much with her.

Sarah in the harem seems the most unlikely, and it's pretty obvious why. She's got serious body issues, and a self-esteem crisis that is blatant because of those issues. It's a very good possibility that everytime MC chooses a girl that is not Sarah, Sarah's gonna internalize her self-doubt and it's going to fester. Everytime MC plays with a girl with bigger boobs, all Sarah is going to see is that her fears about her bust size are true. I can only see giant eruptions looming if Sarah joins the fray as it were.

where are you in the story?

i am not going to write an official review at this time as the game is not yet complete, however i would like to say that i have played alot of the so called most liked games on this site and this one by far has become my favourite.

yes the graphics are great and I'm so glad see the progression with Sarah at the end because so many times i walked her home and just wanted say no come back to my cafe.

the graphics the animations both great and the models amazing but finally a story I'm intrigued with and want to know how it will work out and characters i really can relate too and understand.

i hope you keep up this great work as this is looking so good it may be first game i give 5 stars too and would so try give 6 too.

In my mind, yes, Sarah's the only one I would consider wife materal. I like Lucy, don't get me wrong, but long term as a wife, for me, no. She's wonderful, sweet, you name it, but.....day after day, year after year? Not for me.

I think you might change up how you said, if you look at it from a different perspective. I think several are wife material, but maybe you feel Sarah is the only one as wife material as the currently relationship is defined (so all the harem). Personally I could easily see Hannah, Catherine, Alison, Sarah as wives if you were to have a single wife. As the harem goes though, that is where things get rough. Sarah said she doesn't mind multiple wives, Hannah and Catherine haven't said much as they are not at that relationship level yet. I don't know what Alison has in mind, but damn, so far, I would pick her over any of the others (then again, I am older, and I like a woman who is confident).

 

[danb35]

If I'm not trying to rank them, I could easily see any of the four + Alison as an only wife. Elizabeth would have a strong shot as well--we haven't seen too much of her, but like Alison she seems pretty practical and to know what she wants. Hannah and Catherine aren't there yet IMO, but I could easily see them getting there. Looks really aren't a factor here--sure, I like some better than others, but they're all at least 8s.

And in-game, of course, there's no reason to limit yourself--you're the head of a Founding Family, so you can have all the wives you want.

But trying to pick the top one as the only wife (which need not be the same as "favorite LI")? Tough. Sarah's definitely high on the list. I still think Lucy edges her out, though; her personality (like Jenny's in Ripples, regarding whom I've been yelling at MC to just stay in 1999 and marry her) is just too hard to resist.

where are you in the story?

Multiple full playthroughs. I know where they are at in their relationship, but so far he's been spending his energy in pursuit. He's also not had to deny her for someone else.
