When are people going to understand that the sharing paths are not part of the main story?
I mean, technically nothing besides the D-only path are parts of the main story. This game is called "Dating my Daughter" after all. Not "Dating my Daughter...and her friends". Your 2nd comment, right before I posted this comment, proves my point.

People are frustrated because this chapter was more or less wasted and to be blunt about it, provided a lot of false hope for people. The chapter was meant to be about expanding D's horizons, but with those expanding horizons paths being ditched, this chapter was just a waste of time. The model competition was the only important thing to happen in the entire chapter, nothing else mattered. And she didn't even win it. It's like being teased with all the possibilities, and then the door being slammed in your face.

What is the point of starting those paths, to just end them after 1 chapter? And technically, those paths (at least Martins and Graham/Olivia) started way back in chapter 1 and 2. They got delayed until this chapter because, as we are seeing again, the writers are really not that great at organizing a story.

And I'm talking as someone who is neutral on the whole sharing stuff, I just want a logical and consistent story. I think that is very reasonable.

I've never had an issue with ups and downs with this game or their others, have been a stalwart patron of MrDots' team for some time.



Just when D's personality was branching out and she seemed on the verge of independent thinking that still kept in touch with the MC through mutual love, now we learn it's never been an equal part of her growth path. Instead, we're in this ride for the MC going forward.

It's not as if shtupping other guys was a necessary path for D to take in order to mature, but the entire point about her leaving her mother's cage was to choose her own path and this is one way in which she was expressing free choices in her life. In Chapter 3 it became evident that what was important to D was experiencing all life had to offer in still-responsible ways, never losing sight of the grounding in her relationship with the MC. She had so few close and/or intimate relationships in life, so she wanted to see what it was all about. And she couldn't deny loving it.

But now, that was all a lie: it meant nothing. And with it, I am guessing that many other aspects of self-determination are going a similar way. The ending has been sanitized, for unlike a path where Melody might live without the MC, here it seems proscribed that she stay anchored under the metaphorical weight of his heavy shlong - while he brings in other female friends (with whom he has already been cheating on D) for minor spice.

For the first time ever, I'm thinking heavily of my position as a never-die patron - a position I thought unlikely to occur. This is not just a change in focus or reset of an experiment, but it seems a bad faith fuck-you to a subset of fans who were happy to see a variety of growth paths and maturation possibilities with D. And now we see telegraphing of the ever-fuckable, baby-mommy path as our only option. It was always going to be part of their path together, but now with a heavy dose of vanilla-flavored Valium.

It’s a porn game.

Have you been a Patreon since the beginning? I was and that path was included with what I signed up for.
And that path will be delivered in the next update. Since the men Ryan and Martin are going separate ways, it makes sense that they won't be part of the story anymore.

I am a Georgina/Jen fan and got very few scenes with them. But I get that they're also not part of the main story.

And I believe there should be a bad end when Daughter learns about Father boning her friends. I doubt we will see that happen.

I used to love this game. The gradual corruption of D was great but it sound like they're stopping well before the finish line. Disappointing given that they've been teasing MMF/sharing/Marting for a long time, but it's understandable given that it seems like most fans can't stomach the idea. I don't see the appeal of the game if it's just recycling FFM scenes over and over with little further corruption.

I'm out but credit to mrdots for paving the way for these games which the internet is now choke-full of.

Yeah, this is the saddest part about the whole retcon deal on MMF options: the game will now fully concentrate on the MC's desires ... the same desires he's been satisfying on the side of his relationship with D (by cheating), all along. And she won't care, it will have no impact on their relationship and all we have to learn is that the MC's dick will be mightier than a creative story.

It seems that the emotion we were supposed to feel about D being removed from her fairy-tale imprisonment (under her mother) and moving into the real world has simply about-faced into a pool of vanilla ice cream.

She's to become a princess character all over again: the happily-ever-after type and not much more. Funny thing is, that was always going to be part of this game's ending: however, who she became and how that happened was supposed to be the entertainment part of following this story along, from all the foreshadowing and clear insinuations since Chapter 1 of different paths and challenges along the way.
