That depends. If Bailey has emty beds anyway (and since it seems every orphan has a full room to themselves and the attic is outright abandoned and forgotten, I don't think they are pressed for space), it would make sense for Bailey to make use of that free space, allowing their orphans extended stay... for a price.
I don't think it's intended for the player character to be read as >=18 years old in the first place. I mean, officially, sure, but I thought the original story was that they were the equivalent of U.S. middle school (I know shit all about the UK education system!). But in general, I get your point about the circumstances not really holding too terribly well up to close inspection. It's not something I would like to investigate because it's really sad, but I have heard a number of times that orphanages in the Western world tend to be pipelines to prostitution, both child and adult. I'm not exactly sure how that works. Is it the institution itself and/or the people at them that are pushing them into it, or is it just a byproduct of orphans typically not having good adult role-models and close supervision that would keep them away from it in the first place? Or maybe not having any kind of strong safety net in the event of failing as an adult, which they're probably more likely to do given all the apparent disadvantages of being an orphan? I don't know, but DoL seems to play upon these kinds of thoughts. Given that there are legitimate legal issues at play here, I am okay with it being a bit fuzzy and not totally making sense, especially since I do like the vague-ish setting that allows you to walk the line between occupying both a child's and an adult's worlds. That blend of both is a big part of what makes DoL's setting so interesting to me.
That happens if you don't unzip the game. Did that by accident.
No, you are not thinking in business terms. Sure, 44k per head should be more than enough to cover the expenses of an orphanage and to provide a tidy bit of profit on top, particularly if the facilities are not kept up properly. Even given the graft, most of that 44k is going into the maintainance of the operation; after all, the place must be kept up in such a way that it can survive an inspection. What is Baily, then, if that is how the orphanage is conducted? Just a well paid, crooked state employee who make the lion's share of profit above the board.
The real business is keeping the orphans as labor at most until they have to leave, at which point Bailey makes you rent one of her places and makes sure you're basically a slave to her which makes up for the orphans not doing as much along with less trouble as you'll be an adult and thus have less legal protections or restrictions. Such as needing to go to school and devoting your time to work.
Vrel is still responding to posts on his blog site, and much more recently than anywhere else. My END button hates that site with a passion, btw.
It appears to currently be in that state where the devs keep thinking that they are almost done before they discover that the new pregnancy mechanic has completely broken some other game function that they had not anticipated, causing them to have to go back and completely fix that function. It's all part of the all-too typical development of the pregnancy mechanic.
That site is so loaded with Google trackers and bullshit that I can't even open the thing anymore.
Forcing young orphaned adults into slavery would be considerably less profitable than doing so with children would be. Without the state paying for the means of subsistence for the adult slaves, that cost would have to be deducted from that roughtly 104k per head that Bailey extracts from the orphans themselves by force. On top of that, the costs associated with maintaining an adult slave workforce is significantly greater than the cost of utilizing child labor, which means that ultimately adult slaves would realize a fraction of the profit that a proper orphan child would, assuming that each generates a similar amount of income.
Define "aggressor", is it like I can't rape other people? Or is it that I can't be the top of the relationship or someone who dominates in a consensual sex scene?
I can't speak to most of those questions as I have made the same observations and found no workarounds.
Ok, hope the authors will improve it in the future. Thanks for answering my questions anyway!
There isn't really that much blood involved IRL unless she has a condition or you just went in dry like an asshole, but it does put an end to the fun for the night.
Lel, welcome to The Pregnant Pause. We are currently in the second trimester.
