VN Ren'Py Eruption Imminent [v0.6.1] [MorriganRae]

[Ciaran8023]

honestly I always had a gut feeling Delilah is somehow being blackmailed to do the blackmailing on Ashe but not sure how believable that is unless she has some dark secrets or something

Well, as you said, if she's being blackmailed then what on earth could she be blackmailed with? She isn't really someone who interacts with a lot of people and she seemingly don't really go out much besides school or work, so there can't possibly be that much actual stuff that she can be blackmailed with, which is mostly why I'm interested to see the answer to that.

If it turns out that Delulu is blackmailing her either of her own accord or aiding someone due to an obsession/affection, then Ashe truly only has one person in her life that can be trusted, which is a pretty sad existence and just another L for her to take.

On another note, what if Delilah recruited someone to help her with the blackmailing? We kind of already know that she isn't exactly the most stable person, and depending on how skewed her perception is, I can see that happening.

yeah I kind of thought the same if she recruited someone in the past or if she has been the one to be recruited.

Never thought about how many people Ashe has in her Life she can trust for me that is 3 people. Her mom , Fiona and Rachael ( I know you have your issues with her , I don't share them so I trust her)

Might also be some sort of fucked up "knight in shining armour" thing she's trying to do if she did recruit someone, which would also explain why Delilah blurted out that she knew that Ashe was a duplo - in a sort of display of 'hey, you can trust me, I can help you'. Given how Delilah seems to romanticize things and naivety, it certainly isn't impossible.

I'm simply looking at it from Ashe's point of view and how she's been portrayed, her mom can be trusted but Ashe doesn't come off as someone who's able to trust her mom enough to talk about the things she needs to talk about. Likewise, Rachel would also be very difficult to trust with anything more than superficial things given their history, even if the relationship is "mended", it takes years to rebuild trust enough for someone as anxiety-filled as Ashe to let someone close to her again.
That basically leaves Fiona, and even though Ashe and her doesn't seem to have had many deep conversations, the fact that she decided to confide in Fiona that she was a duplo, Fiona seems to be the only current character that Ashe would be able to trust unconditionally.

is there a compressed file for the new version?

ah I see yeah if you look at it from her point of view which is something that is hard for me to do. Tho I will say even tho she trust Fiona I don't think she trust her fully either but more than the rest for sure. Just because how she is keeping the blackmail and not telling her the truth about Delilah knowing her secret. Might be just me be but if Fiona was someone I completely trusted liked that I would of told her everything right away consequences be dammed.

Oh yeah, Ashe definitely doesn't trust Fiona with everything, just that she is the most trustworthy out of all the characters right now. Ashe likely also doesn't want to overly involved Fiona into something where she can get hurt most likely, probably partially because Fiona is her best friend but also because she is as said likely the only person Ashe can trust with more precious secrets.

OMG.

I think I made a wise decision to leave the thread until the chapter drops and being played by me. Finding out that the thread really exploded so after finishing I have to fight myself through an amazing amount of messages posted here. Some good critics an some not so good. Fortunately to see this thread not getting toxic. Everybody can have an opinion and can be discussed. There were some postings about the update being shit I ignore. Those people better go back to Disney channel.

I was even surprised that Scrappy made a mod for the game. For people interested look here and maybe something for the OP.

About chapter five. I played all three paths and I enjoyed red and blue most. Green had an amazing scene with Fiona, but for me a totally NOGO with the fact that Rachel made another $150 with shit cop. I never ever saw that one "cumming".

The blackmail matter became stronger. I put my money on Vanessa now being suspect number one for me. The small meeting with Delilah convinced me more. By the way, in office suit she looked amazing and I was thinking about 250 possible things I could do to her...... She is hot.

I am ending that I still love the game so far. But to be honest when I compare this game with HAHT that game favours just more.

At last, cliffhangers MUST be forbidden in any game from now on. They make the wait for the next chapter so much longer!!

Just curious what makes you think it might be Vanessa. She is honestly one of the few people I don't think I suspect or see any possible red flags for.

I think it is Vanessa because she is the only one who knows if Ashe will fuck in the window the blackmailer gave. I tried both options, lie and truth, and was nobody we could see in the scene watching.

But Morrigan can allways have a rabbit in the hat.

We see someone on a bike seemingly tailing them in the car back to Vanessa's. Their makeout session there happens outside and could be watched, as Ashe realises.

I will play that part again. And look if I missed something there. To be honest the blackmailing may for be be over and start railing Delilah.

 

[Dessolos]

Honestly I just can't wait for the Blackmail stuff to be over with. It almost ruined the Vanessa date for me and that is the character I looked forward to the most content wise in this update

 

[Envy*]

And that's when we learn that the blackmailer is a random character lol, total disappointment (or relief?). x)

 

[Hazardgaming]

I don't entirely get the setting. How come the MC doesn't just go to the police? I get that the plot has to be facilitated, but there needs to be some sort of believable explanation when the easiest and most convenient solution is to just tell someone what has happened.

kind of both I think for me. relief it's over and done with but disappointment in the reveal

While there is other cops out there I think Ashe doesn't want to take the chance that Natasha is the one that gets the case / looks into it.

If you mean the last scene, then I think it was a streamer girl.

 

[Stonehall]

This last update was great. I wasn't to sure about having to choose paths in the last one and am still a bit on the fence with that one. For me the green path was the best one wich surprised me since I usually hate a cucked MC. The other characters feel more alive if they have their own pursuits in life. Ashe still gets some D but not everyone is throwing themselves at her. To me, the green path feels like canon. Also, getting cucked by a girl doesn't really count in my book. The red path would probably feel like Ashe's power fantasy, were it not for the blackmail shenanigans. I guess she hasn't blossomed into Mistress Hawthorn just yet. The blue path felt a bit sad wich you could argue fits the colour, I guess. The blackmail is my least favorite part of Ashe's life. She'd probably say the same. Maybe that's a good thing. Beeing blackmailed and enjoying it just sounds f*cked up. But the good news, everybody, is that it seems to finally come to an end. In the next episode...

Ashe should use Natasha's infatuation with her to investigate the blackmail. Natasha doesn't seem like someone who likes getting cucked, so if Ashe played up the whole "I'm your property and someone else is trying to use me" I think Natasha would sqish the life out of the blackmailer.

Yeah I knew I had to finish before lurking too much in the thread since a few people are chucking major plotbombs without any warning. Oh well...

Interesting theory, I hadn't even considered her as Ms. X, but it makes sense given her incredibly cold, on-and-off again personality. Personally I would be fine with her being the main antagonist since I already thoroughly dislike her. Delilah I actually really really like so it'll be painful if its actually her. I hope not, since that will probably destroy her relationship with not only the MC but her sister as well. But it just makes too much sense given her femcel tendencies and that one very telling line from Fiona about her sister's anger issues getting more pronounced recently. But the fact this is being debated at all shows the high level of craft the dev has put into the writing instead of typical mindless COOMbait.
