Well, I'm playing the two extremes: the "Eunuch" path and the "Harem" path.
The "Eunuch" path is for playing the pure story. It's interesting to know what the essential quests are, but so far, the result is always the same! What both paths have in common is that Nancy mentions on the ship, in conversation with Ed and Morty, that they're a team, and later Orion on the island thinks he has to trust the girls.
Code:
if harempath:
n "The best of teams, if you ask me..."
show gp 12
no "And we haven't even got the full crew on board yet."
show gp 11
n "Not yet! But... we will."
n "I think once we're all together, we're going to be even more... powerful."
show gp 12
...
else:
n "The best of teams!"
show gp 5
ed "Yep, can't deny that."
...
mc "(Shit, did that come from our ship's direction?)" with dis
mct "Are they being attacked?!"
show gp 19
mc "(Fuck... I can't turn back now. I need to trust the girls and finish the mission.)" with dis
mc "(I can't let them down.)"
Note on the Annie Restaurant Event:
This event clearly shows that we've long since passed the point of no return. Cheating will be severely punished by the dev! Not only is the ...path variable set to "False," but also the harempath variable. Otherwise, if there's a dare...
Code:
a "Do you think I don't see he's cute?"
if harempath:
a "You think I don't see all the other girls eyeing him...? You think I don't notice the glances? The way they look at him?"
a "DO YOU THINK I'M AN IDIOT, EULALIE?"

eul "I don't!"
if harempath:
show gh 117

a "I like them, Eulalie. A lot."
show gh 118
asc "BUT {w=0.2}{size=35}I {w=0.2}{size=45}DON'T {w=0.2}{size=55}LIKE {w=0.2}{size=70}YOU."
a "Do you see the difference, Eulalie?"
else:
show gh 118
a "Do you realize how incredibly rude it is to flirt with someone when their date is right there, Eulalie?"
show gh 126
eul "I-I do! I see it!"
show gh 118
a "If I ever catch you even LOOKING at him again... it'll be the last thing you ever do in your miserable life."
a "The. Fucking. LAST. One."
a "Am I being clear enough..."
asc "{size=67}...EULALIE?"
show gh 126
eul "Y-YES!"
eul "Crystal clear!"
eul "I'll never do it again, I swear! Not with him, and not with anyone else!"
show gh 117
a "Good."
a "Now get out of my sight."
And Nancy's warning is more than clear!
Code:
if harempath:
n "I'm a big girl, [mc]."
n "I can handle rejection."
n "I can handle... pain."
n "But you're the first love of these girls. Be kind to them."
mc "I want..."
n "As “unusual” as our lives are, we're all still human."
n "If you ever hurt Nova, Annie, Luna, or Alex... I'll be seriously mad at you, young man."
show gp 83
n "Oh, and if you EVER hurt Penny or Dalia..."with dis12
n "I'll straight-up murder you."
else:
n "I'm still not sure of how you convinced me that this could work, [mc]."
show gp 83
n "But if my daughters stop talking to me because of you..."with dis12
n "I'll straight-up murder you."
play sound planks
show gp 84
n "*Walking backwards* Just wanted to make that clear." with dis17
show gp 85
mc "*Chuckles* Got it."
if harempath:
mc "I love you all, Nancy. I swear."
else:
mc "I'll start working on it."
mc "I love you, Nancy."
show gp 84
n "Good."
if harempath:
n "We love you too."
else:
n "I love you too."
n "And that's all that matters."
Note on the "Harems" path:
I was surprised to discover that both Luna and Alex only have four hearts with me, whereas the other five already have five. Hmm?
Note on Calypso:
Fact 1: Calypso doesn't appear on the first overview page, but rather among the side girls!
Fact 2: There is no calypso_points variable, only a calypso_interest variable.
For me, it will be very interesting in EP 9 to see how the two paths will differ. That Orion will emerge is certain, but how. And Lorelei will probably have different versions, depending on score and relationship to Calypso.
The update will reveal that!
