VN Ren'Py Completed Exploring the Big Apple [Ep.7 Fixed] [Dimajio333]

[SpyderArachnid]

At the end of the cheating section, options such as divorce or forgiveness could have been added. I don't think it's right for it to end like this. There should have been revenge and divorce.

Yeah, the cheating ending was disappointing. "You caught her cheating! Oh no! Now you're alone. The end."

There was no closure. Nothing at all.

And it didn't make sense either afterwards due to inconsistencies.

After MC catches them, he sits on a bench and ponders everything. Then Emma calls? How? Her phone was left at home. She didn't have it on her. She didn't use Martin's phone, cause then it would have shown Martin calling. But it showed Emma was calling. So, you're telling me, the time MC left Martin's place and went and sat down on the bench, Emma was able to get dressed, rush home, and then call the MC? Yeah. Not buying that. It didn't make any sense that she was able to call him that quickly afterwards from her own phone that she left at home.

This just felt rushed. Like they just wanted to get it done with, regardless of bugs and inconsistencies, and move on to the next game.

Looking forward for devs new ventures

Without BBC game end

 

[Eye-switcher]

Very abrupt, very sudden, guess he couldn't be bothered anymore.

How to play cheating path?

How to play cheating path?

I can't remember the specific choice/combination you need to make, but if I recall, there's one place that is pretty much the gateway to the different paths being set. If you use the mod by Asahibito, it's really easy to find this and get on the path you want/check which path you're on.

 

[LonerPrime]

It's finished? Wow, did not see that coming. Sincerely thought the game would go on for a while yet. Thanks for your work dimajiio!

How to play cheating path?

from here you can follow the path

 

[Gonza31]

There are only two endings? I got the good and bad ending

The previous two games were great, but this one felt a bit empty

 

[Filipis]

Any pregnancy on the cheating or sharing paths?

Unfortunately, even though dimajio kinda confirmed it to me a while back in Patreon DMs, there is not even a mention of pregnancy (let alone preggo content) on ANY of the routes, which is uber disappointing.

The cheating path was the most shafted one. I know the update was rushed, and the dev was zooming to complete all 4 paths any way they could, but the NTR path drew the short end of the stick here.

This kind of resolution doesn't bode well for dimajio's next game, which is once again, focusing on his preferred NTR/NTS themes.

Yes, but you have to give Dev credit for the fact that cheating path was never his specialty.

I know his previous cheating paths weren't raved about, but I always liked them well enough.

Not to mention, the dimajio has explicitly confirmed, once again, his next project will feature NTR/NTS.

And "not being his specialty" doesn't excuse the poor job with the cheating path in EtBA. I know he got overwhelmed with the paths in EtBA, and that he won't ever have so many branches again, but it's safe to say that the staple of his games are sharing paths intertwined with cheating paths. This isn't his first cheating rodeo, yet he fumbled it here. I expected the MMF path to be the "weakest", but not the cheating path.

There are four paths, each with endings. I'm not sure what "good" and "bad" endings there are... ("Bad" is presumably the end of the cheating path, but "good" could be any of the others, really.)

 

[Justaphase]

A rushed end to what could have been an interesting story. Not exactly surprising though.

 

[Jokr_]

The game has ended before it even started huh tf??

 

[Filipis]

A rushed end to what could have been an interesting story. Not exactly surprising though.

The biggest disappointment is that Emma & Martin get the "bad" cheating path end, while Emma & Professor get a "good" cheating path end (where Patrick doesn't discover her infidelity).

That was certainly a wack choice from the dev, given that the game is centered around Emma, Patrick, and Martin.

 

[Dealbreaker]

One can sense it was discipline and commitment to his followers and his reputation which brought this game to the end it has now, and one has to give him credit for that! But of course that shows in the way it happened. Maybe he thought it cheap to just show a pregnant Emma in one picture at the end just to give us that, and maybe that's right.
I'm just glad he seems to be far into the new one already because it means there is no prolongued creative crisis. The whole paths-thing has gotton totally out of hand.
The NTS path gave me the impression that he focused on his main and essential idea, the psychological scenario he is after, stripped from everything non-essential, meaning the power-dynamics within the couple, and he got that across. And that's the aspect I'm here for. She got what she wanted. He makes it very clear, the cage is just the outward expresson for that. It shows what seems to be most important to his vision because he was forced to concentrate on that. And as such, it has consistency and coherence and is clearly distinct from swinging/sharing which I find refreshing compared to other games, which blurr this distinction, and that is the point I like the most in his games.

damn finished already
