Ok, the cult girl being kinda groomed was kinda fun, but overall a filler chapter. New characters introduced, another scene with Becki's mom (literally the same there was last chapter), some cheerleader girl no one cares about, etc. I think it should be fairy close to the end of storyline (judging by B length), but it feels like a start of another arc.

there hasn't always been an official android version, and when asked about it and i started making an unofficial port, i don't stop just because an official one comes out and mine might have features yours can't offer. (shrugs back)
Actually, there HAS always been an official Android version - it just hasn't always made it here promptly.

No worries, however.

I think VN tag would be fitting for this game, it would be more benefit from each side.

- More precise target audience
- Other member get what they expected

Even if there are developing roadmap that could change whole game. Much apologize, if I am impolite.
This was originally developed as a Kinetic Novel, which is why it was tagged that way. In Chapter 9, I introduced exactly one choice, largely because I couldn't decide which story to tell.

"Visual Novel," however, has the connotation of "game" here, and this doesn't really qualify as "game" given the overall lack of choice. That's why it isn't tagged that way.

No game best in everything.

But this game Story and plot are the best , No Blabbing or stupid talk , you enjoy every dialogue and every character.

I finished "Fuck off" route , and started "Im in" route thinking that the game is completed and abounded and only few scenes left for me.

Im surprised that the game still active here.

- We'll get only Updates of the NTR route?
- The main story is actually cooperating with the cops ?

( I didn't want to read Changelog or infos to avoid spoiling )

No worries - no spoilers in the Changelog, nor, as people have found out over and over again, do I give people "here's what's going to happen" hints. (Other, of course, than the "teaser images" that I publish to my subscribers and patrons. And even those are usually ambiguous... LOL)

The original author for this was JohnCBB. He ended up leaving the game after the fourth chapter, which has left me continuing it. The "I'm in" route (a.k.a. the "A" route) is somewhat closer to what I think John had in mind when we started this, but, at the same time, I know it has diverged in some ways. The "Fuck you" route (a.k.a. the "B" route) was a result of me being undecided as to which way _I_ wanted to end the story. "Parker as Hero" or "Parker as... Other". So, I decided to tell both.

I finished off the "B" path earlier than the "A" path for two reasons. First, after I finished both halves of Chapter 12, the "b" path was what was "pulling me." Second, that story line was a little less involved, so I could push it to conclusion and feel like I'd "completed something." (I've been working on his project for more than 4 years - a sense of "completion" was good for my psyche. LOL)

Now, as you've observed, I'm back to extending the "A" path. I have the scenes all planned for the 14a chapter, and the basic plot established through the end of the project. There will definitely be at least one, and possibly two, chapters after 14a - until I actually write the dialog for 15a, I won't know for sure what a reasonable chapter break looks like.

So, that's about as much as I'm willing to say about "what's coming next." But the story isn't over by a long shot. :)
