Is there any gallery mode to unlock all possibilities chapters?

Sigh.

There are exactly two choices in the entire project, so getting to all the content isn't exactly hard.

Apparently all you want is to watch the videos, without paying attention to any of the story. So, fire it up, press TAB to put it in fast-forward mode, and just let it play through. Create a save when you get the choice in Chapter 9, return to that, make the other choice and press TAB again.

And then move on to the next game you just want to fap to and use the same technique.

Jeez.

Above and beyond, Rich. Above and beyond.

You really should give a count for each time you've answered this.

Just to say that I really loved the 2024.06 update. It's only $2!

I thought you'd stall Becky another time, but it really was time now. The dynamic with Ashley and more so Jenna is really interesting on this path.

Melanie and Carl are really wholesome right now and I am not sure if it'll stay that way or if it is just a setup for them to fail even more spectacularly.

In the beginning of the story I was pretty sure where it'd all go, but at this point I am not sure if Rich is evil enough to not make this all a happy end too. We will see.

Thanks for the nice comments. Glad that you're enjoying the story.

There are elements of this path that have been planned since the start of the project. (This path is the original arc that JohnCBB and I planned. The other "happy ending for Parker and Becky" path was one that I couldn't resist including.) There are other elements of this path that have sort of "evolved" as the story went on. The Ashley dynamic is one of those, while the Jenna dynamic is one of the "planned" things.

I don't know about other writers, but I find that, to a certain extent, my characters have a life of there own, and sometimes they head in directions I hadn't planned. That's part of the fun of creating something like this, I guess.

That is absolutely the case for me. It's important that we allow characters to have agency over their lives. In doing so, they tell us their decisions which keeps the story alive for us as we tell it to others.

Glad to know that I'm not the only one who has their characters talking back to them. LOL

Not only do they talk back, they give direction.
Ever had that "Shit, I didn't see that coming from her." moment?

Yup. Although mine usually start going where I direct them, but nag me all the way until I rewrite.

Same. Things like, "You know, I'd sound a lot more put together if I said this, this and that, instead of blah, blah, blah.
And while you're doing that, she really enjoyed it a helluva lot more than you're saying she did."

So, I'm feeling mellow this evening, and since it's been over a month since the latest release hit SubscribeStar, I decided to update the OP with Mega links to that release. (Hopefully an Uploader will provide additional links.)

L.Lumpy is correct that I don't always do this, but I do appreciate all the positive vibes that you folks provide in this thread, so...
