That branch has been the worst so far in the entire game. No interesting events, no promise of future interesting events. More than that, it has always looked like that route is going nowhere.

I agree it hasn't been the best but is it worse than the Julia path in ep3 or the home path from that episode?

Well, I'm not a fan of Julia or lesbian stuff in general, but I understand that branch - there are many people here that love that kind of content. Julia's route is supposed to widen the game's audience. Even for Monica it makes sense - she is in the relationship with Julia to escape from the country and to live a rich life again.

With regard to the home path, it is understandable that some fans hate it since Monica definitely behaves like a different person there. But the patrons seem to love it. The content in term of quality and quantity is great. More than that, the branch kind of makes sense - Monica wants her house back.

But that route with Misty...There were few events, and, as far as I remember, none of them in Ep.4. And those that were in Ep.3 were mediocre at best. In addition, why Monica is wasting her to time for Misty in the first place? To get a cheap place to live. Ridiculous - she already had 3 places to live. And what's the ending of that branch? I mean, the point of photoshoots was for Monica to end up a pornstar. The office branch was all about getting her company back. I already mentioned about Julia's branch and the home one.

In my opinion, every route in the game must have some reason to exist. It must either move the plot further or show some interesting content that doesn't exist in other routes. For example, Shiny Hole branch exists to show us Monica dancing, sexy moves, all that stuff. The same can be said about the falling path - that's where Monica is supposed to fall deepest, to become a crack whore, or whatever. Even Bardie's route was about showing Monica having sex with, let's say, very young guys. Some love it. What was the point of the basement? BDSM. No other branch about it.

And I don't see why Misty's story exists. What's in that branch we haven't seen in other branches? Some new kinks? Is it essential for the story? So far, no. Nothing like that. Maybe in this update we will see something new, interesting, amazing. It is always a posibility. But I doubt that.

according to pic where Monica goes over kebab promotion, mb she`ll lost opportunity to live in slums?
Anyway with all routes open in same time, its hard to make sense to many things as Monica have 2-3 places to live.

Hey there! Just a couple of days left until you can enjoy the long-awaited release, but in the meantime, take a sneak peek at the spoilers for the upcoming update.

Oh. Is there another release imminent? Well, in that case I'll wait a moment with my Patreon membership. The few more days don't matter. It should be worth it after all

Trust me you are no less of a fan of lesbian content than me. I don't see how Julia's arc in ep3 widens the games audience. It was there in ep2 and was much better in that episode. I agree the Julia path makes sense. Never have said it doesn't.

With regard to the home path, it is understandable that some fans hate it since Monica definitely behaves like a different person there. But the patrons seem to love it. The content in term of quality and quantity is great. More than that, the branch kind of makes sense - Monica wants her house back.

Of coarse Monica wants her house back. No one has claimed that makes no sense. I like the Monica and Ralph stuff. The one poll about Fred's cock that had nothing really competing with it doesn't mean the patreons ( which I've been one for a while) all love it. If this games popularity was based on Monica becoming a mindless slut it would have died years ago. The home storyline problems are bigger than just Monica's out of character moments with Fred. Did you really enjoy the endless Betty and neighbour scenes early in ep3? To me they are far worse than the Misty scenes from the falling path. Misty at least hasn't taken us grocery shopping.

But that route with Misty...There were few events, and, as far as I remember, none of them in Ep.4. And those that were in Ep.3 were mediocre at best. In addition, why Monica is wasting her to time for Misty in the first place? To get a cheap place to live. Ridiculous - she already had 3 places to live. And what's the ending of that branch?

The Misty route makes as much sense as both the Julia path and the home path. Don't get me wrong I'm not claiming its great content. Why wouldn't Monica want to have an apartment in the slums that only costs $10. When she has to pay $100 or give a blowjob for a $10 discount or have sex for a $20 discount? Makes sense to me. At least it makes as much sense as working on the street for $20 when she can manage at the La Grande hotel for $100 without even fining the girls. There is a lot that can make no sense in the game if you just have Monica agree to everything.

Saying there has been nothing of Misty in ep 4 so we should not have any further content in that path is strange. We have yet to have an update of the Marcus path or the revenge path. Are you expecting those paths to be ignored like you seem to want the Misty path? I think we can both agree that we hope this path ends this update.

I know where you are coming from. That spoiler didn't wet my appetite either.

 

[Imperator117]

Prostitution route only makes sense if you do only that path and no other. When she has no other source of money it's believable and makes sense that she works on the streets, giving heads for 20 dollars to keep her apartment in the slums. But once she has any other options than selling herself on the streets, like working as an escort, it becomes meaningless and stupid.

for me "canon" path is to do lewd photoshoot and work in office.

Are you expecting those paths to be ignored like you seem to want the Misty path? I think we can both agree that we hope this path ends this update.

That's where I cannot agree with you at all. Both the paths you mentioned are essential for the game. The revenge path is needed for several reasons. First of all, without it the game will not be complete. It only makes sense for Monica to try to find how did it to her and pay them back. Second, many people here want Monica to win in the end. Third, it is unique compared to other branches and makes the final game a better experience.
The same can be said about Marcus' path. It is the closest thing people are going to get instead of the farm. This branch is unique (no such thing in any of the games here), interesting and exciting for many people. Actually, it is kind of a tragedy, that there were no new events in that route. Also this branch seems to be very important to the whole story. Probably in that path we are supposed to find out why that whole thing happened to Monica.

And what about Misty? It is boring and had few events. It is also nothing special. No unique or interesting events. It is essential for the story? Certainly it doesn't look like that. If you like female domination, there is always Victoria. If you like Monica fucking strangers - play the escort route or the falling path. Why it exists if it has no redeaming qualities at all?

Did you really enjoy the endless Betty and neighbour scenes early in ep3? To me they are far worse than the Misty scenes from the falling path. Misty at least hasn't taken us grocery shopping.

Those events are thankfully in the past. Their only purpose was to make the game longer. Decent Monkey back then didn't want to finish the game.

Trust me you are no less of a fan of lesbian content than me. I don't see how Julia's arc in ep3 widens the games audience. It was there in ep2 and was much better in that episode. I agree the Julia path makes sense. Never have said it doesn't.

What has become of Julia's path in Ep.3-4 is another question. Back in Ep2 it was all right and acceptable and certainly some people liked it. After some time Decent Monkey just ran out of ideas how to progress it without ending it and so he started to make up those strange events where Julia moves back to the house.

I noticed that as well. In the game, many routes run parallel. It would be better if you choose one specific one and thereby close the other one. The chosen route then leads to further suitable quests, where you also have to make a decision. According to his choice based on the given options each player would have its own, personal canon. That would come across and work much better in terms of gameplay, atmosphere and storytelling. It's a game where that really fits. It's actually a shame that the developer didn't do it that way

Also, some routes which shouldn't be forced to overlap are forced to overlap, in order for you to continue on one of those routes. An example would be the fact that, when you reach a certain point in the Shiny Hole, you have to have reached a certain point in the high class escort route, before you can continue with the Shiny Hole. These routes should be on different tracks, and not required to overlap, in my opinion.

I mean, I understand that, if you want to have some of the high class escorts perform at the Shiny Hole, the routes have to overlap, but I don't really think that content should have been attempted, since it forces the routes together.

But I'm not the developer.

In my opinion, shiny hole and escort go together. But your basic idea is correct.

For example, there is the prostitution route and the shiny hole route. These two should be mutually exclusive. Which would then make it clear that anyone who choose the street prostitution will be locked out from the shiny hole and the "more noble" escort. You could can still work as waitress, but you can never become the queen of the shiny hole. And so on. And where there are of course quests from which you are then locked out, there are quests that only open on the appropriate route. They all already exist. It's just that there's too much at once, which doesn't make any sense.

Another thing that still bothers me to this day is Victoria's blackmail. Actually, they force you to urgently earn money. First of all, a nice thing. But to this day there are no real consequences if you don't meet her conditions. This is actually a crime against this game itself, because this blackmail is the linchpin of the entire game! Well, personally I'm not keen on seeing the animal farm either. That can easily remain an empty threat. But I would have thought it would be appropriate if Victoria came up with a different punishment, preferably several.

In my opinion, this facts disturbs the atmosphere of the game. This makes it seem unfinished. That doesn't change the fact that it's still a good game
