Thanks for the reply! But what I ended up doing was actually following the Chemmy walkthrough (thankfully) and finding out I was missing a hell of a lot of content, I hadn't realized there was so much hidden in the game and it blows my mind the sheer volume of steps necessary to activate chains of events but it's incredibly worth it! I love this VN game and I'm intrigued to see where it goes. As of today I've reached all the V11 beta content and I'm curious about how this story will play out. As for my first online playthrough, I don't know how I advanced missing so much crucial Ann content and I think I accidentally triggered bugs when I was in transition from version 7-8. I'm glad I decided to download it and do it over from the beginning but I'm blown away by how lush the storytelling is.
One thing I'm very curious about is if anyone knows what Melinda was going to actually say to Daniel when they are on the couch and Will comes in.. she starts by saying something along the lines of "Have you even considered the sheer possibility..." and that's when Will enters... just wondering wth she was going to say to him. I'm also curious about whether the creator of this game is a man or a woman because some of the content and humor makes me think it's a lady... (there's a lot of events that suggest that in my opinion) either way it doesn't change the fact that I love the game. I also keep seeing mentions of the game Tangled Up and I'm wondering if it's also a worthwhile game to start. Also as a random query, because I had initially played the game completely wrong, I don't know the answer but I'm wondering where exactly in the game timeline is the actual very first time Melinda and Daniel have full out sex? Is it the laundry room scenes? Thanks for any info you can send back to me and for taking the time to reply, I seriously appreciate it!
I'm glad to read that you're one of the few who understood that if you don't see scenes, most likely nothing else has been done, much much earlier. As you rightly said, you have given little importance to past events that instead unlock many of the future events, without continuing to ask, "why the possibility of sunbathing has disappeared ...." It is certainly very difficult to help someone without knowing as he played from the beginning (and it doesn't help to know that "he followed the walkthrough" because it doesn't mean anything for sure), a game so long and full of facets like FOTM. In all versions the game has changed a lot. The first sex scenes with Melinda (complete) are those in the laundry room (it was the first temporally in previous versions, also because in the scene on the sofa after poker, nothing serious ever ended, even with Ann's help). The game, however, and I repeat, has varied a lot from how it was at the beginning, and you get to sex scenes with Melinda for example in the bathroom, perhaps even without ever having gone from the laundry scene, depending on how it was played before. "Tangled Up" ("Aunt Debby" has interrupted, but also that explained a lot of SNC game philosophy), makes it clear how the dynamics of the choices are and how he develops its plots.
