[w123t4]

Kind of surprise to see ashe and carolina in the remake, I remembered they were not in the ch1 in the original version?
After seeing the remake of how nice nicki was before getting the tattoo, brent can go fuck himself, will never forgive his ass.

Here's an unofficial PDF walkthrough for those who might like one. Possibly contains errors; further updates unfortunately not guaranteed.

Two editions:
15th edition, covering the non-reworked game.
16th edition, covering the reworked Chapter 1 -- but only the "Friends Indeed" ("vanilla", non-patch) version of it, since that's all I've seen yet.

Please update since the subscribestar version was out, thank you.

Nicki's origin story is finally fixed

 

[Bombmaster]

Nicki asks about dating brent and Guy insecure ass tells her yes from a person she looked up.
Damn.

Damn you NeonGhosts for making me like Nicki now how can us treat her like shit feeling righteous.

what's the dark path in the remake? Do I need a patch?

 

[Eland51298]

Okay this remaster of the first chapter is awful, Neon made me actually like Nicki from the beginning and now I feel like a complete asshole when I do the awful things to her that I always do

Seriously the difference between the original chapter 1 and the remaster is huge, where in the original version I didn't even blink when I selected the Dark option I now have to force myself to do that

And how is a man supposed to play as a complete asshole now?

For the dark path, you need to download Chapter 1 Remake (Subsribestar Version) and apply the Taboo Content Patch.

I actually can't. Seen some of the scenes, don't care for them. I really don't enjoy those sort of situations. I much prefer the wholesome ones.

 

[Rezan]

What makes me sad is that this was one of my favorite games, and now with this restructuring, remake, it takes us two years to know how everything goes. The preview last update was little and nothing.

I loved the remake It was so good. I really like the new girl that owns that convenient store. . But man it made Nicki such a better character now I think she might have to go in a higher spot in my top 10 list now or on it I forget where I ranked her before. I can't wait for more Nicki now and now im back to being conflicted her old look with no tattoo's or her new look. Cause she looks so good in the rework don't know what version I like more anymore.

I especially loved how wholesome Nicki was and how she really feels like a friend. Also her showing up in that dress feels way better than previously. My favorite part is she never asked for money at least on the romantic path unsure about the others.

I hate to say it but if each chapter was reworked with better character deveolopment like this I actually wouldn't mind a full rework / remake of the game. ( i'm not asking for this just saying if it was done with the same quality I wouldn't mind)

My favorite renders of the update

I see that there are almost no fetishes on the dark path in the remake. I feel like soon this game will turn into a vanilla game like 99% of the crap on this site.

ah, airplane situation?

It's a really good rework, and I agree with pretty much everything you say. Even that deranged bit at the end about reworking the whole thing

I love Nicki to bits, sweet, fun, pretty and a friend.
I don't really have a top ten list of favourite LIs, but if I did, she would be at the top. Layla (from Intertwined) may be prettier, but Nicki is definitely smarter (poor choices notwithstanding) and funnier.

would have agreed with Layla being prettier before the rework, not so much now, Nicki is just fucking 10/10. And I really like Layla too.

 

[hitman2511]

The Nicki remake scene is tamer now and i miss the slapping and spitting.

And this is no more too.

She is, Layla just ticks a lot of my boxes. But it's close, going by looks only.
I think Layla is a great gf, where Nicki is a great gf who is also a great friend. If I can even make that distinction.
Anyway both are great characters and written well, but Nicki is way more interesting as a person. By far.
But I'm really eager for the next update for FiN now.

 

[Cutestarr65]

I think pacing wise the new chapter one is better, but the full dark path is wanted.
I also like how this version has the option to avoid sex with Nicki in the beginning, kinda like with Ashe. The dream scenario is a saint/blackmail/dark option for all the ladies and one guy.

I haven't played the remake yet, but that sounds like a shame. I really liked the hate-fuck scene at the beginning of the original version. It was almost perfect
