Nicki's convo with Maya when the MC is listening in, is so varied and awesome. What she tells Maya on the love path breaks my heart. Sheesh. 
Underrated scene.

You do know that there are adult games that do have consequences for dating several girls right and will make you choose only one girl.

Big lightning-round response time. I'm still sick as a dog, so forgive me for not being more thorough.
And sadly most TBIs cause chronic issues that don't fully resolve with time, so a hospital wouldn't do him much good at this point.
As for a bodyguard.. I mean, simple in some ways to add, yes. But that's an extra character in a lot of scenes. More time posing, more time rendering, less drama.. It'd be like giving Bruce Willis a SWAT team as back-up in Die Hard. The fun is in watching him solve the problem, not having someone else do it for him. Just my philosophy on it!
That said, if I keep drilling on the idea that MC isn't invulnerable, and isn't a great fighter, I'm probably doing it to make a point.
Ultimately though, it just added an extra layer of work for very little pay-off. In the future I'll try to have some fem-Mason scenes with short hair, though.
As for the photos, I'm a little surprised nobody's guessed it right yet.. <_<
Gabby's relationship is going to have a few more opportunities to change.. Still figuring out how it'll work exactly, but I'd like to give the player an opportunity to kind of go a dark-love route with her, where MC is spoiling her with things more than attention and love. Maybe a friends --> sugarbaby path..
Hah! The Fin-Man play on words was a semi-intentional happy accident. I was sitting there like, "Okay, Alex likes horror movies.. What's some horror trivia she'd know that Nicki wouldn't? Oh, Gill-Man, the real name of the Creature from the Black Lagoon.. Can't use Gill-Man, though, so he'd be.. oh shit, Fin-Man, perfect!" Glad someone else made that connection.
Light spoilers, but I see Mason as pansexual. I talked about Mason a bit on my Discord, but I write him with a few things in mind:
- He's pan and perhaps not fully settled into his preferred gender expression yet. He's still young and exploring.
- As part of that exploration, Mason's experiencing a bit of a second puberty, not physiologically, but mentally. He's basically having the formative sexual experiences as a male, that he never got to as a youth. That makes him a bit more willing to experiment and try things.
- Mason's on the higher-functioning end of the autism spectrum, which can cause him to misread social cues. Hence trying to give MC a BJ after a misunderstanding. He also tends to 'mask' and slip into different personas that allow him to more easily navigate society and relationships, which is why he can slide into his girl personality so easily.
- His traumatic brain injury left him with lowered impulse control and memory problems, so he tends to have poor decision-making skills.
- All in all, he's kind of situated to be easy prey for a manipulator, which is why it's important MC helps him. Or why he can easily control him and twist him into what he wants him to be.
I try to keep things very consistent across paths, so if Mason's telling MC one thing on one path, and something else on another, he's probably fibbing. In this case, he's being a little guarded because he's not sure he can trust MC with all of his history yet. Last thing Mason needs is to have his deadname and family history pulled up and waved in front of him by a rich guy who's bent on treating him a bit poorly.
And sadly most TBIs cause chronic issues that don't fully resolve with time, so a hospital wouldn't do him much good at this point.
This has been addressed, but when I wrote this whole thing I kind of set out to show MC isn't perfect, and doesn't win all the time - even when he tries to do the right thing. He's a clever guy who's in good shape. His strengths lie in being canny and creative, not in being a great fighter. That said, he did exactly what you need to do if you're in a fight with someone holding a knife. He fought dirty and lived to see another day.

Hah! After the giant pain in the ass his suit jacket caused me, I'm reticent to put the dude in anymore jackets.. :'Dneonghost Guy needs a new wardrobe, the white t-shirt hurts. Give him a leather jacket or something.
At least leather gives you +1 against butter knives
Actually, people who played the early Sneak Peek version of the chapter know that was originally an option.
Ultimately though, it just added an extra layer of work for very little pay-off. In the future I'll try to have some fem-Mason scenes with short hair, though.Chapter 5 will be a big chapter for Gabby. The way that the next installment will have content for all of Ashe's routes, Chapter 5 will be the same for Gabby.
I'm glad so many people took a liking to the Mason scene. It was kind of a big swing, but it seems to have landed for more people than not. I'm generally a little reticent to link to my real-life inspirations, but as they're both sex workers actively advertising their platforms, I think it's okay. The two main ones were

I often joke that after FiN wraps up I'll do a Brittani management sim spin-off, and it seems like less and less of a joke as people continue to discover her.. :'D
Thanks for enjoying the game! In order to avoid any potentially unsettling content, I'd always advise people not to install the fan-made patch that adds taboo elements to the story.
You're reading my mind on a few of these..

Thanks for the kind words! Glad that people are picking up on some of the themes I'm trying to get across, re: healthcare, labor, human rights, etc.Finished playing the update.
Amazing job with Mason. Believe this is the first time i saw a transman character in a porngame on this forum. And in the fashion of this game it was really well done. Great work on doing what you want NeonGhosts no matter what some bigoted may cry about.
Hard to not feel for him after knowing some of his story. Bigoted dad kicked him out of home and when he finally seemed to get some happiness and stability he ends up victim of a hate crime that leaves him with some serious neurological after effect. And because there is no universal healthcare system and labor laws to protect people he ends up homeless, full of debt and having to give blowjobs in exchange for food and a place to sleep.
Another character i can't even touch the rapist option. Good Guy will help Mason too.
ps: wonder if kicking the thief who stole from Mason will bite Guy back later.
I liked the break up scene with Gabi. it was quite organic with the motivations. Think i will even make a save to keep it that way in the future.
Also Ashe scene was really hot and her friend Wren is a pretty too.
Man, thanks for that thoughtful analysis! Glad to see stuff resonate and provoke such a detailed response from people!
I fucked the link up, but it's back on the front page now. My bad!
I was really trying to sneak it up on people, with the eventual reveal she's super-stacked up top. :'D I also altered her model a tiny bit for next go-around, darkening her hair and eyebrows to more of a true black color, giving her more freckles, and elongating her eyelashes. Not a huge change, but you can see what the new and improved (IMO) version looks like

I think I am okay with him experimenting and experiencing things with MC but being on autism spectrum even if higher-functioning end is kind of morally dangerous for me.
His story borderline my redlines and I really like it. I hope he will have much more part in the future updates.

I've been wondering, once MC and his girls are properly settled with their relationships. Will there be an option to choose what clothing they wear or at least just pose with what MC wants them to wear? Like some sexy lingerie or cute frilly dress?
you ABSOLUTELY should. jamie should also be in that game just to add an extra level of f@cked-upness to it, or rather, keep it at the same level as FiN. but also, a few more scenes of her, or a similar looking girl in the main game for now couldn't hurt.

NeonGhosts :
Thank you for answering my little 'review'.
But I haven't installed any fan-made or other patches. Unfortunately some here don't want to accept my opinion about the rape scenes. However, a forum is just meant to make his opinion known, right? Why do they have to attack someone just because their opinion is different? In most VNs I only play the romance path anyway, because I really like it.
And in your game it is all well written and I like it very much!
I also like the Mason story path very much.
Get well soon and keep going on with this good work!

God damn if your artistic vision sees fit to somehow make a harem ending NeonGhosts I'll be over the moon. As it stands I'll still play this til the end because it's that good but being forced to pick and choose is gonna be the death of me. All the LIs are so sweet.

The thing is that it is fine that you feel that way about Mason but it also begs the question whether it is ethical to have sex with Brittani on the same grounds. After all, she is obviously suffering from some kind of personality disorder stemming from severe childhood sexual abuse. At a certain point, I'm sure moral or ethical arguments could be found to put big red Xs over all the love interests because even in the good Guy path there is always some kind of incapacity to refuse or at least a conflict of interest. These factors are not only important to the story but in the development of Guy's character.I think I am okay with him experimenting and experiencing things with MC but being on autism spectrum even if higher-functioning end is kind of morally dangerous for me.

Sooo, Mason is a girl, who thinks that he is a boy, firstly he liked girls, but now he is onto boys.
God!
Why can't he be trap (Danny from Taffy tales vibes), and in what universe his haircut is boyish haircut?
It's a great game, anyway. Another potentially great trap character has been denied

Let's all try to take a breath and agree to disagree. No need to be irate with one another.
Here's a character you'll get to meet soon.
Here's a character you'll get to meet soon.
She looks an awful lot like Risa, only it's not her. I'm gonna assume from what I have read of previous that this is our upcoming bodyguard.
My second guess is that she's the detective investigating the recent rape cases in town.
And my third guess is she's the lawyer for Mr Barron's case.

Dude, stop creating attractive characters that we'll want to bang.
Just kidding. Well, she looks gorgeous. Hope we get to meet her soon. Good guy, uhm well, Guy has nothing to fear from her but pretty sure a Dark path Guy might be shaking in his boots a little.
