well the topic was sort of touched upon briefly with Nicki, and I'd totally be into it. Would be a nice conclusion to their story.

the fact that she never went to guy for help when he would of been the easy solution because she valued their friendship and didn't want to take advantage of him and choose to suffer for those 3 - 6 months she ghosted. Shows this also the fact she only asked for a place to stay for a few days at the most and felt guilty about how good Guy has been treating her ( light path). Hell she didn't even want to ask for the money in chapter 1 to begin with. Which is why it takes her so long to open up to the idea of a serious relationship as she doesn't think she deservers such happiness or love because of her guilt, just shows how great a character she is and wrote.

Yeah, Nicki is Li Hall of Fame material for sure. That's part of what makes the light path in this so easy, the others are nice and pretty but no one really comes close (for me anyway). And most of the others wouldn't be around if it weren't for the money.

Nicki for me is the best written path so far and my favorite story wise unsure if her or Risa is my favorite when it comes to the actual character. Followed by Ashe for me. While what you say about the money is true even to a small degree take Ashe and Risa for example even tho they aren't about the money. Risa just thinks Guy can help because of his money and Ashe probably would of never met guy if it wasn't for the money haha.
Unfortunate you and others feel that way, because I'd say the writing is the main selling point by a long shot. True, I found this game while searching for dark genres and I might not have discovered it otherwise, and I'm sure that's the case for a number of others. But I feel like a lot of people are projecting their own preferences and experiences with this game onto the larger audience, which might not be representative. But either way, the game's writing is what truly stands out in the end. Even other popular games that are recommended because of their writing, I don't find nearly as compelling as this one. That's quite a feat.
Nice
The amount of people saying she was a gold-digging weasel I don't understand lol the game's writing itself clearly points more in the other direction.Guy seemed quite meek and shy at the start of the game, and let's be real, there are way more guys that can identify with that than with a confident lady's man, and that makes a great MC. I wouldn't be surprised if the game leans even harder in that direction for the chp 1 remake; we might see Nicki showing interest in the MC that might seem obvious to the player, but MC might either avoid it or just simply be oblivious to it, because he has such a low opinion of himself. The story shift is that the money has only made it much easier to be his confident true self, which is why the moral choices work so well because it's open-ended on what his 'true self' was that he was shying away from. Just my take on the story.
I know their will be a corruption harem, but I wonder who the romance throuples and poly relationships, I have my ideal mini harem for romance side and I think it is somewhat possible, I just might have to leave one or two girls I want, out.

not really a harem game, you can fuck around if you want in the middle route where you don't commit to anyone, but that ain't a harem. There is so far one romance route with Nicki, if you cheat on her you can fuck that up... options are here for that but I'm not into that. Ashe could be a second romance route, but nothing committed so far. Then there is the dark route, that again ain't a harem.
Dev said corruption route will have full harem, and the romance routes will have throuples and poly(more then 2), I never said full harem, but mini harem.
I know this ain't a full harem, but you can probably get a few girls together on the romance route that are compatible based on devs comments from the past, I have my ideal of like 5 or 6 girls I want, I know I won't get all in one playthrough unfortunately , but probably some will work together. So I know not full harem, that is why I said mini harem which is a few girls.

When I first started playing this game people were bitching about Nicki all the time but lately I have noticed lots more people like her which is good.Unfortunate you and others feel that way, because I'd say the writing is the main selling point by a long shot.

She was the main reason I continued playing after chapter one tbh.
Anyway, I love reading your thoughts about this game Phil they are certainly more articulate than mine lol.

I did notice I was very harsh towards Nicki, when all she really did was stick with a shitty b.f.

I really liked Nicki from go. For me she never really had any competition.

To me she's the only one who I'm confident isn't just after the money. She didn't come back the second time and ask for more money, she had nothing and no one and asked for a place to stay for a few days. I think if MC had been living in a crappy apartment and working at the convenience store again, she still would have showed up at his door. Other than the trans kid (sorry blanking on name) MC probably would never have met the others.

Hey, hey friends! Hope you're all doing well this week!
I'm going to keep this brief, today. Chapter 10's alpha version is officially available. I've pushed out some early bug-fixes for issues that people reported, and I'm working on adding a couple little items for the beta (11/22) and public (11/30) releases. Just some stuff I wanted in there, that I wasn't able to finish before my deadline. A little extra art for two scenes, a couple script tweaks, and an bonus scene for Ashe, with the player texting her.
I realized we hadn't really seen Ashe in a few chapters, so why not fix that? And as I got to thinking about Ashe, I thought it might be fun to imagine a past where she worked at The Chesty Cheetah while attending college..
At present, I'm mostly focused on managing the current release. But, I'm turning my eye towards the future (or the past?), to the remake of Chapter 1, and some of the accompanying designs for our beloved (and not-so-beloved) characters. As part of the remake, we'll see an earlier introduction of Carolina, while Guy is moving into his swanky new penthouse.
But, I'm also sketching out the outline for Chapter 11. No big spoilers for my plans, but I can tell you we'll be seeing some of Gabby (well, a lot of Gabby..) as well as visiting Ashe at the museum. We might even bump into her crone of a boss. Won't that be fun?
I'm still planning to take December off (during which time I'll be pausing pledges). But, until then I'm going to focus on polishing up the Chapter 10 release, as well as getting some writing done for the Chapter 1 remake. And let's be honest, the workaholic in me probably won't allow me to sit on my duff all December. So, you folks will probably get a little Christmas gift from your buddy Neon.
I'll be here for the rest of the month, updating things as per usual with whatever I'm working on! So, don't tune me out just yet.
Until next time: take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!
