This looks really interesting but after checking through the thread I have some questions specifically about the evil route. Not interested at *all* in the good guy route.

What are the consequences for being evil? I really dislike stories that punish you for being evil purely because of "muh realism" when irl that shit rarely ever matters.

Also, will the evil path end with harem?

So I followed the walkthrough and added the taboo content patch but the option to do it still doesnt appear. Anyone know what might be the issue?

Lightning round-response to comments I've seen:

"Why is [X] broken?"

Because you're playing an alpha version. Should've waited two days and gotten the beta.

"Why so much Mason?"

Because I wanted to, and because it makes sense for the plot. You have the option to brush him off and go do something else, if you want to.

"Where are all the other girls?"

You mean Madison, Gabby, Nicki, Viola, Carolina, and Brittani? They're here, and all of them get pretty important plot developments. I'm adding a small Ashe scene to the Beta. Pepper, Alex, and Risa were all just in the last chapter. That's the entire main cast, appearing in the last two chapters. I mean, if you're unaware of Sapphire's identity, then Pepper kind of appears in this one, too.

"Why so many new characters?"

Because FiN doesn't take place entirely inside your apartment, sex-mansion, etc. You go out in the world, and tend to meet people there. Don't assume that, just because a girl has a name and headshot icon, means they're going to be overly important. It's just easier to figure out who's speaking when there's not four people with the name Unknown talking back and forth. The main cast are still the girls on the cover.

But, every girl also has a supporting cast, and their own plotlines which sometimes overlap. That tends to mean that yes, there are a lot of characters, and yes, some of them are even women. That doesn't mean they're love interests. Likewise, if you can have sex with someone, that doesn't mean they suddenly became an important character. It means I'm making a porn game, and am trying to work in as much sex as I can, without derailing the plot.

"Why's Friends Indeed even linked here? Why does he even use Patreon?"

I don't know why it's linked here. I've tried to remove it, and the mods put it back. I've tried to remove the "Vanilla Version" because it's not a "Vanilla Version" of FiN. The "Vanilla Version" of FiN already exists, and it's called not installing the patch. Seems like a lot of extra work for the uploaders, but whatever. I literally cannot control what happens in the original post.

Friends Indeed isn't just a version of Friends in Need that removes certain menu choices. It also makes significant changes to certain scenes/renders, softens language here and there, etc. Patrons of Friends Indeed can't get access to certain channels on my Discord. I don't link to Friends in Need from my Patreon. I do about as much as I reasonably can, to keep them entirely separate. As for why Friends Indeed, and my Patreon, exist -- because a lot of people subscribe there, so someone clearly wants it.

"What the fuck, nothing even happened, guess I'll come back in a year."

I get more done in six months than most devs do in a year, so I'll probably see you sooner.

Sorry?

No idea. And prob right now even the dev himself doesn't know as far as endings for certain paths yet. AVN dark paths usually have the MC's getting away with it like they usually do in real life. I'm not sure this will get an early bad ending just for simply choosing evil or if it will be like the rest. I guess try and see. If you like corruption, exploitation, rape, and generally things that would get you executed or a life sentence if you got caught doing them in real life it's ok enough in the meantime.

As I wrote a few posts above yours, you must open the patch with a text editor, edit it and turn "False" into "True".

Thank you for the clarification. Now that I know, I think I'm going to play both games and choose which I like best.

My update had many script errors especially during Mason dialogue, I’ve never done anything sexual with Mason, and after a bunch of script errors and ignoring 5 in a row, next thing I know mc is stripping Mason and there having sex? is he going to have this ugly black eye the entire game? :ROFLMAO: For a millionaire you would think he could afford concealer or pay some makeup artist to cover it up

I speak for the 96% that tend to prefer the stuff Patreon specifically bans (mainly incest but by no means the only disallowed kink), so I guess you are part if the 4% = good for you.
Bullshit.

As already noted, this is an alpha version which wasn't supposed to be leaked here now. Just wait for the public version.

Feel free to post an image of your error screen, so I can see what it is. Did you happen to play a demo version between chapters, and make a save with it? Because that’s the leading cause of game-breaking bugs with FiN.

I am considering doing a mason playthrough at some point, even though they are near the bottom of my list of Li's, the only one lower is Gabby, she is someone I will never do personally.

My question is if I treat Mason like a girl during sex, but like a boy out of sex, is that still considered the romance path, or exploitation path?
