I like this game but I have a question for the dev o somebody in the community help me Mason is a Trans girl but is girl o is a boy because in the game have pussy I have wrong game o I need pacht to play Trans content
Mason was born a girl, but identifies as male. AFAIK that's the only trans content. Trans is trans no matter which way round it is.

you CAN call Mason female pronouns, but that's part of dominance and degredation, which he seems to enjoy, but you can also call him Male pronouns if that isn't for you, or avoid his sex scenes completely if that kind of thing isn't for you.


I don't understand Mason, or maybe trans in general. The first time you have options with her you can just help or get a blowjob and call her a girl or boy. The BJ options feel bad either way. But then you get to the second time you can choose something and you play with her pussy which she clearly seems into. So is she confused about the whole identifying as a boy?
He gets off on being called a girl and degraded, or it seems that way.

He's not confused, just as some dudes like dressing as women, but have no desire to become one, or transition or anything like that, so does he, it's not that deep.

This update was great, lots of Manson content, it seems like in one scene I can wear a sexy outfit how do I get that?

The Brent chase was fun, but I was surprised that there is a variant where Nicky is present, how can I get him in the scene?

Interesting reunion with Guy's little sister, it seems that she is not the little girl that was seen in the flashbacks, it seems that she herself has been corrupted, it will be interesting how they will influence each other in their little adventures, I don't play the dark path but it will be interesting to see how she interacts with the bad guy.

no damn...not a remakeof this tooo....wtf i'm really pissed off no...so many ames victim of this remake curse (and many are only mere excuses to take time from finish the game for make more money).damn updates are so slow as itr is..and now , a remake?? it's to much...remake when game is finished FFS
It's not a full remake, it is a revamp of the first chapter, which absolutely does NOT fit the tone and character of the rest of the game. It makes perfect sense, and can only make the game better.

Mason's a survivor, he'll do whatever it takes to keep a roof over his head if he has to be a female to please guy, so be it

Reading some of the complaints about the size of the cast, I think they just aren't accustomed to this dev's vision compared to others. The LCD of this site is basically a VN with no actual, actual story, only really mediocre erotic content thrown together hentai-magic-dick-style to fill your time; and because of that, the character writing is usually unbearably shallow, probably even quite boring for the author to write, so much so that they have to print out new LIs constantly because that's the only real hook their 'story' has, or it's the only one they know how to use, or maybe want to use because it's the easiest path by far as opposed to the author dying from boredom and frustration trying to give underwritten characters something to do besides fuck. :LOL: Either that, or head into heavy trope territory without any interesting twist on it, but either way, it's not fun to play usually and probably not very fun to develop, and they're pretty forgettable. That's actually probably why a lot of those get abandoned, other than RL issues or the dev just not having the work ethic necessary for VN development.

This game's the complete opposite of that, I mean it's apples to oranges. It's bold compared to a typical VN because it has a heavy focus on story and character writing, a decent-sized cast (pre-planned, btw), each with multiple routes, and all of this without sacrificing writing quality. It's intentionally very complex, of course it's going to take much longer than those other VNs to get through story and character content. Forgetting who's who, what's going on, feeling like you haven't seen a LI for too long, well that's a side effect of the scale of this game and the reality of the input of time relative to the output of quality. When the game is finished, those issues, some of which I consider illusory tbh, will disappear. If you consider this kind of a VN a failure from the start, then there are tons of other games on this website for you in the meantime.

Because despite all the 'problems' with the dev's vision people keep complaining about, the game continues to chug along relatively smoothly with well-paced and properly fleshed out stories and characters that are actually fun and interesting to discuss. No major setbacks thus far to panic over. There are delays.. but delays are literally the rule, not the exception, for any worthwhile endeavor. Just sit back and relax and watch and wait, let the dev cook. If the game crashes and burns like all the rest, then fine you get to watch us all eat crow or w/e. But in the meantime, I don't get why people can't just appreciate something unique and different on this site for what it is and hopefully watch it pass the finish line, instead of bombing it with negative predictions.

So... going through the early chapters again there appears to be quite a bit of foreshadowing going on.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Also, anyone else have an opinion on the theory
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Taking the time to read and process this novel just reaffirms why it's so great. Also, now I'm on edge and try to see a meaning in every turn of phrase. Kudos Neon, great storywriting!
Haven't played the update yet, but yeah I think the consensus is that Pepper, Sapphire, & Cherry are triplets. If Sapphire is actually Saffron (YoSaphBridge flashbacks.. hehe :p), makes me wonder what Cherry's name is.. gotta be a spice.. Cinnamon? Ginger? Cayenne? Ok, probably not that last one :p

I am going to bring up one thing about Nikki that very few seem to bring up. She didn't ditch Guy. Guy ditched her. He got his money and pulled a Houdini. I think that this is going to be touched on more in the rewrite of CH1 but she did try to reach out to Guy after he left the store and he felt like he needed to keep her at a distance to keep her uniformed of his wealth. This drove a wedge into their friendship. Her keeping close to Guy was not an option, mostly due to how he acted. Not too many consider that in light of what happens after Guy helps her and she pulls a vanishing act of her own, because it is much easier to focus on how she bailed.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I believe that Nikki not only succumbed to pressure from Brent but that the way Guy was acting toward her in the months that he was hiding his wealth had a role to play as well. She wanted her friend back more than she wanted the money, I think. She has a people-pleasing personality and she wanted to find a way to make everyone happy. This is the road to hell for most people pleasers. You can't make everybody happy, especially two guys who are playing tug of war with you. You have to choose, and not choosing Nikki was faced with progressively worse choices.
Interesting dude, I didn't consider that actually. I know chp 1 in its current form does leave things quite fuzzy and unclear, which I'm sure the remake will fix, but I think your version could be more along Neon's intentions probably. If I'm thinking what it might be like from her perspective, especially if she does really have a thing for him (which I think we're pretty sure about at this point), it must make her wonder.. 'we're great friends, yet when he strikes it rich, he doesn't even tell me?' It must make her wonder if he feels as close to her as she does to him.

Of course, who knows.. maybe Nikki really does just want to be friends with MC, but she's convinced herself otherwise, or maybe Guy has (that doesn't rule out a romance route, btw; she can grow to actually love him in the story). People can throw around 'gold digger' all they want, and the bad ones are really out there, but it's just true that women can't help but see a financially well-off guy as partner material just like us guys can't help but see a sexy, curvy, 20-something that way; we can convince ourselves it's love or compatibility when in reality, it's safe, or it's infatuation, or it's self-flattering, or it's just rare and we're afraid we won't get another opportunity to have it again; or hell, all of the above. Well, that's the way I see it anyways.

The only thing i did not like was that you made me choose who's story to pursue. Like, I want to invest more in Carolina and Maya, but then I have to give up time with Bethany :)P) and finding out about Madison's past, and completely miss the new side character at the park.

Also, seems MC going for a good/neutral run gets less sex scenes.
I want to fuck the girls, but don't want to be an irredeemable asshole about it.
For example, I always maximize Mason time and fuck her, but misgender her, but cuddle and be super sweet to her. Am I an asshole for misgendering? Sure, am I a rapist psychopath? No.

Also Gabby looks unfairly fucking hot/cute in those lacy purple stockings. <3, Same for Madison in her lingerie, just had to walk in on her for that scene, which she didn't seem to mind...

But yeah, I hope there is a mod eventually where we can get all the different optional scenes in one run instead of being forced to make a choice. Seen it in other games and quite loved it.
Yeah, FOMO sucks. But on the romance route vs the others, I like that this game is trying to take a more believable and patient approach to romance. Think of it this way: for corruption/dark routers, they are obviously more instant-gratification in desires, and so that's what they get. If you're looking to actually feel that the MC is in a developing relationship, that's going to take some time, more than the other two, but.. in return, you'll get way more scenes later on! I know it sucks waiting, but it makes sense and will come eventually. :D

Oh, and also, should consider that for some of the LIs, you might not be doing/saying quite the right things to put you on a romance path faster. Neon's confirmed at this point that friend-routers can eventually get on a romance path, but they will miss out on earlier scenes.. though they may themselves be rewarded with extra scenes, I don't know. You might be on a friend route without realizing it. I know that to get on Ashe's romance route from the start, you have to do some things that feel very creepy, but evidently Ashe is into it. Gabby is in similar boat, I think. Not sure about the others.

No animation's in 2k24??? Realy??? 0_0
not every game needs animation the year makes no difference. If you need animations to fap there is pornhub. Besides animations make up the smallest % of the overall game in other AVN's it makes no difference if there are animations or not. It's the context and hot stills that can make a situation hot and fappable. Hell most stills are hotter than animations imo.

I understand what you're saying, and I agree that FiN is much higher quality than the average game on this site. For me it's the best one I've played, but that's easily debatable (especially since I've played far from all of them).

Now, in my opinion the problem is just that. If you want to write a good choral story, you have to weave a lot of plots together. That's complex, and it's very easy to get loose ends that unravel the whole thing. To avoid that, you have to be very careful. And that burns, and it takes time and planning. This is being developed by one person, not a team. And obviously development is becoming more and more complex. I'm not saying that will happen, but my fear is that the developer will end up burned out. This is a hobby, not a job, and it's easy to quit if you get to the point where the knots are too complex. Quit, or just ignore the loose ends or look for shortcuts.

If NeonGhosts manages to pull this off and see the story through to the end, great. Thumbs up. But we have to be aware that a great story doesn't need to be choral. Bergman's Persona is an excellent story told with just 4 or 5 characters. And we also have to be aware that the development of this game is going to be more complex, and exponentially so. What costs you 5 today, will cost you 25 tomorrow. And the day after, 625. The developer has already announced that it will make shorter chapters, which is a good idea. But I'll bet you anything that those shorter chapters will take the same time as this one sooner rather than later.

This isn't being a doomsayer, it's just saying my honest opinion. Which isn't very important now. The number of characters is already there, and it can hardly be reduced without it being a botched job. So the only thing left is to continue enjoying this great story while it lasts. Hopefully until the end.

Goddamn I'm just impressed at how *funny* this episode was. the "on a horse" line, wearing the "lewd" shirt to the police station, the "raging hard-on in the worst possible place to get one." They actually made me laugh out loud. Extra impressive because I think it's really hard to be funny over text.

Anyway, yeah this chapter's a real tour de force for a game that's already super impressive.
