Well, I've got severe symptoms of Friends In Need Withdrawal Syndrome. I guess I'm going to start a new gameplay.

Yea, I sometimes replay the game too
It's so good I kind of wish I didn't find the game until it was finished
Because I am always wanting more

It's one of the best games not just on this site
But that i have ever played
especially when it comes to the writing

Neonghosts has done a good job of making the characters feel like real people
It's impossible not to fall in love with these sweethearts

I agree with most of this. Except for "wish I didn't find the game until it was finished". I'm not that addicted. When Neon said something about Gabby and Mason's path would be spread out over time(Which is as it should be. Not complaining.), I tempered myself.

Yeah, I sometimes get addicted to these games
Which makes the wait feel longer than it is

game is very fluid

That's actually a pretty good way to describe the branching. It's interesting but also makes replays sort of confusing.

I'm not sure I would say confusing; just not straightforward

I think we're too used to really simple binary writing in VNs where more than two paths for any given LI, or maybe even more than two paths period, can feel overwhelming, especially if you're OCD about knowing the consequences for any given choice. Some people really, really hate replaying a game, which is understandable considering the average game, but I think that's why a lot of players look at a game like this as a puzzle to be figured out in order to get the most scenes/LIs rather than a game where you can just go with the flow, pick what you feel like, and see what happens. I had the same adjustment, though my OCD still gets the best of me sometimes

 

[Joshy92]

I actually prefer games where you can't have everything in a single playthrough
If I wanted to see everything in one playthrough I would play kinetic games

But I absolutely love games like this that give us different options
And choices on how we interact with the girls

YESSSSS. You have no idea, dude. To the point where I'd open up hundreds of script files and look through them to map it all out. If I only knew how to make a damn walkthrough mod.

But dont you find it boring to start another playthrough just to get different girl since the story is same anyway ? I myself never play a game two times just to get another sex scene or another girl .I simply see scenes in gallary .There are rarely a handfull games that has siginificant change to make another playthrough worth the time.

If I get too bored, I just use the skip button

There are some visual novels I have played about ten time or more
And this will be another one of those
Plus, I prefer when these games have monogamy

It's never boring,and the story is always different the way you play it.
They are so many different actions,emotions and changes that you can play on the different paths.
For example,if you treat Viola roughly on the dark path,you will not meet her again later,
same with nicki.
Every action you do changes the relationships with everyone around you,
in the good way or the darkest and harshest way.

That's why you can really keep playing this game,
to discover so many other things,all the emotions,
expressions,other story lines..
if you just want sex scenes,there are so many other games,
this is really much more,classier and better than that !!

I meant it for other games .This game offers different feelings with diverging gameplay hence falls under those handful games.

I feel you man I have really bad OCD and have trouble just relaxing and picking what I feel like. Weed helps a little with that, though, for me anyways.

I forgot to mention that there's also a number of games out there where the consequences of any given choice don't always match the choice itself, which causes unpleasant surprises; and also a lot of games lock you onto a route with no way out of it. Neon is very trustworthy in this department, though, and does great enough on his setups and character introductions etc. that I haven't really been caught off guard with the outcomes of my MC's actions thus far; it's how I expected things to turn out when I chose that action. And if I get a little concerned about a choice I made earlier or something, Neon gives us usually at least one opportunity to ease up on a route, to try and shift gears to another one, etc.

This game really does stand out in so many ways. It's the only VN I've ever played where I genuinely get giddy like my old horny 16 year old self at the thought of replaying it to try out other choices. If I made walkthrough mods, this would be one where I'd actually have fun with it.

It was meant as a scene replay for already seen scenes so the rest are locked.
Though I already had several questions how to unlock it so I'll probably just post a separate file or instructions with the gallery sometime.

 

[Joshy92]

I have to be honest I completely forgot about Madison
Until someone started talking about her recently

I'm disgusted with myself
I'm supposed to be a gentleman
And a gentleman doesn't forget a beautiful lady

Even more evidence that Joshy has been replaced with a alien.
