For Friends Indeed, no. It’ll still soft-wall stuff like the roleplay scenes with Ashe, that I think may be a bit borderline.

For Friends in Need it opens up a new path and set of scenes near the end.
just want to put it out there, I fucking loved this CH1 rework. It was really well done.

It's a good remake and it was necessary because old Ch1 was outdated compared to new chapters. Nikki is hotter and the relationship between her and Guy is now more fleshed out. The remake has new scenes with other characters now showing earlier in the story, alo it works like a bridge between poor ass Guy and rich fuck Guy that was absent in the OG.

I just finished giving the Chapter 1 remake a go. For what it is worth I really enjoyed it. I really like how Nicki looks in the remake now. The story parts with Guy's doubts and worries felt reasonable to me. It is a significant life changing event and I can get why he feels overwhelmed. It is also cool that there is more background establishment like meeting with his lawyer and the grocery store owner, etc. So yeah, I really liked the remake and I think Neon did a great job.

Sooo... is the remake gonna be that much softer overall? Even with the patch, it felt way sweeter than OG Ch1. Like damn, back in the day you could go real dark with Nikki on her first visit — now it’s all like “aww she cute :oops:” instead of “yo wtf did I just do :devilish:”.

If this is just a Nikki thing or early-game pacing, then cool — I get it. But if the whole game goes full marshmallow mode... that’d kinda suck. What I loved about the original was the freedom — you could go full villain or keep it chill. The edge made it special.

Please, dev, don’t turn this into “you’re a good boy OR a slightly grumpy good boy”. Let us be unhinged if we wanna, we’re grown.

That aside — gotta say, the redesigns is good. Lore additions for MC are solid too. Visually looks great, and I’m totally down to replay it. Just... please don’t nerf the dark routes. That was the soul of the game for me.

Think of Friends Indeed like "Miriam" without the "prometeus patch". Both are versions without the most contentious material (no rape, insults, spit etc in Friends Indeed and no bestiality, incest etc in Vanilla Miriam). Both "safe" versions are released to appease Patreon rules.

I like the remake still it's more fleshed out and ironed out still there has to be a patch that restores the original Taboo stuff but with better renders and story
