Fictional idiot could write a successful book on how to be a human anti-vagina spray 101, with a beta bitch attitude and lil pee-pee energy like his lol. Glad I'm not the only thinking this, cuz this shit is beyond ridiculous. It almost seems like the player's supposed to do a sexless playthrough in these two updates, for whatever reason, otherwise you'll end up hearing how 'crazy' some women are for being physically attracted to a random person on the street and wanting to have sex with them and how apparently morally wrong pussy is when women like Cassandra and Erika have needs too. Abdul, get the Kalashnikov and let's do some purification.:FacePalm::FacePalm:

Think I lost count how many times I facepalmed myself reading his idiotic yapping about morals and what's supposedly right and wrong in a porn game story like this one, of all places, and don't get me started on his constant whining about losing his precious childhood female friend. If the words cringe and beta idiot had a selfie in the dictionary, his face would insta pop up when looking it up... motherfucker's that badly-written.:cautious::FacePalm:

This is one of the few instances where I'm almost hoping a token Tyrone or Chad, even a rando ugly bastard, will randomly pop up to fuck the shit outta his women, make them fall in love with them and beat some sense into him... there's only so much cringe bullshit I can tolerate, smfh.

Getting intimate, my dick. More like getting blue-balled and annoyed real bad by a fictional idiot who still needs to find his missing pair of balls before going all wannabe casanova and moral crusader on all those perfect 9s and 10s in the story.
That scene where the chick apologizes under his (silent or verbal) judgment, for DARING to fuck him once, was so cringe that it made me wish that game had ntr so that weirdo gets cucked. That girl was almost prostrating herself in front of him for daring to do something they both consented to, it was insane. Yes, college kids fuck people they don't know well, big fuckin deal. It was such a sin that she was promptly deleted from the game lol.

It's the type of protag who has "cuck with zero game" written on his forehead, but plot armor protects him.

Please, dev, default your variables.
This variable only gets set if the MC/Player indulges her behavior at the store when looking for gifts, otherwise it doesn't exist and will error when used.

I can partly understand your frustration. Beth and other characters will continue to appear for plot purposes. However, at certain points, you'll be able to decide whether to permanently close a route or keep going. Right now, we believe that branching the game too soon will make it too complicated. That will happen once the routes are "ripe" enough to branch out.
While this is fair, I think it makes little sense to introduce the LI in such a way that makes them unlikeable. First impressions matter, even if you plan to have them redeem themselves in the future. Since the player is getting choices, they need a reason for wanting to interact with these characters. Preferably a better reason than "for the lewds". If players don't like these characters on some level, then encountering them will feel forced, and the MC's behavior toward them alien. If there's a large disconnect between how the MC acts and how players feel toward a character, they'll get frustrated.

An example: I'm playing the event with the woman stealing the MC's phone... Why did he go back and indulge her after she started playing the damsel in distress? Just keep walking, dude, you're already a good distance away and about to go around the corner. That I'm questioning this action, means I'll be questioning everything about this event, and will look at it in a bad light by default. First impressions matter.

That's debatable. We only see her having a few lines of dialogue talking to that actually crazy girl, Birdie (!!) or whatever, and the MC, that's it. Except for the fact that she's a celebrity, who apparently went MIA or something for so far unknown reasons, we don't know anything else about Beth. You're jumping to conclusions there just cuz you hear her call some other girl 'slut' or 'bitch', when said girl seemed to enjoy being talked to like that. Don't see why this would be an actual problem or a minus for her character, but that's my opinion. Just putting it out there.:D
Maybe just a little bit. I think you didn't see the dialogue I'm referring to because you didn't reject her in the alley, when you do, her dialogue changes, and that's when it doesn't make sense all that game she's orchestrating, and that's when you can see a little more of her true personality.

Another thing that wouldn't make sense is that she was his childhood friend and that she has changed so much, to the point that she is no longer recognizable, is pretty hard to believe, unless the MC is such an idiot, or she has gone through several cosmetic surgeries, to be a model, which would only make her an even worse character.

Anyway, I agree and I have already said before, that the main problem is the MC and its half-baked way of making choices. It's just lame.

There is not much information at the moment, only the few things that the dev has given us, my comment was that those few things I have seen of those characters were enough to make me dislike them. There are much better girls already in the game, so if she turns out to be the childhood friend, I hope the dev keeps what he said that at some point the MC will get over her, and she will be gone hopefully sooner rather than later. ;)
It is true that the MC is quite pathetic, but those are the pieces that the dev has given us to play with, so we have to try to make the game as enjoyable as possible, right?

Yeah, narratively, this game is all over the place.
The MC prides himself on being patient, then gets very impatient with Cassandra. I get it, he really wants that information, but he's not taking the same wait-and-see approach that he does in so many other (arguably more critical) situations.
This MC is written with the outcome of a scene/event in mind, instead of letting his personality inform how an event plays out.

Similarly with Cassandra, the player can make every choice that shows disinterest. This dweeb of an MC will still offer her a massage, and Cassandra will still try and take it further, because "I felt a certain chemistry, a certain comfort, talking to you." :rolleyes: This just shows how meaningless choices are. The story will make certain that whatever needs to happen, will happen, whether it's shoe-horned in or not.

And, don't get me started on the mystery-style of writing, as if coming from the school of JJ Abhrams and his mystery boxes.
This "unknown boy" is Austin. The MC knows him, we know him... Is he "unknown" because his face isn't shown in the render? It's nonsensical and gets frustrating after a while.
1739645884910.png
Another symptom of this writing is how the volleyball game is handled. We're not privy to the conversation between Ivy and the MC, and we don't see the game play out. From a critical perspective, what does the player learn here? How does the MC evolve? We're told he gave it his all, but we haven't seen it. It's just a way to introduce even more characters while faking them spending time together and creating a bond... The same way as how Austin suddenly got promoted to best bud.

For a game called "getting intimate", it sure has a protag who keeps acting like a virgin loser jerking off to "Sigma" content. When a woman is very obviously DTF, you don't spend a couple paragraphs whining and playing hard to get like a pussy. You just get on it.

I would understand it if he hasn't expressed ANY interest before, but I see it even with NPCs he has had scenes with already.

About her admittedly questionable, even off-putting (for some users) approach toward the MC... I'm also suspecting she's the childhood friend he keeps whining like a lil bitch about being separated from cuz life happened. It could explain her sudden weird interest in a boring, virgin idiot like him, OR, as it's usually the case, we gonna have to go back to the "it's all for the plot" argument to justify her behavior.

Be that as it may, I think it's too soon to judge Beth too harshly. She has a juicy big booty and big titties, and seems to only want to connect with someone who wants to know and appreciate her for who she really is a person, not a celebrity, with all her pluses and minuses all ppl have, so she fine in my book.

Looking forward to clapping those sweet cheeks of hers real good in a, hopefully, looong and very explicit sex scene.:sneaky:

What a weird way she has going about that, though. She saw a guy on the street with his phone out, stole the phone and ran off.
She didn't know what would happen afterward. Maybe the guy chased her and beat her into a pulp, or worse. Or, perhaps the guy wouldn't have chased her at all. And, how did she know the MC wouldn't recognize her after she revealed her face?
She came across as manipulative and crazy to... attract a guy who'd see her for who she really is?

Those renders are really nice, I love big tits and ass. I also would like to see a veiny and juicy big, black cock... But I am fine if it doesn't happen! Good luck

I hope that's not the case, I don't think the dev has built up so much suspense and anticipation for the childhood friend, for it to turn out to be either of those two characters. I disliked Beth from the beginning, besides, the MC acts in the most ridiculous way there. I choose to ignore the girl and not follow her game, but instead he keeps explaining himself and dragging the matter out, when he should grab his phone, go away and not argue with a crazy woman.
But it gets worse later, when you realize what a shitty personality that girl has. So, she's not only crazy, she's not even likable.
And the other unknown girl implies that she has an onlyfans page, and Beth treats her like a fool, (quite a girl of great value isn't she?) so I'm not interested at all either. So I really hope Beth, or that other girl is not the childhood friend, plus it wouldn't make much sense for the MC not to recognize her very dear friend no? :unsure:


Anyway, the problem is not really the girls and their personality, the problem is that if you don't like them for X or Y reason, it's pretty hard not to fall into their game and get out of it, I support the idea of blocking them as quickly as possible.:LOL:(y)
Wasn't the childhood friend revealed to be named Lilian/Lily?

I don't think Beth is the friend, unless she is using a stage name

I guess it’s my fault lol. It was the only rational explanation that I could think of after rejecting her in that alley and refusing to be horny about her nudes.

We never see the face of the childhood friend and Beth has unique eyes, so I figured.. name change and some hair dye?

But yeah, the probability of it being her are very low. There is however a risk of it being that “Birdie” character or someone that was part of their band or whatever it was.

I doubt it's her. I'm not certain how old Beth is, but she looks older than 23. While it wasn't specifically said, I'm assuming Lily is very close to the MC's age due to the way they met.
Also, from a character motivation POV it makes no sense for them to be the same person. Even less if Beth recognized him.
If he rejected her, then the game she's playing with the messages just comes across as manipulative and as desperate for attention.
If he didn't reject her, then there's no reason for her to keep the secret.
If she didn't recognize the MC and still acted the way she did, her name wouldn't change the fact that I'd want nothing to do with her.

On that topic... When Beth said she'd come over to the MC's place, he felt threatened. I was hoping for a choice that said: "I'll post all your pictures and phone number online if you don't leave me alone." Though, I knew immediately that the MC would just fold and wouldn't be smart (or willing) enough to turn the table on her.

What we know of Lily is that she was academically driven. It's possible she had her own tragedy and had to give up her dream and make some difficult choices... But I doubt it. If Lily and Birdie are the same person, then this game will be the white knight's wet dream.

Concerning Lily; there's also the timeline issue. She disappeared 5 years ago, which was before the MC's mother got sick. (He says he spent 4 years caring for her) That's the year he (and she?) turned 18. Changing a phone number could be the consequence of a sudden change in circumstances, but deleting social media is a very deliberate action. And, new phone number or not, she still ghosted him, which is also deliberate. Seeing how the MC can tell Daphne so little about Lily (Hell, he didn't even mention her last name until they saw her profile), I wouldn't be surprised if they got their dates mixed up. Lily arrived at university 5 years ago, didn't find the MC, and ghosted him for breaking his promise. As far as we know, they never even agreed which college or university they'd meet up at either.

I'm sure someone will make an accurate guess someday. This game is riddled with fake mysteries that serve as fake hooks in absence of a compelling story. Characters not calling their friends by name until you meet them, so players can go "Oh wow! Daphne is her friend!" or not showing people's faces. These are cheap tricks, and I'm already tired of them.

really great game: gorgeous models, good easy reading, nice plot though I think it can have a certain trap for developer - there should be a balance between solving the main mystery too soon or draging it out for too long. wish the best to the dev and hope to see the happy end to this story after nice journey of playthrough
