It’s pretty easy to get through without a guide, minus a couple of specific circumstances.How essential is the walkthrough? Can I play blindly or it's one of those games that's almost impossible without it?

You can break up with BF in the first act. I don't think its that long into the game. Doesn't stop you from "slutting" around till then though. In fact you can pick options to show your disinterest for BF from first choice.Eh, good enough. Thanks.
..well, you start with a nice BF, so it's kinda off-putting to need to break up with him ASAP for me to enjoy slutting about. I'll deal.
..and apparently it's tricky to tell Jack that you want nothing to do with him.
..and on a second try, where I don't chat to them and don't say that he looks hot, I'm still forced to go to his gym. Yeah, pass.
Lust Campus & College Craze come close to scope and are personalised 2d drawings, but they are just started so its just promise as of now.Project Miriam also has a ton of choices and a bit of variation, but while I like that game, it doesn't really come close to GGGB.
If anyone can recommend a non-abandoned game that's close, recommendations would be appreciated.
I just finished New Coral City and while it has the abandoned label, apparently dev still working on it plus the game is MASSIVE in its current state so I'd check it out - many complex branching paths, slightly more linear than GGGB (tho lets be honest GGGB is like 5 fairly similar paths then the tyrone which is out there then the drug gang which is WAY out there), but NCC has similar high impact-decisionmaking early on - just don't piss off Yoshi too much!!GGGB really embraces the tradition often found in japanese VNs of having a moderate amount of choices (GGGB is actually on the upper end of the spectrum) and, depending on what the player picks, steering the story in very different directions.
EvaKiss even improved on this, in japanese games you often have either a ton of choices which are essentially meaningless or a point at which the story branches off into a seperate plotline, after which there are few, sometimes no, more choices and little to no connection to the other storylines.
In this game, the "world", if limited, continues to follow it's own rules, and in a new playthrough with different choices you will go through many of the same plot beats, yet the outcome can still be drastically different.
When it comes to this, I have come to the conclusion that GGGB is really one of a kind on this site when it comes to western games (I haven't tried Red String as I want to wait until it is finished or at least closing in on that).

As for GGGB, the only thing that I really had to come to terms with was the art style. In time, I came to appreciate it for what it is, but I think I still prefer the a little more life-like Daz renders. Several people I tried to recommend GGGB to refused to play it just because of how it looked, which is a bummer, as it's in my opinion one of, if not the best completed game on the site.
Their loss, I guess - still a shame.
It's exactly this that makes Japanese VNs unique. It feels like an adventure when my choice(s) lead me to different storylines.or a point at which the story branches off into a seperate plotline, after which there are few, sometimes no, more choices and little to no connection to the other storylines.
Thanks. Took me a while to find, you have a ton of posts in this thread.Lust Campus & College Craze come close to scope and are personalised 2d drawings, but they are just started so its just promise as of now.
Shattered is the only game so far I feel which respects the choices and leads to various paths like GGGB but there are straight, gay, sissy and fem/male dom paths & MC starts out as bisexual so might not be to everyone. Its almost done.
I posted a list of good (my pref) Fem MC games in this thread if you are interested.
Yeah, I tried New Coral City, the first part when the second had just come out.I just finished New Coral City and while it has the abandoned label, apparently dev still working on it plus the game is MASSIVE in its current state so I'd check it out - many complex branching paths, slightly more linear than GGGB (tho lets be honest GGGB is like 5 fairly similar paths then the tyrone which is out there then the drug gang which is WAY out there), but NCC has similar high impact-decisionmaking early on - just don't piss off Yoshi too much!!
Yeah, agreed, in some games this is used to great effect. It's a completely different experience, though. I have played a fair share of japanese VNs, I even tried to overcome my dislike of "pure" manga graphics, with the huge eyes and strange expressions and whatever.It's exactly this that makes Japanese VNs unique.

Certainly quite subjective tho do note in the guy who was originally asking - his post he said something about preferring more life-like Daz stuff.The art is also lovely.
Yeah, i've noticed, but they also mention they are able to play games with anime style graphics, so i figure it's up to them whether they want to give this one a try or not.Certainly quite subjective tho do note in the guy who was originally asking - his post he said something about preferring more life-like Daz stuff.

IIRC on the drug dealer path Ashley can get shot if through her choices she winds up without friend(s) who could save her.Is there a path where the MC Ashley ended up being dead? I see a mention of it in walkthrough but didn't get it
I see, sad that this game doesn't have interracial impregnation option for MC.IIRC on the drug dealer path Ashley can get shot if through her choices she winds up without friend(s) who could save her.
I gave it a go, but after the BF's sister decided to go with the walking danger signs I closed it. I felt physically disgusted and did not want to know anything further.....
Don't give up on the game. Seriously its good and the choices matter meaning there a re alot of paths and romantic combinations available.
Just for this playthrough you mentionedI gave it a go, but after the BF's sister decided to go with the walking danger signs I closed it. I felt physically disgusted and did not want to know anything further.
Bad enough that we, as the player, can't tell that red flag to fuck off from the get-go. But, no, we have to see a young girl be enamored with the red flag and the redder flag, and that she wants to go with them to be, at best, treated like a disposable warm fleshlight to be tossed away after use.
Your character is just a little white bitch, she can squawk all she wants but no one is going to take that seriously. And no, you don't "have to see it". No one is forcing you to attend the party with "the red flags" as you put it. Or to invite anyone to come with you.Bad enough that we, as the player, can't tell that red flag to fuck off from the get-go.
As other told you, you found yourself is those situations only because of YOUR choicesn not becaus the dev want you to see it. They is SO multiple paths that it is hard to hear you saying what you say.I gave it a go, but after the BF's sister decided to go with the walking danger signs I closed it. I felt physically disgusted and did not want to know anything further.

This sounds weird lmao. What do you mean by this?Sis corruption can be avoided if you
1)Don't become her friend but just remain acquaintance
Depending on their interactions Ashley can become sort of a role model for Iris, or just a casual acquaintance. It's the former state that influences Iris to seek more sex experience and such, with some prodding/encouragement from the MC. Effectively it's a "corruption route" (one of a few Iris can end up with, for that matter. Dropping her in her father's clutches is another)This sounds weird lmao. What do you mean by this?
