Well that was slightly disturbing. I just got to the prologue. And am asked about creating my name and what not.
So I create a new last name and I am asked if I want the computer to refer to my name or whatever.
I clicked yes because I assumed it had something to do with a computer as in part of the game.
And suddenly I am shown the next screen where my first name would then be my actual real name.
I'm not really sure how I should feel about that.
Yes, the dev has already confirmed they are both omniscient and omnipotent, that's why your name appears pre-filled in.

For some reason I can't get this game to open. I've extracted it from the compressed file. I use 7-zip. I go in and click on the game application. Nothing happens. Is there some step I'm skipping here? Happenstance_Update_1.75-pc is the correct file, right? I'm not supposed to have a different one and then apply this update to that base file?

Tried this awhile ago and the QTE and object clicking turned me off, decided to give it a go again and fuck I am glad that I did, definitely one of my new favorite games now. But i gotta ask can we bang them all or atleast Elise and Alex without a game over or bad ending?

I gotta confess, I tried this one or two times some time back and always stopped after some minutes. The beginning was somewhat turning me away.
And whenever I saw this game with an update popping up here I thought to myself"what the fuck is it with the 4 - 5 stars?", so I gave it another try and got to say I was an idiot.
I played it til the end of the actual content in 2 days and it became one of my top 10 here.

Very good story, pretty girls with character and well written too. What more can I ask for, right? :)

Why do some of the QTE happen even when I have the option toggled off?

Damn it was fun to play. Though I really don't like idea of how we use reprocessing power. I don't see Harem tag so will we have option to break up current gf for others? I don't think it would be wise considering what Alice told us.

There's no harem tag, it's true, but there is a cheating tag. You can fool around with other girls (at least, at this point) and increase their lust towards you. IDK what the ultimate ramifications for doing so are, though. I have one set of saves where the MC is faithful to Elly and another set where he fools around whenever he can, so eventually I'll see what happens.

While I think some of the girls would be OK with a harem-type situation — Alexa in particular and possibly Natalie — I'm pretty sure others would not. I would just assume a harem is never going to happen.

Alice is a hurricane who could easily have enough rage to actually kill you if she found out you were cheating on Elly. It would be especially true if your relationship with her ever ends up developing into something sexual and then you cheated on her.

Elly seems fragile, like discovering your cheating might break her mentally; I could see her maybe being OK with your fooling around with Alexa (it's porn, so a trope is that friends often share) or possibly Alice (she sees Alice like a sister almost at this point). I do not see her being OK with the MC also pursuing Natalie, Deidra (if that ever happens), Kim (the hooker you can save), or Trestina (if she reenters the scene at some point).

Yea I made my faithful save too, what I really don't like in this is that game attaches you to your GF whom you can't let go, you have to cheat if you like another person while doing so game also gives you more content with current gf to make you bound to her emotionally.

Also if something happens to Alice I'm pretty sure MC will also will lose his mind due to their bond. He only got really angry when Shadow mentioned Alice. So be my guess, lets see what will future bring to this story.

Okay, someone help me out here please. I admit I'm a computer idiot, let's just get that out of the way. I cannot get this game to open and run. I download it from the megasync link in OP, I extract from the zip with 7zip, I click on the Happenstance application file, and then nothing. A brief busy circle on my mouse and nothing comes of it.
Please help a guy out?

I hadn't really thought about that. Personally I find Elly adorable, so I'm happy there's a fair amount of content with her and that the focus has been on her. That said, though, I prefer more choice in games, so I definitely agree with your points.

I can see an argument for both perspectives. Obviously, there's always the "if you don't like it, don't play it" perspective. Of course, this isn't terribly understanding of someone who may love everything else about the game. Still, it's technically true: Players have to decide for themselves if an Elly they may dislike is enough reason to ditch the game, or if they just struggle through the game and deal with something they don't like. (This has been true for me for certain games I've played.)

Nevertheless, from the other side of things, if someone doesn't find Elly attractive, they shouldn't have to pursue her constantly when there are several other women to go after. Ideally, there would be some way to make a choice about Elly specifically.

I wonder if somehow she's integral to the plot. I don't think there's really a decent argument on grounds of love / attachment to her, because if the player chose a different girl, wouldn't the MC have an attachment to her instead (viz., he fights for the ones he loves)? And although Elly seems to be something like glue in the group — establishing a good relationship with everyone else (even Natalie) — I don't think there's really a good argument to be made that this requires the MC to be romantically tied to her, either. Just b/c the MC might not choose Elly as a romantic interest doesn't mean she couldn't still be part of the group as a platonic friend of the MC, does it?

Since I quite fancy Elly myself, I haven't really pondered these questions before. They are good ones, though, and should be considered, I suppose.
