you can do that? isn't that game over, I didn't try that
At the end of the last episode you can stay home or try to look for her so she doesn't jump off the bridge, it remains to be seen what happens if you don't go look for her, will she really die or will someone else help her?

I won't lie having this many variations is personally scaring me lol. Especially if dev's working alone on this. If there were multiple devs on this. Each one would take paths and it might be manageable. However the more the story unfolds the more the paths, will dev be able to manage it or will he cut it shor, that's the question lol.

If you don't go yourself to save her, her roommate will probably do it. I can't see the dev managing one version where she's alive and another where she's dead

I can name 2 games at the top of my head where a main love interest dies if you don't save them... one of which is in my signature. These outcomes do exist in AVNs, and it usually makes for a more powerful story where choices actually feel like they matter a lot.

Sure but in the game in your signature it was near the end. Here it's quite early. Furthermore in that game the choice was presented to you with its consequences visible, while here you don't know she will attempt suicide if you don't go see her.

It's still a possibility but I don't think that's what will happen.

Unfortunately, there are rules here that prevent us from mentioning other games in this thread, but I can assure you that I can counter your argument with the 2nd game I remembered. Check your PM for more details.

Depends on how important she's going to be to the story going forward.

If she's mostly going to be relegated to a side love interest with her own storyline but which isn't crucial to the overall plot, it wouldn't be that difficult to allow her to die. It would mean people who fail to save her would miss out on any future scenes with her in them (and thus potentially risk getting a new update that is mostly content they can't see), but that's on them.

I could easily see a dev handling that particular juggling act if they wanted to. Whereas it would be much harder to do something similar with Marianne or Jessica/Rachel, because those seem key to the core story going forward. Or to put it another way, they're part of the MC's story, whereas Lisa is mainly just part of Lisa's story.

If anything, it almost makes more sense for her to die if you don't save her. Because otherwise you have to justify a relationship with her without having the huge moment of catharsis and revelation, which doesn't really work without a lot of fudging. It's much easier to just have a gateway moment, and from then on it's just a case of whether or not the MC is actively in her storyline or not.

Given that this game doesn't have a Harem tag and most LIs scenes are completely separated from each other, it's very possible to just have her die off as I've said already as it's exactly the same as just not having relations with them. A lot of times, if you choose to not have relations with someone, they'll just no longer appear in the game, so the amount of dev work is almost the same whether they die or not be a LI. I'm sure that already happens in this game with some of the side LIs with the only exception being the phone social media.

Sure the character can disappear of your game if you don't romance it, but I mean if she dies, no one will bat an eye? She's pretty popular in school in my understanding. I don't say it's not feasible, you can make a special scene in that path (funeral), and future references here and there. Is the dev ready to do that though? Wait and see

While I am curious too to see what Quad Q will do with that path, I think Lisa will live. I base my assumption on the fact that in the character stat screen Lisa is one of the characters with a direct link to Jane, to me that indicate that Lisa is a link to other lesser characters that would have a harder time being integrated in the story without her and that she might have a preeminent role to play weather you romance her or not. With her dead her shoes in the story would have to be filled by an other character.

A funeral scene would be a major scene to produce IMO. Could be done off screen, but would feel like our inactions would have less consequences. I feel like HAHT would demand a scene to show consequences. I'm just not sure if having Lisa die would be worth it. She would have three variation, Li, non Li and dead. With that interacting with the other characters at time I feel like it is starting to make a lot. I feel the event is more there to either open her route or close it, more so than the confession Lisa reject we can make earlier in the game.

Okay... was not expecting this game to make me cry with the end of Chapter 4 there. Gotta say that was a rather surprising and heart wrenching kick to the balls. Side note: Loving this game and am excited for Ch.5 :)

It's also possible for the dev to simply give us a Game Over ending for being a selfish dick for not saving someone as it was pretty obvious what was about to happen during that last choice option. A simple render of a funeral or something and some dialog saying how everyone now hates you for your selfish decision in not helping out in finding her, etc.
