I can see what you mean, but I wouldn't even say he dumped her cause she decided for herself to leave and I can understand why the game always shows us how she likes him so much, it is to make us dislike him even more

This game caught my eye a while ago but I've been putting off playing it for a while, waiting for a reasonable amount of content to be developed before giving it a try because I don't think it's fair to judge anything that doesn't have enough content to get a real feel for to make an objective appraisal, be it a tv series, game or anything that is released periodically, and now I wish I hadn't started it.
The reason for this....one word.....WOW! There are games I get from this site that I play for various reasons. Some I play because they are a quick cheap thrill, some because they are good fun with a bit of naughtiness thrown in to spice them up, some because they tailor to kinks (within reason) that aren't as readily available elsewhere (I'm looking at you female protag corruption genre) and some because they have pretty good stories.
But this one.....there are very few of these games, in my experience, that get me invested as deeply in the characters, provide deep emotional rollercoasters while still being fun and making you laugh, are sexy without being in your face pornfests (not that that is always a bad thing), have great well thought out writing and hav a male protag that is actually genuinely likable (cos let's face it, most of the male protags in these games are horny idiots with oversized dicks who just want to fuck everything that moves) all in one package.
There are a lot of games on here that I like for various reasons, but I can count on one hand (maybe a finger or 2 more) the games I've played here that I consider to be truly epic in every sense....Acting Lessons, Being a DIK, Melody, Good Girl Gone Bad, Leap of Faith.....these are games that have truly blown my mind when playing them......and this has now joined their ranks.
The reason I wish I hadn't started it? Because, now, it's another one on that short list that more content can't come quick enough for and I'm desperate to see finished and that 'completed' tag can't come soon enough.....or be far enough away because I just wan't it to keep going.
Great job! Looking forward to a LOT more

Just to get it out of the way, well into the story is exactly when you can easily do diverging paths, as there wont be as much story to do until the end, and really it's about time we get some actual choices outside of which LI to pursue.
Killing Carter isn't the poorly written part, its how it was done that is the problem, many parts of that scene were poorly done,
-first MC's gun should have been out during the fight,
-second Carter says he was expecting the mc to arrive but only brought a knife
third he let go of Emma too easily, and Emma was an important protection for him
how i would have done it:
Carter knifes Zak, does after Emma, he gets to her and grabs her, mc and charlie arrive, Carter taunts the mc, and doesn't let go of Emma, knife to the neck and a pistol at his hip, MC takes out his gun, and points it at Carter, charlie freaks out, MC asks her to trust him,
after this i see two options:
- Mc is a badass and headshots the f***
Option two:
Mc signal's Emma/Emma decides on her own to stomp his feet with her heels, and as soon as she runs he shots him down.
there could also be a lets brawl path but it would have to be better setup

First of all, welcome.
Second, I also love the diversity between games, reason why I don't expect or even want to compare one to another.
Third, That is a really nice review. Even though it has no sex scene so far, at least nothing much, I also enjoy what this VN has to offer. it is just like you said, it gives you a rollercoaster of feelings and is still fun and interesting. I kind of like most of other VNs you mentioned, and the reason why I like this one is because it gives me something unique, just like the other ones.
Most of games or developers tend to follow a trend or try to copy some story or mindset that from other games and they end up becoming repetitive and annoying. Reason why I have 50 dead fathers through all the mcs on most games. They all start with: "your father died and you are now in a house with your landlady or stepmom" lol. Can you imagine? I had to endure the death of 50 dads and I have to take care of 50 landyladies and stepsisters/roommates. That is a lot of responsability.
Anyway, I am glad you finally found this one.

decent game, i am invested in the story but man the plot is so dark and its hard to read and difficult to think about.
Is this game censored? First it looks like we are about to fuck Lucy on the washing machine then it skips to Emma and her mom. Then when Carter is doing his thing in the alley, it just skips to Emma running to the MC out of the blue lmfao

This is it right here. The dev already said that Emma would be a LI, and that this will evolve AFTER their father-daughter type bond forms - doesn't have to be either/or. There are some in here who don't seem to understand that some of us pervs are into that taboo and are waiting for that slowww progression. I've actually stopped playing for now because I see the development with Emma is going to be a long one
Good game update again with an unexpected ending. Quite a brave decision for the last scene, we'll see what this brings to the development of the relationships, especially with Charlotte. About Emma: yes, her defiant phase could get on your nerves, but for me it's very authentic (anyone who has childs and was able to "enjoy" their first love knows what I'm talking about...).
Small points of criticism: The Carter scene was great and exciting, yet I'm not sure why he actually acted so stupidly (attack our MC "only" with a knife). We will see. Also the unused chance in the basement with Luzy. But BD really knows how to keep us hooked....
Small shout out to Koga's music mod: Please don't stop! Love your work, it's really amazing and adds a lot to the game.
Well, already eagerly waiting again for the next update, hopefully not as long as for this one. Thanks DB for this great game.

I am happy how this virtual novel is working out. I am only currently on the Charlotte path. This VN is different, has its own style, is enjoyable, I am invested in the characters and I am totally there for it. I hope this VN becomes an ongoing series of novels. Thanks Hillside !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be fair, if Detective Carter was to live, I would have chipped in for a gofundme for his legal defense. He did us a huge favor.
To be honest can't understand why Carter didn't join forces with the mcTo be fair, if Detective Carter was to live, I would have chipped in for a gofundme for his legal defense. He did us a huge favor.
