Steve is also sus right? He was at the mall where stalker took picture of MC & Emma. (although MC never linked those two events together and it never being mentioned ever again)

Steve is suspicious alright, but I doubt that he is the guy with the camera. When that cameraman first appeared, Steve was at his bar talking to the MC. The next morning, when the MC drove up to the Lloyd's residence, the cameraman was still there (he even mentions taking the pictures the previous night). But he doesn't recognize the MC! He can describe the MC, and even guesses that the MC might be a security guard. It is inconceivable that Steve would not instantly recognize the MC.

This update caused me immense physical pain. I'm so desperate to resolve all the tension with Charlotte...

 

[longjohngold]

This is solid, I'm not sure how I feel about being in a relationship with the sister, I feel sorry for her but this won't end well (but I'm a slave to walkthrough mods so do as I'm told)...

Right at the start I thought maybe the guy from the movies was the stalker (otherwise it felt weird that he was being brought up so much)... but then towards the end it kinda felt like we were supposed to be thinking that so I've semi changed my mind.

I very much want to see that attacker dude get a bullet put through his head in the back of an alley, or worse, but I guess we'd need to find out his connection to the MC so we can hate him more first.

Oh and I really hope his bar buddy isn't a bad dude, seeing him in the mall made me uncomfortable, but I'm really hoping that was a red herring.

So the next update is 2 months again?

Normally, Dev takes 1 month to deliver an update.

Yeah, the going back is frustrating, it seemed like maybe a breakthrough with Emma's mum, then right back to square one.

I agree. IMHO, the stalker could easily be Johno, the paparazzo who is already blackmailing Suzi.
The SMS bully could be either one of the girls from the school (Jenny's friend Sara?) or Zak himself.

Steve so far has been more of a plot device than a character - the magical source of all information the MC needs, but has no time to acquire himself (and the readers would be bored to read about it). Whenever some information is needed, the MC just goes to Steve and gets it from him. I doubt that he will ever become much more than what he already is.

-Chooses "Be professional".....
Still gets accused of being unprofessional....
what...
the...
fuck...

I dunno I guess I'm different than everyone else.. but I'm starting to hate the three bitches of hillside that want to keep hiding secrets but lash out at the one guy that wants to protect them while getting jealous of the one person not acting like a bitch.

Yeah that "Be Professional" scene kinda irked me. But then again, Charlotte has done nothing but make me roll my eyes from the start. Honestly, can't wait for her to fire MC so he can be with Lucy, openly.

According to a Patreon post a few months ago, he changed that since version v0.6 (or v0.7). Before it was 5 weeks, now it should be 7-8. This one took a week longer (but all renders were redone in 1080p, too).

 

[Osamabeenfappin]

I'll wait another update to dl this again. Sounds like it's moving backwards.

 

[xxTHESTYGIANxx]

Okay, so I was super into this for the first couple of updates. Hated Charlie but then learned why she is the way she is. No problem love those gut punch moments. However, now...I just feel let down. I don't mind slow burns. But this is a No burn. Every update feels like the dev poured Gas on and lit a match to START the burn, just to blow it out and walk away.

Honestly I don't feel as if we are getting anywhere with anyone in this. I mean for fuck sakes, the one person solidly in the MC's corner gets pissed at him to for something he couldnt have known. Charlie is back to the point that I don't even like her anymore. Suzi, well Have never and will never like a woman who is a bitch for the sake of being a bitch. Either get to know the MC or fuck off. Emma, well I can't really see her as a sexual object. Being that naive is a turn off. All the mysteries that are mysteries to even the dev at this point, or it feels that way.

So as of now, I can't pledge for this was considering it but can't do it. Not until this story starts to actually go somewhere anywhere really.

 

[Havik79]

Yeah it did feel like it went backwards a bit, however, Emma did say about feeling good when we hug her, so hopefully, this is a turning point to her becoming a LI, well except for her mum, sister, and aunt will all muff block us.

I really like Emma, she is my favorite girl, but yea, at this moment, I can really see her as a daughter type, not a LI. I guess Lucy and Kaylah are the women I can see as LI, but yea, Lucy attitude in this update it was irrational.

 

[LSC82]

Usually when we get a "Emma type" it's some sort of corruption game, it may be "light corruption" where we gradually start to introduce her to sex and she mostly enjoys this, but still taking the innocence away from someone who is childlike (despite age).

But DB said "this ain't it" so i have no clue what's the destination.

 

[Hellkinglucifer]

So zak banged jenny and given the way the story has been going with how incredibly naive and stupid emma is he's probably gonna tell her he was drugged and didn't fuck jenny willingly. Then he's probably tell her the only way to remove the stain of that 'forced' sex scene is for them pure lovers to have sex...... nah just kidding

 

[Maestro91]

I feel I need to get this out after playing the last 3 updates in a row.

Charlotte is a terrible mom.
In that I mean she's either completely inept raising two daughters or at least the youngest of the two in "hollywood" with all these terrible people and their spawn. Emma is so completely oblivious to how awful all the people at her school is.
It hurts to see her going around acting like something coughed out of seasme street when every one else is channeling stereotypical-hollywood-reality-tv.
How come Emma needs to be like this while Suzi is the way she is? I expect we'll get to see what Suzi experienced to grow up to be the way she is, but if not then I blame the writing for creating Emma to be so unbelievably innocent as she is.

I know that Charlotte is written to be incredibly vary of teaching her daughters about how awful it is out there in the "real world" considering what she went through with the asshole psychopath, but to my mind she's not doing them any favors withholding information like this.
It creates so many misunderstandings, like all the stuff in 0.8 rn.

 

[Sicansios]

My first post here, i really enjoy this game.

Is a really really slow burn (without burn for now ), but i don't have issues with it, there is plenty of games full of sexual interactions, so i really want to see where this game goes

And speaking about the women, i like them all, but the ones that interest me less are Lucy and Charlotte. I'm more interested on Emma, Suzi and Kaylah

- Emma, well she is loveable, the looks, her behaviour, everything. Is hard not to fall for her, but...also is hard to see her as a LI. She and the mc seems something more platonic, but we'll see. The bond they have now is pretty solid

- Suzi, i have a weakness for her. In terms of appearance, she's my favourite. And i also love the bad relation between both, the mc and her, i always like this hates relationship turning into something more. She's clearly a nice person, but she's too impulsive and also too worried about her sister. My main issue, is the lack of interactions with her and also i cannot see a lot of possible scenarios where they both can interact more and maybe develop some kind of feelings. Is a pitty, because i see a lot of potential on her, but right now, she is not even a LI

- And then Kaylah, at first, when i saw her, i thought she'll be just a problematic girl , jealous of Charlotte. The typical antagonist of the main girls. I was wrong, she is really amazing, and her interaction with Emma made me fall for her, especially because this scene

Spoiler: Kaylah

But same issue than Suzi, i cannot see a lot of scenarios where she and the mc can interact

Well, i'm writting too much, and saying too little

In summary, i love this game, i don't care the lack of sexual interactions and i'm just worried that 2 of my favourite girls just won't be able to shine. Well, always i'll have Emma

 

[JB08]

There is something odd about the update, i cant exactly place it though. It just seems or feels different. I dont know lol. I liked it anyway.

edit

I could have sworn Emma was more stacked too but she looked the same as Suzi in the hot tub.

 

[RolandG.]

It's a real shame that the story is regressing. All the little advances in the relationships with the ladies seem to be destroyed again with this update.
Charlotte's trust in the MC suddenly disappears again from one minute to the next.

It feels like all the female characters are becoming bitches.
