VN Ren'Py Hillside [v0.16] [DarkBlue]

[Ottoeight]

what does the unlock code do? i thought it would unlock all the achivements but it did not.

Nothing now, in fact.

The "achievements" were hidden objects on the screen (magazine on the table, photo, et cetera) in the beginning. Then the Author changed his mind.

Check the walkthrough in the OP.

This is getting intense.. glad to see Zak is finished, but I thought David was gonna do it. This is so fucking good.

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

Play Summer's Gone.. you obviously don't mind lacking sexual content. Both of these two for me are top 5 overall. Ocean's renders are unmatched.. you won't be disappointed.

that's maybe 'cause he also killed the first Emma and is in Harry Wolfs payroll

The way it has been portrayed is that Carter was the first Emma's dad and he held it against the mc for not protecting his daughter.

That is your interpretation and it's valid, but I agree with Mirewen.

Most here seem to think he is hurt and angry about First Emma's death, because in the VN Carter is assigning responsibility with MC and Charlotte.

Another explanation is that he is taunting MC and Charlotte with it and Carter himself killed First Emma.

 

[Racoom]

Bro why did zak's character model have to be that one. I can't take alot of VN's seriously anymore because of it.

My blood boils whenever that cliché douchebag shows up.

 

[Mirewen]

If Carter truly was mad at MC why would he recommend MC, knowing very well MC has a trauma because of the first Emma...

 

[Bendover885]

If Carter truly was mad at MC why would he recommend MC, knowing very well MC has a trauma because of the first Emma...

Also, why kill Zak?

I can see an angle where:

• Carter felt that gathering his enemies together makes things easier for him
• MC & Charlie together caused Emma's death, so together they pay (poetic justice)
• Carter's ego is such that he feels he can handle them regardless

 

[Hornyman2]

not good update. waste of time

 

[Dracodadark]

What a cliffhanger I’ve played through three times already going different paths. I love this game and hope the Dev feels better as I’m chomping at the bit for version 12 and I just finished 11 lol. Definitely donating on pat latter as this Dev is a great storyteller

If Carter truly was mad at MC why would he recommend MC, knowing very well MC has a trauma because of the first Emma...

it makes sense to me, i thought first of all why did he push for the mc to be there but if he doesnt like charlotte for whatever reason and doesnt like the mc he is just using it to get to him. im sure more will be revealed about his intentions because it didnt make sense why he was so mad about the first emma one unless he knew her way more than what was first thought.

he was going to kill emma first of all so maybe his plan was to kill her so he has another death on him which would hurt him way more than just killing the mc outright.. then when they turned up it changed his plans. its hard to get in the mind of a psycho whether real or fiction tbh. their logic is weird

i see someone ask why he killed zac and im sure he likely killed him because he has the other kid to blame it on, the other kid who snitched on zac could of told whoever that he went there and told the cop everything, but if he pins a murder on him and makes it a love one as he said, he has evidence in his locker that he was obsessed with emma so it wouldnt of been that hard to do.

 

[Dracodadark]

Might I suggest the two games I have under my message. If you like this game, I'll bet anything you'll love those too....
And I actually agree with your statement 100%

100% agree with both comments

I did a walkthrough for this game for a few reasons. I thought the renders were excellent and the premise of the story was interesting to me.

Edit: Updated v0.11

Small note to the 0.11 update here: The guide says "Suzi -1" if MC chooses to reply to the message, but judging by how Suzi reacts afterwards, and the conversation she has with MC the next day, it should probably be +1?

 

[LWtbo]

I love the game but god the MC's is either thick or oblivious and neither is a good trait for a bodyguard.

 

[HandRyck]

wow

 

[StingerWolf]

So was Carter the model Emma's father? Where did I miss that?

 

[Canto Forte]

None a Y all missed anything than the whole heavy rain game that would explain saw and this game well.
The detective wants scape goatds and after easily dispatching the manwhore decades younger and
a lot to live for, why would he think dispatching a depressed useless bodyguard who cannot seem to
guard anything or solve anything for his VIPs was any harder?
Cops are assholes and huge superioarity complex on top of delusions of grandeus and feeling like
they are the law makes a nut case detective saw minded psycho a real whirlwind of a headache.

[G27111]

the point of the discussion is not how he gonna cover up his crime. It is about Charlotte, a LI, seeing he killing a disarmed, immobilized person, intentionally and in cold blood in front of her and her daughter. And as soon as he cover up, make up any story that goes different from what really happened, he makes charlotte an accessory/accomplice to the crime.

I am glad charlotte was holding Emma against her, so she couldn't see that scene. Because if she saw it, it would have been even worse.

see i see this way different.... i feel like if he shot him that would of fucked up emma and charlotte even more, he took him out in a quiet way, he doesnt even need to lie and make her a accomplice lol its still self defense and as hillside is so fucking corrupt who is to say that carter wouldnt of got away with it?

in my first thought im thinking shoot him obviously. but if someone is military trained they know what they're doing. his first thought may have been to just stop him without killing him but then the mc even says that he thinks he will never leave charlotte alone and doesnt want them basically watching their back so he kills him. idk why people think thats so idiotic i think he did it smart and didnt just draw for his gun.

I love the update, the story is still great and the people are very well done.

"Spoilers":

But I don't see how the MC or his decisions interfere in Emma's relationship with Zak. It is the only thing that I would criticize or perhaps in the decisions that I made in my first playtrouhg they do not appear..

As far as the graphics and animations are concerned, it shows that it is very well done and each update continues to be of high quality. I really love it!
