People in this thread come down on both sides. I believe, that given Charlotte's resources and my conviction she'll stand behind the MC, his odds are better to call the cops, her lawyers (maybe the press), and act like anyone else who is an innocent victim of a crime (which he in fact is). A number of folks here think that view is naive.
Similarly, I don't think we, as Johnny Silverhand would say, have a city to burn... yet. A trial involving the bodyguard of the world's top model accused of killing a cop to protect her and her daughter, would lead the game to a conclusion too quickly at this stage.

Who knows the MC might be sleeping with her by the end of it.
Something about that idea, specifically in this story, creeps me out. I think it's because her development is so lacking that it'd basically be like him messing around with a pre-teen. Either way, if, for whatever reason, that ends up being in the story, I really hope it'd be completely optional because if not, I don't think I'd continue playing, even though I enjoy this one a lot.

I would say you will be given a choice, as you have had with the other characters so far. As i said to someone i could understand if she was more mature and maybe a little older, and didn't have that creepy pink room, then i could possibly understand it. But to me she looks up to the MC as a father, and maybe i am reading this wrong but when she calls him her phone says Dad, so yeah not sure how this will work out or how Charlotte could ever forgive him.
I am in agreement with Charlotte:
"This town is full of fucking perverts and predators." How does it make the MC any better.

There have been some concerns voiced recently about Emma being a love interest. In response I said that I would make a post about it.

Simply put, Hillside is about a man who enters the lives of a family of four women and how he comes to fall in love with each of them separately.

Those four women are Charlotte, Lucy, Suzi and Emma, and they are the four main love interests with whom you will be able to have a romantic and sexual relationship.

The relationships are exclusive of one another, so the player chooses their love interest and the other three will be excluded. That means that if you don't choose Emma as your love interest then you will not experience any sexual content involving her and your growing father-daughter relationship will continue.

I chose for Emma and the MC to form a father-daughter kind of relationship for a number of reasons. The main one is because I wanted the player to feel that a romantic relationship with Emma was wrong and inappropriate somehow, which it is on many levels. I hoped that people choosing her as a love interest would feel conflicted about it and experience a moral dilemma, as the MC undoubtedly would.

I don't want to spoil the story by saying too much about what is going to happen, but I will say that, following the events of v0.11, Emma will begin to act more maturely and she will be the one that initiates the romantic relationship with the MC.

If anyone has any more specific questions or concerns then leave a comment and I will try to answer them.

Thanks,
DB

I'm all for Emma acting more maturely. After the night she just had she is going to need to grow up in a hurry. Don't think that she is the love interest that I would pick myself, but I'm sure that storyline will have its fans.

For me feels weird pursuing Emma given how she and mc bonded, as seen in the last update Emma sees the mc as a father figure. My end goal is the mc gets a happy ending with Charlotte and nothing more.

Right now, considering how Emma has only been trying to push the MC and her mother towards a romantic relationship, I have a hard time seeing how the way she considers the MC can shift towards a romantic relationship rather than a father-daughter one.
That said, with DB's storytelling capabilities, I trust he will find a way

Was this actually that big a deal where DB had to make a post? I'm confuse. Were people angry that Emma is included as a LI or that they don't want Emma as a LI?

I might be in the minority here but Emma will never be an LI for my MC, she's his daughter and that's that. You did a great job writing the MC, one of the few times an adult MC has been written properly and not like a horny kid who hasn't seen a pair of tits before. And it's for that reason why imo the MC and Emma just doesn't work in a romance sense. MC needs a woman not a girl and although you're planning to make Emma more matured the father-daughter seeds has already been sewn for 11 episodes,and I think it's perfect as it is.
I can however see how Emma would fall in love with the MC tho, that was to be expected at some point. I just hope that we won't hurt her if we reject her like how Lucy gets hurt if you reject her. Speaking of Lucy I've noticed when you're on her path she seems quite jealous of Charlotte which I can understand cause in the past all of her bfs only wanted Charlotte but I do hope nothing serious comes from that jealousy.

That said, The Prince is dead!! Didn't see that coming... I usually skip Zamma or Zak scenes so when I saw that I was like "hold up lemme hit back on this mah"
