VN Ren'Py Hillside [v0.15.1] [DarkBlue]

[AlexMpog]

You guys are selling it like Emma was raised in a tower, completely shut off from the outside world, with no chance to learn basic social skills or how to interact with people (your arguments are valid just don't fully justify her behaviour, from my perspective at least).
Saying she's autistic is a stretch for sure - she's nowhere near that. But still, let’s put it this way - she won’t be splitting the atom anytime soon.
Personally I get where all these questions about her are coming from - assuming people aren’t just trolling, of course.

with no chance to learn basic social skills or how to interact with people.

she had chance at school but was bullied and what happened to her crush zac/whatever is better to forget.

 

[MrDude1977]

I hope eventually if on Emma's path we can see her in some sexy lingerie. Maybe black stockings and a garter belt? Stuff like that.

Heck, maybe all the ladies could use some lingerie.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[MrDude1977]

Agree fully with MiltonPowers and Maccabbee on their assessments.

Emma was severely overprotected and sheltered by Charlotte. I think this is what's used to show her stunted emotional and interpersonal skills.
Emma was targeted for mental and emotional abuse/manipulation through body shaming, by Zack in order to get with her and his ultimate goal, Charlotte.

As to the stalker dropping stuff off at/inside the house, Emma doesn't really know about it other than that Charlotte is hiding something from her.

I think Emma's sister, forget her name it's been a while but i think she also suffered from Char by the way she treats MC, seems like she has trust issues that stem from Char. I may be wrong but feels that way.

Her name is Suzi but I think you are right but I think it's because she saw there was an issue with her mother , overheard something or just daddy abonnement issues and maybe heard Charlotte & Lucy talks bad about him and etc etc.

With Suzi, she's commented about daddy issues, that it was an abusive relationship, and he abandoned them completely. We don't know much about that.

It feels like that, Being older, she most likely felt way worse the abandon of their dad, plus the sheltering Char did to them, and I believe this is one of the reason she "despise" men's and went hard into sports. And true we have not that much info to support any of this, but maybe it will change in future updates, if we will have a let's say synopsis of their past.

 

[Dessolos]

But man guys I can't wait for this update cause if I recall correctly didn't the dev say there is only roughly 2 more updates left until we go into full on romance mode. I'm not a Boob guy but I hope it isn't long till we see Charlotte's boobs when that happens I been dying to see them and I don't count the magazine cover.

The game really tries to lead the narrative of it being the combination of Charlotte and school that primarily lead to her being where she is. And yeah, she did live in a proverbial tower. She left the house to go to school, and other than that she was at home. At the beginning, she has very negligible social skills, and it's very easy to see. It even get to the point where she meets one cute guy, and is instantly obsessed with him and the fact that he'll be the best boyfriend and husband ever. Going so far as to get mad at people that even try to tell her otherwise. That's not something most people develop that have healthy social interactions. She doesn't have the experience of seeing men and women together, outside of her being bullied at school, so she has no basis of comparison to learn from.

How many scenes do we see where she was at school and leaves happy and cheerful? I can think of maybe one offhand and that was when the MC was directly involved and only because she went to get her stuff to do school at home. Further, in one school scene it bad that in once school scene the MC called Suzi to help, as he was having a hard time stopping himself from getting involved and he didn't want to hit teenage girls. Definitely not conducive to a healthy environment, especially when it's so blatant with no attempt to hide it and yet no authority figure(s) step in.

In Emma's personal life, she was over-sheltered and over-protected by Charlotte. Charlotte even says it later in the story, after the Zack incident. Outside of school, she had near zero social life and stayed at home. The one major scene when she does leave the house and goes to her friend's party, she ends up getting bullied and teased there.

V0.16 is something of a breather episode. With Jason apparently dealt with and Emma now free after graduating college, things feel more relaxed. But this is the calm before the storm and V0.17 will be much more dramatic.

After that, the focus will shift to the relationships with your chosen love interest, with the drama becoming more personal as each character confronts their own issues.

Can't you just skip v0.16 and v0.17 and get straight to v0.18? We're practically dying for it!!!

 

[Joshy92]

Bring on the titty sucking scenes

Seriously though I do love the game but once the romance aspect really kicks off I'll be even more enthralled.

Can't wait to finally make this dream a reality.

This is what is happening in 0.16, because as it stands now Jason just got released and Emma is still preparing for the Final-Show at school....

Sounds like you missed v0.15?

Emma had her college show, and something happened to Jason.

V0.16 Progress Update 16/05/25

Just now
Hi everyone,
Nearly there, but not quite yet. It is still going to take some time to identify and fix problems, and apply the final polish. I'll share a release date with you next Friday.
Thank you for your support,
DB​

 

[Joshy92]

I'll be a happy man where if I choose Emma's love path, we get a scene where Suzi catches them kissing.

I'm a drama queen, I know, but I just like the thought of the rest of the family being hesitant or even angry at first.

Just admit is Joshy you want to more with Emma than just kiss. You wanna suck on them titties! Imagine Suzi walking in on that.
