it was a surprise to me but ive seen people saying carter was involved with it all for a longggg time, so there was signs, it all happened quickly but also he probably felt like it was his best chance seeing as he had the guy in custody who was obsessed with emma and zac taking her out all alone. when he realised mc found out about that johno too that was probably something else that made him want to act quicker. if you a psycho and see multiple dominos falling around you it would probably make you act up idk.

People can speculate about anything, whether it's facts based or not. Maybe there were some signs, but I either missed them or there weren't any. Carter was shown to have control issues in this update, so the MC telling him about John could have accelerated his unseen plans, but it still feels like it was made up on the spot by the dev. Could just be me though, but until I see some dialogue that hints at him being sus then my opinion will stay the same. The update was enjoyable nontheless.

it could have gone on longer with us knowing it was for sure him but i dont think this was just made up on the spot. it was all set up in the last update with the date being planned, that kid who crushes on emma going to the police.. you see his locker loads of episodes ago so for me that shows this kinda thing was planned. As i said though, when multiple things are happening around you and you feel like you have to act it can make you act more irrational, especially if you a fucking psycho. Plus if carter was the one that wolf prick phoned and was hiring to get the MC and Charlotte then that obviously made him go up a gear too.

For whatever reason Carter always wanted the MC with Charlotte, every time she wanted to get rid of him he was the one who was trying to convince her, Its kinda like with films tho, when they do it they try and get the obvious people it could be then have the others hidden in plain sight. he definitely wasnt a obvious one but he links in with the story to where it makes sense.

I just discovered this game and took me a while to catch up with the latest update. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions and there is a lot to unpack. The story is really nice and I like it being a slow burn and more focused on character development and less on the porn part.

That being said I cant help but notice that as I reached the latest chapters it kinda took a weird turn. I know there are lot of bad people in this but I gotta say that the ending of this chapter left a lot to be desired. I just wish at least we had a choice in how to proceed at that part. It felt really out of place and unnecessary. The MC is shown to be a bit of dumb at some parts of the story but it was ok since we had some say in how to proceed.

But other than that I'm glad I gave this one a try and I really wonder how it goes from there.

I do recall him saying that part about David now that it's been mentioned to me. I wish game dev's(In general) that post content after long periods of time made a quick recap to go along with it. All they'd have to do is re-use a few scenes and add a skip recap button. I can't read through a 6+ hour game after every single update that comes out. It'd be a nice QoL feature.

Yeah that is a feature of BADIK that people have come to rely on, that little rundown of what has happened so far set to the title music before every update. I'm not sure how much development time or data bloat it takes up, though.

There were many inconsistencies in the latter scenes.
Carter : mc didn't know his involvement in all of this but why did Carter suddenly decided to bring it all on the table as if it was the last thing he would do? And he also got the upper hand by making emma a hostage but suddenly decided to let her go to mano 'o mano with mc knowing he is ex-military.
Zak : this sonova bitch deserves to die but not like this, it was a stupid death. I thought the mc or suzie would be the one to beat the hell out of him in front of emma after knowing his intentions. And he's already planning his scheme for so long, he also said that it would be tough to corrupt/break emma but why did he suddenly snap like that by telling emma his true intentions just because she didn't want him to touch her on their first date?
The game have been good written from the start, it's just weird to me how it turn out now. Unless the developer have more surprises waiting in the upcoming updates. Maybe mc didn't kill carter, just made him unconscious. Or maybe zak didn't died for whatever reason....

Those that have been following the game since the beginning will remember there was a nude shot of Emma in the bathroom, but it was removed from the game

It's been a while, but I managed to track down an older version of the game (0.4) ...

Although, It should be noted that DB must have had reason for removing/editing this scene, and seeing this probably goes against the author's intentions for how you are meant to experience the game.

Nevertheless, for those who are curious:

Speaking of emma, anyone else notice the render where her phone said dad(In one of the Carter scenes)? It was a nice touch.

I wonder how Emma will be made a LI in this game(I don't believe there will only be a father-daughter relationship, especially not with the exit screen being a censored picture of her naked body and the aforementioned nude scene in the comment above). Should be interesting.

A number of girls grope emma, zack gropes emma,
while MC who is living and breathing and caring for emma for such a long time
only gets to express concirn and be there to see her stunning beauty.

How far do you want the manwhore rapist sex harrasser plot line to continue?
That asshole outlived his stake in the story long ago.
We got a lot of new villains introduced and some old ones get swift retribution
for their troubles.
MC is officially last line of deffense against killers out for charli. Point blank and plain.
We get a front row seat to what it feels and looks and thinks like,
when you stand barehanded in the street, alone, smack center between killers and your girls.

That is not pretty and the sacrifice is you go all in. MC stopped a killer. PEriod.
You can mourn the rapists and the killers all you want now ... in their long overdue deaths.

Now that the Detective shanked Prince charming for all of mankind, Her romantic interests will obviously fall to the MC from once seeing him as a father figure to now a lover and her hero.

I can already see the internal monolog Emma gonna be having in future updates.

Only question I have for Emma is if she'll go to her mother/aunt and ask for advice creating future conflict(s) or will she just go for it behind their backs.

Charlotte probably will distance herself (again) from the MC anyway, so Emma will have clear path.
