This was really good, i was considering dropping it early/mid to late stages cause of the secret keeping and pushing away someone that is trying to help and believing you can handle it yourself, i really understand how traumatic it can be, i really do but please don't push away people who genuinely care and want to help you cause it hit me deeper cause of i had a buddy who was in a tough and dangerous spot but refused to talk or ask for help, i noticed and really tried to help but he kept insisting everything was fine next thing i know i got a call that he was found d3ad, it made me angry at myself and himself but myself especially cause if i had taken matters into my own hands instead of just sitting around when i could clearly see something was up I'd have helped and he'd still be alive, i was very angry as why he wouldn't let me help him, and i still beat myself up and mostly blame myself till date so please i know it's not easy, i really really do but please if you see someone that is genuinely willing to help you please don't push the person away, please. Anyways I'm glad i continued this, it was a 9/10 when everything was out and no more secrets, definitely looking forward to more updates and i don't think this is anywhere close to done?

Thanks. Glad you're enjoying it.

The story still has a long way to go. Eventually, the dark storyline will conclude and give way to happier, more romantic ones.

And there will definitely not be any kind of harem.

Can't wait, your game was the one that made me realized I do like a LI with a darker storyline when they are going through something. Because of how well done it was and it made me just want to be there for Charlotte no matter what. I don't even want to fix her just be there for her lol. Which ended up being my favorite trait when I see something similar to it from another LI in other games nowdays. But now I can't wait for the happier romantic side of things especially after the last 1-2 updates.

I would go further. What makes this game so special? In all the games here you are more or less just there, but here the author takes you by the hand and lets us share in the thoughts of the protagonists. It's not just individual thoughts, but rather entire monologues [EDIT: of thoughts], the spectrum of which ranges from sadness, fears and doubts to joy, feelings and longings. The whole thing is paired with an amazing story. The four Lloyds exuded so much kindness and warmth that you just wanted to cuddle them.

And what no one seems to have noticed is how brilliantly the author knows how to use subtle eroticism to let the player's imagination wander off into unexpected distances. And that on a porn site deserves the utmost respect.

so much this 100% especially about the bit you said about the monologues. I've seen people complain every once in awhile about having to read a character's monologue in other games but to me I find it harder to make a connection to a character , or care about how they feel towards a MC romantic or not, or just care about them in general without reading their monologues. In fact it's probably some of the best bit of dialogue in this game.

In all seriousness guys if the mc starts dating Emma do you think Suzi will eventually be supportive of the relationship?
Click to expand...
Yes, because time and again, Emma seems to get through to Suzi, usually after a Suzi meltdown or partial meltdown.

I think when Emma does start doing stuff with the mc they won't tell the family straight away.
I have a feeling Charlotte will be the first to find out.
Maybe she'll accidentally walk in on them kissing or something?

That whole storyline and how it could play out fascinates me.
It's what I'm looking forward to seeing the most.

I would prefer Charlotte to find out when, from the other side of the house, she hears Emma being very loud and the sound of the headboard continuously slamming into the wall. She goes to the room only to find Emma looking at her with a full load of MC's nutbutter on her face. Best story ever.

Then it’s all, “Oh, MC, you’re the best; you can have my daughter but only if I get to join in,” and every player’s head explodes with joy.

If that happened my head would not explode with joy. I don;t find Charlotte at all attractive. Literally Lucy is the only woman in the VPN (that is an option and that I can think of right now) who is attractive.

I will admit, that whole "3rd person omniscience" cheat that most other games (and a lot of media) likes to use is something I normally hate... buuuuut in this AVN it's done well and doesn't detract from the story in any way.

I noticed.

I also like the slow build of the Lucy romance... I mean yes, it moves fast compared to how I suspect the others in Hillside would go (except the one model who throws herself at the MC upon meeting him), but compared most other AVNs here, Lucy is a long slow romantic build. I appreciate that.
