[Defenestrator.for.traitor]

For me, the Charlotte Path is and remains the “main path”.

Sorry Joshy92 and Defenestrator.for.traitor (and all others, there are not on this route) ...

For my part, I've only expanded it a bit, as I'm adding three other Lloyds with me by diligently collecting relationship points from them too. I can record my first success with this "half update": Emma already calls the MC daddy! Next I also capture Suzi, as a friend, advisor, supporter and perhaps also as a father.

For reasons I don't understand, I feel the need to create a piece of an "ideal world" with this game.

Give me lies, but I believe that was the dev's original thought.

I don't know about the dev's idea but I think any path can be main path.

For example, I prefer Lucy as you know.

I can say, her path is the main path for MC because Lucy is the one who holds the Lloyd family together. Whenever Suzi or Emma needs an advice, they seek Lucy's. Many times Charlotte mentioned she is her rock too. Also, except Lucy all the Lloyds needed MC's help. So in a way, MC meant to stand together with Lucy to protect Lloyds. Their fates tied together. Lucy only opens up to MC and MC only opens up to Lucy. MC does not have such a relation with any other Lloyd, though I admit it's too soon for some.

Have you played Lucy's path? Can you compare it to Charlotte's? If you try both, in Charlotte's path MC always talk about how perfect a woman Charlotte is, how good looking she is etc. but he does not talk about his own place in the relationship. On the contrary, in Lucy's path he always talk or think about how Lucy always felt meant to be.

All in all, I am not gonna claim any path as the main one because I know it's not true. That's the beauty of this game anyway. Whomever you choose you feel you chose the right one.


Solely this scene is enough for me to not waiver on Lucy's path.

Btw, MC is very out of ordinary person. He can telepathically communicate. Not a phone in sight but he is talking with Agent Fox on the phone. Maybe an earbuds in the right ear?

I agree with you on all counts! Point!

And of course I also played the Luzy Path, but it didn't touch me emotionally. And our beloved Joshy92 will naturally see things completely differently. But as you said: "That's the beauty of this game anyway. Whomever you choose you feel you chose the right one."

Same goes for me, for Charlotte's path. I like her as a character and her path has some nice scenes but she did not touch me emotionally. Even when I play her path, I was thinking about Lucy and how does it effect her.

That's one of those things with a bad conscience. I can completely understand that, only in the opposite case.

Btw, I still have a problem with this scene.


Even if you choose all the good options for Charlotte, she is not feeling for MC if he is on other path. Why exactly? A few scenes prior to this, she confessed she has feelings for MC to Lucy then suddenly she changed her mind. Why the inconsistency?

Any thoughts?

to make it clear that Charlotte will not start any further actions like this towards MC and Luzy. Charlotte's path of love ends here!

I get the idea behind it but it really does not fit to the story. She was falling hard for MC then suddenly she noped out. I think it could be better she has these feeling but when she noticed MC and Lucy has a thing or when Lucy said it she will just accept it and be happy for them. Unless something happened at the background, this scene does not fit at all.


Btw, does not Emma look so cute here?

It would have made more sense, if she just said, "he's a good man, but I know Lucy likes him, not going to deny her some happiness, I love my sis". Also would have made her look like a good person & sister.

And yeah - she certainly does.

Yeah that is a good scene from early on....

Anyone else think after that update that Weinstein guy wants to get rid of some loose cannon he can’t control anymore and he’s tired of covering up for that asshole actors crimes? Wouldn’t be shocked at all to see if Weinstein has him whacked but makes it look like the bodyguard did it, maybe they steal his gun and use it in the murder and leave it at the scene. Also think agent Fox days are numbered (hope I’m wrong) since she wont get in line with the corrupt cops and she’s getting too close to finding something.

Well tbh I wouldn't play this if Emma wasn't a LI.

liar, you'd be in team suzi.

 

[Maviarab]

Correction, he'd have someone else in Suzi so he could clean up after.

 

[Zakalwe76]

well. finished this half-update and it's left more questions then before. i'm on Sharlotte path currently btw. actually their relationtiop is moving at pretty real-life speed considerring mc is willinly stalling and not pushing S for more. Jason's deffinitely made himself a liability to Harry. i'm not sure that pictures from Johno will make much difference and mc will have to sort everything by himself which opens a possibility for another 3-4 years of hard work for thedev)))

What they did with this game is simply sad, it seems that the devs have no idea how to continue the plot, these constant twists and turns are getting boring, and the waiting time for updates is ridiculous...

Hello,
could anyone provide me a save file up to version 14 that has the MC's name not default? I was dumb and I did not change the MC's name and I can't stand it anymore to read every time "Mr. Bodyguard". I'm going insane.
Or does anyone know how to change it, even from the VN's config file? I tried looking inside the python files a bit but I could not find anything.
Thanks in advance

you could try via console/unren, or you could add a simple custom rpy/script (spoiler bellow):

Why doesn't your statement surprise me now?

It WOULD be weird if it surprised you people have their own preferences, lmao.
