Question for those that played this game, is the R and blackmail avoidable? If not, are they just cheap ploys like in most of the games that use them or are they taken seriously? Only time I will play a game with unavoidable R, is when it is usually part of a LI backstory and we have to help them heal.

So, I finally finished the chapter from my Lucy route save, and started Charlotte's route from the beginning, but man, it feels so bad rejecting Lucy. :HideThePain:

I know most people probably won't agree, but I really hope Lucy ends up in a serious relationship if she's not with the MC. Like, maybe the MC could even set her up with Steve or something in the epilogue.
I never got to finish my Lucy save yet it's on my to do list when I actually replay this game as im curious if my outlook will change when I do play it.

not avoidable but it's only like 4 - 6 renders and it's for story reasons ( one of the character's trauma)

I used to joke about the charlotte path repeating itself all the times and its always one step forth and one step back but in this update ... all the dialogues between MC and Charlotte are really just the same conversation over and over and over, whats happening?

They have like 4 conversations all about the same thing and even the same stuff is said, its always just variations of "im sorry i know im complicated, i want this but i dont know if i can" and "i will always be there for you, no matter how long it takes" again and again.

I really liked the mc and charlotte relationship development (its really the only reason im playing this) but it kinda started to feel like comedy at some point.

Slowburn and charlotte struggling with intimacy is fine but the extent becomes laughable at this point and maybe just give them some other conversation topics if intimacy is still off the table, it just feels exhausting (to me) at this point.

Yeah I can see that for some reason it didn't bother me tho probably because it's charlotte and I know what she has gone through and I do enjoy seeing her thoughts alot. tbh I didn't even make the connection how it was the same conversation till I read your post lol.

On the plus side, they held hands a few times... in public too, he got to put his arm around her also in public, and they kissed twice (I think?) also in public. When in Greece, she had a panic attack when MC tried to massage her neck and he helped her calm down where she pushed through and continued it. She even admitted to herself that it was very good and actually got her going a bit. Her dream on the airplane (we don't get to see) seemed to be about the MC and I got the impression it got her going a bit. Her other dream, which we get to see, was MC saving and protecting her, as opposed to the normal nightmares she had. All of those are pretty big steps forward, even if the conversations have some repetitive moments.

In that regard I was surprised that the MC refused twice (I think?) to talk to Charlotte, when asked, about his military background and only opened up a little about his family background. Whereas on Lucy's path, she asks once and MC tells her a lot more details then he ever says to Charlotte. I know each relationship has a different dynamic, I just found it interesting to see how much more open he is for one over the other. For all his wishing and longing for her to open up to him, he's certainly very quick to snap shut when asked about his past and keeps saying "later".

Yeah I kind of found that annoying tbh. Tho I think he will talk about it in the next update or the one after that as it seems we gonna be taking her to our apartment at some point soon and probably Emma 2. I feel that would be the perfect time to open up since since wants to see our Military pictures

So , i think the update was fine , i dont remember the last update , it has been 6 months already ? tbh felt a little short for a 6months work.

Im a bit confused about Suzy , theres what ? 4 or 5 points you get with her , but still theres nothing significant that happened , sure Hanna sent a pic to mc and Suzy kinda get mad that he ddnt said more about her pic and also that night after the bar where she calls the mc and they staid a bit chatting throught the phone , but all that felt insignificant that now in this update she just confessed HER feelings to her sister about that guy , that she is also aware that they both like each other and theres nothing happening right now exactly because they are both very busy training for the Olympics and as soon as that is done seems that they are going to porsue a relationship , the guy seemed fine ( hard to judge if he is another asshole like the marjority of Hillside folks, based on just 2 or 3 lines he had... ) , SO im confused ... because lets be honest , feelings they dont change that fast , they dont happen to disapppear from night to day , so WHAT event is going to happen to make Suzy and MC to have a relationship ? Because for me seems pointless now to porsue her after she confessed to have feelings for someone else. I also just noticed in my thoughts , that she says her type of guy would be like the MC ( strong and big , who could also take her ) , that guy from the pool seems more weak than her tho ?!

So Kayla got upgraded to main LI ? Honestly i was okay with the fuck buddies situation , she is very beautiful and has a very nice body , but her personality is very bad IMO , maybe because she is too young ? i dont know , but for me her personality is lacking a lot , but lets see how things unfold with her.

Emma... i honestly dont see myself having a relationship type couple with her , for a 18 years old she was too sheltered ( which of course is totally understandable ) , but she is very indecisive , she is too naive which we also already know , but i dont know man , i feel like more being a father figure to her ( which is something that she always wanted , she evens says a lot about it ) , since she is too sweet , she is more a child than a adult , so for me is very hard to imagine having something of that type with her.

Now Charlotte , seems things are progressing slowly as expected , she at least gave a few peeks to him , im suspecting that something will happen to them in like 2 or 3 years ? But i dont think that she will ever be able to recover from her PTSD, like brother .. be real ... a death situation is really not something that someone will forget , specially that someone else had tried to take your life away from you ( specially the way that happened to her ) , so is totally normal for her to want to have a normal relationship but not be able to because of her trauma , because panics attacks could happen at any minute , so thats totally normal for her to want to do something with him , but be totally afraid of doing it , yes she could have eventually a relationship with the MC , because she is trying a lot , but like i said , i dont think she will ever heal from her scars , they are too deep for a single person to help "cure" , like man is 1 person giving her a "good experience" while she has millions of bad experiences with all the others mens that she encountered in her life. SO yeah , im not expecting anything to happen with her for a long time still i like her and im enjoying her path :)

Im sorry for a long ass text haha , i really like some games and i like to thing a lot about them :)

On the other side of the coin its kinda weird how charlotte keeps poking about his past but being unable to talk about her past herself

Like yeah she always added "only if you want to talk about it" but she still kept asking again and again via different ways about the same thing despite it while he was very obviously troubled talking about it lol

This game started in 2020 and the woman still cant make up her mind 5 years later. Talk about blue balls. When he is finally able to fuck her he wont be able to get it up because they will be 90 years old. Ya, it is a nice story and some build up is ok, but dear god get with it already.
It's been 5 years for us in the real world, yeah. But in-game, I think it's only been a few months from the start to current content. So they will still be pretty young when things finally do kick-off with Charlotte and Suzi.

But I understand your point that's it's taking a while in the real world. Being a solo dev, certainly doesn't make things fast.

That's exactly what I'm hoping for too. I'd like to see the trip broken down to cover the two Paths differently.

If on the Charlotte path, the MC gets to spend some dedicated time with her to talk. If Emma tags along, she'd be smart enough to know they both need to actually open up and talk. It'd be a great spot to do that.

For Emma, as there's no real "start" to her path, or a path at all, it could be a good time for her to bring up the feelings she's been having. Because she develops these feelings all paths that are not Charlotte's (Lucy, Kaylah, and non/Suzi) there's going to have to be a time to either open or close her route. This could be a good spot for that, when she gets to dig into his life. If Charlotte goes with them I don't see an opportunity for something like that to happen and then her status will drag longer.

I do agree, to a point. She has slowly told him things over the duration of the story. Sure it's small tidbits and only from time-to-time, but I think she's told him way more about her past then he has about his. He's also gotten access to a lot of information while helping her. She doesn't get that luxury, yet.

The MC in this is such a weirdo. I had him avoid all relationships and he's still all "I can't watch them touch her, it makes me so mad" or whatever other nonsense he spouts. I suppose it's partially my fault for wanting him to just be professional and do his job.

It ended for me after Charlotte walks away after the MC told her about his meeting up and beating up Jason, I never seen a call from Selena, I downloaded the version 16, but, it is the same as it was from months back for me, am I just not downloading the right file?
