Is there any value in getting Zach points? For example: he won't betray you to Ethan if your points are high enough? He's such a creep and actively harms your relationships with the girls, so I always side against him.

Has anyone gone the opposite way?

No. The value of Zach points seems to have been made obsolete by the removal of the storyline that gave the game the corruption tag (originally there was going to be an option not to believe Erynn and her version of what happened with the confession years ago and team up with Ethan against her), if that storyline was there then it would make sense that gaining Zach points would help trigger it if you consider what actually earns points with Zach (attempting to manipulate Val to get closer to Zach, invading the girls' privacy by spying on them in the locker room).

But as awesome as a threesome would be, I loved the bit where the MC played with Elena's brothers. And I think she did too (great husband material).
I'd love to see the three of them just hanging out and bonding (MC and the girls, that is) moving towards a throuple.

I'm pretty sure that MC playing with her brothers is when Elena's general feelings of "this dude is really pretty cute and I love that he treats Layla so well" turned into "Oh shit, I'm totally crushing on this guy that my best friend has a claim on, this is going to be a problem."

But a future threesome would be amazing, I agree!

Nope. Zach is a douche and sides with Ethan no matter what you do.

Zach's betrayal legitimately made me so sad. I was just like "Bro, no...." I mean, you spend the whole game trying to show him how to be less toxic and more genuine in the hope that he can grow, and then he just falls into Ethan's trap so easily. Maybe it hit me harder because there was a time I might have ended up being that guy myself, but still. Genuinely sad for him and the MC both.

Unfortunately, I saw Zach's betrayal coming, he just had that vibe about him.

id recommend bookmarking your watched threads easy to miss notifications if you only go by the notification bell from my experience.

There was a little foreshadowing with a few shots of his face looking badly the MC when he talked to the girls at school

 

[Justaphase]

Zach is the worst kind of creep. He actually thinks that he has a shot with ANY of the girls, they all see right through him after spending more than two minutes with him.
He's not a bad looking guy, I've seen that character model used as the MC in a few other games and Nyx even gave him a damn six pack, I think it's her way of saying that looks aren't everything.
The moment he was like "come on, lets spy on the girls in the shower" I was done with him. So the punch/siding with Ethan thing was just the final nail in the friendship coffin for me.

 

[Dessolos]

I totally spied on the girls with Zack my first time then reloaded had to see the scene play out. But not sure if I actually went through with it to see the consequences later tho I did hear about it on this thread if I recall I think Alexis might break up with you or at least gives you shit for it not sure how she finds out. Tho Maybe im miss-remembering.

didn't stick with that choice to see the consequences, did it once to see the scene and rolled back immediately

I didn't actually play the shower peeking either, but I thought there was a problem particularly with Elena finding out during the truth or dare game. Which would mean Layla & Val would both know too. I think you lost a shitload of points with all 3 iirc.

o yeah I forgot Layla & Val finds out too. I just recall either reading or I did a speed run and did that choice on accident and there was a scene with Alexis talking about it forget if it was a breakup or she was mad but makes sense Layla told her.

If you're on a Lexi path, you would expect that Layla would let her sister know that her boyfriend is a creepy pervert.

o for sure I just forgot Layla finds out haha

The dumbass just says it out loud and outs the MC as being there too, he's even terrible at being a pervert.
It kills Layla, Elena and Val paths as far as i'm aware(i basically shelved that particular save, so i don't know if there's a way back with the girls, i'm betting no).

sure except F95 "occasionally" forgets to notify user about new thread updates and then needs to check watched to see if missed any.

I peeked with Zach in my main PT (Alexis path). I wouldn't do that IRL, but it's a porn game so we can have some fun, and a peek is not that bad. But Elena and Laya forgave me since I have good relationship with them. Though I chose to be mad with Zach after his slip-up. Don't remember if Alexis said something about it, but since Layla is ok it must not have been much

In most school setting games MC's best friend,sidekick(male) is creep,boring,douche,etc. and if best friend is a girl,she is in love with him,jealous and less fuckable of all LIs...It's hard to be MC,lol.

And usually the father is dead.

 

[Morgana Le Fay]

I tried to play this as a forgiving, Zach bro. I'm sorry I can't. It's too hard.
He's a brainless idiot who makes red headed stepchildren from Kentucky seem like they came from a natural union.
He has zero self awareness or boundaries, lives in an alternate dimension where he is a Tate spawn and has the most disgusting lack of hygiene. It's impossible to like him (unless you can identify maybe? )
No, he needs fed headfirst into a wood chipper.

P.S. sorry if you are from Kentucky

According to the walkthrough it ends the Layla romance("just friends with Layla" flag activated), the same flag that turns on if you chose Alexis over Layla... so long term they remain friendly, but romance chances are over.
Goes without saying that by ending the romance with Layla it ends the Elena path too.

Val may still be possible despite taking a -4 hit (Layla also takes -4 and Elena -10 but relationship chances with them are over anyways).
No effect on Alexis or other girls.

I knew this was the case because i remember not only being kicked out of the truth or dare game, but Layla doesn't invite you to the hot tub the next day... so i knew the Layla path was fucked(at this point i simply dropped this save, no point in keeping it).

And its really annoying. The few times a male friend is a normal, decent guy, he's often gay. Just so he isn't a "threat" to the MC.
I'd love for these games to show more of all kinds of friendships. The female best friend doesn't have to be secretly in love with him, hell make her super hot and like girls only (and be prepared for a few uhm, comments). Let potential LIs still be friends with the MC if he's chasing someone else, and don't let them fade into the background.
Ok, I think I've vented enough for now
