That one hits you different (pun intended) because it's someone close to you and you would never see it coming. Finding out more about his past would presumably move him up in the list for me too though. Jason as mentioned is another - there are a few in Hillside actually. I think they are above Ethan (so far) because it's more organised, whereas Ethan feels small-time.

Jason and his group are probably where Ethan will end up if he can carry on getting away with things - part of a group trafficking hopeful models and actresses and drugging them up to be passed around on billionaires' yachts, then killing them off when they have served their purpose or if they start to resist too much. I see a lot of parallels here actually, if Ethan is seen to be at the start of that sort of journey... Putting your childhood friend through that though, that's another step on the evil staircase...

I'd agree with that. Ethan at the moment, does feel like an amateur playing at being a Big Bad Guy. Where, the Jason group is well beyond the redemption and forgivable point (for me anyway).

Not actually a villain, but the 'supposed' best friend who hits you over head with a rock and leaves you for dead in the middle of the woods because an LI likes you more than him in Dreamland is the one at the top of my list.

Putting the game in spoiler and keeping what happens defeat the purpose of a spoiler .

Ethan I could live with seeing him in prison, being someones bitch so he quickly learns how it feels.

I highly agree. I was thinking death or prison.

But you made me lean prison. He needs to feel what he made Erynn feel 100 times over.

That sucks. He beats out Zach as worst friend.

That's a good way of putting it. A step higher or a step that puts him parallel because of the deeply personal nature of his crime/s, even if he is small time.

I don't disagree with your actual premise here, but I think it's worth asking if Ethan ever really thought of Erynn as a friend even in the past. He's always acted, at least towards the MC, as though Erynn was more his possession. That's why he was such a dick to a younger kid, because Erynn actually genuinely *likes* the MC and Ethan sees it as a threat to his "ownership."

Honestly, I think it makes Ethan even worse of a person.

He is the rich kid, born with money, gets his job because his father owns the company... gets everything he wants by default.
He set his eyes on Erynn and can't understand why she wasn't ecstatic about being chosen by him, and still doesn't, he still acts like she's playing hard to get rather than hate him.
And 100% treats her as his property, and wonders why this "toy" isn't doing what he wants.

While he may have been hiding(putting a fake friendly face) this sense of possession as a teenager, we can be sure he already had it.

True. They at least started as friends, but I agree that by the time we see them again ("present day") it's more as "object" and "owner" in his eyes. In the flashback it wasn't like that, I don't think, but the seeds were absolutely there. Back then it was more the start of infatuation and then jealousy I think, then when she kept rejecting him it turned sinister because he couldn't accept that. That's my take at least.

"But I also forgave the mistake you made with Zane."????

Full narcissist delusion right there from Ethan. Plus he thinks having three "normal" dates with Erynn will be enough "romance" for her to want to fuck him - never mind the abuse and blackmail.

Given what he is as a person i doubt he was ever genuinely friendly, i suspect something more akin to pretend to be nice and friendly to get close to the object of his desire.
He sets his targets on her because she most likely was the prettiest, most desired girl in school and getting her would make him the baddest MOFO, her constant denials just made him more obssessed.

With him getting older and learning he could get what he wants by flexing his power better than with his "charms" his approach changed.
With that said the fact that he still thinks she's playing hard to get is unbelievable.

How deep inside his own fantasy can a person be?

Any eta for update?

im guessing December maybe November if the last day isn't super long to develop. It looks like it's getting close but from the last dev log was finishing up the last scene of day 2 and there is still the entire day 3 to do

Yes, this is more along the lines of my own thinking. He never treated Erynn as a genuine friend, even in the flashback scenes. He was only interested in her as an object to possess. An accessory to show everyone in the world how great he is. He was "nice" to her because he thought it would make her like him, and when she liked MC better Ethan responded with bullying and threats.

nice one, would actually piss my pants at that one

and give even more reason to beat his ass.

Oh, he must be an assface then, because I beat his face 50+ times against the doorframe....( in my defense,I didn't wear my glasses )
