It's genuinely one of my favourite scenes, just for the gut punch element of it. I thought it was very well done, and is the sort of thing I wouldn't mind seeing more of in games where you can romance multiple girls at the same time. Sooner or later, someone's going to find out, and chances are they also know each other.
Absolutely, it catches us by surprise because we've played other AVNs and well they tend to let you have your cake and eat it, confronting you on your decisions is extremely rare.
Typically the girls inside a game is an all you can eat buffet, you can fuck every girl around with impunity and they never say anything about it.
You still get a choice near the end to pick your favorite.
And that's when they don't agree to a freaking harem
Getting confronted by Layla-Alexis shocks you because it goes against AVN standards and establishes the tone and expectations of this game.
In any realistic setting this was clearly a situation of stretching believability waaaaay too far, dating 2 sisters and expecting that they wouldn't find out, Nyx did well to establish that "it can(and will) happen here".
Nikki was supposed to die but she's still here so Iris can become LI
We should just play the game instead of worrying if "character X" can have a good ending.
Good old "it's the journey, not the destination".
I already made a post on this, i don't think Nyx will ever come out and say "Iris/Val/Gabi have been added to the official LI list" because saying this ruins the mistery, it's useless worrying about this "list".
They might already be endgame options, personally i think they deserve it(and they are getting more screentime than certain "official LIs"), but Nyx won't openly state this.
If anything i think Nyx wishes she could take back the moment she gave the list.
