Idk, it feels like there is just a sense of maturity to the storytelling here, that you only find in the best games. I'm just playing the throuple path, so can't comment on the others.
While Alex has been in love with the MC for a while, and he needed a little while to realise he loved her too, I'm really enjoying how Isa is slowly being brought in to the relationship small bit by small bit. It's probably a difficult balancing act, the pacing of that, but for me it works very well.
I am very happy for you with Alex man , hoping you live happily ever after , in Far Far away from my Isa.:p:sleep:

I've clicked and clicked out of BJ's. Never once have I stopped or interrupted a good cunny. To be brutally honest, if it is a Lesbian scene it's 100x better, and if it is Lescest, well the sky is not the limit.
I don't mind BJs, but it's not really my cuppa. Dicks aren't my cuppa. I often play as a female MC when possible, because I really like it when ladies have fun together, and we're definitely on the same page re lescest. :)
I don't mind some mild playful spanking (nor I think, does Alex), but anything rougher than that isn't something I enjoy.

Maybe the best throuple story I've read so far. Nothing feels forced (and they should NEVER be) the relationships are evolving in front of our eyes. There's a definitive attraction between all of them and all are warming up to the idea. I find this absolutely delicious.
I do hope that the first scene with Isa, either for Alex of for the MC (or both), doesn't feel like cheating, it would hurt. In my mind, it should happen in a open way. Like something that it was obvious it was coming and that everyone was Ok with. In other words, it was not a matter of IF, but only of WHEN.

While I do love the idea of the throuple, I don't want to see either Alex or Isa hurt, or feeling cheated, or swindled. So far, BTT has been guiding this with a masterful hand, I trust it will continue, but, the specter of seeing pain and distrust in either of the girls (I do like them both equally) brings some undesired feelings.

Peace :)

Definitely the best one I've read.

I can imagine a scene between Alex and Isa, where the sexual tension suddenly becomes very real, surprising both of them.
It could be something simple like a friendly hug or kiss, or something a little more involved (an innocent massage of a stiff neck, whatever). But they end up actually talking instead of just being embarrassed and feeling awkward.
Not the best examples, I know, but the point is that something like that might make the two girls realise that they are becoming more than just friends and dealing with it like adults.
I'd like to avoid any sense of cheating too

He has and I'm definitely with you in trusting this will be really good.
Perhaps though, we should ease off a bit and not build up the pressure too much on poor BTT. ;)

If the story is good enough, I can truly dispense with the porn. If the story is really, really good, the porn can be insinuated and never shown and I'd be as happy as if it was shown. If the story is amazing, in depth, in scope, in well written, the porn isn't even needed or missed.

And even if this adult, even if this is visual, even if this is a novel, none of that means porn. Sex isn't porn. Sexual acts aren't porn. Sexual innuendos aren't porn. To me, there's really no porn in THIS story. There's depictions of sexual activities between consenting adults, that's just part of life, not something restricted to a pornographic setting.

Calling this porn says a LOT more about upbringings (where naked skin is taboo) than it says about this story.

I don't feel any obligation to follow hypocritical religious concepts about what is "proper" and what is "perversion" from people that did those things in secret while preaching against them in public.

I reserve the term pornography for acts that go out of the boundaries of consent, all the rest, is just sex, and sex is awesome.

Peace :)
nailed it, I usually just comment on topics like this that it's not a porn game because I'm lazy to write up something like this :ROFLMAO:

same here... most others with multiple LIs go for the harem option, or the date multiple girls but have to choose option, I have a hard time thinking of an other game where a proper throuple relationship was made well (and I play a lot of them :ROFLMAO:) Summer Scent comes to mind that does it well (but there are quite a few paths you can take there other than the dual love path)

yeah honestly I can only think of 2 other games that have the potential to make a good throuple path and not even sure if those games will have a throuple path or not. Both cases would only work well cause it wouldn't feel forced and the friendship feels very natural and realistic to me like they are friends first. Most throuples I find feel forced at the start and only near the middle or end of the game that path starts to feel less forced.

That game breaks my heart. The third girl, can't remember her name, her story simply breaks me. I had to stop playing, it was too fucking close... too fucking close.

Peace :(

A bit more trust in me, please ;) Just kidding.

And thanks all for your opinion!

That was a good example, but I haven't played it in ages, waiting for him to finish all the rework...
Athena and Heidi in Bare Witness could be good too, though I haven't explored it yet

Oh, I understand you perfectly... I myself am not a fan of breaking women's hearts, of course it may sound like that from my side. I'm not saying that a harem should exist in every game, but no, it's not about the absence of a harem or something like that, I like a game when the story is really focused on one LI's or two or three LI's... deceiving no one and living in good relationships... I like games like this sometimes, without much tension and beautiful stories and slow progress towards attitude :coffee: o_O

OK , NOW the summary conclusion of the last brillient posts is that this is a unique Great game cause the aspects of a unique game are :
1st : Great Story and story line ..................checked
2nd: great dialouge lines............................checked
3rd : great Characters and character build....checked
all other aspects like music and sex scenes can make the game better but not making a great game cause always you will find different Fetishs suits diffrent ppl
last , it is a unique great game and we all will wait your next game eagerly , thank you very much badtimetales.:love::love:
