And even when they are pre-scribed correctly they might not be the medication the person actually needs. Psychiatrists (they're the ones who can prescribe stuff, psychologists don't, they're more to talk to and try to put your thoughts into a more managable perspective) still have little use of taking bloodsamples, though technology is gladly slowly moving in that direction.
They might for example find that your dopamine levels are low, but, heyho, they probably already guessed after the first three questions, and that doesn't explain why those levels are so low, so they have to rely on interviewing their patients to figure out why their dopamine level is low, classifying when their feelings change and how they change, to figure out what step might be missing in its production or whether the stuff is broken down too fast by the body.

The other option would be taking a brain tissue sample, which isn't exactly a safe procedure for the patient. I really hope there will be some breakthroughs with the blood tests soon, to quicker identify the exact nature of each problem, and better finetune the necessary prescriptions.
We found some good ones. No complaints. The first psychologist was absurdly bad. I knew much more than her. The second seems great.

After i finally found a quiet moment to play the update i can only say one thing.
My head is so full of thoughts and emotions i have to work on it.

Thank you Drifty, and my compassion in your loss.

One thing i can say. You turned a+ tier porn game into horrible reality that leaves a trashy taste in my mouth. As a previously suicidal person . Depression is heriditary. Its in the genes. There is no cure for it. I disagree that suicidal thoughts come abrutly but rather its an accumulation of negative thoughts that is like a ticking time bomb. If you really care for the person you can see the signs but you dont have time to notice it. And you really need to look hard. And eventually you will notice it. The only thing you need to do is stick by their side. You didnt even need to do anything else just be by their side. People cure other people . Getting hospitalized for covid19 before i planned to kill myself is a blessing in disguise. I was gasping for air not knowing whether i will live or die, alone in the room with only health care workers going in and out of your room made me look back on my life. And there is a single thought that resonate in my mind. I dont wanna die from covid19. It awoken my hidden fighting spirit to pull through no matter what sht life throws into me. I am a fairly negative person i used to only think of negative things 100% of the time but now i think of 99 % negative things and i keep that 1% of postive thought in my head and that is enough. Killing off cece without a way out is really bad thing. I wish you gave us a way out of this predicament. There's no such thing as 100% hopeless. Even if its 0.00000000*****1 . There still that 1 at the end of the decimal. Please change the ending of cece please. For my sanity

I'm dreading the moment when the next release drops, and all those people who couldn't see the just shy of saying it out loud hint at the end of this chapter that Cece didn't die will start claiming that Drifty buckled to fan pressure and changed his mind.

DriftyGames when I saw the preview of Cece in the last update I could nt believe that you were going to toy with our emotions again. I was thankful of the warning page - I could nt face it late on Saturday night and had to come back to it on Sunday afternoon. It still hit me as hard as I was expecting / fearing. I needed time to process.

A further day later, my emotions are more on a even keel. I can now take the time to thank you for sharing that moment with us - I hope that writing it down helped your personal healing process even if just in a small way, and if it gives rise to greater understanding, even if just for a few of those who took the time to read it, then it hopefully will have been worth it.

Thank you

Not my cup of tea. Too vanilla. I love romance and deep feelings IRL, but in the game I want more spicy moments and eroticism. Although some of the scenes look pretty hot, there is too much TRAGEDY and lovely dovely things.
However, the story is not bad.

I played the Cece path and was hesitant at playing through 6, because of some of the other posts I have read, but i have, and I have not read anything that hit me so hard emotionally and brought me to tears. The writing in this episode was "real" and so damn good. The impact it has with the visuals makes this the number one VN out there. Also, if the Dev had not gone through what he has, it would not have had the impact it did. I really hope the other updates have this intensity as well but also some happiness for alternative endings.
Now I have to play the other paths, I think Lexi or Linda next but do not know yet which one.

DriftyGames No Retreat, No Surrender? I watched that movie a bunch as a kid. Almost no one else I have ever met actually has heard of that movie, unless you are some crazy Jean Claude Van Damme fan. Awesome reference!

DriftyGames , damn..you made a grown man cry...again. I don't know what happened in your life or what you're going through AND I understand I'm nobody to you, but if you need to talk or to vent, never hesitate to DM me.

Never forget there are people that care about you and love you. You're not alone.

Thank you for your work. I didnt feel smth so strong for a while.
My head feels heavy tho, after what I've just seen. Need to rest.

Please stay safe and have a nice day !

Cece was the first LI I went for, so beautifully written, and I feel like Drifty did such a good job capturing mental struggles.
Then I went for Lexi and god damn it most of episode 6 made me enjoy Cece even more, the ending was soul crashing.

Thank you Drifty, for a surprisingly beautiful and powerful experience, and that dreadful feeling of eagerly waiting for an update.

I saw recommendation for the game in some other thread, and I thought I'd check this briefly before I go to sleep, and ended playing through all night to 9AM. Luckily it was my free day from the work. And I gotta say I loved it. I can remember only couple games before, where I have gotten emotional like with this one. Well done.

Great, quite realistic writing, made me play this differently than I normally do (total manslut, going after every pussy). There were some women that I wasn't interested based on their looks, but also some equally great women, from which it was really hard to choose. I really wanted to help Cece. Linda's one sided love was so cute that I wanted to reward her for it. Stephanie was so hot. But I ended up with the Lexi as a combination of looks and personality. Even though Holly was even prettier. I'll really have to replay some to see if threesome is available.

And I hope there will be content with the sis. It's not rare to have close relatives that have been separated for a long time to fall in love with each other. Though I don't see much similarity in their looks in this case, but perhaps lure of the forbidden feelings will be enough (If creator is willing to start making patches).

Ahm. It's not partially based on a true story, is it?
If by "it" you mean this update specifically, then yes it is, a personal tragedy in the author's family, one that is very emotionally wrenching (and on a very personal level for me), though Drifty assures us that we haven't seen the last of a certain someone.
