Wow! And in saying that, I mean it.
We have just finished our first run or rather first path with Lexi. We wanted it to be with Holly but it looks like we missed something. Probably the first choice when the Mc first meets Holly, then she asks him about his intentions with Lexi. We will try every girl's way, even if it is not mandatory for us to do so. It ultimately depends on the characters and many other things, so if we don't like one of the characters, we don't go that route. Here, all the characters are lovely and have an interesting background to discover. Moreover, their stories like the general plot of the game are quite plausible. Plausible to the point that some can relate with part of the story. We had read quite a few reviews and comments of the game, but as always take them with salt and pepper. Roller coaster huh? Yeah yeah, We'll see.... And we saw! Me more than my partner for that matter. Needless to say which part of this story is the most disturbing, everyone knows what, or rather who I am talking about. I was probably very naive when by avoiding choosing Cece, I thought I was avoiding drama. Having experienced something very similar, I discovered that I could still cry my heart out. Hell, I even had to take a break away from home for a few days to clear my head. I really identified with the relationship the Mc has with Cece. Suffering from empathy seems really strange, the symptoms seem to be irrational. To make a comparison, just imagine a big slap on the back while you suffer from a sunburn. Now sit in front of the TV news, and watch the bombs fall on a city on the other side of the world, and each bomb represents a great slap on your brain whose sensitivity is heightened by the sunburn. My little sister felt this for the smallest things that seem so insignificant to us, that we hardly perceive them at most. If the game is a fiction, part of this story feels lived. It seems Cece's character is modeled by the Dev's daughter. It wouldn't surprise me in the least. Anyway, we're going to wait a bit before choosing the path of another girl, because if I continue to cry, my eyes will eventually fall to the ground and break like crystal.
Now, speaking only of the game.
The title is really appropriate. It's an act of faith, once in a lifetime during a slice of life of an Mc, who too rarely is not a perfect asshole, stupid as a broom, who pervs neither more nor less than a normal guy , and not even that much, considering the number of sex bombs that revolve around him. His story begins in a fairly banal way (who has not experienced a tromatizing rupture in his life has not experienced one, in my humble opinion) and whose awakening is two-way, I mean he doesn't content himself to come out of his sack when he heard the alarm clock ringing.
NPCs....well, maybe not playable but definitely playful. Did I ever say girls were sex bombs? They are ready to explode of course, but their physique is only part of their charms. We learn to know them through different little scenes, especially during the interludes between two chapters. Long story short, the characters in the game are all different in both physical and mentality, which makes them all the more interesting. The story. Here, no Mc who builds a harem in his high school by blackmailing his main teacher, and\or who pervs on his benevolent mom, his bitchy big sister and his mischievous little sister, Nope!
Here, it's a guy who wakes up one morning, realizes he's wasted enough time complaining about something he has no control over, and armed with his best friend, will meet unexpected people. coming from different backgrounds who also have their own problems. First befriending them, they will live an extraordinary adventure thanks to an opportunity that we can only dream of. Lives that intersect, come together, to finally resume their journey separately, but having all taken back their lives in hand. A real rollercoaster full of strong emotions. Personally, I laughed a lot but also cried, and in between a range of emotions as colorful as a rainbow. Did I say we liked the game? Yeah, it's really a nice surprise that didn't leave us indifferent.
Con: you need a fucking machine gun pc to fully enjoy this game

Yeah, Holly's points were only 22 when she offered the Mc coffee in the hospital, but when Holly questioned the Mc when they first met, "Do you like Lexi?" I answered "I do. Very much" (Holly +15 ♥ ), instead of answering, "I'm conflicted (*thinks* Wow. You are just... wow)" (Holly +20 ♥ ). That's where I screwed up cause it needed at least 23 ♥.

It's left purposely ambiguous. Could be his grandfather too

This guy puzzled us too. We expected to find an explanation for his presence and the meaning of his remarks, but we finally concluded that it is about a guy facing an unavoidable situation, and seeing the Mc in conflict in his thoughts, gave him some advice metaphorically, to help him find answers in a way.
There is another guy for whom we didn't understand the presence. The one who seemed to spy on the Mc from afar when he was at Lexi's mansion in Los Angeles. The guy looked like a soldier or a mercenary

Iirc that guy works with Steph, if you don't bring her with you to Lexi's, she appears on the background in that scene escorting the old man.
She is also the one spying on MC if you left her at the bar

So the spoilers have already been posted so I won't bother being coy either.
In the commentary track Drifty explains that not telling everyone's backstory and what happens to them in the future or everyone's connection to everyone else is on purpose. The story is a snapshot of an extraordinary summer in the lives of all these people. HOWEVER, he also acknowledges there are plenty of clues to be had, and anyone that thought that the old man in the park "shared some DNA with the MC" would be very much on the right track.
Also, pretty sure the big guy in the tree and escorting the old man is Melvin. As stated, if you're heartless enough to leave Steph behind (or went for that last Steam achievement) It's Steph in the tree instead of big guy, and she's there when the old man is getting in the van.
EDIT: Also, if you leave her behind, she answers the call she ignores if she joins you, so you kinda know she's back with Homeland anyway.

Ooookay... So it happens or rather you only see it if you're heartless and leave Steph behind at the bar. Yes I was also thinking (or rather Minou was thinking) of Melvin, jealous and trying to corner the Mc. But not knowing his face, we had doubts. As for the old guy in the park, yeah, the Mc's dad being Afghan, that guy could be the Mc's grandfather. So from what you're saying, even by choosing Steph, she won't reveal any of this mystery? This could be a serious cliffhanger for another game here

Apparently that's unlikely. This game was as much a catharsis for Drifty as it was his debut into AVNs. On the other hand, canonically it is at least slightly connected to the new game u4ia, so it's possible that a return of the HomeIand agents we know may show up.
As far as Steph not revealing the mystery, if she goes with you she doesn't know that you're still being watched (at least, not BEFORE she gets back in the game). She doesn't appear to notice she's being watched if you choose her, and she's not there in the park to see anything, so until you meet her again in LA, the only time she could have found out anything is the time between leaving Lexi's and meeting you at Homecoming (i don't actually remember if she has another appointment if she's back with you at that point ... I think she mentions something about unfinished business with Homeland if she's not, but ...). Either way, unless she's "back in the fold" she's still probably not trusted when it comes to the MC, so would unlikely be told the surveillance is ongoing. And if you reject her completely, you never see her again.
Okay, my brain is starting to make fractals of all this. Time to ignore posts for at least an hour ...

Ok, so I've finished the game and have played through the Lexi, Holly, Lexi and Holly, Linda and Cece paths. My clicking finger got too worn out retracing steps to complete those lines and I had to stop before completing the Steph and Kira/Robin lines, but I will. I loved the game, enjoyed the writing and the humor and would recommend it to anyone. Having said that, I have two things:
1) I really liked the Cece character, and I can understand the flawed nature being appealing, but for the life of me I don't get the fanatical love that seems to follow her around and don't understand what the people see in her that would have her topping out the brackets of that mibsmeebe thing over the current universe of AVN women. Granted, I'm not sure if that poll was a representative sample or not and there may have been some voting irregularities on it based on some of the BaDik comments, but whatever. I liked every single one of the characters in this game, but she wasn't even my favorite in this game, not the funniest or the prettiest (understanding this is very subjective) even though she is arguably THE central character. There is obviously a depth to her that is uncommon in AVNs. I feel like I'm just not seeing something that other people see. I'm sincerely hoping that some of you guys in this thread who are likely the most invested can tell me what you see for a different perspective.
2) How could Samantha not have been called Leticia? I mean, c'mon...
