I love that Tyrone has now come inside Ari in front of the mc on the sharing path.

And Mallory being there too made it even hotter.

I know you prefer ntr stuff Sieglinnde but you are also a damn good netorase writer too.

I have played the shit out of this game for the last several updates and I am just confused. Perhaps you can guide me.

It seems to me that no matter what path I choose, Ari cheats. If I choose the vanilla path, she is an absolute nightmare. And it turns into one of the other paths even if you choose NOT to. What am I doing wrong?

I have read the whole thread and focused on the developer's explanations of the game and the paths, including the excellent summary posted in his post HERE.

I considered the possibility that maybe the vanilla path was tied back into the NTR paths because it is not completed yet. I am starting to think that the game is working as intended. All paths lead to Ari cheating because that is who she is. She lies more on the hard NTR path but feels guilty. She lies more, confesses, and then continues to lie and cheat while feeling less guilt on the vanilla path because the pseudo-MC absolves her of that guilt. While she "loves" him, she doesn't care for him, nor respect him.

I doubt that this will be a likely outcome considering this game is really for the hardcore NTR fellas, but at this point, I would trust Mallory more than Ari. Mallory seems to legitimately care for how he feels and worries that he will be hurt by Ari's continued typical behavior. The dude should ditch Ari and just fuck Mallory because they are obviously "compatible." But that is obviously not what this story is about.

So, bottom line, is it working as intended? Am I choosing something incorrectly? Or is the vanilla path not complete? Is there some other explanation?

I'm pretty sure Ari cheats no matter what it's the basis for the whole story.

Talking about the vanilla path:
If you choose the right options, you will always be on the vanilla path... (I should change it to romance path). It is impossible for you to get lost since all the option says something like "(Vanilla route)" or "(Stay on the vanilla route)" and that's it... Ariana never cheats on the vanilla route... Never
Now, it is true that this game has its main focus on the Sharing and NTR paths... I made the vanilla route just to show that there can be a "happy" ending to their relationship, where they end up together, loving each other for what they are. Ariana (in general) is super jealous, but we see this more on the vanilla route than in any other route... The thing is that, MC likes this behaviour

Thanks for explaining it better I never played that path. I'm all about sharing lol.

And damn she looks good with Tyrone's dick in her.

Considering everything that has happened on all the paths so far, and all of the other stories this dev has written, I am pretty confident she cheats no matter what.

I saw a post where someone argued that the MC is Ariana. The pseudo-MC is just there to add flavor to the NTR vs NTS. That is a rather astute and accurate observation.

I just needed a little confirmation that I hadn't somehow screwed up my game and was getting an odd result on the "vanilla" path. The game is hot regardless. Even when I want to pussy punch Ariana and choose ANY of the other women for the poor dude, the game is still hot.

It's one of my favourite games with NTS. It takes a while, but the MC is starting to understand his desires and stuff on that path and its well written imo.

redoubt27 I have to say I am really, really impressed by your review... It pretty much seems like you catched all of what I intended to show with Let the Nightshine in, with the characters of Let the Nightshine in... I always said that there is no "truth" about a character behaviour... Like, if you want to think that Ariana is just a slut who does everything wrong, that's fine... But, my interpretation about this character was deeper than that, really... And you explained it very, very well in your review, and you pretty much explained also very well how other characters in the game behaves... I can pretty much say that we have kind of the same vision on all of this, and I am happy about that. There has been people that agrees with my vision about certain characters and people who like the game, and I really appreciate when this happens because it makes me feel I did something good when following what I wanted to do

Like Sieg said people have different views about Ari. I personally consider her a kind woman who tries to understand his fetish and occasionally makes mistakes as she learns.

Even if the game ended tomorrow I'd still love the time I spent with it and this is coming from someone who never plays honey select games.

Sieglinnde:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

All this is psychologically plausible, way more erotic than otherwise and makes for the extraordinary quality of the narrative.
But
1. isn't there also the real danger of him finally losing her to her pleasure, to the dominance of the other guy and isn't that part of the appeal for the viewer and for her boyfriends pleasure/pain, too? The commitment between the two can't simply remain unaffected even if they claim they want it to be. You can't just change the dynamics completely and keep the commitment in an abstract way on the same level. She is creating new bonds, maybe stronger bonds or bonds she prioritizes.
2. and doesn't all this change gradually and irreversibly her view of him - not in the sense of a moral judgement, but with regard to what he is, his character, what he is for her. Part of the dialogue (when she stresses the softer side of his character) hints that way. So it isn't just a play without consequences, like a fetish limited to the bedroom, but she can't view him anymore as she did before, the roles have irrevesibly changed. Even if in the beginning she used humiliating words because she wanted to get into the role for him, the pure fact she did it and how he reacted, creates a new reality for the relationship. By doing it, by saying it, she senses a new kind of power over him and she sees his kind of masculinity in a different way. By giving orders in that situation, she really gets more power and will do it next time perhaps for her own sake and will thiink about him in this new way in general.
3. Maybe it's not so much both 'learning' the fetish harmoniously together, but rather Ari suggesting its concrete form to him and nudging him more or less. Take the cum swapping practice for example - not his idea and at first meeting with his resistance or doubt. But she insists on it and brings it up until he accepts it (although you have the choice as the player, granted). So she defines the rules of the game, even if she says or thinks that she does it for him. She gets into it for her own pleasure, she likes to play the game in the way she understands it and trains him for it. She becomes, in other words, the arbiter and supervisor of his desires, not only the fulfiller. She understands and forms them better than he does, she feeds them to him, they aren't simply there in him.

I would love to love her. But all I can say is she is a lying, cheating slut who uses her boyfriend's love and naivety to feed her own perversion of his kink. She seems to legitimately want to be in a relationship with the boyfriend, but not be honest about her desires or her actions and does not want to stop any of her harmful behaviors. She has plenty of opportunities to come clean or do the right thing and only does so when it benefits her. She can't even resist having a cigarette when offered, again taking advantage of the boyfriend's trust and goodwill.

None of the women are without some severe faults in this game. Mallory does show a moment of kindness and respect when she feels she needs to tell the 'MC' the truth, but what was her motive?

I wonder what will happen in the future. Will the ex-girlfriend clear up what really happened with Tyrone? Does it matter? Will Mallory push Ariana to be a good girl or coax her into worse situations? Will any of the new women in the MC's life have a chance or are they just fodder? Will the MC hold Ari accountable or will he continue to keep his head in the sand?
