You get to set relationships at the start of the game.

It's out tomorrow. Keep reading this comment until the game is eventually released.

I almost died of laughter.
Considering it was a quote from "Anton Pawlowitsch Tschechow" who wrote a drama called "three sisters" you would have a lot of fucking to do.
Back to old proven tactics against trolls. TREBUCHETS!!!!!

I think I've figured it out. The next chapter has been ready for quite some time, but NR is keeping those lucious ladies to himself as long as he possibly can 
JK, NR you rock! When they ready, you serve them up, we'll devour your artistry!

Welp I just replayed the game again out of excitement for the new chapter
This is really about Chekhov. But not from the drama, but from his correspondence with his brother. In fact, this phrase has long since become an aphorism without reference to this writer. And no, I am not a troll. It is only a rhetorical wish to those who write comments half a page long.

Well, Anton Chekhov was referenced in the previous posts, as was his play "Three Sisters."
I think there is something to be considered about how Denise is looking at the relationship (well, lack thereof) of the MC and Macy ... one might look at near the end of Act II of "Three Sisters" as Chebutykin reflects on the loss many years prior of not marrying the mother of Andrey (the brother of the three sisters). Andrey says that "Marriage is quite unnecessary ... because it's a bore" and ;Chebutykin responds "That may be so. But then there's loneliness. However you might philosophize about it, loneliness is a terrible thing ..."
Denise has mentioned several times of her worry about the loneliness of the MC and Macy, her machinations are in an attempt to thwart the emptiness that is involved.
NR has used classic literature and art as an impetus for the story arc of this game ... perhaps we haven't considered other possible influences.

Dude, if you're not on the topic of conversation, just stand quietly to the side and don't interfere with a conversation between adults.
And this is the main reason why this novel is so appealing to people.

That is also the reason ppl write walls of text to discuss certain topics about it while we often drift apart from topic that way.
Influences are depending on what kind library ppl have at home quite alot but that would derail the thread again off topic.
The only thing that is a given is the biblical influence from "lot and his daughters" portrayed in the musem when denise and the MC visit there. Also gives Denise a way to handle the loneliness she fears for her family.
And the "bear" is clearly a influence from "The Revenant" altough the licking part clearly is from other sources.....

The art Gallery narrative really solidified this game as high-class for me. You can see the logic of the build-up and the motivations.
Game employs the logic of human emotions. Most H games just use some flimsy porn-logic.

Well I for one don't know all the references, so seeing others that get those help me deepen the apreciation I have for this game and my general knowlege. It also give my curious side a rush.
Speaking of the disclaimer, does anyone else like to pick the options to get thrown out when trying new games? The first time I usually say I'm not old enough or I can't handle the content just to see what the game does. Often the game just closes but occasionally there's something interesting.
LoML is a tough one because it offers to unlock the gallery if I troll it, and I don't want that. The game also wants me to agree to not give a terrible review if I won't meet the game on its terms.
So I got thrown out several times trying to get through in different ways without complying.
I like that the disclaimer acknowledges if someone has returned after getting booted. It's a surprisingly high effort disclaimer!
