is there a harem, one of 3 route or 1 girl relations in this game?
Just finished my second playthrough, activating v.8.5... I have given this title as a good example of what I see as a true harem game before. However, the definition of "harem" gets pretty twisted and changes based on whom you ask on this site. So, I'll simply give you the details and let you decide...
Currently, as of version 0.8.5, my MC has Jessica (aka Jessy or Jess), her mother Tracy, Rachael (aka Rai) and the bartender Ashley in his active list of sex partners, many of whom also have sex with each other. MC is also currently romancing Kat, her niece Katy, Oxana and Larisa from the coffee shop and a few other ladies, the farthest MC has been with these ladies is heavy flirting with all of them and oral sex/foreplay with all but Larisa. He is also flirting with and romancing Willow, Piper his tattoo artist and some of their clients. Additionally, MC has had sex with Juanita and her daughter at the hotel where they work and MC and Jessy live. I'm likely forgetting someone, apologies ladies... But, these are all open, honest relationships where all the ladies know about each other or at least that MC is in an open relationship with Jessy who encourages him to be with other women and recruits many of them herself. Some of these ladies seem to be one time affairs, like MC having sex with two of Jessy's friends before MC and Jessy headed off to California. So, I'm not even going to try to count them all other than saying MC is actively involved with at least six women building long term, casual, sexual relationships with them. He is diligently working on increasing that number. IMHO... yeah, that's a harem concept.
Your choices do affect how the story plays out. If you make the right choices you can have all the available girls and I am sure that there will be more opportunities as the game progresses.
That said, this game is NOT a mere fuck romp... there is a LOT of hot, steamy sex but the focus is on the characters and the main story. The characters are realistically flawed humans, each with their own past trauma that helped form them into the people they are at the onset of the story and they each have believable character arcs that progress with the story. There is a ton of great story that unfolds through the dialogue. The sex scenes are not just forced in and do not dominate over the story. I highly recommend Long Road Home as one of the very best AVN titles I have played to date.
Hope this helps. Adventure ever on my friend, Phat
