Good update! After the craziness of the last update, it was nice to see the pacing slow down so we could catch our breath and regroup with everyone.

Still not a fan of the whole asshole entity inside of me thing but it was limited to the bathroom scene so not too big a deal. If it was just the entity or just the memory loss it would be one thing. But the combination of the two means that we aren't even aware of the circumstances/problem. A very frustrating position where he just has to keep losing control and being confused about what happened.
Something tells me they're gonna have to learn how to coexist eventually. Regular MC is too nice of a guy to properly deal with the people coming after him, and his other side is too much of an asshole for people to side with him and be willing to help, but at least he's aware of his powers and doesn't get pushed around without fighting back like the regular MC. They may need to "join", creating the ideal MC in my opinion, a great guy, but one that doesn't shy away from fighting and maybe killing the people that's trying to do the same thing to him and his friends.

Great game. As someone who loves books and collects them like a madman (7500 books in my home library), I say that game doesn't start much better way than MC reading Frank Herbert's Dune (One of my favourite science fiction books). MC also having nice library :love:.

Abby became my favourite girl as soon as I saw her. Such a cutie and with the perfect cheerful attitude.

Nice to see that we can avoid sexual contacts if we wish so. I didn't fancy principal.
Byrus's mother... Damn, one of the best bodies in the VN on such a bitch.

Ellie's and Lana's favourite movie: Beauty and the Beast... I was bit disappointed when she later said that it was Disney's animated version instead of my favourite version: La Belle et la Bete (1946). Black and white version directed by Jean Cocteau. I loved it so much that I translated it from english to finnish and burned dvd to my 12 year old step-sister, so she could enjoy that fantastic movie as well.

I loved all the details on MC's room. Frankenstein posters, Jackie Chan poster (Drunken master is the best of his early movies), figurines.

What a lovely copy of a Jules Verne's The Mysterious Island. I checked what copies were available for sale and didn't find that. Seemed to be rarity.

The island in the VN seems much more fantastic than in the Verne's book, though. The book was essentially surviving story about how group of men start building "civilization" on deserted island with all kinds of inventions. There was that cave, but it was more of a mystery and scientific than fantastic. Can't wait what we find on VN's island...

The other beautiful book in the MC's pile... Frederick Schwatka's The Children of the Cold, 1899 print.

And if anyone's interested, the bottom book in the pile with beautiful golding on cover and on the side was Oliver Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefield, 1855 print.

Isabella's favourite movie: The Umbrella's of Cherbourg. Masterpiece. I wasn't much into musicals until I saw this one and noticed that singing delivers feeling even better than speech.

I'm not much into chubby girls, but I gotta say that Mallory was lovely. She had nice room also.

She reminded me about what happened year ago. I might have lost chance to get my own "Mallory". I was walking to car from shop (tight jeans and good ass), when bit similar woman, 30-40y, redhead, bit chubby, no glasses though, ambushed me and asked if I could give her a ride to another shop. I didn't fancy driving unknowns around and said that I'm not going into that direction. Only later on, I thought that it might have been attempt for hitting me, asking for coffee later on for a reward and so on... I've never seen such an intensive gaze like she had.

Ellie reading Aleksander Beljajev's The Amphibian Man. I also have that in my bookshelves. Haven't read it yet. Seen the movie though.

April reading Brandon Sanderson's The Well of Ascension. Nice! It's a good book.

Eww, what were those jarred child bodies in Lily's hut???

So, I loved the game. Outside of book content also. Great girls (and others, I didn't mind gloryhole scene either). Interesting plot. I will definitely continue following this.

Getting this Error after the Phone Call with Mallory ends with no option to ignore so i'm kind of stuck here.
Just downloaded the game again to be sure but still getting the same error.

```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
ScriptError: could not find label 'D3Calls2Menu'.

EDIT : Well, fuck me for not liking Mallory i guess, tried on another playthrough where i chose all the bold options for her path and it works, not really great but at least i can look at the rest of the content for right now

Dev needs to make frankie being futa optional, just like WVM dev did with shauna.
She's not futa she's trans, and that's part of her story, which is the story dev wants to tell. I'd rather she was at least post op, personally from a sexual interest standpoint, but that's not the story dev is trying to tell. Either move on or suck it up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't have to be in a romantic relationship with Frankie, correct? She can just...exist in your game as a friend?

So if a trans girl is not your cup of tea, don't romance her. I personally chose to romance her, but I most likely won't pursue anything with Juniper's mother because that character doesn't appeal to me.

What I won't do is tell the dev that she needs to make Juniper's mother into something that she's not in order for me to romance her.

Or is your problem that Frankie exists at all and the MC has story interactions with her?
