yeah i wish it was in the game when it popped up in my first playthrough and it didn't make since that there was a popup and only 1 option
what about Kelly? any sign of that being denied?
- Thread starter baconsmoke
- Start date
what about Kelly? any sign of that being denied?
Nope, Kelly seems to be a "newer" addition at least from the scripts I see.
My guess is that the ultimate tension was supposed to be between Anna and Lacey and instead it shifted to Kelly and Lacey.
Edit: I just went through the files.
The story should have branched differently.
Lacey is way more sane and loving, the fille with no NTR is branded as "good", I guess that hadn't enough shock value for the author so he has to ruin the image of lLacey and MC further for the readers.
Making Lacey relapse on K was real a bad story choice, erasing the work and the words that she hated the whole thing and wants to be better, pllus she becomes a total unhinged whore in the eyes of everyone.
MC is pushed even more in the spineless trope, damage or not, the way he agrees on everything is really silly, "Oh you'll be disappointed in me if I don't let you fuck other people and we have to stay together and work things out the hard way".
The week is skipped in the "lost" scenes, MC and Lacey say goodbye and then
Considering that you lose "good guy" points by sharing Lacey I think the original idea was more akin to this:
BAD NTR/Cuck: MC is disgusted by Lacey - Agrees to share her - Shares her like a subslut while denigrating her - Lacey suffers because she is treated similarly as she was in college but stays with MC or something along those lines.
NTS: Lacey gives MC a free pass, probably without her having to do anything on her trip and organizes with Anna to go and fuck MC, MC can either fuck her or not (this loses points with her), and we skip to the end of the week, no Damian on sight.
This would have been matching very well with Lacey will to have MC experience things so he can recover some of the time he lost waiting for her.
It's healthy, Lacey says love fillled things such as: "There's nothing I wouldn't give to you."
This looks like a missed chance to make Lacey look good and not only talk, I guess the amount of shock value there wasn't enough
Good: nothing happens on the week, Lacey and MC probably stay loyal to each other until the last event?
Jared was probablly a close case by that point, this explains why MC forgives Christine and Veronica so quickly, he was never angry with them in the first place (there is no sexting with Veronica as well, which was super out of place too) it was just added in the rush to add more shock value.
It would have been great, since the whole Jared fiasco made absolutely no sense, from the threat to Bella to a fucking security guard so retarded that will sell company secrets for bikini pics.
Damn I went from being super excited to be a bit disappointed that the author discarded such great choices and experiences.
No wonder folks want to kill Lacey on sight, the author made her nice then corrupted her to the core.

Honestly, for an initial release, this was really long (which is a good thing).
I’ve been playing it on and off for two days now, and I just finished it. And man… I’m wiped out. Totally drained.
There’s just bad stuff happening non-stop, one thing after another, and no real break from it. It got seriously exhausting.
I’ve played a ton of these games, but I don’t think any of them ever hit me this hard emotionally.
I read through the thread up to page 15 and I’ll probably keep reading more later.
Not gonna say much about the characters — most of what I think has already been said, and I agree with pretty much all of it.
I do wanna leave a proper review later, but I need to recharge first.
This game really got into my head — messed up my sleep and everything.
But hey, I finally finished it... maybe now I can actually get some rest.

And there you have it, the author is too good for her story not to have something like this planned! And yes, that's why a few posts ago I said it was a shame no additional choices regarding Lacey's decisions were planned....now, as you say, I consider her an incurable, sex-hungry slut. I know Lacey is selfish to the highest degree, but apparently, and I mean apparently, she loves the MC... so the scenarios he had planned were going in the right direction in terms of the choices "we, the reader," could make so that we could really try to "save" her instead of this whole Damian thing that we couldn't even stop or at least reduce the impact. I hope the author takes this into account in the next act, or else this story will end up as a purely NTS relationship (which the MC doesn't want) or even NTR/NTS, and all in all, this story won't be, as the author says: "an NTR story for people who don't like NTR," but an NTR story with a bad ending for everyone.Nope, Kelly seems to be a "newer" addition at least from the scripts I see.

No wonder folks want to kill Lacey on sight, the author made her nice then corrupted her to the core.
The author decided to go with a sort of cuck path, to justify some sharing later I don't know.
After the Damian event MC expllains how hurt he is and conventientlly tells Lacey, who he is extemely angry with, that he gets hard seeing her like this.
Lets recap: A man who is almost driven to suicide, who is jealous and scared of losing the person he loves, angry after seeing his betrayal (with his friends forcing him to, while he is having a mental breakdown) takes time out of his day to underline that he is aroused by all of this.
I hope you all see how out of character the whole thing is and how the "emotional growth" which is nonexistant is actually related to MC accepting everything while laying on the ground so it is easier to walk all over him.
The emotional growth from MC is saying that is normal for couples to have the woman go and flirt and dance with other men.
I am not even joking, this is underlined as "what normal couples do" BUT wait the author also makes MC and Lacey say that all straight men are bad and predatory!
Again utter confusion and critical theory stuff showed down our throat, it is not normal for your wife to go and dance with other men in a place like a club, it is not normal for her to flirt with random people and it is especially not normal when the wife knows how her husband feels about it.
Asking for your feelings to be validated is not being a "Tyrant" like the MC often calls himself while being walked on by her in every possible situation, it is just a sign of respect for your partner.
Even in the "secret" files the author has MC admit that thinking that love and sex are connected is a bad thing, which then invalidates all the stuff Lacey says about sex being fantastic with MC cause they love each other.
You need to choose a side my man, it is either a good thing or a thing to expunge from your system and see sex as just sex.
Because the author sends these 2 messages which are incompatible, because if sex with MC is special because they love each other, that love and sex are intertwined and it is good thing that should make MC forget of all the whoring Lacey did, then also MC feelings that love and sex go hand in hand is good and to be cherished.
But then we are told that MC is wrong and it shouldn't be like that, so is it a good thing or a bad thing? Or since the author is drunk on critical theory is it good for women but bad for men to feel that way?
This point is made for MC to "forgive" Lacey's past, but it just doesn't work because it misses the main point of what we are told about MC feelings: being ghosted and ignored for 1460 days.
Lacey being an unhinged whore thanks to Mia just make it worse, it would have been terrible for MC even if Lacey had a couple Bfs and had a normal life.
The abandonement and worthlessnesses felt by MC are the key, even if Lacey had only Stephen with a "ph" and Isaac as partners for example the damage would be very similar.
MC would still resent them and resent Lacey, rightfully so.
Now, Lacey is selfish but she doesn't only appear to love the MC, she does, then wether her feelings of need and gratitude towards him and misunderstood and perceives as love I cannot know.
The problem the author created is that Lacey is willing to do whatever MC commands her, but then proceeds to do the opposite every single time, this weakens the message and perception of Lacey's love.
It almost completely invalidates it, so is Lacey willing to do whatever MC wants to make him happy? She doesn't want to fuck other men as this hurts her profoundly and she will do it if MC wants, but then when it comes down to everything else MC is ignored or being told that he is wrong somehow.
So I don't blame you for having that point of view, because the author fumbled and you have to look carefully and try to understand this disconnection to make Lacey redemption make sense.
Since I cannot make a post without saying this, Mia sucks and everyone should be furious at her.

This story can go in many different directions from here, it depends on how many branches the author will make, except netorare.
The last part of act 1 was too rushed imo. Why does all of this need to happen in a week? Wednesday Isaac, Thursday Will, Friday Jealousy date wtf? Why not give em a break? A single sentence like: the next month was perfect, they were a loving couple like mc always has imagined, but no, it has to go bam,bam,bam. It doesn´t make sense, why would he even bring up the idea with this jealousy date in the first place? He hates it to be jealous and clearly can´t cope with it. And the worst part is, during the date all cardinal sins did happen: kissing,blowjob,creampie WTF? Why not simply a handjob and to be more extreme anal?
Oh, and btw this jealousy date is really important, because you can "earn" 1 or 2 ntrs points. So players who don´t want to share her
in any way should end this at the first possibility.

Many things feel rushed and the author suggests that going until the end on the last scenario is for "emotional growth".
I am getting fucked but you're here with me so it is all for you is not emotional growth, it's a cuck fetish.
I agree a lot with you about having events to close to each other and MC proposing the jealousy date is related to his self loathing, the author wants us to see him as the bad guy because he cannot accept that he has been abandoned while his wife was polishing cocks a few miles away.
You could argue that MC is the one that sees himself as the bad guy and other characters tell him he is not but every time the discourse is "no one sees you as a bad guy BUT what you are feeling is wrong", perpetuating MC self loathing.
When Lacey fucks up royally he gets angry but he is the asshole, cause she fucked up out of love (this isn't always true but the gaslighting is real).
So in all of this mindfuck the MC thinks he doesn't give enough to Lacey (unending love for 13 years is apparently not enough) and wants to give her more, thus the proposal of the jealousy date.
That doesn't make sense from what we know about the MC, but can only assume all the manipulation and self loathing got to him.
I wanted to make a point about the MC flirting, but maybe that is a cultural difference and americans really flirt like this, because as I see it it is mostlly cringe and sometimes super creepy.
Like picking someone by the chin, getting close to her face and spout princess crap as an executive in front of colleagues?
If the two points were not bad enough, the rest would seal the deal.
He makes Jared flirting seem almost enlightened.

I am thinking about The clean slate, and what could be a good opening to act 2, not sure if most players agree.
Here it is: There should be a divorce and seperate appartements, since being married is a big hurdle for the mc.
That would really be a clean slate, and go from there. This still gives many options on how to go on.
She already wants mc to go on dates with others, but doing his while beeing chained in a marriage doesn´t work.
It would always be shortlived, there would be no risk for Lacey. This would give him a fair chance of exploring what he really wants.
This would give Kelly a real opportunity to work, a competition for all of them and it could go in almost any direction.
I´d say the most realistic perspective would be a polyamourus relationship in any constellation. There could still be ntrs but it also could mean a harem/cuckquean relationship. He could still decide to be with or even remarry lacey, there are so many possibilities and i really hope the author will give us different choices/routes.

I hope the author woulld go with the more cuckquean route, even if it hurts Lacey because she is scared that MC will fall in love with someone else (MC and Lacey are scared of the same thing with different strokes).
This is what should have happened in the week away thing.
Why wouldn't the dating while married work? As long as the author doesn't push more cuck fantasies in a tit for tat scenario, MC is already desensitized to the thing and is enjoying it and it could open the possibillity for a harem scenario.
We have plenty of hints from the choices that you can have LIs, including Laccey, and you can share or not share them.
For Lacey obviously this was a thing that was probably for the old build and never corrected, since you are forced 2 times to share her.

I disagree with your last statement.
Damian wasn´t sharing, it was cheating, and you don´t have to share her with the bold fuck, he can end it right after the kissing.
MC agrees to share Lacey with Damian (not with him specifically) at the beginning and only goes back on his agreement when he thinks Lacey would have a different experience without drugs, even then he caves in and gives only some rules,
It was cheating because Lacey fucks up else the player is forced to agree to the share.
We cannot see cheating and sharing only when a creampie is involved, even being a bit frisky with a person outside of your relationship is sharing/cheating.
But I can see how in a porn game logic that wouldn't be considered sharing, in the world of complex (sometimes faux complex) emotions the author is building I cannot see it in any other way.
MC is letting a random man kiss his wife (he doesn't want to, this is why I mean forced), with kissing being very important to MC and super super super important to Lacey, which for the first time shows oral fixation tendencies after we are told a couple of times during the game.
If you want to go deeper, you can see how Llacey actually cheats on MC more times emotionally than physically, but that is another topic altogether

Lets talk about my divorce idea and why i think it is the best thing going through with.
It doesn´t mean he leaves her behind, he simply corrects the error that this marriage is. It should never have happened.
You asked why dating during his marriage should not work?
Think about Jeanette - she doesn´t want to be a homewrecker, Kelly doesn´t see a future with him cause he´s married, You is not being asked on a date because he´s married and Bethanys view of the world would never begin something with a married man.
Are these enough reasons to make sense?

I agree, the marriage should not have happened and Lacey should have not come back, it is not a happy story.
MC should have realized he was waiting for the wrong thing, because what he married is not the woman he was in love with but a selfish impostor.
That said the divorce would not work simply because neither of them want to or is even considering the idea.
How could you even see that happening in a codependent relationship? Look maybe Lacey could do it while still being attached to MC for a while, MC would die inside always creating scenarios in his head and being paralized by fear.
Jeanette is out? (which I don't see much indication in the game, you meant Beth?) There are 15 other women at the door, and even then we are shown time and time again that there are women in game that are more than willing to play the part of the "side piece": Veronica, Christine, Anna (poor girl), Mia and with some reluctance Kelly.
My guess is that you are against or have trouble understanding the basis open relationships, I have been in some and you can absolutely date in them, hell dating is actually the tamest part of it all.
In some you might talk about your dates and maybe the sex, in others you don't.
In out case Lacey wants to inform the women directly that they have permission and also because she feels safer this way.
Then I might have misundertood what you meant.
But marriages can be open and you can be a homewrecker even if a couple is not officially married.
Being married has a very low impact on their relationship, if they were just engaged or in a romantic relationship the effects of Lacey action or of your scenario would have been the same.
They are connected at the hip, maybe you scenario would make sense in Lacey disappears and MC is able to withstand to be abandoned a second time.
They might need a fresh start but they already went through that at the beginning of the game.
Now everything is in the open, they have to face it, removing a document is not gonna do anything.

remember he does tell her in the story the lacey he loved is gone and she isn't his lacey in so many words
Remember the MC and lacey both "state" they don't want this 3 times then suddenly she does "limited" and supposedly with his approval if she can do things or not we'll see how that pans out in choices
Yup I do, but he also states he see the old lacey in her eyes yadda yadda.
The damage is done now, he wasted those years, but he still loves her anyway.
We could even say the years of the youth were not wasted because he actively saved a child even if with all the critical theory going around we have to read that "he wanted to be the hero".
Even being good and sacrificing yourself for someone else is now considered bad.
The years in college were definitely wasted, whatever Lacey was going through she made the worst decision of all, day after day.
I'm not even taking about her being the campus public toilet, which is absolutely bad, but the cut of MC from her life.
That one is something you have to make amends for the rest of your life.
The moment of Lacey doing stupid shit with that is gone, she might coerce the MC to do stuff like him going on dates and the free pass that we alll witnessed but she won't be THAT level of stupid anymore about it.
The fear is that the author will make MC a cuck, because he drop hints of MC enjoying stuff like this, the choice should be on the player if the code is to be trusted.
I see what you mean btw, MC allowing and enjoying the sharing or even using it as a "jealousy" cure is....uninspired.
If it came later, with some real character growth related to sex exploration for him, that coud make a bit more sense.
But what is there to explore sexually? Lacey takes wine bottles in her ass.
What MC would need to explore is having more human relations (he is and was a shut in but has the interpersonal skills of jesus which is pretty silly) and some "relationships".
Will that fix what Lacey has done? no.
Will this give back MC the wasted years? no.
Is it at least a minimal way to make amends? Maybe, depending on what MC is going to do.
The author (in the mind of Lacey) seem to look at it as a "get even" situation, Lacey was a public toilet so now MC should go and make some experiences even alone so he can explore.
Lets see what happens, but without all these deus ex machina decisions, MC would be fine with a quiet life surrounded by the person he loves and his friends.
What I think is crazy, is how many of the guys playing this game are against NTR (me included) There was a definite time in the game that I was just going to delete it because of Lacey's BS. But I found myself pushing through this because of the long and drawn-out Mia story. How was she always there to get these pictures anyway.
Mia - Why is a practical virgin pushing Lacey into all of these sexual situations and F-ing her up more - some BFF - This is the one thing that I have the most issues with, no one actually helped Lacey, just pushed her further and further into it.
Lacey - I like the MC have forgiven her many times in my mind. I certainly hope if she is cheating or pushing for the open relationship just so she can be with other guys, the MC can leave her. UUMMM, I'm not opposed to MC having a harem.
MC - Man up man, but he does realize the her college life happened and they were not together or ever promised to be together during that time. But the cheating thing is practically unforgivable. Not into being Cucked.
Wedding Night - I had guessed at that time during the events that something was up and her being so good at sex "for the first time". But not what came about
Jealousy - She loves him getting jealous over her actions during the jealousy date because she now has someone who really cares for her. My thoughts anyway
I really hope that this game does not go to NTR because i see it heading that way with the jealousy date, if you take the "let them continue thing", oh and why would she actually continue with what happened if you continued, during that jealousy date if she really wanted to fix things. That really was a huge step backwards in my book. I know she was trying to get MC to stop her because she was getting worked up by him getting jealous.

This is one of the situations where you need to activate your porn logic emergency button.
The Mia documentary is...lets say a plot device, pretty crude tbh but it does the job.
Absolutely even if we accept the fact that Mia was helping her to try the things that Lacey "missed out on", gangbangs are usually not in the "let's help this traumatized girl" handbook.
Plus Lacey describes most of the sex as abusive and hard on her.
Mia is literaly a monster, that used Lacey as a toy for 2 years, but hey she's 'funny' right? Lets keep her around.
She admits that Lacey came back desperate and crying every time and Lacey admits that she wanted to please Mia, her only friend, so she went through with her suggestions.
Even when Mia says she understood Lacey was a broken shell of a girl she still pimps her out to Isaac.
Because that is what it was, pimping a naive brain damaged trauma filled girl.
The author dropped the ball on this, or at least on the Mia redemption arc, but it seems he has a big issue with making his female characters face consequences.
If you want I can bash Mia for hours, just let me know.
Look, at the cost of repeating myself for the 1 millionth time, Lacey fucks up and is VERY self centered and selfish in her actions.
She does the thing that at the moment brings her the most satisfaction, no matter the consequences.
Honestly, her brain damage is written in a bit of cartoonish way, but it is not completely unbelievalbe, granted how a person like this can actually keep a job is very weird.
She never misses a day or a deadline even if from what we are told she shouldn't be able to deal with the pressure or the commitment.
Why is she obedient and non confrontational to the point of submission with everyone except MC?
But I have to say that she cares about MC deeply and will allow him to have said harem and to have all sorts of fun.
MC will be able to choose between some LIs (I don't know if all of them will be available at the same time) and share Lacey and those LIs, probably in threesomes (maybe Lacey in some shitty cuck scenarios idk people are sick).
I just went through one of the last discussions that MC has with Mia.
Mia keeps on pointing out that the problem is that Lacey had pleasurable sex with other men during college.
BZZZZT WRONG.
The actual problem MC had was being abandoned, come on we are not at elementary school where to have a relationship you need to write on a piece of paper "want to be my gf yes or no?" .
You can have relationships without telling each other that you are bf and gf.
In fact, Lacey disagrees with you, I don't know at what part of the game you are, so I won't spoil, but she definitely disagrees with your statement.
She makes some BIG statements towards the end that actually put a lot of blame on herself and clears this part about whether they where in a relationship or not.
And there, we have to assume she is telling the truth, first of all because she doesn't gain anything from the conversation and on a close second because it is a very emotional moment for the couple, none of them has anything to lose anymore.
The big elephant in the room is the fact that Lacey selfishly abandoned MC to go and 'find herself' without a word or an explanation that would allow MC to get closure and move on.
He got ghosted for four years, from a girl he knew (rightfully so, as we discover later) needed him like fish need water, a girl he dedicated his life to protect and nurture.
He stayed faithful to the relationship they had because without closure it never ended.
Was he harming himself in doing so? sure!
Should he have moved on and forget about her? yep, that would have been for the best.
Some things tho, really stay with you, I still think of the kids I helped when I was volunteering in the balkans after the war and that was for a few months, I cannot imagine how it would be for someone spending every waking hour for 13 years.
And even after all this, Mia paints him as the bad guy and the reason why Lacey lies constantly or why her brain damage is flaring.
The worst part is that MC drinks that up like it is milk in the morning and starts blaming himself for everything while bouncing his ass on a traffic cone sized butt plug.
That is where he should have a spine and understand that his feelings have value and need to be validated by the people around him, his friends and wife.
Not all of them are correct, he is wrong in being jealous of Anna and Mia, understandable for a man that made loneliness his trademark, stil wrong and unhealthy
I mean the first few lines in the game already give it away don't they?
Yes you are right, she says so herself, but she is also a bit of a drama queen, she enjoys all the strong emotions that she can suck off MC.
It coud actually be a nice dynamic if the author doesn't force his hand.
Yes the last scene was an abysmal blunder.
The jealousy date is written as an emotional growth for MC and it couldn't be more deadpan.
MC does this for Lacey but magically starts to enjoy it because we need to keep a cuck path open I guess.
This supposedly shows us that sex is just sex for Lacey (she actually complains to Mc that she doesn't want to be shared with other men) but then she is super into it to the point that she brings a webcam to have her private show.
This should also show that MC is the one that will be in control but then control is taken away from him.
Honestly the only 'reasonable' outcome is the kiss and stop, especially because they agree that Lacey is disusting for doing the deed with Morty.
I will try and remove your fears about the NTR, the whole lot of NTR here is always tied to misunderstandings.
The biggest mistake (Damian) is also a new addition, there were some scrapped paths where it wouldn't happen.
Lacey in her own fucked up way wil do what MC will make her do and doesn't want to leave MC at any cost, her life is on the line.
In one of the paths MC plans to manipulate Lacey and her brain damage, referring to Jared and Evan as amateurs.
I like both the punish and slut/bimbo path, but the best one for content and actual emotional growth is the slut/bimbo.
Again not knowing where you are in the game I won't spoil why.
