VN Ren'Py Love & Jealousy [Act 2] [Professor Amethyst Games]

[anongamer1983]

Have we considered that the MC might have had PTSD a lot earlier than depicted?
What if he saw one of Lacey’s videos back in Junior Year and blacked out and forgot about it?
We do have him saying something hurtful to Anna and scaring her off at that time but due to a seeming fugue state, doesn’t remember what it was

Yeah, it was considered. It was even considered as a before prom thing. We just don't know enough yet to know for sure

 

[CrysusPariah2]

Cheat lol.

Just wanted to be sure you meant wife stealing, and weren’t using it as a blanekt term to avoid confusion

 

[anongamer1983]

So the suicide route could be a future possibility, I don't discount that and there is a convo in act 1 that explores what bothMC and Lacey would do if one of them died.

I think it defeats the current narrative of Lacey giving back to MC and trying to improve, but it could fit if this narrative fails, so the only way Lacey can give something back to MC is to remove herself from the equation.
It would be stupid since MC would crumble as he crumbled before, but this time he would not be "aloce" (I have my own toughts about how alone MC is).

Also what NO HAREM mean? no polyamory with MC at the center? or no fwb around? why spend so much time develloping the character relationships if that wouldn't be the case? maybe they will all move on?



It is a bug, there is another one during king weekend that has anna answer MC instead of Lacey, my game file is mostly all fixed, I can post it here later as a unofficial patch.

From what I saw, it's Lacey + one of the girls, but you won't have all the girls

Yes I meant unavoidable, so netorare, not sharing/swinging etc etc.

 

[Fmedic]

When did the Prof say no NTR?
And for the context of this game, as everything hurts MC, i am including netorase, swinging and hotwifing under the umbrella of NTR

I have my own opinions about anything NTR - but who wants to hear that.
The humiliation/cheat/cuck was and is the worst that Lacey could ever do, so that's out of the way

actually the dev’s own statement:

“If you really like NTR and enjoy the MC being humiliated/cucked/whatever then you probably won't have fun with this game.”

That line honestly aged like milk.
Because if you're a fan of emotional masochism, humiliation, degradation — even the slow-burn psychological kind — then this game is exactly what you’re looking for. It’s textbook cuckoldry, just dressed up in trauma, metaphors and literary self-seriousness.

You’ve got:

• An MC that’s passive, broken, and emotionally dependent
• A female lead whose sexuality is constantly externalized and removed from him
• Scenes of explicit humiliation, often orchestrated or witnessed
• The classic emotional imbalance of love vs. desire
• And an overarching structure where every major sexual/romantic beat centers on the MC being sidelined, excluded, or shattered.

So no — the dev didn’t say “there won’t be NTR.”
He said it’s NTR for people who don’t like NTR.

So yes — if you love MC being humiliated/cucked/whatever? You’ll love this game.
Maybe even more than if it wore the label proudly.

i think the no harem tag just means that there is not going to be a version of events, where the MC moves into a McMansion with ALL his girls and they live happily ever after

Polyamory is clearly on the table

 

[Fmedic]

Prof said it'll be based on choices if I remember correctly.

There are no real choices in this story, except one that you can avoid. the rest are unavoidable.

Bu...bu....b....but...we are! All for the bargain basement price of 300k!

There will be, it is indicated in the game, such as when choosing Jamie or not.
The dark mfantasy will come back and there is sharing.
MC asks what Lacey would do for him in the slut scenes and the menu indicates that slut route doesn't FORCE any sharing.

Additionally, it's literally been stated that good-guy score will affects what happens and the endings

Really hope the routes get developed on a bit more for the next update

For sure, so little difference between them currently and that path choice was a long time ago now (though at least the bimbo flag is set now I suppose).

Which is why I said a couple of days ago, there was talk about where he would finish this Act...supposed to be a shorter story. Way it is going, it needs at a minimum another 3 or 4 updates...at least.

There should have been a "WTF" choice

Less than my first small flat, fucking hell.

Additionally, it's literally been stated that good-guy score will affects what happens and the endings

This is what is stated:
"Author's note: Your 'Good Guy' score allows you to make a certain number of asshole decisions in the game."
"The score will drop based on how bad of a decision it is."
"It can also increase if you make good decisions."
"Have fun using your points for whatever you want."
"However, if you let it drop to zero, you will get a game over/bad ending."

I cannot reconcile it with what you are saying, could you please post the text?

Also, "asshole decisions" is a wild take even for the author, so the slut path is there to help MC go through his pain, but he needs to do it nicely else he is an asshole.
Holy shit, if I put the pain there, the person in front of me can work through it in any way they want and need and they wouldn't be assholes.

You lose your first points when you have no info on Lacey and you just have the messages and some weak explanations from her.
MAYBE and just MAYBE, MC would be justified in considering her a human toilet without being considered an asshole? because at that time he is SPOT ON.

This ties again with the fact that women cannot and should not face consequences in this game, making them face them means being assholes.
Not a great vision of the world.

Yeah the routes were always considered "additional content" and I don't mind, but the way they appear in act 2 is disappointing, Slut path should be really focusing on the past, amends and giving back (even recaiming but that is a immensely stupid concept that I leave it to the cucks) while punish should focus on harsh punishments and Lacey atoning.

I don't mind the amount of updates, as long as they are not delayed by years, I can say that I am happy that it didn't end in 2 acts.

I wouldn't even mind an "after" series, where we see where the balls have landed and some more shenanigans.

Jamie is not even in my equation here

I was explaining a concept, you still go through that menu even if you decide to reject him.

EDIT: Just realized, I don't think that label is actually called, meaning it was probably from an earlier build of the game and dev may have changed their mind

 

[DeviantFun]

remember:

I. AM. ALWAYS. RIGHT.

Joking of course, if you have one of those earlier builds around I would love to peek in what changed.
I have only act 1 with the old files of the possibility of damian not existing and being able to turn down Anna.

So it's a file I found in Act 2 release, but it seems like it was supposed to be a clarification of the 3 route choices and multi girl relationship. For it, it was

1.) Slutification
2.) Destroy Jared's Life (I assume this would be focused on revenge instead of healing)
3.) Eager Punishment

It says Multi girl doesn't mean harem. It means 2 or 3 girls depending on the specific girl(s) you pursue

It also had for good guy score
"But if it gets too low, you will miss out on some events and if it gets really low it will change what endings you have access to."
"If it hits zero, you will get the bad ending."


Again, it seems like Dev changed their mind because Destroy Jared is no longer a path and instead it's just an event that happens no matter what.
