So! Just finished everything released in one sitting, and I gotta say I really enjoyed it, despite the bugs and some story inconsistencies (Alice and Sophie met in high school, but also talk about their first sleepover when they were 10?).
Alice is really cute and a pretty believable character in her own right. I like the option of her being both dedicated to her studies and also developing a side career as an online girl (because... you already know why, I've written on here about it a bunch of times lmao). The romance with Sophie is really nicely done and again, believable, it's a bit cliche but it's beautiful and it's surprising to see it defined so early.
Lei is a massive bitch and I'm looking forward to the scene where Alice fucks her with a strap-on to teach her a lesson. Girl needs to know her place now that the new class Einstein is here.
Bonnie is a really interesting character, haven't seen someone like her in the games I've played. Looking to see where her story will go.
Also, does this look like *suspiciously* like GGGB to someone else? There's literally exactly the same models (Charles and that company guy in GGGB) and backgrounds (Lei's house vs. Ash's mom's boyfriend's house). The devs are both Spanish as well. They have to at least have the same artist, or they're probably cooperating, or *even the same person!*
In my opinion, the cliche on its own (girl has a crush on her female BFF and doesn't really know how to proceed) makes it much more believable than the usual "huh, that girl is hot, maybe I like girls too, okay, let's get busy..." depiction in so many other games.
I don't want to overshare, but that's exactly how I got together with my first girlfriend after all.
At first, the scene between Sophie and the aspiring nerd (Darren?) outside of the house irked me a bit, but after some pondering, even this seems plausible.
She just wanted to hang out with you, felt abandoned (alright, why you would leave her hanging at the party in the first place isn't feasible due to the beta-state of the game), a bit drunk and, I guess, was looking for some quick validation.
Maybe not the most eloquent way to do so, but that's human nature on display.
Now when it comes to the side characters, you'll get the whole poster child all-star team with this one:
From the local wannabe bad boy, who basks in the illusion of him owning everything and everyone, to the mean campus ice queen, who, and here I'll simply have to agree with you, really needs to learn where her place is (preferably bound and squirming beneath my high heels, I'd say...) and her sidekick, who truly believes that you can get through life quite comfortable as a woman, if you just play dumb enough to fly under everyone's radar.
I have absolutely no problems with this cast at all, everyone of us surly encountered and had to deal with those archetypes of people in life at one point or another (perhaps even is, or has been like them, who knows?).
If we can continue to steer Alice in any direction, and also interact with the other characters however we want to, I think every player, no matter if you prefer straight, lesbian, or bisexual content, should be in for a treat.
