The writing is very odd in this game. The way people talk is like they're writing a formal letter to a company or something. It's so weird to read that when the characters do use a bit of slang (poorly, and almost cringy I might add) it slaps you in the mouth as being out of character.
When you read enough of MrDots' game dialogue, it becomes evident after awhile that the phrasing is generally consistent for each character, I feel. It sounds very different than the kind of dialogue styles in other games at times, e.g., Parental Love. But even then, I find the expository styles - especially inner thoughts - are actually rather common across different game Devs (i.e., more formal, almost like comic book rundowns at the beginning of each issue).

One thing I appreciate is that this dialogue is so reliable in its style per character, it's easy to interpret their intentions/meanings in any given situation. But, it's definitely something to get used to if you want to feel the larger game out.

That's because you probably didn't tell her you wanted to leave with her and are dating Mel.

You don't need to date Melody. Right now the potential endings are staying with Melody, leave with Amy, leave with Becca, leave with Isabella and maybe one with Sophia. Xianne doesn't want a relationship. So if you want a proper ending with Rebecca, best you can do is to tell her you'll leave with her and not be in a relationship with Mel.

From the walkthrough: "Note: If you’re on the Melody path, or if you chose to be with Amy, Becca will automatically break up with you."
So if mc want to end up with becca mc have to do monogamous relationship only with her?

Seems like it. That's straight from the walkthrough, I haven't tried it because my Becca save was already monogamous.

Neither Sophia nor Xianne are main girls, so you can fool around with them all you want. There's a future threesome scene with them.

Haven't touched this in a while. Can anyone tell me if there's a route with Melody's friend (Sophia I think her name was?) that is just her and not bundled in as a part of a thing with Melody? When I come back to this I'll probably poke at all the routes at some point, I'm just curious right now.

It would be awesome if Melody could become a sluty singer and dancer like Melissa Cherry from The Onion Movie.
If you don't know her, here's a short interview

If you're curious, read the walkthrough. There is too long a route and many options.

Hmm maybe. I noticed everyone talks the same way, And everyone loves to use "keen" often lol
Instead of " i want, I wanna or i'd like" Nah everyone just goes by "keen" haha
See what im sayin? Screenshot_59.jpg

Here, all 41 instances of the word keen in the game. Not much considering Melody alone has at least 10,400 lines of dialogue ;)
Certainly feels more than 41 when you play the game haha :D
Oh and i maybe sounded like i was complainin, I'm not! really, I still enjoy the game regardless of how formal the dialogue may sound.

Except OrbOrigin's work is total let down compared to MrDots's.
Now i didn't try A mother's love, As i hear it's better than their previous work. I'm just not "keen" tryin somethin that came out recently, As there is usually hardly any content.
Actually, there is quite a good bit of content with A Mothers Love you're missing out I highly recommend it or at least try it.
