VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.28.4 S4 Ch.1] [Tropecita Games]

[FatGiant]

He can hide the truth, but not outright lie.

And this is what makes this MC special and involving.

While a little white lie isn't much of a problem, in the right moment, for the right reason, even those can snowball and derail any type of honest connection.

Sure, never lying is a tremendous effort. It is also quite dangerous socially, especially for a society that sees white lies as lubricant. Some places in this world have a rather different approach to this. Brutal honesty and frontality sometimes even aggressively so, is a trademark of many places around the world. Where even a fake smile is read as an insult.

I know several people that are on both extremes of this. Some lie compulsively, for no reason whatsoever. Others refuse even the small social lubricant of a neutral expression.

This MC's positioning, by the hands of Trope, is rather tender. Neither is he aggressive, nor is he passive. He's simply truthful and caring. I would truly love to be seen that way by those around me. I may not always reach that level, but, I do try and have been doing an even bigger effort as I've gotten older.

So, as was said above by Jade and Nadira, it would be completely out of line for this MC to lie to Scarlett on something as obvious, that she knows it would be lying and would be interpreted has patronizing and infantilizing. Scarlett is highly intelligent, very well adjusted emotionally in spite of the horrible upbringing her mother subjected her too, if for nothing more than the most basic respect, she deserves the truth as a minimum, and as a lover she deserves it involved in care and humor. Anything less would be insulting.

So, I do think that that user read the lines with an intention and an attitude that isn't there, or, is not as in tune with how our MC goes about his interactions. There's another possibility, but I will not go there.

Peace

Oh, he can lie, even if he isn't good at it, but not to the ones he loves.
One instance of that is when he bluffs with the recording of Jonas's conversation. He lies trying to get him in line and respect the contract. He fails miserably.
He will hide the truth to his loved ones in two instances:
* If saying the truth would hurt them.
* If it isn't his secret to tell.
But he won't tell a lie to them, even a white one. It would set a precedent.

Thanks for your review.
Animations get better in Season 2, I hope you enjoy it as much as you enjoyed Season 1.
About Martha's dress, the red one is my favorite too, but wearing it would be out of character for her at that stage. That's one of the reasons I didn't give the player the choice. She would reject it even if the MC (she's not dating him then) says otherwise.
The other obvious reason for not giving the choice is that I didn't have the rig to triple-render the date. The whole update has 344 renders, the date is 77 renders long, so giving the choice would mean rendering 154 extra renders (44.7%) I didn't have the computing power to do.

She looks beautiful even with nothing on at all!!!

 

[UnwrappedGodiva]

I would truly love to be seen that way by those around me.

And I guess that having a harem dorm packed with nice girls wouldn't hurt either?

 

[FatGiant]

Either of them is a winner anyway.

Agree.
Although the red dress he meant was this one, that showed her panties and bra. Out of character for a woman that, at that stage, had doubts about her attractiveness. Too daring for her.

Indeed.

I don't know what cirls are but if you mean Girls then no there are no girls who smoke as far as I remember.

No. They are all smoking hot, but none of them smoke.

No. They are all smoking hot, but none of them smoke.

My 1st college GF used to smoke after sex. So she switched to another brand of lube...
