So it looks like Chloe is not a main LI? Does that mean effort in that direction is wasted?
I'm paraphrasing, but Cicada said the difference between MG & SG is that MG will have an established relationship and ending and guaranteed scenes.

So there is 8 paths/endings with the MG, but there is also a 9th path, where you don't pursue any of the MG, and can work towards being with one or more side girls in that path. So you can be with them, but you won't have that 'official' relationship with them or a dedicated ending.

EDIT: I found where it was mentioned.

The biggest and most crucial missing thing to this whole thing is animation during the sex scenes. The click from pic to pic is such a missed opportunity that easily takes already one of the best games from any others made but if this had even low scale animation it would be one of the Top 5 best games hands down. This dev is crazy for not putting this on any of the money making sites not only because of the cash it would quickly make but it could be a way to show others just how to actually make an avn instead of the huge number of the pile of trash that time was wasted on and make it a clear goal like idea of what is what kind of quality is rewarded and the kind easily forgotten and never seen again! With this it is not one easily forgotten but is a clear keeper and one I check on it's progress. IT IS ONE OF VERY FEW I THINK YOU COULD REFER TO A NEW DEV WITH POTENTIAL SO THERE IT CAN BE AN EXAMPLE OF ACTUAL QUALITY WORK COMPARED TO THE OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON!
This dev should def 100% look into creating animation on this or even look into trying to find someone who can add it into this great story so far and even take time to add to the already released chapters so far and this easily is in the talk with games such as B.A.D. Karlsson's Gambit etc... Just a thought but great work with this so far dev!

Like half of the main girls have barely any screentime as of now, Ellie, Alice, Ava and Bonnie.
I'm most interested in Ava and Alice. I wonder how the story would get MC together with them. Alice has been pretty non-existent since she's away from parties while Ava has been kind of sus and tied to Joey.

I'm also surprised Rachael is a minor character. Thought there's more to her.

Ok, finished the new content, I think Imogen caught up with Mia for me now I am not sure which one will end up as my favorite, Alice also seems interesting but we haven't interacted much and Ella would be among them if she was single.

Overall I am enjoying the story and the characters a lot there are a few of them I wish we could interact more but I guess it's still early in the story for that.

Other than this I believe there is a small bug near the end , the “Thank You” screen pops for 2 seconds before Cameron enters, I believe this may be a mistake since it reappears again at the actual end.

She has the most content out of all the girls i'd say...

I think Cicada said some main girls will have even less screen time than some side girls - it depends on their storylines and how they fit into MC’s story. Honestly, if it weren’t for the definitive list of LIs we have, I wouldn’t have guessed who’s who just based on screen time :)

The look of surprise and delight on Tegan's face if you choose her is precious. :love:
Indeed, that was so fucking sweet :love:

Imo, but if there are main girls which have less screentime then side girls i don't think that girl should be a main girl to begin with. Rather give the main girl status + ending to one of the side girls which have a lot of content.
I mean, what is the point of a main girl, in a game with solo paths, when she is barely present... at least i would find it nice if we could have some endings with the more present side girls.

There are a lots of awesome girls in this one, i really like teegan, alice, Imogen and bobbie/bonnie are fun too.

To some degree the "not interacting" with some of the girls is almost comical considering how interested they seem :LOL: :LOL:

Like these girls are throwing themself at the MC but he NEVER EVER makes any kind of approach at contacting them or anything even after they had sex lol, not even about casual stuff, its always the girls who have to approach him and "kidnap" him :WeSmart:

I wonder if its deliberate that the MC is ... a little bit of a weirdo in that regard and maybe related to "blue eyes girl" ... really playing the girls dirty :LOL: but it seems to work and make them even more eager!

I mean who tf receives nudes and doesnt react in any kind of way, like the girl takes her time to pose for you and show herself to you in a revealing way and you cant even be bothered to reply with at least a "youre beautiful" ? :ROFLMAO: Its was really funny when bonnie did send him a nude and he like .. anknowledged it for like 0,5 seconds and never replied lol. Not even a thanks :ROFLMAO:

Half these girls are probably having doubts if they are even pretty after their interactions with him :whistle::p

Despite all this snark, i really like the MC in this avn.


Unlike our harem fanboys i REALLY liked the situation when teegan approached the MC about the teegan/mia situation and the way how she did it. It was simply very ... reasonable and how it would expect every decent person with dignity to act. I enjoyed that it seemed to be a mix of jealousy/feelings/emotions but very valid concerns too (there arent a lot of people who are into fucking the same person as a friend of them ... lets be honest .. even less without communication).

Everyone is always super afraid of "ntr" but if they girls are possessive, its a no go, i never understood this mindset. I would honestly have trouble to date a girl who lacks the self-worth to just go along with and accept her man fucking around (if she isnt some kind of cuckquean) and it makes me doubt that there are even feelings/emotions involved in the first place.

It gives the LI's character and makes them and the story feel more realistic imo if jealousy is a thing and if girls who live together not just all fuck the same guy without any kind of problem ever occuring or the girls being weirdly oblivious about it.

Of course there should be different degrees, some girls expect to be serious/exclusive earlier, some later and some maybe never but that seems to be the case here and imo its flowing very well and naturally.

So very refreshing take

Love this game ! Mia was already my favorite but after seeing her outfit haircut and glasses in the last scene, damn girl

Anyway, how to get "Challenge Complete" in chapter 2 and "Payback" in chapter 3 ? Those are the two scenes I miss

Was wondering this also and I like to think that he does give them a compliment and thank them, but we just don't get to see it. Would be weird if he didn't anyway IMO.

One girl that did surprise me yet again is Lucy, I think her gym sex scene may have been my favourite this update.
Hey, mine too! Bobbie's scene was nice too
She also surprised me when she stepped in and told the two idiots to fuck off, since she didn't have the obligation to do that. Although I would have liked if we were given the option to punch Chase, motherfucker has the most punchable face I've ever seen.
I still can't believe she isn't a main girl, she feels like one to me.
Right? When I realized she wasn't an MG I was like:

For the first one you need to fuck Lauren if I remember correctly. The other one I think you need to vote for Lucy in the twerk-off contest and accept her help with the nude, and then flirt with her in the gym in Ch3.

Dang! Are we really so rare?
Kinda. I think more because she's not been as involved yet, similarly to Bonnie and Ellie. Those three generally seem talked about less, because there's less to talk about. But they'll get the time eventually, and then maybe we'll see them higher on more people's lists.
