TY. Bit of a bummer though. I'd definitely be more keen on the "put her in her place/help pete get out of the relationship" path but that' the one that seems like it would never manifest. Ah well.
You’ll definitely be able to outsmart Kim and help Pete get out of the relationship, if you want to. It’s the “put her in her place” part that’s harder to implement, especially in a lewd context. How would you make any sort of “relationship” with Kim work after the tables have turned?
Even ignoring the problem with creating too many paths for me to handle without needing a year per update, the tricky part is to come up with a believable reason for 1) an honorable MC to be interested in that sort of thing; 2) a reason for Kim to put herself through that. How would you do it?
A cunning/asshole-ish MC could find a way to trick and turn the tables on her, via blackmail for example, but I don’t want to go into rape-ish scenes. Besides, it’d still be yet another cunning path with her, in parallel with the netori path. A submissive MC can be interesting to her after she and Pete break up, that’ll be a path, but that’s not what you’re asking for.
It’s difficult to make a path between a more dominant and honorable MC and Kim. The only thing that I see working is “a redemption arc” for her with that MC help/guidance. When the time comes, I’ll probably put that to a vote on patreon to see if there is any interest in such path. I think it could be interesting, but I fear it’s not worth of the development time because most “honorable” players will have already told Kim to fuck off.
Anyone knows which girls will be focussed in the next update or more specifically which of the girls will we be lewding ?
In the next update, all of the girls are planned to have some sort of lewd scene that’s locked behind a skill check. A couple girls will only have a scene if you’re dominant or submissive. But all the other’s will have some lewd variant appropriated to the path you’re in.
Toward the end of the update we have a final talk with the exhibitionist girl (I'm terrible with names, my ignorance in this regard does not mean I'm not interested or satisfied with this game)
In it, I encountered a dialogue choice where I needed honor or sensitive to pass the check, of which I had no points in either.
At the end where it tallies your status, it said something along the lines of "You will not continue her exhibitionist lifestyle" or something like that.
Does that mean the route with her is cut off for good going forward? As it was the end of the update, I couldn't confirm myself.
Yes, that’s the last chance to be in Lea’s path. If, by then, you don’t have the “exhibition” skill the only remaining option is to reject her, (or she will reject you even before that, if you haven’t even gathered at least 20 honorable points). In the profile menu you can see in which paths you are with every girl. If there is no path with a given girl, it’s because a choice hasn’t been made yet.
Just curious so I can plan accordingly; i.e. I'll likely continue all in on the route I'm going if more than 1 playthrough is needed to see all the girls routes. Otherwise I might just restart and distribute points as I come across the checks.
As of now, with a better distribution of points, you can have a path with every girl, no need to pick between them. That will remain true for some more chapters. Closer to the end of the game, the player will have to make a choice about who to be in a relationship with. Even after that choice, depending on other things, it doesn’t mean a player will be restricted to a single girl if you don't want to: there might be options to be in an open relationship, to secretly cheat on MC’s “official girlfriend”, etc.
Btw, in the skills menu, check the options button. You have some options there to help you play the game the way you find more interesting. There’s even a cheat option to have all the skills to make it easier for you to see all the content in one playthrough, even though you can do it well without cheats.
If you are doing a playthrough where your choices are leading to a situation of 0 points in honor and/or sensitive, then it is a fair bet that you won't be able to keep on the "active" path for all of the girls - as you found you simply won't be able to get the required Skills.
Yup. Besides that, all girls will required some skills from all trees. For example, a submissive girl might have scenes that require skills such as Dominant (manly), Painplay (Cunning), Bondage (Honorable), and/or Romance (Sensitive). If a player always gets points from just two trees, he’ll get not only enough points to get all of the skills from that tree, but also a bunch more that are now completely useless… on top of also missing scenes with all of the girls. It's much smarter to spread the points a bit among all trees. This is to encourage players to actually make choices instead of always picking the choice with a given colour, as if they were playing a kinetic novel where all of the choices were made for them ahead of time.
To add to this, I believe the dev has stated that choosing not to indulge in a specific kink with a girl generally will not close off her path altogether. There may be exceptions to that, e.g. if you're not into femdom you probably won't get anywhere with Deb.
Yes. Players shouldn’t be afraid of skipping
individual scenes they don’t like. Someone isn’t into the “angryfuck” with Emma on chapter 1? They can skip it and still have a path with her. Or someone doesn’t like the feet scene with Deb in chapter 3? Or the scene with her and Carl in chapter 2? Skip them without any fear of losing the girl. Unless they’re
always rejecting the same girl, they should be fine.
