Thank God.
I'm sure that was Ted's plan, but did they actually make it there? That's what I like about games that don't go for mindless fuckfests, but have an actual well written storyline. The dev can go with the "obvious" path and when they'll eventually have to leave the apartment the MC will remember that conversation, he'll take Carol there and find them safe and sound. But there are also many different directions he can go. For instance what if they got attacked when they were halfway there and had to split up? What if they actually went there and the place wasn't safe or there was already someone else there who wasn't that friendly? I don't remember if their son was mentioned after shit hit the fan. Was he already with them when they left the house or they'd have to make a detour to go and get him first?
Yeah, don't get me started on either of those. Huge fan of Matheson's I Am Legend and to not have a movie version that attempts to be faithful is sad. I mean,
Without giving too much away, other girls will be introduced as the story shifts from one segment to the next. Depending on your choices, there will the opportunity for a little hanky-panky with multiple girls.

Time for another update for Chapter Five. While the work for the first six or so scenes zipped by quickly, we've hit the more work-intensive portion of the chapter. Three of the story's biggest moments are in the back half of the update, and as such, need to handled with care.
The main reason that the last two scenes, in particular, are taking so much time is due to the sheer number of unique poses being employed. There is a single transition where Jack and Carol move from [SPOILERY AS SHIT] to [WHOA SHIT THIS IS SPOILERY] that has ten distinct poses for both characters, not including hand and face variations. Not complaining. Just saying. Really not complaining, because I actually like it when this kind of nuanced work comes together, purely for the feeling that these are real characters.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

On the Impacts of Choice
You may not know--oh, who am I kidding? You've been playing these kinds of games before. You know there's some hidden points system under the hood. There always is. Well, you've likely been accruing points as you play that will impact conversations, choices and even the game's end.
This choice in Chapter Four is the first real point where you can see how Carol feels, based on your earlier actions. While the top two choices are the player, through Jack, making the decision, the bottom one is based on one of three groups of points that the player can earn with Carol.
Love: This is, of course, a measure of Carol's feelings for Jack. Right now, this doesn't have a noticeable impact on the story. It will, in the future, help shape the course of the game's endings. Also, there will be choices later in the story where you may have to "spend" these points if you don't choose Carol.
Trust: This is earned by being honest with Carol about your situation. The more you treat her like an adult, the more she trusts you. Often, the decisions that earn Trust also earns Nerve. Trust points will impact future conversations and actions.
Nerve: This is a measure of Carol's nervousness about the world around her. The more you confide in her, or the more she sees the dangers for herself, the more stress she'll feel. As you see in the above decision, this may make her more cautious. With low Nerve, she volunteers to go to Roy's. With high Nerve, she suggests that Jack does it.

You're good to set up the WT as you see fit. And swipe anything I post/publish explaining the game's limited systems as you see fit. If you're kind enough to invest your time in this, who am I to tell you your business.
No worries .. I work full time - so only work on stuff after my 7am-5pm job is done ...You're good to set up the WT as you see fit.

Plus, it's never a bad thing for a second set of eyes to look at the game, sans foreknowledge of what I want to have going on in the background. Because sometimes the curse of knowledge can blind me to what's practically on display. Also, some of these choices really only make really minor tweaks in conversation or a changed outfit in a transition scene. Like you coming clean to Carol about seeing her in the bathroom means she reminds you that you needed to pee at the end of the chapter. It's only a single line, but that's the kind of ambient content I want to pepper the experience.
