Maybe an incident where she is gonna help mc in some way.....
No, I've already addressed that in here too. Any choices the MC makes that could cause him to slip will be made by the MC. No one controls an addicts recovery but themselves.

I also said it would be a slow burn, so take yes for an answer.
:p

No, should have been replying to him not you, but I didn't. The stuff about using the PDF is good info though even though I deleted it. Just for anyone reading this. It will tell you about last chances if there are any. But, for the harem ending the girls will probably give you another chance. Not sure how I'm gonna work that yet. That's the only trouble with harem endings and why people say they aren't realistic. Because either you like all the girls the whole damn game, and get the harem ending naturally. Or, maybe you pick and choose the girls you like throughout the game. But, if you also want the harem ending, then how does that really work if you treated one of them like shit the whole game. It's not very realistic, but we'll make it work some way. The fact they will be there, and you'll stay friends with them the whole game, will probably make that easier, or at least a little more believable.
Yea I understand I usually use a PDF walkthrough since you can look ahead at multiple paths. And for the harem stuff, I don't know how anyone wouldn't choose a certain girl because they're all so damn loveable and actually have character rather than just being there as a next fuck. Usually, with games like these, I can only relate/empathize with one or two characters but you've written them so damn well that they all feel "alive" in a sense, like their lives and stories, what each of them has gone through or what they are going through currently, can be and sometimes are real-life scenarios that people can actually relate to. This is one of the few games I play for the story rather than the lewds there have been more times I felt sad, happy, and even teared up in this game alone than 80% of other games I have played... Wow, I don't know where that came from when talking about a harem ending. But all in all great game and storytelling with the characters being believable so if someone doesn't want the harem they're insane.

This thread officially has over 500 likes and nearing 700k views. When I started this project I was expecting maybe 100 likes tops. Because of how nich the subject matter is, but you guys proved me wrong, and dared to try something a little bit different.

You're all awesome, even the trolls who've stopped by!!! (at least for today, then trolls suck again)

:love:

That's all I ever wanted to achieve as a writer was to make them human and relatable. Not just them, but the story as well. Yea, it's about junkies getting sober, but in the end they are people going through life just like anyone else, with maybe a few more challenges.

So thank you, like I said a few posts up, you guys are all awesome! I may not have as many fans as some bigger devs, but mine are the best! I'd argue that with anyone!

U Forgot her ?
Oh...
Yeah, she actually somehow slipped my mind as a possible love / sex / lust adventure.
After all, she´s Rick's wife, so I was a bit confused about the points with her in the last update.

...what would be the purpose of giving her points if not?
I also said it would be a slow burn, so take yes for an answer.
Then please, turn Rick into a cheating asshole.
I actually like him too much, to make his wife "happy" for no good reason... :cautious:
But if he treats her badly, or ...:sneaky:

So this game is insane good- I just downloaded it and holy hell- but I have a few questions

Audrey: The in game walkthrough had corruption points for her for a while- and then suddenly it went straight to Love points and no more corruption options? does this then mean the corruption path has been reworked or removed?

Barb: Same general inquiry with Barb the in game walkthrough had a Dom +Barb points option but then suddenly it just went to a +Barb option similarly does this mean the Dom path for barb has been removed?

also with Barb we have the scene with Audrey at the beach after her breakfast and the MC says " well i gotta go cuz i wanna tell Lydia about Barbs situation and it's better to hear it from me and whatever" and then the very next scene is a meeting with Rick- Maybe you got too busy with other projects or life or whatever because you alluded to the fact the MC told Lydia off screen because the Sam scene mentioned "I assume Lydia told you about Barb" but wouldn't it make sense to build a scene for the MC telling Lydia about Barb? even if it was a quick scene. seems kind of cheap to let that sort of thing happen off screen because Barb is sort of a main character- and it sort of cheapens the flow of the story a bit when you mention the MC is gonna go tell Lydia something which is emotionally impactful and then we are like "oh man ok lets prepare ourselves" only to then see Rick in his chair at the meeting..



it's like "oh wait what the hell??"

Just my two cents on it

And I have another question regarding Lydia continuing to smoke- Since the entire game has told us that in order to remain sober we cannot have any sort of thing that is mind altering- or else it will lead you to become not sober- is the fact that smoking cigarettes not technically mind altering the only reason it is still in the game? The fact that cigs are addictive would lead me to think they would have the same end result as any other addiction based substance to an addict leading them back to being not sober? This has been bugging me so please let me know

No, they're not, I just tested them both and here are screenshots, check you browser or something. Cause it's not the links.
I tested both of them just now and they downloaded fine.

Not everything that's told is going to appear on screen, and you're right Sam says at the meeting Lydia has told her about what happened with Barb which implies you told Lydia before the meeting, I already had enough conversations telling people what happened to Barb, didn't think that one needed to be shown, as to avoid things becoming redundant. Plus Lydia will discuss how she feels about it more in the next update, also she tells you later "I was considering ditching work to come with you to see Barb" (Or something close to that). So, no it didn't make sense to me, and I didn't feel the way you did at all with that scene transition.

Fifty percent of people I know in recovery including myself either vape or smoke, and it's not exactly a mood or mind altering substance. Because, it doesn't rob you of your faculties. If we're gonna talk about that, then every addict should be on strict diets and not drink any caffeine either. But there's coffee at every meeting and cookies at every meeting. Why, because they don't make you go rob from people and steal their cars. By that rationale everyone who drinks caffeine, or eats food that contains it is an addict. I personally don't believe that and will go down that rabbit hole no further.

Your other questions have already been answered more than one time in the thread, so look back through if you'd like. I even explain the Audrey stuff in the PDF, so you can look there as well.

With the Barb Sub/Dom Stuff, did you consider the fact I think I've already given you enough points to know how you feel about that when the time comes?
Also, did you see that along with every sub/dom choice there was a regular Barb+ as well? (At least with the vast majority anyway)

I know I said look back through the thread, but that will be a choice you have based on how many of those points you have at the time and it will be optional. So say you have more Sub than Dom, you will have a choice of just a regular scene with her, or a light femdom scene, if more Dom, you'll have the choice the other way around with optional Dom or the regular scene.

I understand the focus of the story is on dealing with substance use/abuse and addiction. I get it that most o the dialog deals with situations of needing money and drugs to sustain a lifestyle, and while the sex scenes are decent, the 200+ lines of dialog between them is droll and lifeless. It comes across not as preachy but more as a high school term paper on the topic every time.

I played through Chapter 3 and just found myself completely uninterested in reading anything. I'm sure for those who have been in this lifestyle or know people who have lived it and survived or lived it and unfortunately not survived... This may be helpful or compassionate for their experiences and emotions.

I respect the dev and the concept, but the stagnant playability and tedium just bored me. I will not rate the game, because negative review scores do not help this dev in any way. Simply put, it's not my style nor of interest to me, now that I see where it went with things (up through Chapter 3)...

I respect the fact it's not your thing, and I wish you well with all your writing endeavors.

"What the mind doesn't understand, it worships or fears"...

Just done Day 15, which was as emotional as I wish it to be... really liked it and appreciated the b/w touch at the end.

EDIT thanks Zoey!
