Just one stupid question...if you romance one LT and you're happy with it..the game won't force you to get sexual with others right?

The only forced sex is with Moonsong in early chapters and you can turn her down permanently in Chapter 5. So yes, you can eventually pick just one, but the dev doesn't recommend it because you'll miss a lot of content.

As for collecting powers, there's pills to do that now if you prefer the non-sexual method. Though that's probably going to still limit you a bit since I'm sure there will be girls down for sex that won't go for pills.

Without going into details, there's a very compelling reason for MC to have casual sex at least once with multiple different women, but there's some potential ways around this that achieve similar goals.

Still, as the dev said, at its core Origin Story is going to ultimately be (kind of) a harem game. So monogamy is unlikely to be a big focus, though I suspect romantic polyamory will be.

In any case, the story, writing, characters, and humor are very good in my opinion. And several of the LIs are easily placing in my all time Top 10.

Then why play games tagged harem? Making dedicated mono routes just makes more work for the dev and increases likelihood of a game not being finished. Stay in the lane of your preferences.
I get that but I never said I hate harem I just lost interest..but cant just drop the game if the story is good right? Recently I finished Snowstorm's new update and its a harem but I enjoyed it because its well written and the harem makes sense..i only have problem with harem where they just throw girls at you and it makes me no sense to me..if there's a harem where u can choose and reject like Snowstorm I enjoy it and even support the dev if I could

You can choose whether or not to pursue all the potential LIs in Origin Story and the same goes with most sex scenes, other than one scene early on which is mandatory.

There's also a very compelling story reason for a harem setup to exist, so it's not just "a dozen hot women want a random average dude for no reason." The reason is a big spoiler though, so I'd avoid looking it up until you've played 2-3 chapters.

Been holding off on playing the last few updates since I needed to replay the earlier parts, but wanted to ask about the relationship change regarding Parker and Riley. Read the dev's post about it and understand why it needed to be done, but I'm just curious if it is handled well in the new implementation especially with their relationship being such a major foundation for the game's narrative.

To the one that hates harem games, as long as there is a buildup, and the can all love each other, and you know there names, I don't mind. I think this game seems to fit that last idea. Of course we also have games like grandma's house where mc fucks new girls every update, where you don't know what name and such.

Well, damn. I'm already missing Emerald, she seems kinky af. But it looks like it's going to be some time before there's anything more with the sisterhood. On top of that I'm guessing Emerald is probably last in line, because she's already got a scene and doesn't have Moonsong privileges.

Adjustment Mod
Hi...I compiled together a few useful mod's and a few minor visual changes that compliment the look of this title. (Improved visibility)


  • Changed the default clear textbox, to a custom dark bottom shaded version...which aids with viewing the dialog text without blocking any of the background content.
  • Changed the original game_menu.png image to a dark brick version, (making it easier to view the preference settings).
  • Included the 0x52_URM tool, which allows a user to view as well edit Ren'Py titles. (Used to verify and see more data behind some of the story choices, as well it can display requirement checks as they happen through out the story.)
  • Also included a Universal Quick Menu mod, which hide's or display's the quick menu by pressing your Q key. (Used to help clean up the dialog area by hiding the quick menu from the bottom of your screen.)
  • Included a custom font outline script, which adds dark outlines around the dialog text and the character names...(Visually improves the dialog and name text, which compliments the text against the new custom dark textbox.)
  • Included the Universal Choice Descriptor Mod, which can display on screen data that is behind the story choices, which can offer points and other game related info. (This mod is not a walk through, but it still can provide some additional choice info displayed in real-time on screen.)

Install:
Just extract and merge the game folder with this titles game folder (over write if prompted). Then run your game exe, and enjoy this title using the minor adjustments. (Mainly reduces eye strain for us older folks.)

Note: This mod compilation will not need regular updates, (providing no major coding changes are done to the original script of this title)...it should continue to work for future game releases.

Regards.



Example images of the textbox change, and quick menu mod... And don't forget to press your Q key to hide the quick menu once this mod has been installed. Enjoy.
