Honestly tried it a few times but found it incredibly boring. Scenes few and far between, the dice mechanic removes most of player agency and it just felt like a grind with little pay-off. Far far better games here than this TTPS if you are looking for something similar to ORS/GGGB
I feel like most characters in this game pretty realistic, its just unlike Alison and Cindy they not neccesary trow all they flaws at you due to the nature of their character, like Cherry for example, Alison likes to complain about her life and she is pretty self centered and has some insecurities(she ask you about Lena like atleast 3-4 times, even if you dont date her, she is obviously in love with you and afraid to lose you to competition), Cindy has early "midlife" crisis so she has alot of grow and self discovery going on, Cherry has alot of baggage behind her, Emily seems like the most laidback but even she has her political shtick at times, i feel like the most cliche is probably Holly(feels like every porn/romance game has "Holly"), dont get me wrong, she is not bad or anything, a bit generic maybe in terms of her problems and character grow in general.
I agree, some of them are just overall "nicer" than others and it can get a little into "too nice to be real" territory, so these with blatant flaws wind up standing out more. On this note, can't believe i forgot Louise. Poor Louise, she's totally right: no one loves her /s
One more reason why Alison is the worst girl in the game, Holly will not accept the trade if you choose to meet Alison.
I hate how Lena treatment of Louise is so inconsistent in this game, they are friends at first, then you either betray her or warn her about her bf, after you fuck her your relationship suffer so much(and not in BDSM kind of way, not talking sex but everything else), Lena constantly ignores her and cockblocks her, treat her like shit for no reason(again, not how BDSM works), you can be nice to literally every character in the game(with exeption to Axel/Cherry for now), but your friend Louise is exeption for some fucking reason, you dont have any option to be nice to her it feels and she obviously has some kind of mental disorder, feels like she is bipolar and has some abandonment issues, but i'm not an expert.
I don't think it's so unrealistic. Ian has some ego and views himself as a capable writer and senses that Minerva has it in for him (which she does). I could easily see him losing his temper one morning and snapping at her. You're right that it would generally not be the smart thing to do. If Ian were my friend in real life and I heard about his situation, I would tell him to play it cool until he gets another job. But I've seen plenty of real life examples of people flipping out at work, yelling at their boss, etc.
She also blocks Cindy pretty sure.
Ian can fuck Alison. But if he accompanies her for the weekend trip, it will block the Cindy path (I think).
Yeah, if you have zero points with her and side with Ivy and Stan she is quite a mess. I was wondering if one room in Lenas apartment gets opened up for Holly. This chapter was fairly suicide vibing. Stan implies to be at his breaking point and to lash out on Louise (even if he is treated well by Lena). And in reverse, Louise is just making fun of him and hopes that he kills himself so that Holly can move in. If Lena treats him like shit as well, I bat not eye if that happens. Similiar situation to Ashleys dad.
I remember one of my saves Ian went to Alison's trip and then to the Cindy photoshoot when he came back (and fuck her after that).
Agree on the ego part. Guy is anything but a sheep (even if he forces himself so, he hates being submissive to his boss and doing the dreadful office work), is ambitious and has a rebellious strike since middle school. It is the main reason why the girls can be attracted to him in the first place.
Sadly she snaps at you even at max points and never siding with Stan(still good relationship if you are neutral).
Nice, i was thinking that since you miss 1 event on Cindy side its blocked so i ignored the trip because of it.
I feel like that actually strengthen my point, at work, not on internship.
Yeah, it's one thing in the game i don't really like. The severe relationship drop does make sense given Louise's personality, but the way Lena interacts with her regarding it is... ugly. There's never an option to let her down gently, something like "you're my dear friend and i wanted to comfort you when you were really hurt", it's hardcoded to "i just wanted to have some fun with you but now i don't feel like it anymore". And there's like, zero actual interactions friends would have between these two or any attempt to restore/stabilize things. It sucks.
I don't even get why Alison the character even likes current Ian. Alison is so driven and motivated as an individual, what does she sees from current Ian.
