Is the game abandoned?
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.Both Alison and Cindy are like that, with some obvious flaws that imo make them more likable due to realism than unlikable due to nature of flaws themselves :v
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 /sI feel like most characters in this game pretty realistic (..)
One more reason why Alison is the worst girl in the game, Holly will not accept the trade if you choose to meet Alison.Which is why I always pick "Switch reviews with Holly"...
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 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.

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.I can't really fathom "someone in that position" in real life would ever choose to be defiant to his boss in his internship in terms of "realistic probability". It's plausible but the probability for someone in that position to choose to be defiant.
She also blocks Cindy pretty sure.I did not like Alison's character mostly due to her need to be the center of Ian's attention. However, I believe that she only blocks the Holly path completely. Ian can fuck both Cherry and Emma atleast once while on the Alison path. However, I think she turns to Jeremy at the first chance when Ian rejects her which is possibly her play at trying to get Ian jealous enough to pay her some attention.
Fair play to her. She knows what she wants and would give Ian almost anything to get him as her boyfriend.
Not my favorite path to play tho.
Ian can fuck Alison. But if he accompanies her for the weekend trip, it will block the Cindy path (I think).She also blocks Cindy pretty sure.
Cindy, Holly and Alison do not mesh very well.
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.So maybe she will snap at some point.
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).Ian can fuck Alison. But if he accompanies her for the weekend trip, it will block the Cindy path (I think).
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.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.

Sadly she snaps at you even at max points and never siding with Stan(still good relationship if you are neutral).Yeah, if you have zero points with her and side with Ivy and Stan she is quite a mess.

Regarding Alison: She only blocks Emmas and Cherrys path.
Nice, i was thinking that since you miss 1 event on Cindy side its blocked so i ignored the trip because of it.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).
I feel like that actually strengthen my point, at work, not on internship.But I've seen plenty of real life examples of people flipping out at work, yelling at their boss, etc.
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 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)
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.I did not like Alison's character mostly due to her need to be the center of Ian's attention. However, I believe that she only blocks the Holly path completely. Ian can fuck both Cherry and Emma atleast once while on the Alison path.

Alison sees potential in Ian, she mentions as much at some point. She's also old friends with him, so she knows what he's like before breakup with Gillian fucked him up. We can presume Ian was quite different and desirable back then.I don't even get why Alison the character even likes current Ian.
