Well, if nothing else, a few you of you have finally converted. Welcome on board the Holly Train. Take a seat ;)

But yeah, that was the worst update yet. I expected no less by the releases´ preview pic but even besides the cringy Stan-part, it feels life-less, rushed and everything else already pointed out. I think one way to counter act this might be to go back to switching between the 2 mc`s pov more often and within the same release. It might at least make the flow and build up feel more "natural" again without much extra work.

Besides all that... anyone notice Lena saying I could meet John (substitue Mark, maybe Robert too, didn´t try) on the weekend and then proceeds to fuck them the same evening?

The one (and only) thing that made me chuckle in this one, was when Ivy got greedy during the Glory Hole scene. Like... oh look at that BBC, gotto go...talk to you later! Edit: Stan walking in on Lena and Jeremy is hillarious, too. I didn´t get that scene myself. :ROFLMAO:

You have plenty of choices already to end with others. That doesn't change the main route, IanxLena.
- IanxHolly ending.
- LenaxWhatshisname ending.
- Lena the slut x Ian the cuck ending.
- ...
The game has no real goal besides choosing a partner or several for our MCs. They're not fighting evil corps or whatever.
Except it has overarching storyline with Ian's writing and Lena looking for her own identity - whether its modelling and giving up on her dreams or singing and pursuing them.

Your main antagonist may not always be something materialistic or "Big Bad Boy", it may be your own fear or something along these lines.

Haven't played ORS in a while, but it's way better than your conventional corruption/save the world/ fuck them all story.

What a letdown update, especially the Stan sex scene, which is ick. The only good thing is Holly scene which make me surprise. As usual, nothing about IanxIvy. The pacing is off, it feels like Eva made this update in a hurry. I hope in the next update Eva will be back on track, I really miss ORS in the early days.

My goodness, it's been a tough few months but seeing that we're playing Lena again almost made me cry, I hope this part lasts a long time.

hi guys, i hope some of you can help me. I have started again playing this amazing game, and now i'm at chapter 12. I do not know why, before leaving for the beach, this time i do not get Ian to interact with Ivy at the gym. That is a path that i want. And i think i made all the right choices. Do some of you know the exact steps to make it happen?

During Lena's 2nd concert gig, you'll be given the option to

  1. Work on the book.​
  2. Go to the gym.​
  3. Visit Perry and friends at the bar.​
Choose the gym option. Also, ensure that Ian is training in Jiu-Jitsu beforehand. You'll meet Ivy after your training is over. Make all charisma choices for Ivy early in the game.

EK's fan base was build on Female MC Corruption. You can't just pinpoint its problems to just kill Lena side of the story. If EK goes that route I think you can expetct some backlash from her paying followers. GGGB was a bang and most content was quite hardcore. ORS share some themes and even guest npcs from GGGB but the general tone of the story is softer.
The problems with ORS are not only the two MCs, it's the tone of the story, the scope of the multiple paths and so on.
Imo the best she can do right now is to start closing side characters arcs to focus on IanxLena.
Exactly, this is one of the only few games I'm subbed to and if its gone then I will stop supporting, its that simple.

So having finally played through all my routes for this update, here are my thoughts. First of, it's short. I started playing my saves from chapter 11 so when I got to chapter 13, it was so Jarring how sudden it ended. I get there was not to much story progression here but then again only a few of the scenes require elaboration.

I was disappointed with the date with John. I was expecting him to have a unique personality and the chapter to build him up as a potential great LI but turns out he is just another flavor of cock for Lena to sit on. It is nice though to have him as a potential inoffensive candidate for the MMF threesome With Lena.

The Stan content was to my surprise one of the better parts of the update because it is one of the only parts of the update with plot progression and setup. Lena and Holly becoming a couple was one of the highlights of the update for me. Also the throuple path was touched and aside from some inconsistency in the art, it was a great cherry on top of a hue sundae. Slutty Holly's scene felt a bit rushed but was great nonetheless. Just ask Xupuzulla :sneaky:

I still don't understand how a lucky beggar like Robert keeps on getting content. I tell you, soon out nowhere he will bang Ivy before Ian. When that happens we better have Ser Hawkes put on suicide watch lol. I can't believe he got the option to have a threesome with Lena and Holly with little to no work where as Lena gets mad at Ian and Holly for banging in the beach house and hiding it from her when she is not even dating either of them.

So in summary, to repeat what most of you have said already, it was a severely lack luster update. Very little plot progression, very short, a noticeable dip in art quality. To talk more about the art, did you guys notice the amount of reused assests? It is simply unacceptable with the amount of reused and repurposed scenes we got that this update took as long as it did to develop. I have no problem with reusing assets but when it merely reduces a negligible amount of time and worsens the overall art quality of the game, is it still worth it?

As I said, it's not all bad. There were some bright spots but the lack of these and the added brevity of the update does not do much for it's perception.
