You can't talk about it if you haven't deleted the photos of Gillian. Ian needs to be 'over' his Ex to fully open up with Holly.I just remembered that some of the answers affecting the relationship between Ian and Holly were for some reason inaccessible to me. One answer option was unavailable during the literary event, the other was when Ian did not want to talk about the breakup with his ex-girlfriend. This may have affected the storyline.
I had honestly forgotten that Holly is not a virgin. She behaves close enough to one to make it a bit weird for her to accept a casual relationship. But her low self-steem issues make her go along with whatever Ian wants. It would be a nice development if her gaining confidence makes her more assertive to ask Ian for a serious commitment.Holly isn't a virgin, she had two sex-partners in the past.
But I agree with you. In many western/european countries it is kinda 'common' nowadays to have sex a few times before you enter a serious relationship. Or don't enter it at all and keep it 'casual'. More and more people are moving away from 'labels' anyway.
The mentally healthiest girl for Ian is Emma by far. She is a good friend, nice, political but not intolerant or self-righteous, doesn't seem to have any baggage from her past... And she likes friend with benefits sex but is open to maybe get serious with the right guy.I just remembered that some of the answers affecting the relationship between Ian and Holly were for some reason inaccessible to me.

Holly is not a virgin, btw, she had a similar relationship history. Almost everyone in this game is dead inside.
I wanted to do it, but I didn't have enough "will", lol. Well, now I wonder how the plot will develop in the next updates.You can't talk about it if you haven't deleted the photos of Gillian. Ian needs to be 'over' his Ex to fully open up with Holly.
Yes, she's good too, but Perry like her. I think Ian and Holly have more in commonThe mentally healthiest girl for Ian is Emma by far.

She behaves like that because she is shy, insecure and has low self-esteem because of her previous (bad) relationship. But depending on how you play it, I wouldn't call it casual relationship just because they haven't put a label on it. I think the dialogues between them reflect that perfectly. And at the end of chapter 11, if Ian opens up to her after meeting with Gillian, they are basically 'seriously' together (IMO). In my playthrough Holly even broke a kiss with Lena and apologized to her under tears, telling Lena that she is in love with Ian and finally able to date him and can't do this with Lena anymore.I had honestly forgotten that Holly is not a virgin.

Now cameo character's are getting scene too on expense of MC's/NPC when the focus should be shifted towards them after cutting down chapters!Nope. If lena_fty_bbc is false the entire Marcel sequence won't trigger.
If the code is readied to serve its purpose we can safely assume it will happen. Because Eva did said that epilogue beta/final will have an extra scene so.....
If that true than I guess consequences phase is startedIn epilogue Lena mentions that Mike's gf found out about his affairs. Lena learns about this from Jeremy, but in my saves Jeremy only said that he know Mike has gf. This is alpha build inconsistency or did I miss something ?
Whatever at this point, especially if Ian was helping Wade and Cindy still jumps.I'll laugh when Ian catches Cindy jumping on Axel's dick when he chose the "romantic" route with her.What else do we expect: play stupid games (betraying your friend by stealing his girlfriend) - win stupid prizes. If Cindy cheated on Wade, there's nothing stopping her from cheating on Ian. Once a hoe, always a hoe.
Ian has supposedly developed fear of commitment after Gillian's betrayal, and it's going to take a lot for him to eventually overcome it. You aren't doing anything wrong, it's more the case of Lena/Ian being exception to this because of "the Red String" thing between them.But I can't understand why Ian doesn't consider Holly his girlfriend if they've had sex several times already and he's said more than once that he's crazy about her. Did I do something wrong?
Though, Cindy was very obviously unhappy with Wade, I don't believe she shows that level of unhappiness with Ian. But, yeah, if you're already cheating, adding more cheating shouldn't be a surprise.Oh no I fell in love with my friend's girlfriend who cheated on him with me and now she's going behind my back as well, how could this have happened, she was such a nice girl I never saw her as the cheating type!![]()
The payoff for different paths are going to come later. Cindy has always been shown to be receptive to Axel. It's honestly more unbelievable if she's not at the very least slightly flirting with him. Axel gave her a new direction and meaning in life, a source of income, and nude photography can feel quite intimate. I don't get why people are upset of the scene showing how Axel and Cindy have become close. It doesn't automatically mean that Cindy is now cheating or fucking Axel - that would depend on MC choices (hopefully Lena has a part of too). I find it wild that some people have repeatedly played through Cindy's plot and not expect her to flirt with Axel. Not everything revolves around the MC, and other characters have agency and their own motives. In fact, it is generally accepted to be poor writing if other characters' whole being seem to just be about how they relate to the MC.Yes. There are currently around 4 Cindy paths and the issue with the epilogue is that it hurts the first two:
1. Ian helps Cindy and Wade: Cindy flirts wih Axel anyways, helping Wade seems to be pointless.
2. Ian romances Cindy: Cindy flirts with Axel anyways, all the romantical build-up and the passion of Ian and Cindy during chapter 1-9 becomes moot, since Cindy may just fuck around anyways.
3. Ian fucks Cindy: Cindy flirts with Axel, this is "fair", since Ian doesn't commit to her and possibly also dates Lena/Alison, so Cindy isn't as loyal to Ian.
4. Ian doesn't help Wade and ignores Cindy: Cindy flirts with Axel, this is also logical and the expected result of that plotline.
Perfect path is Ian and Lena are both slutsI don't wanna make the fanboy or alike, but this game is so amazing damn... I just like the different path, even by changing few details you got another story. Keep trying on having the perfect path for the outcome you want... goddamn it, I cannot get enough of it.

You have likely saved your game too late in Ch.11, after the point where the continuation begins in the new update. If you don't have earlier save to fall back on, you might want to try to roll back your game a few screens (with mouse wheel) and then proceed normally forward.I do not understand. Downloaded the latest version, alpha epilogue. But the last 6-8 scenes, which are apparently new things in the epilogue, do not appear to me. They are only in the gallery and are closed. But the last event for me is almost always another meeting with this businessman Seymoyre. After this, the game writes about the end of the 11th chapter and no continuation. No another scene with Axel, even if it's on his way.
The four routes you describe make sense, though I'll push for a different take on them.Yes. There are currently around 4 Cindy paths and the issue with the epilogue is that it hurts the first two:
1. Ian helps Cindy and Wade: Cindy flirts with Axel anyways, helping Wade seems to be pointless.
2. Ian romances Cindy: Cindy flirts with Axel anyways, all the romantical build-up and the passion of Ian and Cindy during chapter 1-9 becomes moot, since Cindy may just fuck around anyways.

This is hilarious. I write this long, rambling post replying to Gicoo, and while I'm doing that, Watson John comes along and says pretty much everything I was trying to say, but in one paragraphThe payoff for different paths are going to come later. Cindy has always been shown to be receptive to Axel. It's honestly more unbelievable if she's not at the very least slightly flirting with him. Axel gave her a new direction and meaning in life, a source of income, and nude photography can feel quite intimate.

Delaying the inevitable break up just for the benefit of being a bro to Wade isn't the payoff players are looking for when choosing to fix Wade and Cindy's relationship, and quite frankly it seems like a waste of time if you spend 9 chapters trying ease the tension between them and get them to compromise for each other, only for Cindy to end up bending over for douchewad Axel. Feels like a big "fuck you" to those of us who put in the effort.You say helping Wade seems to be pointless but we don't know that yet, and maybe the point in those choices is less about the relationship between Wade and Cindy, and more about the friendship between Wade and Ian. It seems very possible to me that, no matter what Ian does, the overall storyline in ORS for Wade and Cindy is simply how they break up. And Ian trying to support them, or ignore them, is about the initial core male friend-group of the story: Ian, Perry, and Wade.
What depth are you talking about exactly? She is one of the most inconsistent personalities in this game. She is not very smart, a hypocrite, a nagging bitch and a jealous petty cunt. A basic bitch some might say.I have to disagree I think she is the most realistic written character along with Emma and maybe Holly. She is dissatisfied with her life and seeking out of a way but does not know how. Even the interaction with Lena in epilogue is perfect example of this, these people when they found out a way they will act cocky become gullible towards people who will positive about it and hostile against people who try to warn them. I saw them irl, I interacted with them. Their fall always be a huge one and it seems Cindy is no exception.
Along with all cast only she has depth actually. I understand why some people don't like her because that attitude is annoying even frustrating but still she is very well written character and interestingly she is even better written than MCs.
Though I agree that her fan base comes from she is smoking hot, not because she is written well. If my assumptions are right and dev follow that path for her, she will be the most hated character in this game and maybe become a candidate amongst all AVNs.
