June 14th is complete. If you're not on Hana's path, it will be a pretty brief day.Just wanted to ask, is June 14 content for the other characters (aside from Hana) still not available yet?

I understand. However from the walkthrough, there's supposed to be a part where there's a short encounter with Mina and I get to make two choices in which one involves telling Mina about the date with Hana. The event should be made possible by the fact that I chose Mina to go to after week 2's exhibition.June 14th is complete. If you're not on Hana's path, it will be a pretty brief day.
I mostly agree... I believe Mrs. Pullman stated in conversation that Edwin's biggest obstacle preventing him from giving himself over to his sadistic desires (her motive that we can agree on) is his tendency towards introspection. I don't think it's Victoria being the impediment as much as it is his overall perception of women being colored positively by her in his past... no matter their choices. And Mrs. Pullman is now surrounding him with women who have made similar choices (hoping to gloss over the coercive framework she directs) but instead of reinforcing his introspective empathy, she is trying to show that they are undeserving of it and it is 'misplaced' in the hopes that he will then reassess his loyalty towards his mother. We might concede that Victoria is more of a symbol of the obstacle Mrs. Pullman faces obscuring her goal of creating a sadistic padawan.If and how this plays out is still to be seen, however i believe Kathleen is aware and/or afraid of her advances towards Edwin could fail. Victoria is the main obstacle on this path for her, but her influence on Edwin is still way stronger than than Kathleens, so she can't oppose Victoria openly and instead tries to reaffirm Edwin that by following her path he will not alienate his mother and loose her love.
Good stuff there. I wonder what Mrs. Pullman could blackmail Victoria with to make her become a participant if Victoria seems quite financially stable. Then, Edwin already knows about her porn, and Edwin can just out Kathleen in defense of his mother what with all the information he knows about the club. Her biggest obstacle here may very well be Uncle Chuck not even letting it all get to that point.I have also outlined my reasoning in my post "Why Victoria will have sex-scenes" so take a look there if you are interested.
I have 10 playthroughs including single focus on each Carnation, a Hana/Mina/Felicia Hail Mary, a sadistic Kathleen positive run, a Kathleen + Full Deal run, a Killian bromance run where I'm an utter ass, a Hana run, a run where I creampied Hana (hmm), a Mina run, and my myEdwin first run where I ended up dating Hana and now, I'm worried about bringing up Mina's list to her... my exhibition performance has been slightly disappointing to Mrs. Pullman as I would expect if I were in that situation. I also borrowed the money for Rose from Felicia. Oof. I agree, I really, really look forward to these unanswered questions and I'm sure I won't be disappointed in being proven wrong to any degree!In my playthrough i went full into this mess, with among all of the NPCs having only Kathleens affection maxed out, despite i (and MyEdwin) resent her the most. MyEdwin oscillates heavily between those two poles, with on the one side trying to get on Kathleens good side and gain her trust, and on the other side always calling Victoria after the exhibitions and even spending the night at home. I am looking forward to how this drama will play out:
I get where you're coming from here... against his will, at the pleasure of Mrs. Pullman and the club. Again, Uncle Chuck would be the biggest impediment here. There are so many wheels to turn to make it happen, but I see where you are taking me.However, and i try not to advocate for incest here, because this is by now totally and irrefutably put to rest, i am wondering about a possible revenge scenario and i want to preface it with a thought about what is incest and for whom.
Help.Heresy! I am currently sporting three different updates on my small harddrive as you should do too!
You are going to have so much goddamn fun. This Hana update makes 9 1/2 Weeks look like Green Eggs & Ham.I plan to finally play the latest update from the beginning this weekend, because i just took a short glimpse on it after it went finally public.
And after this i am looking forward to all those reviews i avoided since the update leaked 3 weeks ago. Didn't want to spoiler me.
Aye, this update has 4 distinct openings, dependant on who you go to at the end of exhibition 2. You say you selected Mina, but then which opening are you getting? Are you using any mods?I understand. However from the walkthrough, there's supposed to be a part where there's a short encounter with Mina and I get to make two choices in which one involves telling Mina about the date with Hana. The event should be made possible by the fact that I chose Mina to go to after week 2's exhibition.
Likewise, there was supposed to be some content after selecting Victoria as the person to visit.
Unless the walkthrough is mistaken?
You can see the attachment in my previous post.
Personally i do believe, that Victoria is more than just a symbol of an obstacle to Kathleens goal. There a quite a few encounters and conversations between Edwin and Kathleen which provided her already a good, yet perhaps still incomplete picture of the tremendous influence Victoria has on her son and subsequently his views. Don't forget Victoria and Kathleen had also an extensive chat about her lovely son, a move Edwin wasn't very fond of.We might concede that Victoria is more of a symbol of the obstacle Mrs. Pullman faces obscuring her goal of creating a sadistic padawan.
We established that Kathleen is the weakest of those three owners. But she is by no means powerless, and her strength is primarily her connections with the respectable and morally upright part of the higher society. Running the exhibitions and managing HR at the club is kind of her side-gig, first and foremost she presents herself as a devout and loving wife of a respected (ex-)judge and CEO of a big charity fund.I wonder what Mrs. Pullman could blackmail Victoria with to make her become a participant if Victoria seems quite financially stable.
I'm using the walkthrough mod while referring to the walkthrough in the OP. The only thing I've done with the cheats is to get points I would have otherwise missed by selecting another option. I've replayed the whole game from scratch to see if I missed out on anything. I get full Hana content if I invite Veronica back home. However, I go to Mina's or Victoria's, the update ends immediately after the short stay there.Aye, this update has 4 distinct openings, dependant on who you go to at the end of exhibition 2. You say you selected Mina, but then which opening are you getting? Are you using any mods?
1 | Vero route, Hana GF |
2 | Week 2 after exhibition split with Mina |
3 | Vero route, Hana fuck buddies |
4 | Vero route, Mina & Hana two timing |
5 | Vero route, Mina casual lover, Hana fuck buddies |
Hi selberdreher !However, and i try not to advocate for incest here, because this is by now totally and irrefutably put to rest, i am wondering about a possible revenge scenario and i want to preface it with a thought about what is incest and for whom.
Consider a predatory father, and in real life i would assume this is the most prevalent one, who is sexually attracted to his daughter. Let's not burden this with pedophilia, so let's say she is already post-puberty, and his craving is not reciprocated by his daughter, however he coerces her by blackmail, violence, drugs or even gets her 'consent' by manipulation, money or any other measure a sexual predator would use, into performing a sort of sexual activity.
I would argue the incest in this scenario is very one sided, opposed to let's say a brother-sister couple who enter a sexual relationship based on their attraction to each other. In reality, whereas this sexual activity may satisfy the incest kink of the father, it's plain rape for the unwilling and sexual abuse of a daughter who had 'consented'.
So if we apply above methods to a coupling in which both participants are neither sexually attracted nor really consenting, can we still call it incest? Like a sadistic soldier forcing a mother to perform (lapdance, HJ, BJ, you name it) with her son at gunpoint? For his pleasure only?
I would say no.
The save in front of Veronica worked for me as intended. Mina night went to Mina morning, Victoria night went to Victoria morning, and so on and so on. I suspect your issue might be owed to the walkthrough mod. I would recommend trying a fresh extraction of the game with all the original scripts in tact, and see if that solves the problem.Really appreciate your help on this
Yeah, i kinda threw them together, with the "seducers" using the 'softer' approaches, whereas the "predators" are using some kind of force. Since incest is a criminal offense in our country i tried to outline what i was 'feeling' (because i am not a law professional) would be considered as incest in our society and especially in jurisprudence.The predatory father in your scenario above is the most common type of offender there by a margin. A smaller, but significant group are the "seducers", who work more via manipulation and seduction.
Noted, thanks a lot! This is the first time a walkthrough mod has ever done this to me.The save in front of Veronica worked for me as intended. Mina night went to Mina morning, Victoria night went to Victoria morning, and so on and so on. I suspect your issue might be owed to the walkthrough mod.

Welcome to the world of the German Civil Law, a major branch variant of the Civil Law Systems! Based on old Roman law, old Germanic law and a truckload of own inventions and innovations over time, it is the law foundation of many European countries, former colonies (like in the case of Portugal), Asia minor (Turkey) and East Asia (Japan, South Korea and Taiwan).Yeah, i kinda threw them together, with the "seducers" using the 'softer' approaches, whereas the "predators" are using some kind of force. Since incest is a criminal offense in our country i tried to outline what i was 'feeling' (because i am not a law professional) would be considered as incest in our society and especially in jurisprudence.
Turns out i was half-correct:
the overpowering majority of those cases would be indeed prosecuted by other penal norms than §173 (the incest paragraph) which is interestingly placed in section §169 to §173, covering felonies against family, marriage and marital status. Other felonies mentioned in that particular section are e.g. polygamy or withholding child support.
Infact there are such few cases of incest prosecuted there isn't even a statistic for it. So one may think 'oh, there isn't much incest happening then?' Well, no and yes.
Legally most cases would be prosecuted by norms covered in section §174 to §184 which is labelled "Felonies against the right of sexual self-determination" and includes felonies like child-abuse, rape, sexual harassment, forced prostitution and the like.
Practically for every case in which one party couldn't consent, was too young to consent or was coerced/manipulated to 'consent'.
Ok, so which sexual actions between blood-related family members are legally recognized as incest and punishable by law then?
This is the part where my feeling and probably also societal expectations likely diverge from the legal view:
basically only heterosexual, vaginal intercourse between siblings, children and parents and grandchildren and grandparents is considered incest and punishable by §173. And if both participants are under the age of 18 it's considered incest but not punishable.
Fucking your cousin or niece? safe, if consensual and the pertinent age restrictions are respected.
Fucking your daddy in his arsehole? safe, if consensual and the pertinent age restrictions are respected.
Mommy scissoring her daughter? safe, if consensual and the pertinent age restrictions are respected.
Daddy getting a nice sloppy blowjob from his daughter? safe, if consensual and the pertinent age restrictions are respected.
Mommy helps her son to relief stress with her DDD boobs? safe, if consensual and the pertinent age restrictions are respected.
20 yo sister and 16yo brother try the 69? safe, if consensual
15 yo old brother deflorates his 14 yo sister? technically forbidden, but not punishable if she has consented
Welcome to germany!
You meant german Penal Law (StGB) instead Civil Law which is covered by the BGB.Welcome to the world of the German Civil Law, a major branch variant of the Civil Law Systems!
That´s "translation at work", I know that it is the StGB penal law, but in English the whole law complex is called German Civil Law. Which in this case is used to divide it from Common Law systems, Civil Law can be Zivilrecht, but also the the name for the whole Rechtssystem. I should have used "Deutscher Rechtskreis"(German legal sphere), but even then it is often just called German Civil Law.You meant german Penal Law (StGB) instead Civil Law which is covered by the BGB.
I'm sure she could, but what I don't get is why? Why would she do this?I dunno, i am confident that Kathleen can find alot better ways to pull this off, since she is a professional in it for many years now.
Let me preface my answer. Contrary to the impression one could get when reading the last page, this is not about Kathleen forcing Edwin into any mother-son action. That would be just another vessel carrying the true content, namely hurting Victoria or both. Replace the above with any other degrading stuff like forcing his mother to eat dog shit or a good old, legalporno-style gangbang and confront Edwin with either the footage or even the live action.I'm sure she could, but what I don't get is why? Why would she do this?
(...)
There is also a third possibility which is worth exploring in another post: Kathleen stays hidden, but gets Victoria into doing porn again, this time revealing some aspects of her which were already hinted at in this thread, but are unknown to Edwin. This could lead him to reevaluate his relationship to his mother, his values and ideals. Since he doesn't know Kathleen is behind that smut this time, he can't focus solely on her and the stage stays open for all actors.Going after the MCs mother would be a desperate gamble. Kat wouldn't play that card unless she felt she had to.
I have outlined a strategy of which i believe would avoid that Kathleen starts to target Victoria for her shenanigans: try to keep a professional and friendly distance from her, just don't raise her interest in Edwin too much. However, if you throw yourself into the spider's web you have to brace yourself to meet the spider's poisoned fangs. There are different paths you can take ingame and i believe Kathleens is one of them.To return to a point I made upthread, Kat going after the MC's mother would immediately make the entire story about that.
Consider this: Mina has no affiliation with the club.The relationships the MC has developed, the slow-burn corruption overarching everything, the competition itself, all that goes out the window. The MC isn't going to be interested in any of the problems that any of the girls have at that point.
I'd like to dissent on this point also.Not if he's going to remain a believable character anyway.
After reading this I now visualize the endgame in a Yakuza 7 style where we build our party (ex Mina Idol/healer, Vero brawler etc...) to beat the "carnations tower" club dungeon in which there are Abel and Sophia experiments as mobs, Warren as a midboss and Kathleen as the final boss.My game and the competition so far consists of assembling the heroes party needed to face the endbosses, so to speak. All of them are needed, and to form a strong bond between us we need to care for each other. MyEdwin wouldn't throw those relations out of the window, when it's finally time to face his nemesis, on the contrary: he will need to rely on his friends and allies in those crucial situations. He simply can't win alone.
Wtf Man .. why do you have so many options on your mind to change personality ( gaslighting, drug abuse, sex worker, brain washing) such type of corruption..!! Are you researching such things or what (+_+) NvmYes, normally and in general that's true.
However
now this does sadly happen. Put someone under extreme mental and psychological stress, make them fear for their lives or their loved ones, or let them experience some other kind of trauma (like accidents or disasters) and we have plenty of cases in which someone changed their personality completely. Recent examples include soldiers returning from the front, who are barely recognized by their partners. With these conditions met, changes are possible very fast.
Relatively fast changes - which are perhaps more likely to happen in the scope of PC - can be achieved by
So as we can see there is a wide array of possibilities available to change Hanas views, perception, self-image and values, which are of course part of her personality. While her initial disposition towards the club may power up her resilience, she is not invulnerable to those factors, should they be implemented by the club and/or our choices.
- gaslighting: presenting a false narrative, thereby leading a person to doubt their perceptions and become misled, disoriented or distressed. Can also set the stage for the aforementioned causes.
- Drug abuse: with Abels serum as the prime example, but not exclusively since there are other drugs also available at the club.
- Exposure to unusual or disagreeable behaviour, tends to bend a persons own perception towards the behaviour. Experiments have shown, that a lot of people have a hard time to dissent with a common shared opinion inside a closed group.

I could also post some real-life examples who lost their shit incredible fast throughout their 'career'.- The Taste of Power: the opportunity to exert real power inside the club.

I am confident in TD1900s capability to write a consistent and believeable downfall of Hana, if they decide to go down this road.
I guess it's a fair share of life experiences, the fun of engaging with fellow thread members in a discussion about my favourite AVN and yeah, doing at least superficial research to make sure i am not posting totally out-of-my-ass-only crap.Wtf Man .. why do you have so many options on your mind to change personality ( gaslighting, drug abuse, sex worker, brain washing) such type of corruption..!!
