What's crazy is that PC does better and hotter scenes than others do with much newer and fancier technical assets. Sure you have a lot of newer games with like a couple of high fidelity models and renders, but PC's scenes are still unmatched. I know we all love to circlejerk the writing but not often enough do people talk about just how great the visuals and art truly are too. The scenes actually feel like they are put together with a sense of direction and even the little details are accounted for. Sure the models in PC are hot, but its really difficult to get the true measure of how sexy they are until you see them in the game, in the scenes. It just elevates everything.
Of course the story is really interesting with great writing, but it wouldn't shine as much without those gorgeous renders full of detail (face expression, etc...)

The visuals are always the first thing that pulls players in I guess but I have to agree that the writing is what keeps them.
I mean the premise itself sounds kind of insane if you only read up on it and it probably wouldn't get that many people interested (certainly not enough people to end up in the sites top games) but the story is so well paced and ends up making so much sense that it manages to suspend your disbelief altogether.

"Hey, can I get Mina's number...?"
Ssssoooo, is this Darius? Unless Ian completely changed his hair (including his natural part which is off-center over his left eye, while this guy is in-line with his nose), and he's wearing ugly glasses to recover from a hangover, this looks like a new "care free" character.

And while I'm commenting: how does Rose know Mina's number?

Legitimately impressed by the quality of writing in this, definitely a cut above the norm. I also appreciate that it has an actually focused scope/vision and not just 'yeah sure we'll definitely eventually add absolutely everything on everyone's wishlist', feels like the devs know what they want to make.

Yes, that is a headscratcher! How does Rosi have Mina´s number at all? And more, Hana and Mina hit it off great at Edwin´s birthday party, it is very likely Hana got Mina´s number right then. I speculate the question came from Rosi, not from Hana.

I think you guys might want to complete the game before commenting the next update. :geek::geek:

- Amber cuts Edwin's and Ian's hair in the last update

- we see Darius and the club's girl he was in love with in a flashback

Hana's asking Edwin and Ian, of course.

I been playing every update on release for two years (or more). I remember Edwin getting a haircut, but not Ian, of course if that is what it looks like, then no wonder I erased that travesty from my mind. Where was this flashback?

It was more like a new haircut/refresh than cutting them short
Right. Looked like they didn't cut anything at all, just combed in it a different way.
Still I would have expected that model change to last longer than a single evening.

She cuts Edwin's hair, then Ian's. Then Edwin tells that he paid her, but Ian didn't.

Edwin alternates new hairstyle and "old one", because when he doesn't comb his hair he looks like his older self: just look at the preview picture when Hana and he are talking to August and Otto.

Here you have, Saint Thomas. Put your finger into the wound. :)

Monday morning, they go to the hairdresser's...

Then they come back and while they search for bugs, Ian talks about Darius:

Dunno how you were able to forget him.

His unstyled hair is actually a different model too. You see it when you go swimming with Veronica at the end of the last update/wake up to Ian's text at the end.

Really? Well, not that obvious I guess, he still looks like a boring nerd. That's why he's so relatable. :Kappa:
But HS seems to be extremely limited when it comes to male models unless you love to shop the shit out of every single render.
