Answer: noQuestion: Is this game now complete?
Or is there more to come?
How is Felicia seen as the corruptor when being on the threesome path from the start requires Mina cheating on Ian with MC?Btw. Felicia is also a horrible friend. When mina still feels wholesome shame, jealousy, and disgust about the degeneracy of the threesome, fel who knows by now how shallow her hedonistic life is, pushes mina against her inate resistance towards the same foolish path.
Makes for an interesting porn game, but fel is the bad friend you would never want for your own daughter.

Hats off to you for your analysis and I dare say this one is the best one up to date.You must be registered to see the links
IMO the only thing out of place was the timing. Going back and forth between different scenes severed the flow/immersion and was a bucket of cold water that made me aware again I'm playing a game/am just an observer. Not sure if it could be done better though, personally I can't think of the way to do it and if TD could, it would probably take too much of his and GIL's time.
I see it differently. Kathleen has been doing this for 5 years now and at least Chuck is her friend AFAWK (at least judging by Chuck's words) so why would she want to destroy it or reshape it?
Abel's experiments is her side project and I don't see how that could disturb the club (and I would imagine that Chuck thinks so too, he has Abel under a close watch which his interaction with Edwin showed so I'm pretty sure he roughly knows what goes on in the vault).
As for Elias, like I said, the rest must have known about it and agreed to it. IMO Kat is doing it for fun and fun only. To exploit the one in a million chance that someone like Felicia would come along (not only 100% willingly but also being of high status, someone she would meet during boring parties). I mean, for a sadist like Kat it would be a waste to not try and get Elias into the club and see Felicia squirm but even non-sadistic perverts would see potential in such a scene.
Anyway, Elias being there doesn't necessarily mean bad things for the club (for Felicia, sure) and they have a plethora of options to mitigate any blowback that might occur due to this. She might drug him for one, he might be into it for two (we know she does her research and Elias wouldn't be in her office if he wasn't a filthy pervert just like the rest ofusthem), Elias will know that if he would spill the beans he would be destroyed or killed, etc. The only question is whether he will have any self respect and slam the doors leaving the club behind or will he allow to be made a laughing stock and remain there as a clown and cuck.
As Kathleen said about Felicia:
(...) "Over the next month, your social status means jack shit. You're no longer Mrs. Elias Ford, you're just another pig whore deserving of contempt." (...)
(...) "You're something special alright. This summer is going to be exceptional." (...)
P.S.
I agree that old title screen was better but it might be easily remedied if the background was darker (I think).
P.S. 2
BTW, do you think that Chuck could harm Ian (read: let someone else harm him) if his actions (regarding Darius for example) would jeopardize PC club and him getting off? Personally I think he could (although not permanently), his outburst during the exhibition showed that he really dislikes if someone is getting in the way of his fun.
Thanks for reading through it all, glad you liked it.Too risky, they could get to club any time and it would blow back in her face even more. If it was one person I could buy that (she could keep tabs on that person), but she has way too many people to handle. Not only August but also Chuck, Ian and now Hana even, plus any of the employees that might have noticed the new face.
Not to mention that we know that Chuck likes to check footage regularly:
Chuck: Just some footage from the previous day. I like to keep abreast of some of our patron's activities.
Let's be honest, Kat knows August and Chuck, knows what annoys them and what makes them tick (if she can do it almost immediately when meeting new people she certainly can do it with her old friends/acquaintances) so I can imagine she would know how to convince them to allow it without resorting to such covert shenanigans. But IMO she didn't have to convince them, this is a great opportunity for some really perverted stuff and this is what that club is about.
Thanks, Turret!Hi ename144!
You, like SteamedHamsInc. , wrote a really good review post, many interesting thoughts. A few commeting thoughts from me.

You started the personal attacks first just because I disagreed with you about you calling Felicia “evil” by calling anyone who disagreed with you a white knight, then you and your toady friend started insulting me personally, so I responded in kind. I never even said she wasn’t a shitty person, but I guess because I wasn’t kissing your ass you started being a dick to me. You’re a lying hypocrite.I fully agree but she is still a shitty person who does shitty things for money. I DO feel some sympathy but she is where she is by her own choice. All that said I really enjoy her complexity and as I've said everybody I've seen in the game wouldn't really be considered a "good" person by any measure.
It's a testament to the quality writing that these characters have such believable depth and can inspire such discussion.
Calling a spade a spade isn't ganging up neither is responding to some guy getting all emotional and tossing personal insults about opinions he doesn't like.
Again great game!
P.S. Felicia is probably also my fave character with Mina pressing in.
This game is a perfect mirror of those who play it.The game is one long warning about women and their ways.
it won't reach BaDIK levels, there's way less stuff in this game to complicate it. No minigames, no phone, no overdone free-roam etc... also less story branching.When do you guys think the next update will come out? I'm cautiously optimistic for a mid September- late October release, but I wouldn't be surprised by a December- February date. The update was excellent as always, and the production value is astronomical, but I hope the game doesn't reach Being a DIK levels of bloat.
I haven't played BaD and wear that fact as a badge of honor, so I can't comment about its bloat. I've never felt there was much extraneous content or story lines in Pale Carnations. What in PC do you find bloated or leads to your concern that it could become BaD?When do you guys think the next update will come out?

I meant development time. I know as the game gets better, it will take more time for updates to come out. I just hope we don't get one update per year schedule, as thst would be excruciating for a game of this quality, as I'm already hooked.I haven't played BaD and wear that fact as a badge of honor, so I can't comment about its bloat.

We can't make any informed speculation until TD gives us a sense of what the next update will encompass. I doubt it will be the next Exhibition, and it will probably include a date-type event for Rose, but beyond that it's hard to say how much might be included. If I had to guess at development time, I'd say the next update will probably be smaller than this, so 6 months seems like a reasonable starting point.When do you guys think the next update will come out?

You're absolutely right. TD hasn't dissapointed us so far, so there's no reason for us to doubt him.We can't make any informed speculation until TD gives us a sense of what the next update will encompass.

As far as bloat, I'm not really worried. I'd love the next update in a month as much as the next man, but you get what you pay for: good development takes time. The question is where that time is spent.
So far this game has had a very sharp focus on the story and main characters. No one's been shunted onto a holding pattern so we can spend time with side characters or run up the episode count while teasing the same old mysteries. I'm confident we'll keep that focus even if branching gets has to get broader as we approach whatever climax awaits us.
Dear Internet, I look at that picture as a single male and the first thing that comes to my mind is "Louis Vuitton". Does that mean I'm gay...?You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Interesting, only in my version the bike is a slightly more traditional chopper, black, and Mina is driving. Uhhh... wait, why does she have a handlebar mustache and when did this turn into a nightmare?!?Lately, I'm picturing an ending where Edwin and Hana mine and make blow up the whole Club building with the Old Hag, Uncle Chuck, Old Pimp August and Warren in it.
Then they get on her bike and they ride away into the sunset.
Indeed. Still nice to have a friendly discussion even if one is unable to understand each others view.Here we have a perfect example of how different our viewpoints can be!
"Elias is free to choose not to entertain each and every whim of his wife." That is correct but you overlook here that saving her school is not just an everyday whim of Felicia. She begged Elias to save the school and made it very clear how important this place is for her. Elias could have saved the school with ease, even getting great PR with it. And more, he would have gained Felicia´s thanks and full loyalty. She would never have gone to PC. But Elias did not save the school.
"That is not the same as intentionally destroying and humiliating one's spouse in the social circle." While hardly a nice move by Felicia, the humiliation of Elias in the social circle is currently near zero. The vast majority of the PC patrons are rivals of Elias and/or disliked him well before Feli came to PC. This was actually one reason Felicia came to PC, it was outside of Elias´normal social circle. So currently Elias suffers zero problems in his social circle.
They are, but the subject was fel. And still, its her who pushed her further towards corruption - playing the devil on the shoulder.How is Felicia seen as the corruptor when being on the threesome path from the start requires Mina cheating on Ian with MC?
That would suggest MC and Mina are the horrible ones.
Just honing in on the aspect that gets whitewashed - also in the real world.This game is a perfect mirror of those who play it.
I really mean no disrespect, but if you look at what happens at the club in-game, and your only thought is "eh, women are manipulating whores", I'd say your view of the world - the real world - is *slightly* skewed.
Nah, you just sound like an incel... but it's not like you're the only one... seems AVNs attract all sorts of "interesting" charactersJust honing in on the aspect that gets whitewashed - also in the real world.
The only good being in PC is Edwins watch. lel

They seem to be taking around 6 to 7 months at this point.it won't reach BaDIK levels, there's way less stuff in this game to complicate it. No minigames, no phone, no overdone free-roam etc... also less story branching.
Yeah this "modern madness" of treating wives like humans as gotten out of hand...Elias should have fel's full loyalty by marrying her. Its not the husbands job to go extra miles for his wife to be loyal. (Again, not talking about the potential agreement to extramarital sex.) "Happy wife happy life" is modern madness.
