I was the other person to mention the weed thing, I mostly thought it was weird we had been given the option last 2 times, and Edwin even commented on how it would be out of character for him, but it didn't happen this time around, I agree it would kinda ruin the flow of that scene, but consistency is nice too.
You could always be generous and tell yourself it's because even Edwin isn't large enough social retard to opt out of smoking in a situation where it's literally the only thing that may keep from imploding the little social gathering he technically arranged and is responsible for. So, lead by example and all that. :whistle:

I think there will be good ending with each carnation, since you can choose pretty much who will win. Maybe not all of them at the same time (in the same ending) though
Assuming we play are cards right, I don't think winning the contest is a requirement for a "good" ending for the Carnations. Or at least, I think we'll be able get all of them to the finish line "whole" and holding on to the thing they most needed - which is not necessarily what the entered the contest for. Winning the contest might be an alternate route to a good ending for one girl, but I'm starting to get skeptical of that given just how unstable the Club is looking.


did the dev ever mentioned what will going on in the "public use"exhibition? would there be any chance that edwin won't share three carnations(or at least keep one)?
I don't think there's any guarantee there will be a "Public Use" week in this year' contest. AFICT Kathleen is a consummate showman so she changes up the themes each year. The girls might still be subjected to some or all of the Club members (particularly in Week 4), but I think the setting will be a different than the one we saw in the old clip.


I get it. It's mostly that don't particularly like it when drugs are involved and prefer when we have the choice to decline it. I can't say I like everything Edwin does (or thinks) even though I like the story, but the choice to decline earlier set up expectations that this would be the case once more if the same situation appeared again further down the line. Oh, and even though I don't like it when the MC takes part in it, high Rosalind was hilarious.
Indeed. Even more than the base expectation of choice, the MC's rationale for turning down weed when Jacob offers it way back in the prologue suggest he just didn't like the stuff. So it was definitely a headscratcher when he automatically embraced the option here.

That said, I eventually put it down to the MC desperately wanting to get the three Carnations on the same page. He probably figured that if he refused to partake in Ian's "plan," at best it would blow any chance of the girls bonding, and at worst it would start them arguing about how he dragged them here just to wuss out. I don't really buy that getting high would help the situation, but I can see why he might have felt his hands were tied once the girls started smoking. (Well, that and TD wanting to streamline the branches as he confirmed, but there is at least a Watsonian pretext.)

Yeah, I don't think there will be a free use week. My theory or prediction, is It might be passion, love, sensual, Romance type theme.

I think this cause week 1 was pleasure, nice week, humaliation and pain are bad weeks, so end on a good theme. With love or Passion, the one you are romancing the most, who you have the most chemistry,will be the winner of the whole thing or given most time and helped if you are with Hana/Mina.

Also maybe if this the theme, during the week the Carnations goals can be to plan different dates, dinner, amusement park, picnic, riding a boat, etc.

So right now that is what I think the final week will be, basically Love, Romance,etc., but I could be wrong, we shall see.

I'll admit, a love/romance theme for Week 4 is something I wouldn't see coming even with your warning here. Kathleen would never go for that; should her heart somehow grow enough sizes that day to make it possible, she'd probably just collapse from low blood pressure and die.

If, however, Kathleen did keel over and Hana simply declared the theme at the last second, I'm pretty sure I could roll with the surprise. :cool:

so if the story ends in just 8 days then i assume there will be at least 1 timeskip after the 4th week game ends right ?
because the chronology of events takes place within a very small time frame
my guess is if it had a timeskip it would atleast be a few years forward to a point where the MC is finally a doctor and by then everyone involved in the club will have moved on with their lives

Im just glad the weed "story line" wasn't some huge cringe mob plot like in Being A Dik. It's weed, your local gilf probably sells it with a free bowl of BBQ chips and Lemon Gatorade. A scene with Mina and Kathleen getting baked would a gold mine of comedy.

The Authors said we're having an epilogue. I guess we'll have different epilogues/variants according to the path we chose and our gameplay.

Kat would probably up the ante since it's the final week. As others have theorized, she'll probably get 'personal' in week 4.
For personal, only these come to mind for me:
Elias / the painting for Felicia
The coach (maybe?) or something related to the coach / possibly the ex-wife / gym for Veronica
The scam calls for Rosalind / they wouldn't mess with the daughter would they? I think that's going a tad too far but Kat is pretty loco

Oh, Kat is getting personal and she accepts no boundaries.
She's getting Elias involved in the club to ruin Felicia's life. Deprive her of the ressources she worked her entire life to gain access to.
I would not put it past Kat to force Rose to do a video call with her daughter while having a train ran on her by the patrons behind a wall or something.
I can see Kat having Samson expose his entire scheme to Veronica while railing her on stage after playing a testimony from her ex-wife about how Veronica ruined her marriage by going full workaholic for the gym.

Updated my compressed Android port of Pale Carnations with Shawnchapp's walkthrough mod to Chapter 4 Update 5.

Got some basic gestures loaded in: swipe up for save menu, swipe down to hide UI, swipe left to rollback and swipe right to skip. Save files are now stored in the Documents folder. This sometimes means that you may need to close and re-open the port after installing so the save folder is properly created.

Due to the size of this game, I've split it out so there are additional steps to install.

Install instructions:
  1. Download zip file
  2. Use an app like RAR to unzip the file. Standard browsers have issues with large zip files
  3. Install the apk file from the zip file
  4. Run the game once to load into the menu and then close the game. This will allow the port to set up the required folder in your Documents folder
  5. Move the archive.rpa file from the zip file to Documents/Eonor/e.palecarnations/game
  6. Restart the game
If you do not read the instructions and ask for help because the install doesn't work, you will be laughed at and told to read the instructions.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the ports and I'll see what I can do to get them sorted.

The incoming exhibition is week 3 exhibition, and she went personal since day 1.

I would love for that to be the case, but I bet it wont be.

Just to leave my own prediction here so I can refer back to it in the future, I'd say despite all these theories (while parts may be correct), the overall theme will be bdsm AGAIN.
