VN Ren'Py Project Myriam - Life and Explorations [Ch. End.01a+p] [Zorlun]

[Spawk]

Obviously this update seems bad to people, but in reality it's the foundation for future updates where endings will be added.

 

[Zorlun]

Do nothing but a bad ending in this update? fuvck it, i'm out

I feel like you're probably falling onto the 3rd 'bad' ending without knowing why... It's either:
- Bad ratio of 'Sadness'/'Happiness'.,
- Not having solved the Jarvis problem and ending up morally broken by him as Myriam chose to service him to avoid more trouble.,
The first case is hard to get honestly, so I would look into the second one, which in this case you just have to load an older save and solve the Jarvis problem on the first or second occasion, either by not giving in into his bullying; asking for help with one of the cops (if you're romancing him); using his son Bill to get help; or even fully ignore the problem.

Also, as said multiple times during the past month and a few more times during the last few days since release, this update is 1 scene leading to the final point before all the coming endings + 3 'bad' endings that could be attained earlier in game...

So, I'm sorry to disappoint and thank you for the time you gave the game, I wish you all the best and to find that game out there that will fulfill your desires, or even start your own like I did, after all this frustration of not finding what I wanted was what motivated me to get on this adventure. ^^

Obviously this update seems bad to people, but in reality it's the foundation for future updates where endings will be added.

Thank you for reading, I appreciate it.

A few things, I don't remember who 'Plunder' is, or the Vet Clinic, or the Lady's Club, or any Office Work and I don't remember any of the social jobs work the old people or the prisoners.

Honestly I don't know them all either. I think I ended up down the path of helping the troubled teens instead of the other social worker jobs. I haven't gotten around to re-re-replaying the game to see all the paths (yet).

But what I do remember:

Wouldn't mind an ending with the young kids at the river, maybe catching her sucking off hammer or fucked by Hammer.

That last scene with them is still one of my favorites. Maybe a reference will be woven into the Hammer ending?

 

[greyab]

Well, that was certainly a very unhelpful update. All I get is a bad ending (kidnapped and mind-broken ending), no matter what I do. I have to wonder why the bad ending is so unavoidable, which is a bit disappointing. its a shame to find that the ending is so locked in. Suppose I will have to restart

- 'Plunder' is the phone app, leading to sort of an influencer like ending.
- 'Vet clinic' is a little general beastie ending linked to an encounter made in the stables for Hammer.
- 'Lady's club' is as answered the naughty club Evelyn and Myriam visit with a set of glory holes.
- 'Office work' is about an ending where Myriam decide to go work at the office where Anthony worked before (linked to her father's business).
- 'Social works old folks and prisoners' is about the two other jobs I missed in the flow of things, giving Myriam an opportunity to focus on it in the endings.

Copy/paste of the answer to the problem you're probably having, 'bad' ending 3, with first the probable reasons, either:
- Bad ratio of 'Sadness'/'Happiness'.
- Not having solved the Jarvis problem and ending up morally broken by him as Myriam chose to service him to avoid more trouble.
The first case is hard to get honestly, so I would look into the second one, which in this case you just have to load an older save and solve the Jarvis problem on the first or second occasion, either by not giving in into his bullying; asking for help with one of the cops (if you're romancing him); using his son Bill to get help; or even fully ignore the problem.

You got to make the right choices to get through it.

I have 30 play-throughs. I got bad ending 1 once, bad ending 2 once, and bad ending 3 twice. That left 26 other endings poised for the remaining final endings when they are released. This may have been a slightly disappointing update, but there's no way I'm giving up on this game now after having played it from the beginning. There's a lot of loose ends to tie up with all the various characters. Three endings per release represents a lot of work. I appreciate the developer's efforts.

Exactly this.

I have saves set up for pretty much all endings and variables...good, middle of the road and terribly bad.

Well I'll just say that's fucking dumb. Came looking in this thread and apparently a lot of people had my experience, bad ending number 3 unavoidable. I had two saves, quite different ones. Maybe I could have done like 3 or 4 but what are you even looking for? Like there's no obvious paths. I just chose one save to be always dominant whenever possible, one always submissive whenever possible, and just made judgment calls for choices that could fit either or neither. But I'm not going to experiment in the blind with the metric ton of variables here to see which one random combination pans out.

At the very least, my 2 saves were so different, and so clear and distinct in their choices, that with good game design, they shouldn't have resulted in the same unavoidable ending (with unavoidable I here mean just that from the point of my last save on, loading in this new update, there was nothing I could have done to avoid it). I clearly set the MC up for two very different paths. So the fact that I should have still made different choices, choices that might have been totally unscrutable or random in their intentions, with no foreshadowing or guidelines, to not get that bad ending, is just fucking stupid.

I'm actually annoyed at how angry this update made me. This was one of my favorite games. I thought the last few updates were already a bit weaker than previous ones, they seemed to turn down the kink instead of up, but this ending has really frustrated me to no end. I hope at some point someone comes out with like a gallery or just a complete in-game walkthrough that guides you choice by choice to the right endings, but I won't turn myself into the proverbial monkey with a typewriter to see if I can somehow churn out Shakespeare.

EDIT: There is also a walkthrough pdf made by hermesh, the link is on my Discord server (follow the long ass link in my signature), though it has not been updated since around mid chapter 5 due to the guy being busy in life, but it might help you none the less.

EDIT: I must say, it's crazy to see how many people made that specific choice of pushing Myriam into servicing Jarvis, I really thought it was a very small niche choice, or maybe I'm just surprised because people are more vocal about it in their own surprise about this specific 'bad' ending...

 

[Maviarab]

and just made judgment calls for choices that could fit either or neither.

And that's the ending you got. Welcome to branching gaming....

That's a bad ending? Sounds like a pretty good ending to me.

 

[IndustrialFallan]

Hey I'm playing the android port version and can't get the Anthony route so can someone confirm is that route not available or I'm supposed to do a set of choices to get his route because I already tried submitting and trusting him but still the only option is to kick him out

 

[TomUK]

You get the chance to kick him out after catching him in his office, you can believe him and not kick him out, think it depends on Myriam's willpower at that stage, then the girl turns up at the house and Myriam kicks him out for good.
There is a message at that time for a possible ending, but as far as I know that's not in the game yet.

I won't say what happens next as I don't know if you're there yet.

For Anthony's 'bad' ending you need the gangbang scene with his office colleagues, which need you to not kick him out previously (at the end of chapter 1).
But there is no prerequisite for not kicking him out, whatever happens, you should be able to make this choice.

EDIT: Wait, I think I miss read the kicking out, do you mean for the 'bad' ending choice? If you still can't make the choice despite having the prerequisite, the problem might be coming from a mod not up to date, I noticed that a few people have shared screen shots of choices and errors around the subject that has been changed and fixed since then, but some mods as they are built, rewrite some of my writing by an older one (if not up to date), which will definitely cause the problem of the choice still being greyed out.
If so the solution should be simple, redownloading the game without mods.

the gallery is update?

Nice update my friend!

I am really happy to read that My might not be able to get pregnant any more. So I don't have to fear for that in the coming updates.

Cheers!

 

[sharpys]

Whelp, guess I'm skipping this update

 

[afterlights]

Obviously this update seems bad to people, but in reality it's the foundation for future updates where endings will be added.

That's my favorite part of the update. The (currently unavailable) choices reveal how much content is yet to come.

 

[DM72]

I think there is a problem of either mod or saves corrupted by mod, because all the game is asking at this choice now is this:

All that's needed to take the second option (the own I show in the quote is the to have participated in the gangbang by the office team (which of course necessitate Myriam to not kick Anthony out of the house previously), but from a few screenshot I show showing the choice moment, I can see they all have the old version before this update, which means that there is a mod in action that do not have taken in the new changes.

Reload the game clean, and retry a save (rollback a few lines maybe as well), if you want to push it you can even restart the game to this point, the choice is at the end of chapter 2.

That's normal, this update, beside the 3 bad endings, has brought the game to the end line, meaning this particular choice, where the player can see the endings that will come in the future updates (right now I'm on the paramour Danny one)

Myriam getting kidnapped is normal, it happens at the end of chapter 5, then the previous update was all about her escaping or being rescued, after that I need more detail on the bad ending you're talking about, if it's number 2, finishing up as a sex slave for the Sawyer family, just rollback to when she's waking up in the barn the first time, there is multiple ways to escape if she can't be rescued due to some choices made previously.

Is it that surprising that a game I said is heavily based on choices and their consequences will put importance on some choices and their consequences... There is a lot do in the game and a lot of choices, and now comes a lot of endings, not all of them can be seen depending on the choices made during the game, but players will still be able to see quite a few of them in a single run, that's the point of the final choice at the end of this update, to give the player the possibility to see multiple endings without having to redo the game each time for each ending.

And I must say, being compared to Fallout 1 and 2 is definitely a nice point for me, love those games. ^^

Oh ok, thanks!!! I can't wait to see them, but I'm sad that it's ending. Are there plans for more in the future some day?
