VN Ren'Py Race of Life [Act 1 v1.04.5] [Underground Studio]

I found those as well, but like I said, those don't answer my question of why she's hiding to be Russian, just if she's a spy or not.

We don't know yet. We don't even know if she is in fact Russian, that's just people speculating. Sure, she drops a couple of Russian words, but she speaks six languages, it's bound to happen. Natalya might have a Russian heritage as a name, but one of my relatives is named Natalya and we have no Russian heritage in our family whatsoever, so that in and of itself is not proof of her ethnicity.

Personally, I think the whole thing is a red herring by the devs to make us think she is a Russian spy, it's too obvious and she's a pretty bad spy if she is. A real spy wouldn't drop any clues as to what they were up to and any suspicion would be on someone you least expect, like Jasmine or Patricia. But I know there are many people that disagree with me.

She says in game that she is German (from the former East Germany), that her father is a diplomat dealing with business interests abroad, and that her mother was Russian. She is probably the 3rd or 4th oldest of the girls in your orbit in the game (28, I think).

Yeah but that is the weird part. First she says her mother was Russian, but every other time after that she tries to hide it. There are also inconsistencies with her stories that consider Germany. I also wonder why she slipped up that she has done "operations" before.

She might be a red herring in the bigger story, but what she says just don't add up over the whole of act 1.

That's the fun part, isn't it?

What do you think is better for Jasmine's path?
Let her be the only LI on the playthrough OR do not reject Veronica (and even sometimes fuck her when it's not crossing over Jasmine's scenes) so that Jammin could keep teasing V? Since the redhead finds such pleasure in it.
And another fork here is whether to bring Jasmine to the conference alone OR with V for teasing her and also with Nat for the threesome in sauna scene?

You don't get the sauna scene threesome with Nat and Jasmine if you are on the Jasmine path, so there's no plus side to taking Nat to the conference on the Jasmine path.

 

[Maccabbee]

Can you join the Jammin path after that? I was going to do a "bad boy" run and hit those students, but love those Nat scenes...

She might be a red herring in the bigger story, but what she says just don't add up over the whole of act 1.

What makes me suspicious the most is that she moves next door to the MC's best friend, shares a love of physics, expresses interest, is instantly flirty and seductive, blows MC, etc. This seems totally like an espionage setup. The father being a diplomat and her recommendation from the State Department just magnifies this.

Are you sure that's the case? Because I'm pretty certain I am on Jasmine's path and I got the threesome.

 

[cowardleech]

You get the threesome but there is no vaginal sex if you are on Jasmine's path.

 

[MiltonPowers]

If you are in relationship with both - you get a double BJ.
Just Nat - you'll have the threesome and have sex with Nat.
Just Jasmine - a who's boobs are better test.

How many LI’s are there and is their any confirmation on if all the LI’s will stay as an LI or if there will be any more of them?

 

[Ray_D]

Just when I was getting into the story - especially since the writing felt a step above your typical VN...

...when, out of nowhere, these racing animations and a mini-game showed up. Normally, I’m no racing enthusiast, and I was pretty skeptical about how that’d mesh in a visual novel, but I’m happy to eat my words. Clearly, the dev had a blast putting them together. Hats off to the dev

Oh, and let’s be real:

You will only automatically break up with V if you take Jasmine to the ball. The other LI's aren't problem.

I consider V putting you on a break and running off to Canada after the hike breaking up as well, though I suppose that comes down to someone's definiton of breaking up.

I'm almost certain (like 99.99%) you can take Nat or Allie (not sure about Jasmine) to the ball and still tell V on the hike that you are falling in love with her and she won't break up with you.

That's the thing, if you take other LIs to the ball she won't immediately go to Canada. If you choose to do things with her in all other occasions, she will stay with you.

I regret not being scumbag enough to think of this option. Past me would be disappointed in myself. So collect V's hearts, take someone else, then tell V you love her on the hike, got it. I can't say I'll ever do it given that I hate V but it's an interesting option.

I've never done it. (Because I have no interest in V), but I've never taken her to the ball on any path and still had to shut her down on the hike to get her to leave for Canada (that's the only reason I know. ).

If I could get Wyatt to stop sniffing for Allison and chase Veronica instead, I would.

I've never taken V to the ball, even though I have a V save. Especially early on in the game, I tend to make the choices that "make sense", so most of the time, that means taking Allison. Jasmine is a second choice, and a given on her path.
