So, money on who was involved with the daughter's accident? I think it's going to be one of the girls just because if one of the "bad guys" did it it would be too easy of a moral choice to make
It was the doctor, who wanted a guinea pig for her new therapy.

EDIT: why am I always so "lighthearted"?

Thing is, Kris isn't one of the "main 5" so it would be easier to make her complicit. Like, what do we get if the culprit is simply one of Toby's thugs, or Wyatt, or whomever mysterious third party did this for some reason or another (like it could also be a completely freak accident by a totally unrelated "normal" person, and that's in a way the twist)? I don't want a twist for the sake of a twist, but rather a resolution that makes the player feel like something big just happened. If the culprit is someone we hate already or have no reason to care for besides getting the option to exact revenge on them or not I feel like that'd be pretty cheap.
Even if she isn't one of the main 5, you can bet your ass that people will take offense nonetheless.
There's a game out there where the dev had to physically remove a scene for a side character that had less than 4 scenes in the entire game because people threw an absolute shitfit.

Basically, there's zero reason for the dev to torpedo one of his characters and make them completely unusable for the rest of the game when there's already some well established villains to point towards.

Wasn't it an accident? Forget if it was implied otherwise.

Just starting your game, and it already has my attention. I did want to offer you a suggestion/observation. In the English translation (or at least American English), high schools (1If3-18 years old) have principals. Universities have presidents or chancellors. If William is over the entire university, he should be one of those titles, NOT principal. If he is over the science and technology college within the University, but not over the entire University, his title would be "Dean." I think that's the same way it works in Great Britain, but I could be wrong about the UK universities. Anyway, thanks for the great game so far.

It can't be LI because that will put an end to her path for 95% of players which will make her useless for the dev. No way will she be able to justify herself in the story.
Unfortunately, most AVN players are so "vulnerable" that they consider LI having an ex 10 years ago as cheating so imagine what will happen to them after it's revealed that Cris for example got paid to hit the daughter or Natalya was ordered by KGB to run her over so that Jake would have to speed up the development of the battery.
That's why only safe tropes and non provoking plots in the majority of games
While I agree that a lot of people on this forum get a bit too easily butthurt over unconventional storylines, it is worth pointing out that the whole draw to playing these games is to bang babes. It simply doesn't make much sense to give romanceable characters storylines that will make you hate them. Storylines with drama, angst and tragedy, sure, but giving players a love interest option who they will inevitably hate in a dating sim is kind of like releasing a TBS where it doesn't matter what builds you go with because the final boss has a single hit point and dies instantly to any attack. Doesn't matter if there was a very good thematic reason for it, your playerbase will inevitably feel disappointed.

Yes. Of course, it could be a 'so obvious it isn't'...but that would in all honesty just be lame as hell. We know who did it, the MC recognised him, he all but admits it when MC and Maggie arrive at the house.

Now exactly on who's orders it was...etc etc...well...but then you have to ask...why? It's really overly convoluted.

There's the mysterious man who knocks MC out afterwards. Given his frame and and the talk about the accent, I do think it's the "Antonio" guy that visits Jasmine later

Another small update!

We’ve added Traditional Chinese support, and the Official Guide is now also available in French!

We’re really happy that even more players can now enjoy Race of Life Act 1 in a more accessible way!

1760811174724.jpeg

As for Act 2 - we’re working hard on it! Dozens of new animations are already finished, and we’re also introducing a completely new optional mini-game - something totally different and not necessarily related to racing or erotic scenes.

Speaking of animations, the upcoming Act will also feature optional sound effects!

Each girl will have her own unique voice and reactions, and we’ve put a lot of effort into making everything sound as natural and realistic as possible. Many of you mentioned this in feedback from Act 1, so we’re really happy to bring that improvement to Act 2!

1760811321232.jpeg

Of course, all sounds will be fully optional - you’ll be able to easily toggle them on or off in the settings. We know not everyone likes having those sounds forced in this type of game.

You’ll get your first look at some of the new animations in the Act 2 trailer, which we’re currently preparing for the Steam page!

In the meantime, here are a few fresh renders from the upcoming Act!

Yeah same, the racing one nice indeed nice and fits the game but we already have the racing minigame, i doubt it will be another racing one and even than i would say the existing one is fine enough
