I'm just saying, It's not in tags but there it is. Dev needs to make sure to tag properly or ppl will start complaining.
Dude chill, people will always find something to complain, if not lesbian sex it will be a hint of ntr or that some scene was forced on them and if not that they complain that the game have too many branches/LI's or it is too kinetic/few LI's, usually people always find something to complain about it is hard to please both Greeks and Trojans. Unfortunately there is not many like me that only post on games I enjoy, I simply ignore games I dislike (my usual "whining" is on how I dislike sandbox games but that is just a gameplay choice hehehe, a few of them are really good and I still play them).I'm just saying, It's not in tags but there it is.

Then you need to report it.I'm just saying, It's not in tags but there it is. Dev needs to make sure to tag properly or ppl will start complaining.
It's obviously a matter of interpretation, but to me Allison made a much bigger leap of faith when she invited the MC over for dinner after teaming up with him for the banquet. By that point she'd clearly recognized her conflicting feelings and made some level of peace with them. Hell, even when Allison wakes up with the MC cuddling her, she just thinks about how much she enjoys it rather than assuming the MC is pulling something, so clearly she's not blindsided by her feelings.I usually share your opinions mostly but this time i disagree. I think the development of the MC/Allie relationship is completly fine, we have to consider that just a few days passed at all since they really started to reconnect.
Allison being already asleep didnt really mattered imo in this case as both have already confirmed that they feel/felt like that, to other people and even to each other (at the ball for example), it was more about the MC realising it himself.
And i dont consider allison being aroused around the MC as character regression, she wasnt just eager for his cock, she is and was eager to share all these things together. Being the one who sits up front in deliah, being the one waking up in his arms and yeah of course being the one having sex with him. Its all part of the same thing: A life together.
Its kinda obvious that she never stopped wanting this and felt forced to divorce the MC, i think the possibility of the two of them breaking up simply never crossed her mind even when their relationship was bad.
And really the evening/night just after you had this future-deciding conference where you have been standing and talking all day long, isnt really the best time to have a deep emotional conversation about the past and future.
I think when being back home and esp after receiving the good information about lily's health is a way better opportunity for that.
I guess, but how long does it take to swing by the institute and fund the next level of care? You can't tell me Cooper would be offended if the MC missed the cookout for that.Its kind of the same like my answer to the first point but he got this money like 40 hours or something ago and had to prepare for the conference, there just wasnt really enough time (or at least its plausible that there may have not been time).
I think this will feels less confusing after the next episode is released and were playing it in one go.
Given the giant blue gemstone, I'd assumed that was just a ring Allison wears in place of the wedding ring in formal settings, either to snub the MC a little more, or to discourage would-be paramours. Or both.Something else i not really noticed since i did a new playthrough just now, Allison started to wear her wedding ring again since the ball if the mc takes her with him which is kinda funny.

Her best.Are we missing a tag here? What is the blonde doing?
Exactly my thoughts when I played yesterday, thanks!As for the update, it started well but I felt it petered out towards the end. Granted, I'm only playing a solo-Allison route which is clearly not the intended experience, but I was hoping for a more significant emotional connection with Allison in this episode. That doesn't really happen; the relationship is slowly mending and we can surprise Allison if we accept her advice, but overall the two are still dancing around the past (and the MC still leers at everything in sight no matter how hard I pull on the reins, which doesn't help). The closest we see to a genuine heart to heart winds up wasted when it's revealed Allison was already asleep. Instead we learn that Allison is feeling horny around the MC, which honestly feels like a regression after seeing her cook the MC dinner and letting him stay the night a couple updates ago. Maybe my tastes are just too eclectic, but as much as I adore the character I feel like her route - at least as I played it - doesn't flow very well.
Sure ppl are always going to complain, so no reason to give them justification to do so. examples you gave is choices a Dev makes to do his VN. This is miss tagging a game an actual mistake made and a reason for someone to complain. I've complained about certain tags in other VN's and ppl always tells me to just "go play one without that tag then" So i do. So when a someone like me goes to play a game without a certain tag like lesbian you do like i did you check tags and future tags and then you play but then go to find out it actually miss tagged. This one has been out a while if dev had it planned it should have been tagged properly.Dude chill, people will always find something to complain, if not lesbian sex it will be a hint of ntr or that some scene was forced on them and if not that they complain that the game have too many branches/LI's or it is too kinetic/few LI's, usually people always find something to complain about it is hard to please both Greeks and Trojans.

Diplomatic members in top positions are usually either very close to, or straight members of secret services. Working for embassies and related activities is one of the biggest red flags for detecting spies.It kinda makes the theory/hints of her being a spy less valid, her being the daughter of an ambassador is something which is easly to verify and should have been verified when she entered college.
Solo Allie route as well. If you go through with the Vanessa sex scene (I loaded and did it after just for viewing purposes!), Jake mentions that it's the engagement ring. Here's the exchange, read from bottom up:Given the giant blue gemstone, I'd assumed that was just a ring Allison wears in place of the wedding ring in formal settings, either to snub the MC a little more, or to discourage would-be paramours. Or both.
Are you kidding? I can barely take any woman seriously if she doesn't look at me with at least some disdain.She didnt suddenly realised "oh fuck, i still love him", imo its more like a "why do i still love this asshole?!" since the first time she appeared in this avn.
Do you consider that not sexy?
It's obviously a matter of interpretation, but to me Allison made a much bigger leap of faith when she invited the MC over for dinner after teaming up with him for the banquet. By that point she'd clearly recognized her conflicting feelings and made some level of peace with them. Hell, even when Allison wakes up with the MC cuddling her, she just thinks about how much she enjoys it rather than assuming the MC is pulling something, so clearly she's not blindsided by her feelings.
Given that, you'd think she or the MC would at least acknowledge the elephant in the room, but neither does so. Instead they keep acting surprised when the other DOESN'T lash out at them, despite that being the norm in their relationship since the game started. I know the game has only been short time relative to their backstories, but it's been a very memorable time. That makes it feels like we're stuck going in circles rather than actually moving forward (however slowly).
Second, I worry this is going to be used as an excuse for Allison to start getting lewd scenes with the MC without them getting back together, and that would probably kill her character for me. I get that it's not much fun having to turn down most of the game to solo Allison, but I really think that's what the circumstances demand. Allison's LI path needs to be focused on rebuilding the emotions and trust the two used to have to the exclusion of all else; trying to sexualize things before that should be a surefire ticket to the MC cheating on her again.
Its not possible for allison to end up in a bed with him in a bad relationship playthrough which makes this point kinda moot or am i wrong?In that context, focusing on Allison's libido was exactly the wrong move IMHO. First, because I don't buy it. If Allison hasn't started to come around on the MC, I don't think she'd be attracted to him in the slightest no matter how horny she was; if anything, she'd have taken any lingering sexual frustration out on the MC for groping her. Even if she had started coming around on the MC enough to feel aroused, she wouldn't stick around in bed enjoying the sensation. She'd get up and fret about how to handle these feelings - from a safe distance.
I guess, but how long does it take to swing by the institute and fund the next level of care? You can't tell me Cooper would be offended if the MC missed the cookout for that.
But even if the MC didn't have time or doesn't need more payments at the moment, the game needs to do a better job of explaining this. The overriding goal of the story has been to get money for Lily's treatment. The plot suddenly hands the MC a giant stack of cash and Cooper says to take care of Lily... then we proceed to spend the whole update doing everything but that. It's a really weird writing choice.
Is that a thing somewhere to not wear the wedding ring during your wedding lol? Shes literally wearing it during their wedding and its the same ring. Like how is that supposed to happen? Putting the ring off after your newlywed husband put it on her finger and switching to another ring?Given the giant blue gemstone, I'd assumed that was just a ring Allison wears in place of the wedding ring in formal settings, either to snub the MC a little more, or to discourage would-be paramours. Or both.
Also, she isn't wearing the ring when the MC picks her up, but she is when he wakes her up at the hotel, then she isn't again in the lobby. Maybe she just likes to fidget with it?
I mean thats what i was talking about, if her Dad is a ambassador (which would have needed to be verified when she registered at the college) it would be imo less likely for her to be a company spy and if at all she would (probably) be a state spy.Diplomatic members in top positions are usually either very close to, or straight members of secret services. Working for embassies and related activities is one of the biggest red flags for detecting spies.
In lore it's very openly implied that she isn't who she says she is by:
-Her being intentionally vague about her relationship to her family, how she is related to them and where she comes from. Actual aristocrats can't shut up about their name and family relationships, they sometimes can be lazy about describing it to everyone around, but they are never intentionally vague about such things in a meaninful conversation.
-In the car scene, she talked about her past work in "operations", how she treated people working in them (hinting she fucked them to keep them happy). She immediately realised the term was too suspicious and she tried to cover it, explaining it as a normal civilian term. But that's spy terminology and usual tactics (fucking around, both inside her team and also fucking their targets), which doesn't fit with her being an aristocrat into physics.
-She was recommended to the University for a bridge course by the NATO General Secretary, which is the (nominally) highest ranking member of the NATO. People with those kind of connections are never concerned about the validity of their diplomas, they get special privileges which bypass normal requirements for nobodies, they don't need to wait around a professor and a car mechanic. She wouldn't require such a course in the first place, her European diplomas would be immediately admited in the USA.
There might be more because I'm still mid episode 2.
Out of lore, but also mentioned by MC (let's consider this is a world were hot women are into physics, but the MC said that a woman like that doesn't exist in reality, so even in such a world she is exceptional), she is simply too hot for her to be:
-Acting like that with a nobody (MC), going straight for him to fuck him for no reason at all, even when she didn't know him yet she was talking to his friend to meet him.
-Associating with nobodies (MC, his best friend and wife), those women are always travelling around the world and surrounded by the richest and most powerful.
-Into physics, such socially active and pretty women don't touch sciences with a 10 foot pole, specially if they aren't socially awkward (she is the opposite). There are (VERY few) hot women in physics, but they are either socially awkward (they don't fit elsewhere) or leave physics before graduating (when they discover they are much more valuable in other fields).
So more than likely she is either a state spy, or a company spy.
For me that was evident since the start, her constant nagging to the MC about an event in their lives that players had no choice about it leads mostly for a hate route, was the only interactions that really annoyed me in the game. But Allison is a polarizing LI, people or will hate her or love her, and for me Allison and Veronica are the least interesting LI's in the context of the game story about racing and specially after reading the short introduction in the OP and kind of hinting to be a "free spirit" aiming to rebuild his life after a divorce.I'm afraid that her only "content" will be in the hate route...
Never thought it was a good idea bringing an EX or a current GF/Wife/Partner to the start of an adult game unless the game story revolves primarily around those relationships, and usually they are not stories for my taste anyway. Hate routes don't really seem fun for me either.Meet Jake, a 30-something divorcee rebuilding his life.
He’s smart, attractive and confident, and he knows it.
Meet smoking hot women, participate in illegal street races, win money, and achieve your goal!
Have fun guiding Jake's life and choose the best path (and the sexiest woman) possible.
I haven't run into any bugs in the course of normal gameplay (though really I only played one route), but I did get a lot of errors trying to load old saves. What's more, even if I rolled back or ignored those errors, I ran into a new error just trying to access the menu (by hitting the right mouse button or Escape).i only unlocked one scene in the gallery in this update? the kris & alexa scene thats it! plenty of exception errors, everytime he gets a phone call or text it crashes and my night ended at the elevator cause it crashes to the main menu.
anybody have a universal gallery unlocker that works on this game?
