VN Ren'Py Completed Retrieving The Past [S3 E.6 & Epilogue] [MrKnobb]

[DrakoGhoul]

It was not necessary to play for the father, then you would understand what the charm of the game is.

Yeah, no i played as the son...

They still drooled over the father(minus the mom), hence why i said it wasn't good as I'm referencing the Sons Pov. If you liked it thats fine. For me, keywords ME, it was too much dad worshiping from the other women and no matter how you played they still wanted the dad more from what i remember.

Fun and entertainment. Nice renders by the way.

This is your biggest mistake - you would be silent and everything would be fine, everyone would wait in hopes and dreams, and you took and told everything, revealing the whole plot. And where is the intrigue now?

The girls were never the central point to the story, they are the icong so to speak. The main focus is what's going on with Adam and that group.

Like Knobble says, it's a story based game with porn elements, the porn is secondary.

They put everything about what will happen with the girls upfront so there can be no mistakes but that was only ever the tip of the game.

So disapointed from this long awaited update !!! First the hole story is to build up the harem with al the hot girls and now it get destroyed after the first decission . A small tip for the dev , when you wanna cutout a harem route let it from beginning , with this dramastic change you destroyed the feeling of the story completely!!!

Seriously, if you are going to make a troll post at least do it well.

This might have worked in a few days but straight away when all the talk is still going on.

Kudo's for throwing a joke post in though, just a bit soon for it to work as well as it should have done.

Have you ever seen anyone who is interested, what's going on with Adam and that group.

Yes, most of the people that play and patron it.

We're here for the story.

Considering the porn side is only a small part of it as season 2 has shown, if that's the main reason for you being here over the story then would it not be far better to find something more porn focused?

This clearly isn't the game for you.

Solid and good update. I use three saves for each girl, so the choice is not a problem for me(it's a game after all).

In the same place it always is - in "How"

Did you think James Bond wouldn't win? Did you think John Wick would fail to kill the guy? Did you have any doubts as to what kind of story you were getting into? No. Does that spoil the intrigue, the excitement? Again, no.

As I explained the last time this exact point was raised, even long months after continuously telling people there would be no incest, and with them mostly (not entirely) clinging to that to tell them that meant Nicky couldn't be his daughter ... there was still just that hint of doubt. That sense of uncertainty. And even if you remained rock solid in the belief that Nicky couldn't be the daughter, those who got it were still intrigued at how it would play out, and what the characters themselves might think or do about the suspicions.

That you don't get this makes me think you are not much of a movie buff or at least, never thrillers.

At 16, it was interesting and fascinating, at 20, it became funny, at 30, it became stupid and boring.

I don't know what it is you are looking for.

It seems every film, book and TV show and game is stupid and boring because plot points are easy to figure out so what is it you are looking for?

This clearly isn't the game for you.

Look, there are plenty — literally hundreds — of games on F95 where a harem is possible (or even planned). Retrieving the Past isn't a game for you if harem is what you're wanting. That doesn't make this latest season some kind of bait-and-switch as implied. It just means you misunderstood the point of the story. The basic plot has been, all along, that there is some secret government program that has at least partially gotten out of hand. (And, ofc, more details and plot points have been introduced as things have progressed.)

It's been incredibly clear since at least Series/Season 2 that a harem isn't going to happen. Nearly all the women from S1 stopped going after the MC's cock and moved on with things. For instance, while Mei still loves the MC, she's not in love with him anymore. The Nicky-Vicky branch has been made clearly since even S1; they would force you to make a choice. (Hell, the MC himself says he'll need to choose.) Amber is actually his daughter, and when you see the choice for Nicky (pursue romantically or not) it's clear that the MC isn't OK with incest; so that rules Amber out.

If you had the impression that there might be a harem and this were still S1, I could understand, but any illusions of that should have been lost by playing through S2. I understand that you are disappointed, but the good news is that there are loads of harem games. If you haven't already played them, you might consider Midlife Crisis, Parental Love, Polarity, Soul of the Paintings, WVM, Bad Bobby Saga, Bad Company, Lust Epidemic, Harem Hotel, or Harem Resort — just to name a few off the top of my head. All of those either have strongly established paths for a harem or are specifically set up for the MC to build a harem.

Ok... I like this game. Really like... Interesting plot. Interesting characters. Good renders!
BUT... (ther is always a "but")... I am a little disappointed that there is no Harem path. Just a little ... And this doesn't mean that I still like the game. Anyway... it's just my opinion.
On the other hand, I still have the hope that in one of those "Epilogs" named by the Dev, I'll be surprised and find that Harem path... You know... Everything is possible!

HAHA... seeing as i'm Evil incarnate.. Can't touch this HAHAHAHHAHAHA

Oh wow!

I was checking a lot of postings but not finding how to start Season two from Season one. I tried using the save file from Season one to Season two and was getting a error message. Any suggestions???

Don't try to load a save from season one, just start a new game. At a certain point in season two it will ask you which of the two mains from season one your decisions favored. You can choose Vicky, Nicky, or neither.

Thank you kindly, I didn't go far enough to see the selection part...

 

[Nightless]

Yeah I kinda lost most of my interest. First you have all this beautiful girls around you and for 2 Seasons you can have fun with most of them and after that you have to pick one? Kinda boring really.

Only for one season really; in Season 2, the MC was comatose / bedridden for the first part, doing training for the next, and finally going in disguise to visit people he cared about (like accompanying his niece). The only action he got in Season 2 was a BJ, and it was only if you spent the night in the cabin with Vicky or Nicky. The rest of the lewd content was other people's sex (a couple of different lesbian scenes), Amber's dream, and Vicky/Nicky/Eve memories.

He didn't do anything with anyone in season 2, he was left for dead at the end of season 1 and spent all season 2 recovering.

The sex party stopped half way through season 1.

Some of you are making this shit up as you go along.

I wanted to do a AL type choice based game but I lack the coding skills. (I even lack the ability to type correctly, ask Rogue)

I DID NOT want to make same type of novel/game that are 90% presented here on F95 and in VN porn world. Linear style seemed best and the little bit of coding (Mostly DocPink helped a lot at start of RTP with my coding) I decided to give players a choice to choose one girl. Was mostly Rogue before joining the team that suggested I do this.

I'd love a review from you. I am sorry you were expecting something else and then got this... But "this" is what I am giving to everyone.
I will not change my/our vision, I will not apologise for not giving everyone a Harem/Incest. If people do not like that, by all means there are other games that do have those kinks and I enjoy them too...

My next game will have harem/incest/light fem dom not cause it's a niche I actually like myself but it will fit perfectly into the story I am planning.

RTP has always been something close to reality. It's possible to have pheromone's making chicks hot, it's possible to have genetic enhancements etc... It's not that far fetched.

I hope you and others who feel the same at least stick it out to the end and then let us know how it was...

I'm not surprised, just disappointed, I knew that we would get to this point, but I though that maybe... just maybe, more options/choices would be presented, but perhaps it was just me expecting something less cliche.

I just think you missed the point of my comment:
My point is, if you want a dating simulator at least turn the game into a proper one, with CHOICES that incline you to a different girl (idk, maybe some point system), cause having JUST ONE CHOICE to make is (i really didn't wanted to use this word) lazy.

ALSO... The dev totally build the harem atmosphere since the beginning by making ALL GIRLS insta-wet when they see the MC (and i'm not talking about just the pheromone power), and making the MC (without any player choice) care romantically for most of them

The game have change his narrative along the way, some retcons (that was properly incorporated in the story, at least), I'm surprised that you are surprised by the people that didn't like it.

OBS: When i say the MAYBE i should write a review, that comment was just the base, of course i would write other things about the others aspects of the game, but still no one would care, so why should I.

 

[Avaron1974]

I'm surprised that you are surprised by the people that didn't like it.

Not what I said.

I said i'm surprised people don't understand it, everythig is explained in the plot yet people here are surprised by what's happened.

The women getting wet over MC in season 1 was all about the pheromones. He lost those and the only people still interested were those he'd built a bond with.

There was never a harem set up, it was purely sex. The only ones to go deeper were Nicky and Vicky and that's when it started to steer towards the choice.

At the start of Season 2 you were given a choice of who to share the bed with, that was the big hint that it was down to those 3.

Vicky and Nicky were both looking for a relationship, not to share. They agreed to carry on until Jensen made his mind up who he wanted. Eve didn't believe he would be interested in her until later on.

Jensen himself has shown no signs of wanting multiple partners. He even said his problems would be solved with a harem but that's not who he is.

People keep bringing up the sex from season 1 like it mattered, it didn't. It was only a thing while Jensen had his pheromones, as soon as they were gone the sex party stopped. He hasn't done anything at all throughout season 2 given that he nearly died and spent it recovering.

The only people having sex in season 2 were the lesbians and his sister.

The devs have been up front from the start both with narrative in game and on the forums that Jensen would only ever get 1 woman.

This is what surprises me, it's all in the game yet people seem to have invented their own narrative with some putting far too much importance on sex scenes from the first season.

I don't expect everyone to like it, I never once said anything about that, my whole point here has been just how many people either didn't understand the plot or completely ignored it.
