Jessica and Skylar being, for now, exclusive, makes sense to me. Jessica needs to feel like she's more important to the MC than Skylar if she is going to allow herself to start a relationship with him. If he has a girlfriend, especially if that girlfriend is her best friend, she's going to back off. So she needed him to choose.
I'm confident that over time, when she is feeling more secure in her relationship with the MC, she'll be more than happy to include Skylar.
I'm not sure the other way around would have worked. That's why I chose Jessica. I could be wrong, and either choice gets you there. Though it was hinted that would not be the case, I may have misunderstood.
Easy enough to go back and get the full Skylar content if so. If you know how to modify in game vars as I do (not to be done without sufficient caution, because you could break things) you can even see both now without a mod (I try not to play with mods, unless they're like the unofficial incest mod, which only changes relationships in a logical way and nothing else).

Nerd! Kidding, I noticed this too, but no biggie.
I'm not sure what all the complaining's about. I laughed my ass off, and there were some hot scenes in this update. Thanks for keeping on with this story, Jestur! It's easily one of my favorite adult VNs.
The quality in this last update really shows some love too. The backgrounds and characters looked great, and thank you for the multiple angles everywhere!

Ep 3 same conversation that ends in spanking/analingus/cunnilingus/blowjob scene, which is just before meeting Luna in present day when remembers she left the oven on at home.
The most reasonable thing to be stuck on this update was the lack of player agency which is magnifed by the MC pulling a dumb brain moment. You aren't given a choice to trust Skylar or not you fully do (even if you the human player can obviously tell she is lying), which is right next to a scene where you again have no way "stop" or make a choice (BDSM with Riley). Obviously people will complain about coomer stuff like "I don't like tattoos" or "muh waifu not being subservient" but for you to notice the complaints but say you aren't sure makes it seem like every possible reason to complain is "invalid".

Yes it was fine and was always going to be fine because it wasn't time for the update to end but come on people saying player agency was weak this update aren't being harsh or crazy.
I think the MC choices to trust her because of how much he likes her and she seems like a caring person in the past. Because from what I recall of the MC's personal thought he knew she was lying / not telling him everything, but didnt want to push for more information just yet. Since she just came back.
I 100% agree with the riley stuff tho I did choose to trust her even if it makes no sense. In part because she did tell use what she did to the principal so even if she is lying I dont think she was being completely dishonest and well curiosy won over common sense on this one because of how crazy Riley is. Tho I did hear the dev added an addition choice so we arent forced into the lewd scene. if we do trust her.
How much does the MC imply he knows shes lying? He makes an offhand mention of tattoos but by the time they are at the restaurant both are more or less acting like they never vanished for a day/multiple days
Either way it is still a negative point towards player agency because in the same update we are given the choice to trust someone who lied to us....Why not give skylar the same choice?

A hacker/impossibly talented programmer claiming to be the reason someone did not show up at work/was in the hospital is not tangible proof......she is creating AI's that are hilariously ahead of what we have now she can look into someones medical records
(or pay one of her many hacker associates she met via bitcoin) we didnt see the bat, didnt see a picture of her at the scene etc

I think the MC talked about how he knew Skylar was lying at the start in his house id have to get a new save up to speed to double check. Just something I do recall I felt that was worth mentioning. But yeah you are right just cause the MC knows she is lying would be nice to decide if he still trust her.How much does the MC imply he knows shes lying?

The MC didn't see proof of the bat yeah but we the player did at the end of the last update I think it was. Which is why I dont think she is being entirely dishonest but yeah she is still a liar and crazy as hell no one should trust her other than for curiosity sake because of how fun / funny she can be cause she is over the top crazy.

Well Faraday cages only attenuate the EM field. If you want total cancellation, you have to go with a solid Faraday shield, but an incomplete cage can still screw with the signal somewhat effectively depending on distance to the source. My house is just balloon framing with giant windows. The mesh in the stucco siding interferes with the 5G, so I have nearly no reception in one half of the house unless I step outside.Nice update, although it felt like a setup one. Some great shots in Skylar's scenes and Riley's was funny. Will be nice to see the next main story progress. The number of LIs is kinda worrying, Dani and possibly Lizzy were added in this one. Hard to see them all getting proper attention without the game taking crazy amounts of time.
Gotta say, Faraday cage mention while in front of a glass wall took me out of it
The bigger technical conundrum is how she can turn her whole-house Faraday cage on and off. She says "That's because we're at security level three. Which essentially makes this house a Faraday cage.", which implies that other Defcon levels don't interfere with the cell signal. If that's the case, she must be using an active intervention like you mentioned. So I take the word "essentially" to mean "not actually, but having the same intrinsic effect as".
Yes we the player got to see her beat his ass with the bat but what proof does the MC have of the whole situation?
Yeah just one of those times that makes no sense for a player like me that doesnt play a game looking through the eyes of the MC but uses knowledge only the player has. But hard for me to forget to do that which is why my opinion is more negative than it should be of her lol.

So after finishing the update I have to say, I'm not a fan of Skylar's tatoos. It looks like bumper stickers on a Ferrari.
Still a great game though.

Defcon level 5 will prevent time from entering/leaving her house it will be like some sort of a home in a rift
I would say "he got jumped yesterday by a crazy person" is a normal thing for someone to say, you wouldnt "say he got jumped yesterday by a normal person." but i will admit i cant discount the fact that Riley could have raised the bar for crazy people so much that random attackers are no longer crazy
I feel like this is one of the lager moments of dissonance between the player and MC in a game that i dont recall having too many moments where we as the player know something glaringly obvious that the MC ignores. In an average game that would be par for the course but i feel like it hits harder here because of the overall quality

I think you mean Defcon 1. Defcon goes in descending order. Defcon 5 is "least severe" or pretty much everyday.Defcon level 5 will prevent time from entering/leaving her house it will be like some sort of a home in a rift
I haven't been able to be as active as I want to be in the thread because I'm in the middle of moving to another house, and my PC is now packed up, but I have been peeking in the thread from time to time. Let me address a couple of your concerns. First, Riley's bedroom scene is not forced upon the player if you choose to trust her, and you can back out of Skylar's route in ep6. There were some errors, and I added the choice on the other as planned in the first place.
Please be aware that this is an old leaked beta version, and the version on Patreon already has these changes and fixes. There is still a problem with Skylar/Jessica routes that needs fixing, and I plan to fix it before the public version is out.
Yes, I admit that the MC is a little dumb and slow when it comes to feeling out the other LI, he admits it many times. He does question her and knows something else is up and says it multiple times. Also, Skylar does admit something else happened, and tells you that she will tell you later. There are mysteries in this story that need to be explained when the time is right and to make sense. The story wouldn't be very fun if I spoiled everything in the first half of the story. I know that may be annoying to some, but I hope you, and others who have doubts, can give me a little bit of credit and let the story play out. I know I am not the best at storytelling. I've never written a novel before. This is my first attempt. But I'm trying, and I hope you like the rest of the story.
I appreciate your feedback and concerns. Thanks.
You're welcome, Streetlight. I hope you enjoy it!
The sex scenes have always been animated. I'm not sure why they would not, but one thing you can check is if transitions are turned on or off in the options. That may prevent some of them from playing. If you keep having issues, let me know.
You guys are too smart. That's exactly why I didn't call it a Faraday cage. It's just said it's kind of like one. Riley has her own new technology that blocks signals but she didn't give a term for the technology.
