You mean 2019, the current MC time? or 2029 10 years in the future for him?

From 2019 to 2029. I believe that at some point we'll see the events at the power plant in 2009; if time travel continues with the same current twenty-year rules, maybe there will be a time skip

that would be 2039, 2019+20=2039, I agree there's a chance there and could be interesting.
There's still clues from other characters, like Shit-Ninja and April that the 20 year jump isn't the only type of time travel, so maybe 2029 or 2009 whatever is possible too.
Edit:Oh you mean time skip sorry, I thought you were saying time travel, ok not seeing that happen then

Yes because it had officially incest in the first releases and it was a big draw to this game in the first place. Also it's a cool concept to explore.

Was it? Or was it just heavily hinted/theorized here? I don't remember any actual incest before the censorship, because MC hadn't done anything with either Jessica or Jenny yet. I guess I could be remembering wrong, though.

It's just that it gets tiring to have this discussion every week.

I remember playing an early version then stopped can't remember why and rediscovered the game on the update before the current one.

If you played that version out of curiosity do you remember if we fuck Skylar in the park then? like the second scene with her, I have this memory and not sure if it is real or I'm just making things up

I agree, it gets incredibly old watching the thread cycle through the same tired conversation over and over because people can't be bothered to read previous pages. Like... even going 3-4 pages back would answer a question 90% of the time, even without the search function. It makes me cranky too.

But also yes, I too remember banging Skylar in the park! Specifically, I remember her riding MC cowgirl on a picnic blanket. I don't have that version anymore but I don't think you hallucinated it either.

Dude, thanks for answering, when I rediscovered the game, and get to that part I was like "Damn didn't we fucked here before?" then I forgot about it but remembered it now, when we talked about the old version, and was thinking, did that really happened or I'm confusing it with another game!

About the incest talk, I think Dolfe meant that Jessica was MC sister and Tiff mcs mother on the old version, not that real incest actually happened.

And yeah the incest talk is tiring and if someone don't explain it every time I think it creates false expectations for people that are here just for the kink, not judging anyone, I have nothing against that kink, but I don't think the game Ripples as currently is, is going to satisfy now or ever people that want to play it just for the incest kink.

Is Skylar and Jessica paths mutually exclusive? Does continuing the relationship with Skylar or breaking it off so as not to offend Jessica a better choice?

This time travel plot is a little different from other VNs. The whole narrative so far feels more like fighting to preserve the intended timeline rather than change it for a better outcome.

 

[Discrepancy]

Yes, they are mutually exclusive, at least for now, most people think they will converge in the future. But for now you lose content with Jessica if you don't break with Skylar and will lose content with Skylar for breaking up with her.
So chose break-up if you prefer Jessica or not if you prefer Skylar.
Jessica best girl though

Goddammit. And yea, i'm team Jessica but the episodes so far(i'm on episode 5) were heavy on Skylar/Luna content, so i'm leaning more towards her. There's hardly any substantial content on Jessica and MC's family to make me feel invested, it's unfair to force players to choose so early in the game.

I'm guessing the guy in wearing the mask making MC time travel is the future him? Usually that's how it goes for time travel stories. Will we get to meet April(Scarlett's sister) in 2019? Since she is part of the faction trying to preserve the timeline and she knows everything. Iirc, so far nothing has been mentioned about her in 2019, is she even alive?

Skylar has much more lewd content, Jessica not much yet, but the next update will be focused on her so we got that to look forward I like Skylar too, if we didn't had to chose, Skylar would be one of my favorites, I only play one route so that limits my attachment to Skylar.

The guy wearing the mask is probably MC or his father, but we don't know yet. We don't know if April is alive (if she's mentioned in 2019 I can't recall), she will probably appear in the future if I had to guess yes.

All the girls will be fathered by someone else, I doubt it will be show or even talked about for most girls, but MC won't be the father of anyone, dunno why you guys keep believing that, even if Jestur planned on that in the beginning, which I don't know, now he will never do it or his game will be nuked from Patreon.

Oh no, Dont get me wrong. I much prefer the route where there is no Incest weirdness built in, at least for this game. It's just gonna make things feel worse. (Hence my original post was much against the logic, no way this shit works type).

Sorry, can't remember who Lizzy is, is that the tattooed girl from MC class?

Yes, her. She is 21 yo/same as Skylar Age but started school late.

Remember too that Dani remembers messing around with MC. Context makes clear that he doesn't remember this--it's already happened in her timeline, but not his. Ignoring parallel universes, this most likely means that one of them (presumably MC) traveled by a fairly-short time interval.

No, that is wrong. MC didnt remember because the events with Dani happened under the Seven Minutes game where Dani and MC makeout inside Closet not knowing who she was.
During Episode 6 Danis Bathroom Scene (if you are on her route), she comes out with it - that the girl in closet was her during that game and MC is shocked, since he didn't knew it was her until now. For him the kisser was a mystery girl, then few minutes when they kiss again in bathroom, MC even remembers the taste and feeling of Dani's Tongue.

Nothing to do with Time Travel, it was just an anonymous kissing scene.

Infact the scene is referred to even in first few minutes of game where we are told about MC sexual experience - a Handjob from Skylar and a Seven Minutes of Heaven with a mystery girl in a closet (Kissing).

So MC first kiss is Dany, first sexual experience is with Skylar and first sex is with Krystal.

The scene both of you are referring to is Episode 6 Skylar Date if you are on her path, Ep 6 ends with Skylar Date going to an overgrown park undermoonlight, where she and MC have sex in the open at night on a picnic blanket - Including the Cowgirl Position being referenced.

In Park (Episode 1), She does go topless for MC where they throw rotten food at Shelby and have some kissing scenes and her pressing bare chest on MC.

---
Finished Episode 6 last night. Jessica Photoshoot was nice and a good step towards making her not 24/7 angry in convos with MC. Skylar Date was hot.
Riley scene was well... something.

Alice breaking up with Toxic BF and knowing more about Luna were good plot points.

Looking forward to back in Past in Ep7/8 now

The only mention of April in 2019 so far is MC asking Alyssa if she had any Aunt or Uncle in Episode 5 after School Project (Since he met April in Episode 4), to which only reply MC got was "She used to have an Aunt, but she's no longer around and she rather not talk about it"

So either some incident with April or somehow April and Scarlett parted on real bad terms in current timeline, since in 1999 April was Scarlett's everything.

No, we talking about an old version the game had before, we might be misremembering things, but I'm pretty sure MC on that version fucked Skylar in the park at night on the old version on episode 1.
If I'm wrong someone that played the old version will correct me eventually, but Ozymandias played and thought the same as me.

You probably didn't recall because she was spelled Lizzie in game.

It's been so long that MC is on the past that I start to forget the present
Nah, I thought it was her, but wasn't sure.

The park scene you mean was toned down, but there was no sex in that one. Her first scene was the one you go on her car to a trip later on.

I thought the guy on the post I linked was talking about the scene in the park, no idea then where I got that idea.

I remember this part, but not MC's saying earlier in the game that he'd done this. Interesting.

But also in the "other time travelers" discussion, we need to consider Skylar. She's completely gone for a week--not only can't MC reach her (which is kind of understandable under the circumstances), neither can anyone else. This by itself doesn't prove anything with respect to time travel, but when we see her a week later, she's more than a little evasive about where she's been, she has extensive tattoos that she didn't have before, and I think we're meant to understand that she couldn't have gotten them in a week. And if that's the case, not only has she traveled in time (to where/when, we have no idea), but she's done so in a different way than we've seen MC do (she spends, let's say, four weeks at her destination time, then returns to one week after she left).

Oh, she has definitely time travelled, the game even makes a point that her full sleeve couldn't be made in just one week.
The question is where did she go and who sent her there, our team or the bad guys from the plant? Because the way it happened seems more likely it's the second...

One thing to keep in mind is that when the MC is away time travelling he seems to be away on the present for the same amount of time he's been in the past, so what's the deal with Skylar then.

That was true for the original machine in the abandoned plant, but this new machine he used with Darci seems to be different and could have other rules.
