If you would pay attention while reading, Melissa (judging by parallels from other paths and what she said and how acted on this one) blames for her boyfriends cheating not only Jessica, but also Fred. In other paths she is more... vocal about it, but in this premise is the same, and she want to have revenge on them too. As we see in this one, she spotted a lot of times with Jessica, and they tell us they put aside their differences. This is just 70% of the full update, and there is still time for an explanation, but we can assume what they will plot something together, for one reason or the other.
Regarding her outfit - yeah, imo there were a lot of misses in regard to chosen clothes, no defend for this one, but again, we know what Melissa pretty much corrupted by Jason a long time ago, so not that surprising tbh
Yes. I know and understand she also blames Fred. Fred is honestly as much of an asshole as Jason, just whinier with a large portion of holier than thou. None of that explains why she (Melissa) is suddenly spotted twice in the QoS bikini and seemingly fully "corrupted" as this game seems to be defining it.

Hell as the story has been set up, Melissa basically should be trying to avoid everyone at this point because she can't trust any of them. She blames, partially, Jessica and Fred, Jason and Junior were her blackmailers, Johnny was the one that cheated on her, and Cami, Ruth, Eddy, etc. all have close relations with people she already feels have betrayed her. She literally can't trust any of the main cast.

Fred isn't an asshole, or at least no way near Jason. He's just retarded and very unlucky (I mean, fate put him as the MC of a NTR game) so events unfold all the time in a negative way for him.

I am 90% certain that you have thought more about the storyline of this porn game than the developer
yeah i stopped caring about the plot 3 updates ago... now i have no idea whats going on
i even remember a scene where Cami cheats because she gets drugged with an aphrodisiac? and then it's never brought up again? maybe i hallucinated that scene who knows

I don't think that people realize that writing is a skill and not everyone is great at it. Just not something that crosses your mind unless you are a loser like me who has spent thousands of hours of my life watching movie and game reviews on Youtube.

I will never write a bestseller, but I can tell you exactly why The Hobbit Trilogy is ass lol

If anyone else experiences an error in the script that prevents them from progressing and can't "ignore" (the bug in the classrooms), I fixed it myself.

Just replace the script.rpy file in the /game folder with this one.

You don't have to be a professional cook to know something tastes bad.

Some rabid fans might call us "arm-chair devs", but that's just a strawman to dismiss our arguments.

At the end of the day though, I'm playing Shadows of Desire to see all the girls in the school (and I mean ALL - even the ones giving of lesbian energy) succumb to black guys in their town. As long as we get some creative sex scenes and erotic scenarios, I'm a happy camper.

Polina's scene on the Blackmail path was A+, Sarah's scenes on the Cuckold path are S-tier, and Camilla's are always a treat to watch.

The people who dismiss criticism are exactly the type of people that I was referring to in my previous comment.

Some humans out there simply don't understand what others take for granted and thanks to social media we can all share our thoughts on the same platforms.

Well, there is still 3 chapters left, so it's strange to say what is considered "fully "corrupted" as this game seems to be defining it", and how game defining it. But again - yes, I do agree what her outfit was ridiculous no matter how you look at it

As to "Melissa basically should be trying to avoid everyone"... No, why? "she can't trust any of them"? She can. She blames Jess, Fred and Johnny, but realistically, why would she care what they are sorta on good terms with one another? She still mind you Cami's best friend. She won't abandon her and other friends just cause some hoe (in her eyes) and BF of her bestie decided to plot this shit on her. This will be more illogical if she would tbh imo.
Jason is an asshole to her, but he probably promised her what she will get to revenge on Fred and Jess, and this feeling might be stronger than "Ohh, but what if he is lying", ESPECIALLY since her relationships are basically over. In a way, you can say this is all what she want right now.:unsure:

And, it's not explained (and I hope actually this will be explained more), but as I said before, we can suspect what she is plotting something with Jessica, that means, they have some shared goal and thas why they are not in rivalry. Enemy of my enemy and all that. So again - trust to plot revenge. Blindly and stupidly, but still not illogical imo :unsure:.
But why would Jessica be against Fred I wonder :unsure:(If she is), and what their end goal (we know Melissa's, but Jessica... she was more on the side of "punishing those damn Nigg***", so something might have changed :unsure:). I don't remember if my save was with saved Jessica or not, but it would be strange, if she acts the same even in case of being saved by Fred :unsure:

(P.S. And to be honest, Melissa doesn't strike me as the person who will go in closed and be alone because of this. She shown as quite revengeful person. A little bit dumb, but still obsessed with it. Well, at lest to me it looks that way :lepew:)

Idk what other says this is definitely one of the best cheating games out there and I also look forward to Sword art online as well. They are both very good. Any other great renpy 3d recommendation?

Let's be realistic, SOD has nothing more to offer. No hate. It was an incredible game, but there's no more narrative. There's no more path to expand. Camile has already slept with everyone. The most we'll get is Camile in new positions. I think the developer should start a new project or focus on Yuria's story.

Honestly, the only route the author could create for this work would be the incest route. Fred's father discovering Camile and Jason's extramarital affair and now demanding special services from her. It would be a mix of incest and NTR. But that's very immoral.

I kind of agree, but tbh that's the fate of the vast majority of NTR games. The best and most exciting part is the start and a bit of the middle. The corruption, the first BJs, fucks. Once the girl has fallen, then it often just becomes scene collector where she fucks the guy a few times and it's done, curtains fall. Nothing is really interesting anymore at that point.

You need an actual talent for writing in order to make a good NTR game until the conclusion. With all due respects, that's not the case of Shaman.

I honestly think that this game is an exception because the graphics and the premise are great. I can legit only masturbate to this for probably days or even weeks on end, but have to instead look for new material because you never know when you are going to find your next favorite game or video.
