So, as an interesting source of potential future conflict, how likely is it that Aoife's mom got MC fired for not playing softball with her daughter's grades? Fairly sure it would completely be water under the bridge between them at this point, but it would set up a future confrontation with Aoife's mom for some interesting drama.

Good job on this one. I like the storytelling and the renders are good.

I enjoyed the game an awful lot, and it's very impressive, but there's one rather minor thing that I hate about it.

Oh well, nothing is perfect I guess. But this game was pretty damn close. The amount of choice in the game was particularly impressive. I always like it when a game doesn't force any of the girls on you, because there's usually one or two that I can't stand. In this instance it was Kimberly, so I happily avoided her as much as possible. I also avoided everyone else to focus on Lyndie, so I will have to do a few more runs through the game to see if any of the other characters pleasantly surprise me.

Hmmm... I didn't have that scene. Perhaps because I went with Aoife or a threesome...

I also am not into the Nyah catgirl thing... I am however into the Pfeiffer Catwoman thing.

I did enjoy the Lyndie sex scene. It was her trying to come out of her shell a bit and do something she's never done before.

I did prefer the Aiofe/Lyndie scene though but my fave was B's.

That night scene with B was just adorable as hell. It's clear she wants to grow as a person and this game seems all about character growth so i'm interested to see how she turns out on that and the throuple route.

I think all 3 of those friends are proper cute. I love that scene where B offers you a coffee and you pick how you want it. Picking with cream and sugar, that look of horror she gives is what made me start adoring her.

Just found this game yesterday, and I have to say it has an amazing story mixed in with great renders. The interaction between characters is top notch. Great job, I will be following this game.

Isn't the throuple route just Aoife and Lyndie though? Like, B seems 100% on board with being your wingman to help you hook up with her friends, but I don't see her being very different on that route vs just getting together with one of her friends solo.

For what it's worth any future scenes of a Nyah nature will be more optional, for this one I felt she needed something a bit different. As Ava pointed out Lyndie is still trying to come out of her shell and figure out "sexy" so she experimented a bit with something different. I really appreciate the feedback and hope you enjoy any future playthroughs.

There are 2 routes for that group, Aiofe and Lyndie and the throuple with B.

It might not make sense to anyone who doesn't see B's night with the MC. She may do the hookup thing and doesn't look to want to settle down but if you pick her for that night it shows future character growth.

Without spoiling too much, she's getting attached to him like the other 2 and looks like she may want to get involved with him properly either solo or with the other 2.

She asks to spend the night but just to be close to him, no sex. It's really sweet.

I thought cat-girl Lyndie was adorable, and the scene worked really well. I'm just committed to the throuple route. :love:

that's the truth.

In Lyndie's defense, she and MC talked about geeky stuff and anime during their date and they even played street calibur (I think that was a jab at people playing yoshimitsu in tekken) so the neko costume woulld be logical

I mean, I wouldn't say no to a non-solo something involving B, but so far all the 'throuple' points according to the guide have all been involving Aoife and Lyndie, and 'throuple' in general is slang for a poly triad so it seemed a safe assumption that it was being used here for just MC, Aoife, and Lyndie. I guess I'll need to reload a save and play B's end of chapter scene and see how it plays out.

Doesn't B get disgusted at the thought of doing anything with Aoife or Lyndie since she sees them as sisters when you talk to her at the pool. I agree with you about B though I really didn't like her at first but i'm starting to like her a bit more now.

More optional sounds moderately promising. Not as promising as completely optional, but I'll take whatever I can get.

Lyndie is still trying to come out of her shell and figure out "sexy" so she experimented a bit with something different.
I don't understand why she would want to experiment right off the bat like that on their first encounter. The game has established that she's already very nervous because she's never been with a guy before, so it seems odd for reveal a fetish that she is also nervous about. I would assume that it would make her twice as nervous, you know what I mean?

I also don't think that Lyndie needs a fetish to be different. Her personality already makes her different, which is why I chose her over the others in the first place. Her saying "I'm a slutty little kittten" while wearing cat ears and acting like an anime character was not at all what I expected or hoped for. We already have Kimberly for all the slutty talk, and the anime catgirl thing seemed to come out of left field. I knew that she liked arcade games, D&D, had eight years of kickboxing training, and wanted to write a graphic novel. But any hints for the catgirl thing was lost on me.

I really appreciate the feedback
Well in that case, one other minor quibble I have is that the flashback scenes don't have a distinct end to them like the do when they start. So you get a title card that says "Four months ago" and the flashback starts, but there's not "Present day" notice for when we are back to normal. It's a little bit odd in a couple of places. I remember seeing the main character jogging in the park and thinking it was still a flashback until Kimberly showed up and I realized that we were back to normal.
