Please see post before yours, Regularus has a good list.Is there any similar games like this ? I mean story and narrative like this, I know another game of this author "where it all began" but I'll be very appreciate if you recommend me another similar games
If she is alive,then perhaps she may appear until the end of the first season,or even at the end like a big cliffhanger. It would be strange to introduce her much later. Although only the dev knows the events in advance.On second thought, as someone already mentioned, WHAT IF Summer came back?
This is an AVN which has no sex yet. It will be sex in the future. But renders, story, animation, characters and story are top.I see this game is very popular (252 pages of forum posts), but am I correct there is no sex in this VN at all? Is this is a normal/mainstream VN?
At least, that's what the developer comment in the first page more or less says. Is this (still) true?
Rebirth is good, but this is another level, trust me. Most people who love this game come here because of sex, but they stayed because of really good story. But if sex is your primary concern, then, no, this isn't for you...Aha, ok. Thanks for informing me!
I guess it's sort of like that 'Rebirth' VN then. That's a vampire story with occasionally a bare breast here or there.
Thx manPlease see post before yours, Regularus has a good list.
I've played hundreds of various VN's and this one stands out as transcending the medium. It ends up feeling more like you are binging a great show on HBO rather than playing a 'porn' game. You really get invested in the characters and Ocean spends a great deal of time dialing in the atmosphere and character personalities, so you really get immersed.Aha, ok. Thanks for informing me!

If Oceanlabs does have Summer's return planned, season one is much too early for her to reappear. Just clarifying, but Season 1 only covers Chapters 1-5. MC's barely made any real progress yet, and the story's just starting. The end would also be bad because, at that point, why is she even returning? Unless SG gets a sequel or Summer gets her own game/story, her showing up in a cliffhanger at the end of the game would render MC's entire journey meaningless.If she is alive,then perhaps she may appear until the end of the first season,or even at the end like a big cliffhanger.
Why? If she is to return, the best time for that will probably be sometime in the middle or the latter half of the story. So somewhere between Chapters 16 and 24. At this point in the story, many things would have happened. Depending on which role she'll play and to prevent things from being rushed, this is the best point to stage her return. Not too early and not too late. Ultimately, that's how it should be; otherwise, it would drastically lower the quality of the story.It would be strange to introduce her much later.
Don't doubt the power of good writing. If Oceanlabs made so many people fall in love with Bella and Nami so early in the story, I don't doubt his ability to do the same with SummerღBut, even if she appears in the story, it is not certain that she will become the same favorite of the public as Nami or Bella.
SG will actually have quite a bit of lewd content in the future; it's just that it's not a top priority at the moment. In SG, relationship building and character development come first. Now, I don't care for lewd content, but for all of you lovers that do... you can rest assured because next season will feature quite a bit of it... or so I've heard.I guess it's sort of like that 'Rebirth' VN then.

Agreed late stage entry would be ideal. Perhaps when MC is firmly established in his new relationship. Summer returns raising the question of who will he choose Summer or the new established LI? Or is that too obvious...If Oceanlabs does have Summer's return planned, season one is much too early for her to reappear. Just clarifying, but Season 1 only covers Chapters 1-5.

Sorry Bella actually annoys me but yes the writing is excellent. At the current stage in the story Victoria is my LI, such a sweetheart. Having so many incredible LIs will be a challenge for him, but I am sure his writing skills are up to it. The diversity of options will mean there is an LI for everyone's tastes, in my case three that currently stand out above the crowd.Don't doubt the power of good writing.

Beyond the many LIs(there are no more than 8 and no less than 6), there are also going to be many "lewdable" characters(if memory serves me well, there are going to be over 20 of them). Lewd content is coming... you darlings just need to be patientღ
Oh, there will indeed be consequences for sleeping with everyone. I remember speaking to Oceanlabs about there being consequences for certain things, like cheating and sleeping around. To make a long story short, what I got from that conversation was that there will indeed be various consequences for your actions. Players will still be able to cheat and sleep around with whomever they want, but they shouldn't be surprised when it blows up in their faces(you can lose friends and LIs over this stuff). The most any of these LIs are willing to tolerate are throuples. Anything beyond that(like trying to pursue 3+ characters simultaneously) will quickly land players on the solo route(there is a solo route for those who didn't know). Heck, even if you try pursuing two different characters simultaneously(a throuple path), it can still lead to a solo route if they're incompatible. Many of the characters in SG(not just LIs) will have very realistic reactions to The MC's actions. ETA: Also, word spreads around in-game. If you(generally speaking) cheat on someone or build up a reputation for being promiscuous, other characters will find out and act accordingly. Do with this knowledge what you willღRegards the lewds, there is a great chance that you can't get all the lewds in a single playthrough, not just the non compatible triangles; Ocean might actually make it that the path of a manwhore leads you to being ignored by everyone. It might be that faithful relationships are the only paths with meaningful lewds. It would be nice for a novel to have meaningful consequences for pulling the MC's dick out at any opportunity.
I really like the idea of consequences. There should be. It makes the story more interesting and immersive for sure.Oh, there will indeed be consequences for sleeping with everyone.

One thing I love about SG is that the lives of the LIs don't revolve around The MC. They don't exist solely for him, and they don't have tunnel vision. They still have their own dreams and ambitions that they will follow throughout the game(already evident with most of them so far - examples being Mila with golf and Zara with professional sports) regardless of whether or not The MC is on their path. They're not here just to serve as The MC's sexual/romantic partners. This means that many of them probably won't be afraid to dump MC because as much as some of them may like him, their lives don't revolve around him. I'm only playing one path, so I can only imagine how crazy this thread is going to get once we actually reach this point in the storyღ
P.S: I really like the rest of your post btw. I agree with pretty much everything. Personally, I'd prefer it if Summer remains gone. Still, I'd be lying if I said that the prospect of her returning wasn't intriguing in and of itselfღ
Wow, that´s absolutely insane, i have never seen a game so inmersive and realistic like this, Ocean is trying so far to do a different game here, and i´m in. In facf, this is one of the things i was asking myself when i finished the game for first time, the infidelity situation has to be something hard for our Mc, in this way all of us are going to thing very carefully which LI follow the first time.Oh, there will indeed be consequences for sleeping with everyone.

Ya, SG is a ton of fun to me through Season 1 so far too just knowing that the intimate scenes will be coming down the road after proper story development. Gives you something to look forward to with your LI of choice.I've played hundreds of various VN's and this one stands out as transcending the medium. It ends up feeling more like you are binging a great show on HBO rather than playing a 'porn' game. You really get invested in the characters and Ocean spends a great deal of time dialing in the atmosphere and character personalities, so you really get immersed.
His other game, Where It All Began, is semi connected to this one AND has sex in it, so it's a great way to 'ease' into Ocean's work, for fappers like us. You'll get a taste of the quality and want more, that's where Summer's Gone comes in.
The reason I dig this approach is that the onus is on the player to think about feelings and the perspective of others. Most VN's have the attitude that every woman must impale themselves on the MC regardless of whether they had an argument in the previous frame. I guess most devs want to highlight as many of their renders as possible, get the most mileage out of the renders that took them so long. What I really like about this approach is that there will be a ton of renders that the player won't see on any given walkthrough, that are not auxilary, but someone else's main walkthrough. The replayability, and exploring the facets of the world, noticing the different parallels between playthroughs will give this a lot of longevity.Oh, there will indeed be consequences for sleeping with everyone.

Edit: By the way, this isn't meant to scare anyone. As far as I remember, you can still have fun on the solo path by engaging with all of the lewdable characters; it's just that it may not be as fulfilling. In the end, it's mainly quantity vs. quality. The most similar thing I can think of(regarding AVNs that tried this) would be the "others" path from BADIK. There really is something for everyone hereღ
