I kinda want to keep the original versions of chapters 3-4.5 to replay eventually, just for the music that was lost!

Yeah... Good choice, i will keep that version too if my computer memory allow it... I need to delete some games and stuff i don´t use.
The reason for trying the "Asshole MC" playthrough - and it was a skipped playthrough - was to test Ocean's insistence that the MC's attitude and behavior toward others will have consequences, affect his relationships, and affect the information he learns.Yes, to all of the above.
One of the valuable aspects (for me) of the game's story is the characters actually being different: they have clear likes and dislikes, they have mannerisms, different ways of speaking etc. Some devs writing is good, but everyone has the same mannerisms as the dev. Ocean's clearly though about what motivates each character and how they react to the situations. Some things they'll be indifferent to, other things become a big deal; so the differences in behaviour from some of the girls if you kiss Bella sets them up to be jealous, whereas before you were a nobody. Not knowing what the outcome will be of any decision for several chapters makes me think I should act how I think it most authentic to me.
Having said that, because different characters are distinct, everyone has different pieces of the puzzle. Depending on what path you are on you find out different parts of the back story. I'm wondering if there will be a path for Melanie, and how that will affect things with the current circle of friends Nika's developing. It's not that I want to watch the world burn, I'm just curious to find out all the angles of the story, especially as Ocean loves hiding clues in odd places.
Primarily though, I'll be a responsible Nika, because actions have consequences.
So far, Bella, Nami, and possibly Mila are the only LIs where the MC's behavior toward them seems to cut off future romance by the end of Ch 5 Beta. By bad behavior, I mean being snarly or closeted with them all the time and rejecting any advances (NOTE - any consequences of the MC agreeing to dates while acting like an asshole won't be known until Season 2 and beyond).
With characters like Zara, Nadia, Nia, Sasha, and Sonya, it's just too early to say.
Victoria is the wildcard. She has a VERY high tolerance to the MC being indifferent and rejecting her advances.

I´m one of those guys that want to have at least one path being an asshole. I like the creepy Nika so i´m going to exploit this behaviour, but of course being "normal", i´m not going to be a total asshole in all the situations, just in some situations where i find it would be the normal answer from Nika.
I still thinking the most inmersive aproach is to be a creepy guy in the whole first season, with exceptions , for example when Bella open her heart to you it would be normal to be more sensitive.
And after the therapy with Amber then start to be more open with people and start the recuperation of a healthy behaviour step by step. I don´t see realistic try to be super good guy in the first episode, but this is just how i see things, play how you guys want of course

Regarding those cryptic variables names in the code, I think it's more a bad programming practice thing than Ocean deliberately trying to hide the meaning of them.
If you look at the code it's obvious that he has no programming knowledge at all, as you can find the usual tells these renpy devs constantly use like [if var == True] or [if var is True]. When someone is programming some spaghetti code is not rare to see non-descriptive or directly terrible variable names.

What do you think about this Kate chick?
It's obviously her who spread the rumor about Nika and Robin.
She used to call Bella weird in elementary school which caused Bella to kick her in the face.
When I first saw Bella I thought she would be the bitchy queen bee archetype. The game subverted my espectations revealing Bella to be different. It's this girl who fits that trope instead, kinda ironic since she's Bella's nemesis.
She is along with the busty church girl and the dark-haired girl from the bar one of those characters in the game who I find more attractive than most of the main girls looks-wise, yet we'll never get to have sex with them.
I'm attacted to the bitchy type so I'm curious to see how this character will develop, doubt she's simply a one-dimensional villain. Judging from what we've seen there's a chance that Bella and her will make up and possibly for Bella to make peace with some of her demons.

But there is another way... Bella could kick her ass (or/and face) the second time... Maybe she didn't understand Bella's message right the first time. She could even take her poor sidekick with her...

Indifferent to Vic and no kiss – she still asks out MC again!!!! (we won't know Vic's ultimate reaction to a second refusal to date her until Season 02. It would be kinda cool if she dated Damien just to make the MC jealous and then gets Damien to tell the MC how much he loves motorboating her

She's hot.
Bella's archenemy would rather be the unseen Melanie Ceril ( who's also Zara's rival and Victoria's bully ).
