i finally got the game working and the one person i cant stand is nadia. Tbh makes me not want to play it because of her. Edit: i diff wont be playing this game again since i cant get revenge for that locker prank.
haha I actually loved Nadia for her humor with the Banana next to Nami one of the best things when it comes to the humor in this game for me but yeah acting like the locker prank was no big deal did suck.
I think is a good change, seems modern and fresh, and i find very uncomfortable have to press "H" always to can see properly the render.
But is true that is going to be a little strange read the dialogues in the center, i´m used to the typical dialogue box so for me is going to be a little strange But i´m sure i will be used to it.
re: centering the characters name in the text box... I expect the "proof of the pudding will be in the tasting."
We read left to right, so having a characters name left-aligned makes sense because that is where our eyes scan to start reading text.
The impact of centering the characters name will only be known once users spend a fair portion of their playing time having to look center then left to read the dialogues. I have no idea how comfortable this will be without trying it. However, for anyone who thinks this isn't an issue, trying reading dialogues for ten minutes where the characters names are right-aligned and you'll get an idea of the extra eye movement needed.
Took me a long time to figure out what summer looked like now I know she looks like a Chucky doll. If she is still alive and they reintroduce her hope they make her more appealing.
A couple of questions to promote thoughts in general now I *think* I've seen every render/done all the paths:
- If Nika has been charged before, was it over the violent incident? Or over Summer? Or one and the same?
- When he mentions to Amber (regarding her question that he blames himself for what happened to Summer) that "it wasn't my fault ...I had no other choice", is this perhaps something he got charged over?
- Have you noticed that immediately after the Summer incident he gets violent at school from being dead inside, but when we enter the story he is depressed: did the violent incident beat the violence out of him?
Regarding Zane relationships:
- Amber and Bella know Zoey, who knows Katie very well, so chances are Bella also is friendly to some part with Katie, especially with her connection to Ayua
- Who is Charlotte really? (Charlie) Jenna mentions that she can set up Nika with Robin, and Molly asks if Robin is Nikas GF if you have the rumour going. It seems Robin is someone important - Molly seemed excited to hear something about Robin. And the venue for the bookclub, is that Charlie's place? Or a hired venue? Or Elena's house? It feels like Robin walked down from her room. But there was also a security guard when NIka walks in, so where is this?
- Robin talks about 'Adri' so Adrianna is a friend of Robin and Sasha's well enough known to have a nickname - I think that's old info, but I didn't notice it before.
- Noji vs all these high society figures, which we already knew, but now the golf course thing is all but confirmed, and I'm pretty sure is said somewhere Noji has played golf with Nick, we have Noji knowing Elena, Scarlet, Katie (by extension Leia as the last time Katie and Leia came to the bookclub was a year ago), Amber, Emilia (all of whom are likely in WiaB), Claire, Charlie, potentially Marla. Also, I think Noji mentions Bella by name before being introduced to her - if you don't go on the heist, she mentions what Nika did to Bella as the reason for sending Nika to AMber. Long winded list, but Noji apparently knows everyone important in Wollust. So there is no hiding Nika from them, we just don't know her connection. Jenna's observations that Noji 'did the right thing' does suggest that all the well to do people know what's going on.
- I've already mentioned goth girl but I also notice her blonde friend stares at Nika quite a few times, and is in the locker room scene if Marla rescues Nika.
- Goth girl highlights the importance of the earring again, so we have Sasha, Ayua, and potentially goth girl wondering about it. If you're not on Bella's path, in ch4 Nika jokes about getting detective Nora on the case (one of the twins) - cute extra fact.
- Dwight as all but confirmed Petrova, because Sasha doesn't have a boyfriend (no NTR in SG according to Ocean's original intent, plus the fact the women at the bookclub tease Nika and Sasha, Kelly's desire to breed Sasha etc.) and she's had a hard time with men recently, plus votes to not have any new male members, so kinda an ice queen. Makes sense that Dwight has carried Ayua home before as Sasha and Ayua are close.
- Demi Hill knowing about Nika's past performance and saying that if he doesn't try out for the first team she'll put his name down herself (crushed balls path), knowing his past. Is part of Hill's plan that's approved from high up to get a new functional team including Nika's past, and that's why Nika and Nami got a scholarship (assuming the reason they didn't have a choice is because they got a scholarship that Noji couldn't refuse). So is Nika's presence actually part of the plan, and they're trying for something specifically involving him?
- Regarding rumours, if you get the locker room incident with Nora, there's new rumours at the training. Not sure if that was there before. So I guess there are rumour meters in the background, the rumours open certain paths, probably affecting the manwhore route.
- is this checklist of Claire's a list of plot devices Ocean will include? LOTS of potential fun there:
Wow, I really missed some things as I followed Bella's path. It’s very interesting, then this explains why Nika wanted to avoid being seen by the cops in the event with Victoria. As far as I remember, even in the past Ocean said that MC had his own reasons for not being seen by the cops. However, I previously rejected this theory, since scene with sister Melanie, she made it clear that Nika is clean. Then there are even more questions than answers. Who is so powerful behind MC’s back to erase such data?

Other things pertinent are: - we have corrupt police from old WiaB. We have gangs from WiaB. The WiaB steam page talks about criminal empires.
- Mon is a policewoman, as is Abigail.
- Dana is a lawyer, as is Elena (in old WiaB at least)
- Jane Laverne is a friend of Noji? As no one is on first name basis with local police as a child. Or was Laverne the truant officer as Noji is their foster parent? How did Nami know to call Jane? Or is Jane a friend of Summer's family and Summer's family are connected to the shadow organisation who are pulling the strings with the corrupt police/feds?
So in my mind it's super easy to bury that info, when we consider Emilio is still around and knows nothing of Nika, which is quite telling. If Emilio has nothing, Stefan definitely won't know a Cyrus, much less the police. Bt as to who can make the police drop a charge:
- the same people who buried Helen's case?
- Dana? Elena? Mon? Abigail? Jane?
It'd have to be Mon, Abigail, Jane or the orginisation for it not to be on the database, I'm sure a dropped charge would still show on the database. The question is, what was the charge for? Was it related to Nika's guilt over what he had no choice over? Or was it after, from the violence that happened while he was dead inside? Was the timeline: Summer > disappearance event > Nika violence > violence event > Hospital/charge > current dpressed Nika keeping his head down?
Noji and Nami are both worried about the fight, and Nika 'won't put them through that again', suggests the charge is related to the violence at school though. It would be interesting to find out more about Jane Laverne.
There is no uncensored version. The 'censoring' is in all versions. The most recent compressed version is the most complete of the full season. A few dialogues have been altered to be 16+, all dick pics have been removed, but implied off screen, the only real lewd of the game was removed already in the Ch5 Beta. The other edits have been done more to provide better character development, which some people agree with and others disagree with.
There's just the one version available on all platforms as far as content goes.

The compressed version is all I bother with - my internet doesn't allow me to download the bigger files, and there's very little noticeable (I don't notice it anyway) loss in picture quality. In general, search any thread for the word 'compressed' by user 'SonsOfLiberty'. He is the one of the heros who do the hard work (some threads it will be a different compressor). Or you can search threads by filehost. That works well too.

- Stefanie is an LI, so she will be banged which also checks female professor gets banged by student, and probably impregnated. Coach Hill is probably lewdable, as I guess Ms Harrison is as well.
- Bella will get in a fight, probably more than once, likely with Kate.
- Given the lockeroom talk about cute emo boy having a giant schlong, and Ayua asking Bella for nudes, his dick pics'll flow around campus
- Police will probably arrest Bella, Nika or Mila at some point
-Multiple cheerleaders getting banged - the locker room scene with Nora, Miriam and Kate is super likely to be repeated as a lewder event.
- Getting drunk with the professors - Nika will likely find out what happens with Cindy in a RP session
- Witness two students doing it - I can't imagine Ocean will have rumours about what happens in locker rooms spreading and miss the opportunity for risky public sex.
- STD outbreak SHOULD be inevitable, but porn logic would mean there's a chance that no one ever catches anything. But the manwhore MC route will likely have lewds gallore with no romance.
- hookup with a student, probably while doing CPR on Nika, can imagine Claire will be lewdable, get in a fight with Bella, and Amber comes down to berate Claire, and Claire gets fired. Plausible.
- Cheating gossip will happen, as gossip spreads so quickly for any events on campus already.
- peeing pants in public? my money's on Ayua getting smashed on the opening of the bar.
- Professor gets breast augmentation - convenient excuse to render someone larger than Helen from WiaB, it WILL happen...
- Is Stahl the only male professor we've seen? I'm okay if that gets left off. Do Not Want.
Free the boobs, being sober, the yogurt or the used condom... well, those have humour potential. It's almost like Ocean has written a list of Steam achievements and is projecting them on Claire. I'm going to keep tabs on this over the next decade
alright so i went into this knowing the game was not gonna have any real H scenes and had accepted my fate and so long as it was reasonable and it was actually mainly character building I could acknowledge and understand it but even if the MC is the most demi of demisexuals how does any human in the universe have a girl in your bed, you have contemplated the fact that you might be in love with her, you are both just in your underwear her with her bra off and she says to you "I'm horny" and your only response is to look awkward and apologise. Like literally what? How does that even happen and why did the scene not progress there? No human alive wouldn't have at least tried to help her out or something even if you arent gonna go all in but nah he just sits there like a stump in the woods. I was fine with it honestly when he had rejected stuff before that point because it was reasonable to believe, it being with girls he wasn't familiar with or uncomfortable situations but like this is your actual girlfriend MC are you a brick or what?
