Based. One of the narrative that worry me with this story, is that MC was a Zane all along. I feel that the “normal/damaged/poor dude was actually from a powerful family/dynasty” trope, has been overused and is rather boring.
the whole star wars origin story the MC is born special is kinda popular amongs AVN players.
Yeah, maybe the story does end up derivative (then again, what story isn't these days). However, I know for sure that I won't care one whit as long as my avatar (Nika) gets to lovingly impregnate Sasha while whispering romantic soliloquies in her ear. :p

However, I do hope Ocean has some twists and turns in store - ones that with leave naysayers (occasionally including me) both gobsmacked and embarrassed by old F95 posts that were s-o-o-o wide of the mark.

Of course - I am fine with OCean telling me a story that embarrasses all my theories, runs circles around them - as long as the story is compelling enough to keep my attention, that's half the fun. I prefer being surprised than playign something I can predict.

I'm okay with it being predictable if it's done in a good way, but I do agree that a bit of surprise tends to be better. That was one of the reasons I enjoyed Avengers: Infinity War.

Was it a great film? No (it was okay), but what I really loved about it was that even though we know the future, because it's comics and blah blah blah, they let the villain win. It is so rare to enjoy a film or book where the bad guys actually take home the victory.

I'd read a book some 20-30 years ago where the whole core plot is three friends coming together to enact revenge on a particular foe from their past. As you get through it all, you see them utterly destroy this foe and they can relax and go back to their lives, contented - only one of the friends gets picked up by a stranger in a limousine. The driver proceeds to take them around the city, while this stranger in the backseat explains exactly what went down to this one person of the trio, and how they had all been entirely manipulated from the very beginning to do what they've just done, and how well it benefits an even larger power that they would nominally have opposed.

Said character is then dropped off at his home and left to deal with the heavy burden of keeping it a secret and letting his friends live on in ignorance (but happy and at peace), or risk telling them the truth, ruining their lives, and bringing it all crashing down.

I've never been so pleased with a villain truimphant, it was done well. And to this day, I still can't remember the title of the damned book. If a VN author were able to swing something like that, it might be interesting. As long as we get to enjoy some T&A along the way, of course.

Ocean is at it again with his shitty retouches ...........
poor redhead got her breast mutilated by Ocean .:sick::sick::sick::sick::sick:

View attachment 4457245
I think the chest looks fine. She always had a large set on her and in that render she seems to be using a rather tight top that squishes the balloons a bit. I'm more concerned about the hip and the face :confused:

Probably just an iffy render. Maybe she'll look more normal in others or we eventually get used to it.

No but really a little summary please
Sorry, bro, it's almost impossible to resist answering after 2 thousand pages of debate about what this game is about. :KEK:

Actually, it's almost what the description says: the MC suffers from trauma after the mysterious disappearance of his childhood love Summer, lives a secluded life and does not communicate with anyone beyond his landlady and roommate. Until one day he goes out and meets a strange girl, who is hit by a car in front of his eyes. Perhaps this event triggers a process of change, he understands that he can not continue to live like this and tries to change his life and get healed from his trauma. That's why he pushes himself to socialize with people, especially since they are going to college with his roommate and he just forced to interact with others.

Well, then comes the life of a freshman with a lot of events, new acquaintances and situations that he gets into. At the same time, he tries to find out what happened to Summer, and learn about his origin, since his parents died in his childhood and he knows nothing about them. A bunch of secrets and mysteries of the town where he lives.

Well now. Because I'm a degenerate, I certainly hope Charlie and Katie are on the list of potential mid-game surprises.

But we all know I'll be doing my damndest to make it Nia & Nami.
Kelly seems to have a breading kinky. My bets are on her.

You want spoliers? Hmmm.
- The story starts with the MC incredibly depressed because Summer, his childhood sweetheart is gone. He is antisocial, and doesn't know how to get out of the house
- MC has been enrolled in college, but didn't really know what else to do
- MC meets new people and has panic attacks.

Giving you more detail than that really will ruin what there is worth playing the game for.

- The game focuses on character's emotional states, and the mystery of what has happened before. We don't know what has happened to Summer.
- the game is intended to be 6 seasons, we've only seen season 1.
- The game is focused on character development, not lewd content. IF you want an idea of the kind of lewd content OCean is likely to do, check out his other game WiaB, it starts with a lewd scene.
- There's a lot of details to the dialogue to pay attention to, it's wise to make saves just so you can go back and remind yourself what was said earlier.

Things that you should be aware of:
- this game is popular even though the number 1 complaint is there are no sex scenes yet. There will be lewd content in the next season.
- if you play AVN's by fastforward, looking for scenes you like, don't bother, you need to read the story because it's the whole point.
- I can't really say things like "these are the characters, A, B, C," because it's better for them to introduce themselves, there are a lot of moments where people are in the background before you meet them. It's a game where you have to pay attention and read between the lines.
- only play if you're prepared to read. It's a large first season, and it's just the prologue (effectively)
- WiaB is Ocean's other game, this is set 20 years later in the same town/city.
- we're all hear impatiently waiting for the next season to start.

Last point - fan and user based mods might ruin your saves. Seeing a mod like a taboo edition etc seems great, but even applied there is like 1 lewd scene, one render of a vagina and a couple of flaccid cocks. If you blink, you pretty much miss them in the game and the one lewd scene seems to be set to return in season 2 anyway.

Edit: I see yossa gave a better answer while I was writing, he's faster than me, oh well :rolleyes:

I just started playing this VN Masterpiece and I have to admit I am speechless at how great it turned out ...
Can you tell how big are the intervals between the updates?
I found out that chapter 3 was released in 2021 and chapter 5 in mid 2024. So this is 2 years per chapter.
Is it realistic to expect chapter 6 in 2026?

We're expecting the next update sooner than that. Optimism would say before June, but we've learnt not to hold our breath in this thread either. There was a devlog yesterday (link to a devlog list is in the OP of the thread) so you can read up on season 2 ch1 development.
