VN Ren'Py Summer's Gone [S1 Steam + DLC] [Oceanlab]

[Fortuna ღ]

Ahm, why exactly everyone acts like Bella is a maniac in the making? Like, is it flashed out in other storylines (not her route), or is it just "say, not show"? Cause in game I saw only her bullying attempt on the MC's sister, and that's it.

Like, she is both hot and rich. You need to cut cats wide open on the schoolyard to make people stop adoring you.

We're likely to learn more about her as the story progresses, but it's believed that she lashed out a lot at many different people due to her traumas. Her mental state is also rather unstable, to say the least. But as for why everyone's treating her like a maniac? Depending on whether you meant the players here on F95 or the characters in-game, the players here haven't seen much of her. They still barely know her. But first impressions are quite lasting... and she didn't have the best first impression. When we were introduced to her, she was picking on Nami for no reason other than to teach her a life lesson. I'm not really surprised that people jumped to conclusions after that. What it takes to get over the fake persona she always has up, is a lot of patience and a willingness to understand. From both the player and the MC in-game.

For the characters, well our MC has only known Bella for about a week or two. He doesn't know her as well as some of the other characters, seeing as quite a few of them have gone to school with her. She has a reputation with them for doing crazy things. We can't fault them for that because we're still getting to know her ourselves. Depending on your choices and observation, the player would come to realize that she's just a misunderstood person dealing with her traumas in the best ways she knows how. Not much unlike our MC. Vice Versa for the actual players that were paying attention to her character since that first incident with Nami.

Personally, it's scary how much I can relate to her. She's just painfully misunderstood and navigates life the best way she can due to her traumas. At her core, she isn't a bad person. And the more time she spends with MC, the more she and everyone else realizes it. But that's just me, I'm not 100% sure how everyone else feels about her lol.

Lady Fortuna
Bella is nice, of course, despite her unfriendly mask shown at the beginning.
But we just more interested in beautiful scarface with cute derriere - Sasha.

Windows defender says the incest patch has a virus. I searched the thread for virus and got nothing. Anyone have an answer?

Bennie Boo Thank You, Thank you very much!
_A.QH_ overdose is hardly possible, no matter how much you try

Eh this truly has the potential to become a masterpiece, a real treasure trove of expertly crafted, three dimensional, beautifully flawed characters.
The wild tormented defiant Bella enticing like the flame with the moth; Sasha's ruined beauty opening up a scenario of auto-inflicted loneliness and silent suffering caused by self consciousness; Victoria's sweet cheerful and positive nature put to the test by a terrible accident which may very well leave her a cripple; Nami's heartwarming deep affection coming through with her spontaneous bubbly and sincere personality to give out soulmate vibes trying to endure the dark shadow of the past...
Really I could go on forever, every character has potential and attractiveness and not just sexually speaking, male characters are interesting too (I don't know about you guys, but Jeffrey is already my bro of choice).
Truly don't rush to add sex scenes, take your time and do it maintaining the quality standard; the game is already damn fucking interesting without any fucking

 

[hcguy]

you do know what engaging content is right?

If you don't find the game's story engaging, fine - go play something else. I find it quite engaging.

I like Bella, she's an interesting character, and I sympathize with her plight. I'm afraid I can't agree with your assessment that she's misunderstood. The only way people can understand others is through their actions. She behaves obnoxiously to most, so they correctly perceive her as obnoxious.

Even in private she's regularly putting down others & happily throws Mila under the bus to save her own skin. So hard to argue she isn't a bad person at this point. There may well be reasons she's bad, but that doesn't negate the facts of her own behaviour. Of course no one is completely bad, so in that sense isn't bad 'at her core'.

Hopefully we continue to have opportunities to influence her, and they can help each other become better people. The MC isn't a good person either at the outset, they both need all the help they can get.

It's a false positive, my AV (Avira) found no issues. The patch archive just contains a single rpy file.

I'd suggest throwing the file at

to confirm, but it seems to be down atm.

She is obnoxious, not homicidal. They act as if she is homicidal.

It just doesn't add up for me - an obnoxious, egoistic bully will not be treated like that.

So first the earrings, now the necklace

Try Artemis

 

[endriux]

Hmm. False Hero - It's also interesting. The developer is very active on F95. The game is not long but it promises to be interesting.
Or Areas of Grey.

 

[endriux]

False hero has a really good plot. Especially interesting is the thread with twins. Areas of Grey is s-f but without aliens, etc. There is one android but in general the plot is also quite interesting.

Bingo. I like this game, the characters and the story are well-written, but this is the only thing that bothers me: both the MC and the LI that is shoved down our throats are... Just a bit obnoxious and unlikeable. Just makes me wanna scream "Don't be an edgy asshole!!" at the screen sometimes haha.

But still, it's way too good not to follow the development, I know it's all done on purpose.

Intertwined is one of my favorites (beside the already named ones) too.
