That was in the script I quoted when I raised the question that piqued your interest, so I didn't mention it again - the pertinent points of the rest of the scene are:Well... this is a good starting point, now this is not information brought from nowhere, it's just a spoiler...
Thank you!
Sure, it doesn't change what I said and think, it's just that it's now clear that it's a major spoiler. It's still bad for me that Ocean resorted to a marketing strategy to accelerate a mystery that could have been developed naturally... From the point "we didn't see any other college" to "they were forced to" there is a whole story that would have been beautiful to discover the day of the revelation and say "how did I let this slip by or how come I didn't notice that?That was in the script I quoted when I raised the question that piqued your interest, so I didn't mention it again - the pertinent points of the rest of the scene are:
- it's hard to get in: n "But I checked some forums and it's a really good college... Even though most of them were complaining about not getting accepted."
- Nika doesn't know what he's going to study: d "I have to think about classes... I don't even know what I'm gonna major in."
- Nami mentions the basketball team, trying to get him interested: n "...They have a D1 Basketball team..." n "Just saying."
- Nika doesn't know why he's going:
d "I don't even know why I'm going to college..."
scene ae1643 with dssa
m "So why did you say yes when I asked you?"
scene ae1645 with dssr
d "I had nothing else."
The reason I don't consider this 100% confirmation of not having a choice, and not explaining the steam page, is because not having a chance to look is not the same as being forced, or being granted acceptance. Nami's words makes it sound like they chose the only possible option, that they didn't even have the chance to consider options, which fits with their characterisation of being financially tight. This still doesn't explain why it's called a mystery. It's no mystery to choose to buy the version of a thing you can afford without seriously checking out all the versions you can't. Even if they looked around, window shopping isn't a mystery. The only mystery is if there was a forced choice or a scholarship, that then adds a question about why. Otherwise, it was just a lack of affordable alternatives.
I can see two mysteries that fit: Noji organises the college for them. Nami wouldn't care much, and neither would Nika, they'd trust her. Maybe it's a deal she has with her friends Z and P via the bookclub. Or, ZPR send the scholarships like Vic, and thye have an easy in. We've already discusse the second one enough (for at least a couple of weeks), and the first option has so many potential angles that I feel it's too early to speculate, without a little more information.
Maybe mail delivery in their part of Wollust is slower than in Vic's and we'll see it in the next chapter. The whole marketing blurb spoilers things by nature - no one buying the game for the first time knows who Bella is, so they will view her appearance in game as inevitable. It's equivalent to a movie trailer which has snippets of all the best shots spoiling all the best bitsSure, it doesn't change what I said and think, it's just that it's now clear that it's a major spoiler.

I don't agree, if I read the descriptions of the best sellers I can't find a single spoiler or over description of a character. At least now it's explicit what many of us have been saying for a long time (almost from the beginning) Bella is the co-protagonist, and she is canon... Even in that Ocean is changing his convictions, he always said that each player has his own canon... now it would be like Henry Ford said "your LI can be anyone as long as she is Bella"....Maybe mail delivery in their part of Wollust is slower than in Vic's and we'll see it in the next chapter.

I always saw Bella as canon, as is Nami. You can still play without being romantic with Bella, but you'll still get a haircut. You also can't avoid the wiggly . The canon is you are forced to interact with Bella because of Marla's class, but you can still ignore her romantically, that's were the alt locker room scene is fun. And LI wise Ocean's still got to please all the Sasha simps on his discordI don't agree, if I read the descriptions of the best sellers I can't find a single spoiler or over description of a character.

Nice to see that he permits fanart in the EULAThe one rule of the Licence is that you can't sell, share, or modify any part of the Software unless we agree to it in advance.
You can create "Fanart" of Summer's Gone - Season 1 as long as you credit Summer's Gone - Season 1 and OceanAVN in a respectable manner (not hidden and clearly visible).
Aw c'mon! You may not like Bellamites that much, but Bella is okayEven in that Ocean is changing his convictions, he always said that each player has his own canon... now it would be like Henry Ford said "your LI can be anyone as long as she is Bella"....
I don't want to hear it. Vanessa's sweet lips are on the main poster, so she's canon now. You got that?I always saw Bella as canon, as is Nami.
The mention of Bella comes so suddenly and unnecessarily. But I don’t like the description on Steam either. Too much information. The good description is here. It accurately conveys the premise and reveals only what you need to know.BTW Bella's not mentioned on the Steam page but the Epic store, i don't know why they're different - I would've judt copy/pasted, I don't think the epic gamers are more likely to be Bella fans than the steam ones
Bella is an Epic LI - so she Has to be mentioned by name......

Well I guess that explains the difference in the store pages in the simplest and most logically possible wayBella is an Epic LI - so she Has to be mentioned by name...
Cheers!!
Daaamn. I'm so slow I didn't see the "hidden" meaning until BobTheDuck replied.Well I guess that explains the difference in the store pages in the simplest and most logically possible way
Where is this from? I have taken a look at the steam page haven't seen anything like this.BTW Bella's not mentioned on the Steam page but the Epic store, i don't know why they're different - I would've judt copy/pasted, I don't think the epic gamers are more likely to be Bella fans than the steam ones
Speaking of Steam, did anyone notice Ocean has an EULA up now? It expressly mentions no one is allowed to mod the game.
Nice to see that he permits fanart in the EULA
"When the simps/Bella lovers see Bella"When people see Bella, all their anger for delay is gone
Whatcha mean it can't be cheaper? it's free right here.since the game on steam costs 15€ you will pay the same tier on patreon or ss. it can't be cheaper

It's on the right hand side of the page, just under the controller support.Where is this from? I have taken a look at the steam page haven't seen anything like this.
"When the simps/Bella lovers see Bella"
Whatcha mean it can't be cheaper? it's free right here.
Also, Steam has sales so, it'll be "cheaper to buy" sooner or later. If you plan on buying it on Steam/etc.
I rather play without being around Bella at all. But you are "forced" to interact with/be around her. He could have added another way of getting a haircut. It shouldn't be that hard.
Wiggly? those random poses Bella/Nami love doing for no reason? shit looks so stupid and out of place (since they do these weird poses for no reason) besides getting kids excited with them.
That's the "canon" ? us being forced just cause the Dev couldn't think of other ways of doing things? If it has to do with "Marla's Class" just change it up and change the parings or add choice for the MC to say "Fuck off" and leaves. The fuck should I care about this fake school shit? I'm the Protagonist and yet feel like a dumb puppet on the Devs finger strings.
Probably didn't mention her to get me to buy it.... I joke of course. I am sure he didn't want to keep shit the same in the info department. Doesn't really matter, not everyone reads the "About this game" section anyways.
He doesn't want people using the "incest" patch lol
I got curious.I rather play without being around Bella at all. But you are "forced" to interact with/be around her. He could have added another way of getting a haircut. It shouldn't be that hard.
As the Devil's Advocate again, my vote is for Marla because she's definitely the psychotic loose canon in this game."Marla when?" (there will be someone somewhere I guess? All power to them) etc
I gather you've thought long and hard to come to such a conclusion.As the Devil's Advocate again, my vote is for Marla because she's definitely the psychotic loose canon in this game.
Without a single shred of evidence, I submit:
1. Marla ran over and killed Summer.
2. Marla tried to run over Nami (but hit Nika). Leia gave Nami an earring to warn Marla not to try again.
3. Marla tried to run over Sasha, only injuring her. Leia gave Sasha an earring to warn Marla not to try again.
4. Marla ran over and paralyzed Victoria.
She's outta control. Who will be her next target?
That's the REAL reason Ocean originally had the Nika-shoots-Marla option in Ch 1... /s
..."drunk long and hard" is a more apt descriptionI gather you've thought long and hard to come to such a conclusion.
And what do you think people like me are doing here? I paid all the games I played. Even the real shitty ones. I'm not a sponge.Those people who buy games on Steam do not use pirated sites.
As the saying goes: ".......drunks and children........."..."drunk long and hard" is a more apt description
