Hmm... Try downloading from a different place/link? From the links provided on the first post, try gofile maybe?Try re-downloading then unzipping the new download again.
I've done it twice and the result is the same. I'm not using any mods, I've even deleted all the old saves..
It would be a slower process especially at first but he’d make it as he comes out of his shell and he attends Amber’s sessions.it's still a question of his willingness to engage with others outside of that, without the nudging of Nami.
Nika and Bella’s relationship would start off less rocky without Nami’s prank but she would still bully him for his appearance and low social status. They’d go together to Bella’s house where they’d have the fight over Bella’s sister and everything else would stay unmutated between them from there.In that case, how would Nika have bonded with Bella in the alternate scenario, and, outside of Jeff, would Nika get an outside perspective on Bella's character and bitchiness?
Yeah, people can voice opinions, but look at it from the perspective of people that come to this thread often.I dunno bro, I think people should be allowed to voice their opinions. To me "um accascuse me, that was asked on page 12 etc already lol *emoji* shut up" type replies over and over are infinitely more annoying. 5 years of dev time on, obv people who care enough to find this forum will repeat points when they exist.
When the female characters are all hyper sexualized, and are put in sexual situations, people are going to ask it. "OMG shut up" is still clogging up discussion, it just also makes people look like pricks.
Preview screenshots, promotional materials, majority of it has tna, then people spend 15 hours on the game and not only don't get it, but prior content is removed.
I think referencing any other property is blasphemy here, so in general terms imo if ocean or his fans wanted to avoid "where sex", and its going to be story over sex, the characters should have been made semi realistic body and clothing wise, and it shouldnt have half the promo screenshots be ass. You can't sell a game up front on sex, and then be upset people ask where's the sex. When half the characters up front look like porn game characters instead of just hot girls, I mean c'mon. You can know it's a slow burn but also think it's kind of dumb, you don't have to take a hard stance or act like a schoolyard bully.
This is also the only real forum for quite a few adult games for people to have any chance of voicing complaints without being banned (usually) or dogpiled as heathens, so if not here, then where? I mean I don't mean to be rude, I like it here and there's cool dudes, but if you're not allowed to voice petty complaints you ought as well just join the discord or whatever, never voice dissent or say basically anything, consume content and wait for next content instead of defending the dev and hating criticism, on a piracy site (?)
DLC? lol what?
I don't think so (not using it but I think I read that it doesn't work?) if I am wrong, correct my dumb ass.Also does the uncensor patch undo all the steam BS like bringing back the Nami hot tub scene?
I'm just not sure Nika would interact will Mila the same in our "alternate scenario" without Nami's presence on that first day. You mention Nika first met Mila with Trey, but he also abandoned them moments later without warning. i still contend - no Nami, no Nika joining the group on the sports field.It would be a slower process especially at first but he’d make it as he comes out of his shell and he attends Amber’s sessions.
Something to consider, Nika and Noji’s relationship would be different if Nami wasn’t there. He would feel more responsibility towards Noji and that he needs to make right by her and grow above his weakness.
Nika and Bella’s relationship would start off less rocky without Nami’s prank but she would still bully him for his appearance and low social status. They’d go together to Bella’s house where they’d have the fight over Bella’s sister and everything else would stay unmutated between them from there.
He’d gain another outside perspective on Bella from Mila just like it happens in the game.
I see Sasha as the opposite of Vic.It’s different with Sasha. Say Amber and Nick, they’re open minded people, they don’t care that Nika comes from an ordinary family. We haven’t met Sasha’s family but they give the opposite impression, she has a bodyguard and admits to feeling oppressed. I assume a similar dynamic as with Summer’s parents will develope with Sasha’s family, where they’ll disapprove of Nika and make it harder for the two of them to be together.
It was mentioned a couple days back that Sasha might move far away in the future. Maybe cause her parents don’t want her to associate with Nika anymore and use that ploy to keep them apart.
But love will find a way for me to reunite with her
Outta reactionsThank god Sasha’s boobs don’t look nothing like Vic’s, more like Vic lost the lottery
![]()
which is obvious to me that Mika and Sasha are, let's say, in the slander phase. On the surface they show their dislike for each other, but in short scenes their sympathy for each other briefly emerges.I see Sasha as the opposite of Vic.
Vic will apparently gravitate toward Nika even if he remains a total asshole. I expect she's "made" that way to be the universal throuple enabler.
On the other hand, I cannot see Sasha showing romantic interest in Nika if he remains an asshole (I don't believe she would reject him for lack of wealth or social standing if she fell in love).
Outside of that, I think things said by Sasha (her personal interpretation of the Panda/Butterfly story) in the bookclub scene do set up a later scenario where she could become romantically attracted to a non-asshole Nika, but they find resistance to their coupling from her family. Having said that, a lot will depend on Nika's true origins (i.e. his parents)... whatever they may be.
That's the problem, bro. Every new "critic" of the game, coming to this thread, for some reason considers themself a unique, inimitable snowflake that everyone should admire. From the outside it seems that you guys consider yourself missionaries in a pagan land, bringing the Light of Truth to these lost souls.I dunno bro, I think people should be allowed to voice their opinions.[...]
Since you mentioned these people who care enough to find this forum and will repeat points when they exist, and I think you are one of them, what I wrote above is just a boring repetition of myself, since I want you to understand where I'm coming from. I usually don't see any point in this discussion, since those who start it just want to throw shit on the fan. Therefore, I quietly put them on ignore and we coexist perfectly in this thread, without talking or noticing each other. But you seem to have joined this thread recently and are apparently sincerely surprised by such a reaction to your post.To me "um accascuse me, that was asked on page 12 etc already lol *emoji* shut up" type replies over and over are infinitely more annoying. 5 years of dev time on, obv people who care enough to find this forum will repeat points when they exist.
Nice. What Ocean thinks, you can ask him, but as one of those who like his games and who you apparently call his "fans" (I swear I don't have his merch t-shirt!) I can answer that question for you on the part addressed to the "fans".I think referencing any other property is blasphemy here, so in general terms imo if ocean or his fans wanted to avoid "where sex", and its going to be story over sex, the characters should have been made semi realistic body and clothing wise, and it shouldnt have half the promo screenshots be ass. You can't sell a game up front on sex, and then be upset people ask where's the sex. When half the characters up front look like porn game characters instead of just hot girls, I mean c'mon.

Oh man. Of course you can express whatever you want, criticism, complaints, wishes, whatever. But this is not enough for you, you also need others to agree with you and not show you their irritation, disagreement, or simply lack of any interest in your opinion. That's the problem with all local critics, they don't mind the echo chamber, they want it, they just don't like what it sounds like now.I mean I don't mean to be rude, I like it here and there's cool dudes, but if you're not allowed to voice petty complaints you ought as well just join the discord or whatever, never voice dissent or say basically anything, consume content and wait for next content instead of defending the dev and hating criticism, on a piracy site (?)
Why not? I'm sure most people treat these DLCs simply as an opportunity to support Ocean and the soundtrack artists (iirc he wrote that he splits revenue from music DLCs with them 50/50)DLC? lol what?
Also does the uncensor patch undo all the steam BS like bringing back the Nami hot tub scene?
if you're still alive by then
There are bad acts and there are stupid acts. The heist, the use of Vanessa, and their "brilliant" plan to destroy the Holgerson family are mostly stupid acts, but that doesn't make them any less malicious. No doubt, if Vanessa had turned out to be that dumbo bimbo, they would have tried to put their plan into action.You keep saying that Bella needs to face consequences for her actions. Tell me, what are the horrible things she’s done? Let’s start with the bullying. It wasn’t nice but I’ve seen much worse cases of bullying that would certainly deserve harsher consequences than what she faced. I repeat, she has been reproached by Nika and the people around her and has suffered enough for it to see the error in her ways. She’s still justly considered a bad person in Wollust, an important plot point in the future, trying to prove people wrong despite the past. All of this is a good way to show that she has a conscience and isn’t a bad person at heart and it’s good storytelling, what other consequences do you want on that side?
Let’s move on from the bullying and delve further. You talk about rules of fiction but you vastly overestimate Bella’s badness in doing so. She isn’t some villain who deserves to be hit extremely hard by the plot, but she is a rash person and will suffer because of that. There’s no “magic bubble” that protects her as opposed to what you say, as seen with the intervention of Ceril’s sister and the appearance of her rival. She’s bound to face a lot of danger in the future at the hands of the enemies she herself has created. The biggest enemy of Bella is Bella herself as seen with the heist and illegal racing and who knows what else she’ll do in the future. She will pay the price for her actions.
*He's not wrong!* The book does suck. But it's meant to suck, because Nika is going to right Charlotte's wrong, and allow Susan, porn author extraordinaire, to choose the book.Sasha is my girl (despite what some people say cause I've been defending Bella lately *COFF COFF*) so I replayed that part after a long time to get back to you.

Do you just want me to die before season 2 comes out? Damn dude, I guess we'll all win at this game by collecting all the wine...and let's play a game about every time someone comes into a thread and complains about the people complaining about the lack of sex scenes and porn , you drink too.

No. The current uncensor patch/mod is for the Ch5 Beta, it won't work on the steam version. If you want to see the hot tub, you have to play the incomplete version of the season.DLC? lol what?
Also does the uncensor patch undo all the steam BS like bringing back the Nami hot tub scene?
Again well thought. Bella does have one extenuating circumstance though, she is not of a balanced mind. The ease with which Nika can trigger her, and her reaction to kissing Nika shows her instability. That might affect any sentencing should their be legal action. Amber's reluctance to get objective help for Bella, but trusting her own mother's skills and therapist skills is blinded by her being a mother. This is not to excuse anything, but to consider mitigating circumstances, and how Ocean might spin things. Also, it would be easy for Stefan to be magnaimous about Bella, but he wouldn't be over NIka, considering he is evil. He pulled strings to charge Mila, with no proof, simply because Mario likes teasing her? Maybe there's more there - not saying that Bella is honest or dishonest, but Stefan has attempted to ruin Mila for what reason? The same logic you're applying to Bella extends to Stefan.There are bad acts and there are stupid acts. The heist, the use of Vanessa, and their "brilliant" plan to destroy the Holgerson family are mostly stupid acts, but that doesn't make them any less malicious. No doubt, if Vanessa had turned out to be that dumbo bimbo, they would have tried to put their plan into action.
The Mila situation, before which Nika is already plotting his revenge, is his excuse. Bella doesn't care about her and isn't close to him when she agrees to the plan. Her excuses are Amber and blind hatred.
There is no evidences that Stefan desires her mother or that he is a pedophile. Bella throws around serious accusations without adding any value to them even in the form of arguments. She accuses Stefan of being a pedophile, but does so in such a short form and never returns to it again though this pedophile socialises with her mother. Someone will find it unreasonable for me to focus so much attention on this moment, but I have a suspicion that this is a bait for trusting players. It's like thoughts just pop up in her mind as excuses for more hate. This makes her descriptions of other characters less trustworthy, this also applies to her description of Vanessa. Overall, even if Stefan lusts after Amber, their plan remains horrible.
Bella knows that Vanessa is Zara's sister who is her classmate and former friend. She doesn't mind using her anyway. Despite the fact that Vanessa has nothing to do with what is going on between them and the Holgersons. She's just Mario's girlfriend, she is innocent in this part of the story.
But no extra thought. Let's just do it.
For some reason, Bella feels no remorse for these acts. How so? She's a better person after meeting Nika, she felt so sorry when she humiliated that poor woman in the restroom. What an interesting, selective sense of conscience she has. It feels like as long as Bella's atrocities don't involve her personally and aren't committed in front of her, she's fine with them. After all, she is afraid the old pervert will seduce her mother, but she is alright with giving him the other woman. That alone is completely fucked up. So no, she doesn't see the error in her ways yet. She's totally blind.
Nika who functions as her conscience remains silent on that matter too and only sounds the alarm when they are at risk being fucked by Vanessa for their imbecility. What a great man, literally a messiah who appeared to guide Bella on the right path... with a blindfold and on his hands so she would not see that they were walking over people's heads. He should look in the mirror and take the beam out of his eye. What a hypocritical, brainless piece of shit. I love it. His view on Bella is biased, has no real weight and indicates nothing. The same goes for his self-view.
I must have made a mistake when I placed William but not Nika after Leia. Good for Nick that her daughter is so suspicious. Who knows what other scumbags might be on their doorstep next time.
Am I vastly overestimating Bella's badness?You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I want to especially emphasise that they're not learning any lessons from the situation with Vanessa. Their plan fails, they shrug their shoulders and move on. They will do it again if a suitable target comes to hand.
Bella studied the Holgersons house before the events. She knows the layout of the building and the exact positions of the security cameras. She was preparing to break into their property. And this isn't her first heist, she has experience.
I never called her a villian. But I consider her a terrible person.
After writing that all, I'm not even sure she's better than Vanessa.
The plot should hit her not because she does bad things in the first place, but because she does things that by common sense should have far-reaching consequences. She's a criminal, she broke the law, she crossed powerful people. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Consequences are not necessarily punishment for bad actions and are not necessarily justified. But since this is a story about healing, I suppose these consequences must have some moral basis.
Now you seem to agree with me on that. But earlier you wrote, "She doesn’t deserve to be punished further for her actions, her guilt is enough punishment." And then you continued to press the point that she has regrets and feelings. You didn't call it a "magic bubble" but that's essentially what follows from what you were saying.
Good storytelling? Can't say yet.
I hope Ocean understands what he writes.
Because if he doesn't... bruh.
BobTheDuck,
Are we still certain Vanessa is a more bad person than Bella?
Personally I'm not sure now. It seems Bella has a very rich list.
Oh, I forgot, she has regrets. Which she turns off whenever she pleases.
But seriously. She literally planned to corrupt a girl and destroy a family.
Where's the lesser evil here? Yes, Vanessa shoved a buttplug in Mario's ass.
How? We can only make assumptions. Unlike with Bella.
Using the compressed version? My advice for all renpy games - download the PC compressed version, and the renpy version, and make your own mac version. Something about the renpy archives can sometime break when compressed. The other way is to download both PC and mac version, and replace the game folder of the mac app with the PC one.On converting game for mac giving error
ScriptError: could not find label 'start'.
