Btw I'm curious about what people think of Jake. I liked the guy at first because, well, he's a nice dude who just gets bullied, but his powers (and arguably Ella's influence, though there nothing proving she made him do what he did to the twins during the "therapy" visit to the frat house) seem to start to make him become a douchebag, to be honest...
Like, he starts to think he can do whatever he wants and, to be honest, I'm starting to be kinda afraid the story is gonna turn NTR as (thanks to Ella) he might just brainwash every member of the supporting cast to be his personal harem and turn them against the protag.
I mostly blame Ella, but I do think Jake has to make up for all he's done somehow. After that though, I think he can be redeemed and could end up joining our side. It's possible there would be a choice to either spare / recruit him or kill him.
I don't think there's gonna be any more NTR besides the optional Liz route.

Wait, what ? I don't remember reading anything about devouring Danica... Hell I didn't even get anything about devouring Kenny, my protag just crushed his head as far as I remember... Was I paying that little attention or did I get a variant where my protag just deosn't canibalize other Superhumans ?




I seem to also remember a mention of something similar during the scene where you try to put the lure on the sewer tits monster... I might have misread though, but I could swear I read something that reminded me of that stone ball/ring/whatever it is...


Heh. I just went with one of my go-to names that works with both genders : Robin.
And I named his genderswap self Bailey... Wich got hilarious when I met the zombie girl. XD

I have to admit, if it comes to that, heads are gonna roll.
I'm not into NTR.

Edit : Tried to fix the quote tags but they keep going back to being fucked up. So screw it.
Eating kenny happens if you let your powers consume him(the choice allow these feelings to continue), as for Danica it happens after your battle in the mafia office building where you can kill her or let her go but she gets away and when you later escape you involuntarily eat her if you chose to kill her before.

thinking about this I get a Price of persia/Venom/Carnage vibe where we have a symbiotic entity which connects us to the Apostles/Elder beings since it mentions "we" alot of the times.

Now as for the Minyak is concerned she is animilastic in desire where all she wishes is to eat and mate, but as a species they desire "Worship" which could mean they want power.(refer to the titan fights)

Jake is a clueless, meek and weak willed individual with great potential given powers and thrust into things he has no idea of, he is a foil to the MC who had a better upbringing and sound mindset, as we understand things he does not, think of him as someone who was always busy trying to just get by and now suddenly has a million dollars where the chances of him mismanaging it highly likely as he doesn't have the mental fortitude nor the primal desire for strength and power with which he will better himself as he is too busy trying to make up for what he lacks.
People will dislike him but considering where he comes from I can understand him, which makes his character all the more interesting as he is someone who never dared for much and now that he can and does, he goes about it in the wrong way or the one which harms his allies while falling prey to others(Ella), would love to see where his story ends along with what he can achive.

Personally I find Alice, Tiffany and Claudia attractive partners and see the rest as flings or just friends like Mia (it would be hilarious to see her paired with Micheal but I wouldn't mind her with Jake)

For Danica, that's why, I guess. I said I'd let her go. Cuz she's hot. So that's why I didn't "eat" her. But I don't remember what I did with Kenny... Maybe if I try a second run or to check back the saves from that scene. Seems like I missed some lore there, probably.

I meant more that, I seem to recall the protag, during that scene, to mention the stone thingy. I could be missremembering though. I didn't go back to check yet (I'm still digesting the story as a whole to be honest).

Yeah, but the thing is, Jake isn't stupid to begin with. Gulible, maybe. In over his head, certainly. But the fact that he doesn't even question anything Ella says to him, despite the number of times she treats him like dogshit, and openly calls him useless, stupid, cowardly, etc, it's baffling to me that he doesn't try thinking, himself, outside of just what she tells him... It's like his powers also dulled his brain or something.

You don't need to go back and check as the choice of consuming his head ends with you going crazed and dying while having snu snu.

That mentality will get you killed someday you horny boi XD

Jake is smart in one dimension that being retaining knowledge whereas he lacks in the other dimensions such as Critical thinking, insight, social awareness etc
People like him are oblivious or have a single tract mind and don't dare to achieve their dreams while rotting in ordinary, they lost what it means to live life and dare to achieve greatness, could be because he grew up in a single mother household and didn't have a positive male rolemodel to look upto and also male friends.

Ho it did, don't worry about that. But you can't deny she's quite good looking, when she's not trying to kill you.

Still seems extremely weird to me that he was so quick to believe the protag is an asshole despite him literally standing up to Untouchable Douchebag Jared to protect him, though... I mean, I know Ella's really good at messing with people's heads (after all she made me doubt and change my mind about her something like 3 or 4 times), but at this point it's like Jake would rather not even want to consider that he could have been right with his first impression...

My Superhero name is - Darkness

The reason why is because the Darkness is one of my favorite videogames and the dev was inspired by it(and several other series, which is great). The MC is also shrouded in dark armor which makes it perfect and it resembles the Darkness armor(comics), in that it has the dark tentacles and stuff. The name just fits so well with the game that you'd think it was the default name.

Yeah is something I hate is how easily Jake hates the MC because Ella says so (mostly because I play MC as a good boy and I ALWAYS been good to him

Yep. She just has to tell him "he's a killer, he'll kill you" and it seems enough to wipe away all the times the MC was nice, friendly or even outright defending Jake.

Given Jake's incel vibes I could see jealously being a credible arc, or also a sort of two-faced goading of the "he'll respect you only once you're really powerful so you must show him first ..." sort of thing.

Or if it's done the way via essentially "false flag" operations then turn into multiple people at different times and have them all say something that'd lead him to draw such a conclusion.

But I agree with the posters above that the whole "btw he's bad" "omg thx for telling me I'll do what you say" is a bit ... eeeeh. Not entirely credible. Maybe it ultimately doesn't matter so much and is more about the outcome than the motivation, but. Could be improved upon.

It gets even worse because he tries to use the MC as justification for his misuse of his own powers. At every turn Jake screwed up something. All because of his inferiority complex. Ella definitely played a part in his manipulation but we can't blame her for all of his own actions.

Ella told him the MC is a genuine killer. What does Jake do immediately after? He goes and decide to mess with the MC's close friends on his own because he hears that the MC "does it too". There's plenty of times he could've made better decisions but he chose to be this way at every turn(like the beach with Mia). I don't feel sorry for him when Hero hunts him for being that idiotic. I definitely won't as well if i ever catch him.

That said, i mostly play as "kill most enemies who are threats, protect my friends/waifus and chase power". Not a good guy, as i will kill people with no remorse, but not totally evil, as it's mostly only when I'm provoked by others. Jake so happened to provoke me several times with no deserved consequences.

Exactly, I find the "he does it too" inexcusable.

Not to mention that, if I recall correctly, Ella does tell Jake that the MC's powers are not the same as his, meaning not mind manipulation... and yet he seems to believe the MC uses his powers to get girls ?
I mean, it's not completely wrong, but at the same time, it's from his own efforts. He doesn't just mindbend girls to do whatever he wants, which is more akin to rape when you think about it...

Eh... Ella gaslights jake into thinking it is him or MC, that MC is going to just eat him if he does not shape up.
As he wallows in existential dread he still tries to reach out to the MC to see if maybe ella is wrong... only to find Ella in disguise who makes it very clear that ella is right.
It honestly makes perfect sense from his perspective. I am more miffed with Ella doing this.
Not saying I forgive Jake, he dug his own grave after Ella gaslit him. But I do understand him.

He dug his own grave when he decided to trust 100% of what she was saying to him without questionning anything and without trying to think for himself. For a supossed smart guy, used to study wich implies researching and comparing informations, he's way to gullible and willing to take what assertive people tell him as absolute facts.

You literally quoted me saying he explicitly did not do that
He believed she was wrong, and went out to find for himself. only to be "proven wrong" by a shapeshifted ella (assuming your choices were such that you didn't prove him wrong)
