Realistically speaking, though, which is what this game has always been aiming for, despite all the good humor, and the ridiculousness in the details and character, most strong women don't like sharing. And all De Luca Women are strong women.

I mean, I think we all could agree, that despite all the weirdness in dialogue and all the jokes, and even inhuman abilities of the members of the family, one thing that have stayed true to the real world and have been hitting us all like a bullet train every update is: The emotions and feelings of the characters involved.

In the real world, couple love is not something that people, in general, like to share. It's not about selfishness or selflessness, love is love, and people usually don't like sharing when the love is deep enough. It's why monogamy became a thing in our society. I'm not saying there aren't exceptions, but exceptions are called exceptions for a reason. They are extremely rare, and they require really special circumstances. This game may or may not be one of those exceptions.

And if it's not an exception, it wouldn't be the first game on the site where if you choose to romance multiple girls, you actually end up on the "lonely" ending.

From a writer's perspective, Luna and Gracie MIGHT be open to sharing in the far future if there's some events that offer drastic changes, but in any case, it's quite hard to spin Isabel into the mix. It MIGHT be possible, extremely hard but possible. And I do believe Hopes is capable of it if he wills it, but I don't know if he would. None of us know for sure yet, which is why people have multiple saves just to be prepared.
If you consider a harem to be unrealistic that's your problem. In the real world, poly relationships have been common throughout history and statistically about 5% of Americans are in one today, regardless of if you think that's realistic or not. Monogamy is purely a social construct, not part of human nature.

Do you mean the Isabel Netori route? If so, NTR is not really the right definition i think.

Definition "Netori", Quelle: "Urban Dictionary":

someone. The protagonist forces a who is already in a relationship with a into a physical relationship, and the love interest comes to like it over time, thus either cheating or breaking up with their original partner.
NTR can mean both cuck or getting cucked
in janpanese its 2 words 寝 (sleep) and 取り(take)/取られ(taken)
i mean sure its usually mean you are the one getting cucked
but actually it can mean either way if just showing the word NTR

Okay, maybe I wasn't clear enough in what I said before. You're not really telling me anything I haven't already known. But here's the thing: Just because something is purely a social construct, doesn't mean they are wrong and should be disregard. And in all fairness, polygamy is also purely a social construct. Social construct doesn't just appear out of thin air, for absolutely no reason at all. They exist because society needed them to, for whatever purpose they served at the time they came to be. While SOME social construct are bad (i.e. sexism, racism), NOT ALL of them are bad. Most of them, in fact, are required for society to function properly. So yes, polygamy is a thing, consent polygamy with 0 jealousy are still rare. They exist, but they're still rare.

And don't get me wrong, I do enjoy reading a novel or playing a game with polygamy relationships, love them even, IF they are written realistically well and consider everyone involved's feelings. And I do believe Hopes is capable. But even you said so yourself, statistically, only 5% of Americans are in one today. Any relationship is hard, non-monogamous ones are usually even harder. And so many times I've seen a potential novel or game flushed down the toilet because the writer forced harem route to please fans.

I'm not saying they don't exist or that they shouldn't, I'm just saying they're not as common, and there are real reasons behind to consider. Humans' society have evolved to a point where humans' nature isn't the deciding factors all the time anymore. We're different compare to animals because we don't just do everything in our nature.

why do I find no German test only English and French
Because the game is only made in English, every translation are done separately by volunteer translators. Given that 0.06 was a recent update, only the French translator had provided his translation so far.

I mean, on the other hand it's not like a crime family of all things is gonna be too caught up in respecting the sanctity of monogamy.

But of course we're nowhere near far enough to know things would progress, Luna and Gracie love each other too much to let something like a conflict over a guy get between them, so they'll either be fine with sharing or they'll kill the MC together; after learning her backstory Isabel didn't seem to mind her husband having gone for a fling at a gay bar all that much, or at least she seemed more on the forgiving side, so she might be possible to convince, no idea with Cordia as we haven't had as much time with her.

Then there's Antonio, just imagine how that dialogue would go
MC: I'm fucking you wife
Antonio: ...
MC: and your sister, both your sisters actually
Antonio: ...
MC: ...
Antonio: ...
MC: and your mom too
MC: Call me "daddy"

what if Antonio "bites the dust".
Antonio could accidently trip and fall when no one is watching.
Yeah, accidents happen. Especially in this work environment.
You guys aren't thinking of the most obvious solution to all this, remember that we have confirmation from his own wife that Antonio is bi,marriage is all about "what's yours is mine", your lover can also be MY lover, problem solved

.../sigh ty, but it still doesn't help. following the included guide:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.


If nobody has any suggestions, i guess i'll start a new game
Before that-
Have you used any cheats? That could've messed up something.

Try to download the 0.06.1 then (without adding anything) reload your game. Go to the laptop. Use the bugfix in laptop and it should work. Hopefully.

There's a major problem with this game. The girls are way too hot and I can't figure out which one is the hottest. I go through a scene with Luna and I think wow she's gorgeous, then Gracie and I'm like nope she's the hottest and then Isabel and I have the same problem. Usually I can play a game and come up with my favorite girl with no problem, but this one is different. Each time I play it the same thing happens.

I know the struggle, man. After 4 games, 8 sleepless nights, 32 cups of coffee and "Learn to rank Mafiosa's daughters for Dummies" ; I managed to set my sights on Luna.
Stay strong, man. You're halfway there.
