Well.. This update felt a bit like a slap and forced out of the window..
(I'll get to that in spoiler)

I hope it's just a case of it being ep6 p1(part 1?) early access at play here.

Writer changed for this update? - the "English barrier" seem to have moved quite in the wrong direction with this update.
And is quite a bit.. Inconsistent compared to previous episodes.
(again, hope it's just due to "Early Access". So I apologize if that's the case)


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

Anyways... I really hope this is just a "part 1" and early access "fluke".
Cuz up until this episode, I liked the VN.

Late Happy New Year, and all that.

Wish you best of luck onwards.

And have a good one!

I really wish this game is more cohesive. I feel like the plot is okay, but the game really struggles incorporating the girls into the plot so that the girls feel like random parts of the game just to make this porn game. The dialogue also continues to feel very bloated. Lots of sitting down and talking but not enough progress in comparison to the amount of dialogue.

Finished the update. Thankfully, the cliffhanger is clearer this time, and is food for thought instead of "WTF?!". So, now that Ledger offered to join his side, I can see four options for MC to choose to continue the story:

1) Ledger. I doubt he'll be popular after what he put the MC through, but hey, maybe some players want the MC to be a bad boy?
2) Harold. The saner of the brothers, and, I think, the laziest option: with him, the MC doesn't have to do much, just spill the beans and bail.
3) Stay true to Mr. Grey via working with Martha. The MC has to stay active, because his boss is currently losing his fight against the Adler brothers.
4) Some sort of gambit involving the Sawyers?

Now, about the girls:

Pros:
Kelly's and Lily's plot finally developed, and they got some quality time together, something they missed recently. Also, Kelly and the Grey sisters get the relationship development with the MC, with Helen going all the way from "get away from my company" to saying "not yet" at the prospect of getting pregnant by the MC :oops: . Finally, Jenny returned and had a nice scene with the MC!

Cons:
No Martha or Lisa (my fav) this time; while Lisa's absence continues to have a very good reason, I really think Martha should have tighter control over the whole mole investigation thing, as now the MC wants to take the head lawyer of the company down.

Wild card:

Anna (who's now only in the game if you romance her, completely absent otherwise) moves to another city for months to work. Might be a test for her fans, with the MC already being pessimistic about the whole thing.

The final thing I wanna say is that I came to respect the MC. The dude gets tons of shit thrown at him all the time, yet stoically stands up and keeps going. Mad respect.

EDIT: It'd be hilarious if Beth was just Ledger's lover, and the mole is actually someone else :ROFLMAO:

So I think there's five people we know for sure are LI. Haley, Helen, Kelly, Lily(?), Anna. I thought Martha and Judy would be LIs, but apparently the developer disagreed with me.:Kappa:It doesn't feel natural, like LIs are forced into the story of the game.And I honestly didn't feel a romantic connection with any of them.

I don't really care about spoilers and after reading some of the thoughts on the latest update, I think I might have to put this one on the shelf for a while. Losing Anna for a while sounds like a deal breaker for me. I'm not really all that invested in the main plot so the girls are really all I was focusing on.

Same here.
I'm 2 updates behind and was gonna play it but now thinking about waiting a bit more.
No Anna - no joy for me :)

On the other hand, Lily is my 2nd fav LI and her path develops a bit... decisions, decisions)

honestly this is a game I like to skip 1-2 updates to play. I do want to replay with this update but also considering maybe waiting for the next. While im not sure where I stand on the Anna and Lilly front myself as I can't recall how much I liked any of the girls really in this without a replay other than the streamer friend. I got a pretty beefy backlog and I imagine next update will fly by if I focus on clearing my backlog especially cause im gonna be doing some AAA gamin for probably a month - 2 months while only playing trashy AVN's when I do play one.

Contrary to their plot development, Anna has a sex scene this update and Lily doesn't :p . Another variable to your calculation ;).

7 Li , but yes same for me, i was surprised with how quickly Helen relationship pass to "i hate you" to "i want your baby, just not yet' with just one sex scene between the two "that wasnt supposed to change anything between them", and mc visiting her one time after his kidnapping.

I had to check if i didnt miss or didnt remembered since it's been some times but no, and it's like that with a lot of event in the game sadly , which is sad since the story isnt bad but it feel rushed, especialy the girls.

Also kind of disapointing to see that if we dont romance the girls, they completly disapear of the story like Haley/Helen, and now even the girls we are on the path of, like Anna who's probably out of the story for good , and there are some like Jenny that even the dev seem to have forgott about ... ^^

Helen's reaction makes sense in-story, as the MC supported her in a highly emotional moment of her dad nearly getting killed, and then a large timeskip happened where they could develop their relationship. Same with Haley if she's chosen - while they don't have sex, they are shown to be very close after the skip.
But I do agree that for outside viewers like the players, the change is rather abrupt, and timeskip is a pretty primitive tool.

As for girls disappearing... It depends. Like, I'm fine with there not being any Anna content if she isn't romanced because it makes sense (she started as a hookup), but losing Haley (still part of the company) to a single choice is... questionable.

Also, Jenny came back this update… But to see her, you have to not be on Anna's path.
