Gotta thank Dessolos and Justaphase for pointing me this way. I just spent a lovely time with a bunch of lovely girls. (mostly - you know who you are you insensitive bitch) All pretty, with distinct personalities and some interesting backstories and experiences in their past. As a member of the 'Oh noes- tatoos' crowd, I really don't care about all the ink on display here. It fits, and after a while I just pretty much forgot about them as I got caught up in the story.

So; great characters, interesting story so far, pretty girls, great renders and animations (though, tbh I don't really care much about animations).
Another huge plus is the total absence of weird or safely gay (or both) best male friend. Zach, inspite of his name and all its baggage, is a great character. I can see some akward scenes in the future though with Caitlin being a bit loud and coming down for breakfast next morning.

I doubt that anyone cares much what I think, but I like Lane the best so far, so cute and a good friend, and Sloane the least. Apart from a certain insensitive bitch.
Absolutely great game.
Lane is a solid #2 LI for me, right after Cris. As you can see below she's gorgeous lol.
Someone did say step-bartenders?

She's nice and funny. A friend. (with occasional benefits)
the dev actually listed her as an actual LI she's just not part of the competition, same with seok. I value actual friendship in a partner, not just someone i put things in, and I love her sense of humor, so I'm all in on the Cris train as my MG

Oh, of course friendship is important. I like her a lot, just not as much that way I guess. Though as we get more branching paths, it's definitely not impossible that I do a save with her. But right now, Lane is my top girl.

I love this game, exactly 'cause it portraits my favorite kind of girl, the "alt girls". I understand it's not everybody cup of tea, but I"ll never understand the pure HATE that sometimes is vent here about tattooed/goth girls. There's a clear difference between "not my taste" to the shameless hate & prejudice that I ocasionally read round here.

Couldn't agree more. I'm not a fan of tattoos and piercings, but if you look beyond that you find perfectly normal young people trying to get on with their lives in a beautifully rendered game with a fun and engaging story with pretty and interesting girls. And if you have that, who cares about tats and piercings?

Same, I definitely have a thing for the "Alt Girl" look tattoos piercings, all that. Personally I hate the giant tits and even larger ass look that is so popular in avns, but not so much that I'm gonna go to every game thread and rant about it, I don't really get why people hate on the alt look so much. Fine if you don't like it but why rant about it constantly.

Totally agree, I love the characters in this game they are a lot of fun, it just so happens that they all fit a style I really like.

It's so nice to see this burst of interaction in this thread from you guys. This VN absolutely deserves more eyes on it. My only issue with the entire game thus far would be Sloanes disability. IMO maybe they should've wrote her with having a bipolar disorder and not ADHD, right? I'm definitely not a doctor, but from my limited knowledge, people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder do not go on blackouts, but bipolar sufferers most certainly can. It's not even a real immersion breaker for me. I love this one and hope it makes it past the finish line.

I had the same reaction at first, but then got the impression that we may not have seen all there is to this, that there is more to her problems than ADHD, but I may very well read more into it than what was intended.

You're right, still plenty of missing context. I'm exited for the future potential this game holds. :)

It does have a lot of potential and I get the impression that the Dev has put a lot of thought into the story.
Really happy I got the rec to check it out.

not gonna lie I'm bad with names in this game at least till I replay it and add it to my spreadsheet.

I recall I liked basically everyone but Zoe fuck her for how she treated that one girl want to say her name was Seokk.

I only know I liked Mary the best , then the weird girl forget her name , then Caitlyn

Funny thing is I didn't try this game for the longest time because while im not anti tattoo can't say i really liked any of the tattoo's in this game along with the short hair when looking at the banner or previews. They made the girls seem only okay but not attractive to me. Then I played it and now I don't give a shit all but Zoe are great. This was one of few games I played that got me to play paths and characters even if I don't like their appearance or something about them cause maybe overtime I will change my mind and find out they are actually really good characters I like.

This mirrors my own experience pretty well. I know I've checked it out previously, but it never grabbed my interest.
And you know, maybe we'll even like Zoe a bit better in time

Depends. My ex temporarily ended up on a medication that caused blackouts that would get significantly worse if she drank alcohol at all. I'd wake up and she'd be doing things like sweeping the carpet, not even realizing what she was doing. Any time you're on these sort of medications, you body will build up a resistance and eventually the doctor will have to switch up your meds. That can cause all sorts of fun problems with so many of these meds being legalized meth.

You have to remember, everyone responds differently and there are a lot of side effects that aren't listed bc they aren't the most common ones. It's kinda comical in a dark way, but if you look at depression meds, most of them carry the warning of causing suicidal thoughts. Showing that its not uncommon for meds intended for one specific thing can have the complete opposite effect in others. Blackouts on stimulants specifically is pretty common. Our own bodies natural stimulant is notorious for causing blackouts/seeing red, and otherwise causing issues with our memory of certain events.
