Bug report there's a "Save your game" screen at the end of day 71. And an error screen at the end of day 72.

Story in the game is lovely.

Some feedback\request
I think, if the MC has previously made choices to have fun with Amber it might be logical for MC to consider and possibly accept the idea of becoming Amber's manager.
1 She is a THS member and interconnection is valuable if MC is seeking power
2 That is a source of income if MC is seeking money
3 MC getting to that point meaning he is interested in and enjoying meeting with Amber from time to time and it is mutual. Which will only benefit MC being the manager.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I don't agree that it's logical.

1) Whoever is managing Amber is doing well. She is one of the top stars in her business and makes a lot of money.
2) Why would she want a manager who doesn't have knowledge about this industry? I can't see that MC would be qualified to manage one of the top stars in this industry.
3) MC has a reputation as a respected actor. I don't think it would be good for his reputation to become a manager for a porn actress. It would also be bad for Sophia's reputation is she has the same manager as a porn star.

1. Well, she (Amber) clearly complains about her manager. She even suggested that MC becomes her manager, quoting "so, if you want the job, it's yours."

2. MC just recently became Sophia's manager and doing good so far. And overall, I don't think that adult entertainment cinematography is that far apart from regular. Well, screenplay, production - probably are. But we are talking now about actor\actress management: scheduling, logistics, promotion, personal care, assisting and arranging legal representation - which is more or less similar. And MC does have a good understanding how things are happening behind the scenes. Would MC be fully qualified to represent Amber? Another quote by Amber "I'm sure that you're capable of learning what you need to know", meaning she trusts MC. Would he actually be able to do that - no clear answer but everything is possible.

3) Now that is a valid point. To some extent. It would be tarnished more if he would participate in same movies as Amber. But he is not. Would Sophia's reputation suffer if she is using same air fare company as Amber? or eats in same restaurant? Or even dresses with the same designer? Obviously personal Manager is more involved than just a transportation\dining\clothing. How about lawyer? Would Sophia's reputation suffer if she is represented by the same lawyer as Amber. Frankly I doubt that.

Anyway. I've voiced over my suggestion, provided arguments (that I consider valid). I'm not planning on arguing further as all of it is strictly hypothetical.
If the suggestion will make the game this way or another - I'll be glad.
If not - so be it. The author doing fine so far even without my suggestions.

I had totally forgotten about that Amber complained about her agent and asked MC if he wanted the job.

Anyway, we're not going in that direction. MC has enough job with Sophia and handling THS business.

Thank you. I forgot to create the label Day73 at the end of day 72. Just press rollback and save the game. The next update start with day 73 so you haven't missed any content.

As I said - I had a suggestion. But you are the helmsman.

if I recall correctly there was some hints of a Porn path for MC and Angelina if he went out with Amber, is that something that you are planning to explore?

It is an interesting proposition that Amber gave him, but it would never work even if he was interested. Pornography just doesn't work the same way the entertainment industry does. In Hollywood, the relationship between agents and productions is adversarial but respectful. They both know they have a job to do. The relationship between agents and producers in the porn industry can be more adequitly described as incestous. They are in bed together, both figuratively and sometimes literally. That's why the performers in pornography get paid absolutely crap and why Amber is dissatisfied. The best thing that he could do for her is encourage her to create her own platform to perform on and take ownership of her own content.

 

[Frankbob]

This story isn't really suited for a porn star route. I could see leaning into a more elite discreet sex club route tho, it's not far off from what THS already is as it definitely incorporates sex and girls a part of it business model.

Heyyy! The Higher Society, Text Based as illustration, so does this mean that The Higher Society Illustrated as text ???

 

[Hfap5]

It would have been a good thing if it was real incest... why aren't there any incest games anymore? or at least the incest mod?

Just so i don't make the same mistake, what choices do i need to make to avoid get send to heaven (hell ?) again ?

Sorry to hear that you need to start over. There are some bad endings and different paths in this game so I will recommend to have some save games. If you died in a car accident then you probably discussed something sensitive with Yvette in your office or shared information from that conversation with Mr. Q later. (Don't trust Mr. Q, your office is bugged and THS will kill you if you're not loyal.)
