Be careful with the cheats and walkthroughs. The variables might not be obvious. For example the 'badboy' variable is not necessarily bad. Some women want a bad boy, whereas others may prefer someone that isn't bad. My advice, if you want all options available is to be somewhere in the middle. In the next chapter (Chapter 4), your earlier choices will have significant effects on a major option.

I mean, the problem is without knowing what "stats" or variables people are at its hard to just load a save and keep going having to remember where all the girls are at.

And honestly if there are some girls that are locked out by either being "bad" or "good" thats all the more reason to use a mod, or something like URM. I'm just not going to replay a game for a handful of scenes when 95% of the game stays the same.

Yeah, I get it. Just trying to help.

FANTASTIC UPDATE! Way to stick the landing dev!

I personally didn't care about all the ex cheating/Isabella dating/Brooke escort drama folks had w/Chapter 1-2 but I have to say if you're still complaining after all dev's rework addressing those issues (which in my opinion are OUSTANDING btw), then you've set the bar a tad too high and this game just isn't for you. In fact, in terms of the sheer amount of rework put into the current version, it's pound-for-pound the best and certainly fastest course correction I've ever seen in an adult game while still circling back to the original storyline. And I'm sure some may complain (bcuz that just what people like to do) or some may think it unorthodox, but given the amount of re-tooling, I even liked the "Brooke-on-stage" intro as the re-introduction-slash-explanation device. That was creative and smart.

Already looking forward to the next update and hopefully a scene or two w/the new FDA girl!

wow, that's actually the first conception of the healthy developer, where you are actually allowed to "play by ear" (i.e. using intuition) and don't need a massive walkthrough full of twisted choices. thanks dude, i hope you'll make some great game.
note! i'm wrighting this haven't yet played the game - will show the reality in the following review.

Why would I choose a non-lewd option in an AVN?

Because you want to pretend to be a normal (non creep) human. Remember, you just need to pretend!
Just do it and use rollback...
That would be good if the creep option was actually creepy, instead of the girls reacting positively all the time, which gives mixed signals. It would also be good if choosing the non-creep option gave anything positive instead a skipped scene. There's also no way to reduce the score or going in the other direction, so after a few times what's the incentive to choose a different option if you're permanently locked in bad boy mode?

This use of points only encourages meta things like rolling back or save file editing to remove points or forcing scenes to happen anyway. A choice needs to be A vs B instead of A vs not A.

THANKS! The Brooke on stage intro was added at the last moment. And I love it too! I liked Brooke yelling at me angrily! I decided to add it just in case there were those that didn't play the revised Chapter 2 and were confused. The fact that it turned into a fun scene is just a bonus!

And worry not, Shriya (the FDA chick) will be back! Perhaps for some sexy time! She is clearly interested...

Feel free to participate in all lewd acts, you will not be punished! As for simpler things like checking out a girls boobs, maybe don't look all the time, especially if she responds with a scowl (the first time you talk to Brooke you are given the choice to check out her chest, if you do, she scowls at you pretty harshly - I'm trying to make this obvious). If you do miss out on a pivotal lewd scene, I will also tell the player that they missed it and why. I've set the bar very low to be able to see all content, but I did want there to be at least some consequences to your choices, especially if you go in one extreme.

So far, the story looks promising. Shriya from the FDA - I bet the dev has never seen a government employee though, lol
Oh I have, and that's part of the joke. I try to be somewhat realistic in my game, but I also have fun and Shriya is NOT realistic in the slightest. From her looks and attire to her very flirtatious nature. She is just fun. Similar to what I did with the two workers at the sex clinic in Chapter 2. I find it refreshing to lighten up the mood sometimes.

In both those cases, I did not originally write them to be comedy. The sex clinic was going to be a serious scene, but as I was rendering it, I didn't like it. Too heavy. So I decided to make it fun and whimsical. I changed all the colors and put in light-hearted music. And then I completely re-wrote the dialogue and made the two workers fight like an old married couple. I even made Brenda, the sex-crazed chick, a funny character. Brenda just might make another appearance in Chapter 4...

Shriya was originally a serious person from the FDA. Someone to be scared of. But since this is an adult VN I thought, let's just make her hot and behave wildly different than expected. I'm so happy that I changed both those scenes on a whim.

Good update. The girls and the scenes are hot. I hope there will be a replay gallery in the future. ;)

To quibble, I noticed two small graphical problems in episode 3 :
> In the bar when Brooke moves her ass (right after the animation)
> During the sex scene with Brooke on top (her tongue seems to be upside down).

Thanks for pointing those out. I just fixed them both and those fixes will part of the Chapter 4 release. Her tongue wasn't upside but yes, it was in an awkward unnatural position. Moved it a little bit. The glitch in the bar doesn't show up in my working preview, but only in the final builds, so I missed it. Both easy fixes.

Thanks!

Is the end of Episode 1 the end of "Chapter 3"?
Because for me the game ends with a blonde in a parking garage and it says "The End of Episode 1".

Is this as it should be?
