Ren'Py Three and One: The Cursed Mansion [v0.252 Public] [Man from icecream van]

[MiltonPowers]

And I agree overall that gameplay is completely unintuitive. Developer doesn't currently inform players what scenes they can expect in an update, thus you have competely no idea if you unlocked all scenes or not.

A gallery has been added in the last update that can help find if you've missed scenes.

(I can't remember if that was in 0.21 or in 0.22 which isn't public yet).

There are no stats to track, and you re left wondering if you ll stumble into an NTR/NTS trap. There s no clear direction at all. For example, take Zoe and that bizarre cleaning service. In my gameplay, Zoe has 0 (ZERO) corruption points, yet she allows herself to be groped by a creepy old police officer in his spooky crib. How does this make sense? Why does she just endure it? Meanwhile, Bianca speaks up when someone tries to grope her, and I, as the player, get a choice in her situation. Why isn t there a choice for Zoe? Either every girl should have the option to opt out of spicy situations, or none of them should. The inconsistency is just... strange

I'm pretty sure that if you try to follow a "zero corruption path", you will stumble into the ntr/nts trap since, like the developer said various time: «We will not be able to keep all the characters always safe.». Moreover this isn't a game in which every girl are secretly in love with the mc. On the contrary this is a game in which every girl has an attitude, a morality, a past and in that past the relationship among the girls and Mark weren't really good; for example Mark called Zoe "Teletubby" and Zoes asked to some of her friends to beat up Mark. Try to play this game without take into account these aspects, means don't understand the setting and the psycology of the characters. None of the girls is a "pure soul" and it is pretty clear (if you read the dialogues) that they are still virgins more because they haven't found the right guy, than because they are some sort of saints. For example Zoes spent her life hanging out with every sort of crooks and she was pretty clear about her morality: in order to escape from that coursed town, she is willing to do things she would never do at home; also prostitute herself. Instead Bianca is pretty clear about how she see herself: she is the highest prize in the town, so she will dump every guy, who isn't able to give her something enough valuable to deserve her like reward.
Long story short I fear you aren't playing this game according to how it was conceived by the developer, but according to your desires.

Bianca is a virgin, she's already said she was. (Unless she's lying, but the way she said it, I don't think so). We don't know for sure about the 2, but if I had to guess I would say Tori is not a virgin, and I don't think Zoe is either.

 

[Idontplay]

I have had the idea that all three of them are virgin, but it is more an interpretation of the dialogues, than a fact; except for Bianca.

You could be right. I'm only interpreting dialogue and actions that Tori is not (just a feeling). Same with Zoe, there's some stuff in 0.22 makes me think that too.

Huh?

Thoughts:
Something new is coming. In the next releases (after v0.23) a new type of content will be added — expanded scenes (some of the content from the RAW packs will be moved into the game), with additional animations and extra branches inside the scenes (you’ll be able to choose how the action unfolds through dialogues or menus).
I haven’t yet decided whether scenes where the MC is not involved will also receive such expansions. Possibly after the next release I’ll run a poll on this — and we’ll decide based on the results.
These expanded scenes will be a temporary Patreon exclusive — older scenes will eventually make their way into the public version.

Storyline progress:
We’re approaching an important point in the game. Right now it’s the weekend, and after it ends, it won’t be possible anymore for Tori, Zoe, and Bianca to switch jobs around (e.g., Tori cleaning one day, Zoe the next, then Bianca).
Professions will become locked to specific girls. For example: Bianca will only handle cleaning, Zoe will only work at the bar, and Tori will be the mayor’s secretary.
However, the game won’t predetermine who gets which role — it will depend entirely on the player’s choices and the sequence of events. This means more work for me (since I’ll need to make scenes for each girl in each role), but it will be much more interesting than the current “job shuffle.”

It also means: if in your playthrough Tori is the one working in the bar and she unlocks a new scene there on Saturday, then the alternative bar scenes for Zoe and Bianca will remain unused. Possibly in the Patreon version of the game I’ll add an unlocker that will allow you to view those parallel scenes alongside the first one.

Another point:
I’m planning a parallel project. It won’t compete with the main title in terms of development time, since I’ll be releasing the second title irregularly.
The obvious question: why even start a second title? Wouldn’t it be better to put all my time into the main game?
There’s no simple answer. In creative work, it’s critically important to avoid burnout. That’s why I won’t throw all the fuel into the Three and One fire.
Besides, what I have in mind for the second title will be much simpler to develop, and it will release not on a set schedule, but whenever enough material has been gathered.

Stay tuned — the release is coming soon! And thank you for your support!

P.S. The picture doesn’t mean anything in particular (…or does it? )

Waiting for the death countdown of this game, as I really enjoyed playing it.

 

[Svoben]

Serious question: has anybody ever seen a dev start an additional side project "to avoid creative burnout" who did not, in fact, later burn out, and eventually completed both the main game and the side-project game? Can't think of one off the top of my head.

 

[Idontplay]

I suppose we are going to see Bianca sells herself to the Mayor, in order to obtain that "woman passport"; I don't remember what is the name of that certificate.

 

[*Lonely*]

Are there any NTR scenes? I only like that...

 

[Idontplay]

Yes and not: if you want you can build a love affair with the girls and see them have sex with other men, but you have to built that relationship.

Changelog:

v0.22 Public
