VN Ren'Py Abandoned Three Rules of Life [v0.5.0] [Red Dust]

[sulimo04]

don't get me wrong , It' s a pretty decent game
but while playing it sometimes i want to tell every fucking single character to fuck off
well maybe except Ada's dad

 

[NoI'mDirtyDan]

Naomi and Ada plus all the other girls, except Mira cause she's great as a friend, can fuck off. I'm just here for Danielle.

 

[InfamousGuy]

Hmm so much angry towards these girls, yet I love them all! However, Ada supremacy is real my friends.

I may have found my new favorite game, maybe it will be for the novelty or because the others have ended up stagnating with the passing of the updates. But here the story looks really interesting and I love to speculate, make theories and forecasts, and this game offers a lot of material.
1) The mystery of the missing mother, it seems a patient is involved and something she did years before, it is really difficult to hazard a hypothesis, as a crime and horror fan I immediately think of some mafia or serial killer that she followed In a prison, could she have ended up in a witness program? Maybe he found a way to keep the rest of the family safe? Or Maybe Damon is involved. We know she had a good relationship with the MC's mother, could the woman have discovered Damon's secret and he killed her? The father is rich enough to stage her escape. But as I said maybe I'm just deviated from my literary tastes. But I find it hard not to see something macabre behind her disappearance.
2) Damon, it's easy here, Damon is Gay, he's on treatment for this reason and Dion is mad about it, I don't think Damon is in love with MC, I think he has a secret affair with Dion. Or anyway Dion is trying to help him accept himself. It would be a relief because I would have carte blanche with Danielle, I have two saves for now, because I don't want to betray my friendship with Damon, when he reveals he is Gay I will choose which one to use.
3) Naomi, ok, Naomi is back, now I have to find a way to close with all the others and win her back. I'm happy with one thing though, during the Flashbacks I always thought that she had betrayed the MC, that for this she ended up between them, but in the end it was the fault of the MC, she raised me.

 

[Archspect]

I realy love damon and mira until barmen tells that he “requested privacy” . This is very frustrating.

 

[sinister_gaze]

Here are saves for five girls separately, developing a relationship with only one of them while being nice to others and honest to our friend Damon, persistent file is also inside.

I have a feeling that Alexandra is going to end up being the MC real mom or something. Or my other theory is she could be the MC mom's lesbian lover.
Judging by the conversation in the coffee shop - Alexandra was far more interested in learning about the MC life and she was nervous to meet him; any talk about Damon seemed to throw her off - not like patient/client confidentiality, more like she didn't know much about Damon. She seemed really depressed, like she screwed up, when the MC got up to leave. Then she kissed the MC on the cheek when they were leaving and said she would see him again.

I also feel like Mira was set up to be Damon's fake girlfriend, but she maybe is starting to develop feelings for MC. Mira's conversation with her dad in their house kind of hints at that. My guess is - Mira and her dad are broke, the dad set up some kind of deal with the mayor - for Mira to act like Damon's girlfriend. The mayor is running for re-election and he can't afford a scandal, that his son is gay.
I'm also guessing that Damon was the MC mom's secret client, that was stressing her out. My theory is - the MC mom was treating Damon and through her sessions she found out that Damon is gay. Perhaps the mom was in a secret affair with Alexandra, so Damon's struggles with being in the closet were hitting close to home for her.

I'm sure a bunch of the mysteries will be answered once the MC reads the file that Danielle sent to him.

There are some holes in my theories - still don't explain why the mom disappeared. Perhaps the mom was encouraging Damon to come out, Damon told his dad he was going to tell everyone he is gay and the mayor blackmailed the mom to leave.
It doesn't explain why Alexandra would then take over as Damon's shrink. But I feel confident Alexandra is more closely tied to MC, than to Damon.

At any rate - this is a very intriguing VN. So far one of my favorites. I just hope the dev doesnt throw out some really stupid curveballs, that make me lose all interest. That has happened so many times on this site - where VN'S start off really really good and then the story just goes completely off the rails in later updates.

 

[rob7278]

This is one of those VN's where when I got to that - Thanks for playing, that's all for this version
I was like NOOOOOOO!!!!! Come on, you can't cut it off here!!!
Great job by the Dev to suck you into the story.

I am torn with this story. I want to continue to play, but I don't think I can. I have seen no where that there will be a harem or sharing path. Which tells me there is going to have to be a choice made. I have turned down a few of the girls already, but with what's going on, there is no way I could choose. I may have to stop playing. It's a great story though... I am definitely enthralled by what's been done so far. Especially the way the current version ends with a return... Which makes things even harder. I have had to stop other VNs for forcing me to choose to break someone's heart... I can't do it. I want to be there for everyone... So I may have to just say that I enjoy it, but it's perhaps not for me. Best of luck with this, I am sure it will do very well... I just don't know if I have it in me to go through those emotions.

Sounds like weak talk to me

 

[Mattee]

As someone who absolutely hates any kind of ntr crap, this game really surprised me by making me feel like somebody else is more worthy of a relationship with a girl. Well played there.

On another note, while the story is really engaging so far, I can't seem to imagine a scenario where all of this massive build-up about finding out where your mom went would pay off. All I can do is hope for the best.

Wow wow wow, I totally forgot about Alexandra. I also had the feeling that she was very interested in the MC, and looking back on the words of the MC Mother to the teacher, the mistake made years ago could really have something to do with Alexandra.
At this point, however, I also ask myself another thing, are we sure Damon was the secret patient? The attitude of the mother on the phone is that of a frightened woman, whoever is on the other side of the phone is threatening her, or at least addresses her arrogantly, in a rude way, too much to be a Damon attitude, and therefore I I ask, if the patient was the mayor? This can lead to so many ideas, the MC's mother knows some dark secrets (Is the mayor himself Gay? His being against LGBT families could be a clue) Either the MC's mother and the mayor had an affair, which resulted in the MC. Are he and Damon brothers?

Nice - more good theories!

Maybe Damon is the patient and is, in fact, gay and somehow the mayor has figured that out, the call could be from him. Thus he has somehow strong-armed the mom into leaving town possibly using her past "infidelity" thus explaining the abrupt departure and maybe that is why Alexandra feels pity or guilty towards mc and maybe that's how Damon transferred from the mom's patient to Alexandra's and hence also explains his enormous feeling of guilt. Though the Dad's disappearance is still what I find to be the weirdest out of everything, what possible reason could he have for leaving its quite obvious the hong kong trip is a lie. On another note, I feel as though that the mom sleeping with Damon is slightly absurd its quite obvious she felt guilty after her flings with Pendragon and Alexandra so why would she repeat it, but if it does turn out to be true i want a "You damn traitor" scene like in Attack on Titan!

I also think that Damon is gay. Now perhaps i'm wrong here nut there are several clues to this claim. The most recent was in a night club when he talks to Mira about "confessing something" to MC. The question is if Damon have feelings towards MC why did he introduce Mira to MC in the first place? I mean more logical aproach would be to hang out with your friend and keep him away from girls. Or that part when Damon and MC talked about Ada, why would Damon ask questions about her? There are more scenes like this. Like is he having a girlfriend just to cover up or idk. Certainly it's really complicated matter.

If Damon is gay and crushing on the MC why does he keep pushing Mira towards the MC? I don’t understand the dynamic between Damon and Mira. She has been in town for 3 weeks, has been hanging with Damon solo for 2 weeks, how did they meet? Why did it take so long for Damon to introduce Mira to the MC? How is it that Mira knows Damon’s secret but the MC has no clue about it? After such a short amount of time Mira is a more trusted person than the MC, why?

It is not so strange, often certain things are easier to say to a stranger than to your closest friend, especially something like homosexuality, you are afraid that that person you have known for a lifetime will look at you differently.
Then it must be said that in fact we do not know how he aims to have discovered Damon's possible homosexuality, he could have caught him in the act with Dion for example.
