Ummm - why is the floor so sticky?
When I first worked in a movie theater it was only a couple of years after the movie Showgirls came out, and I heard horror stories from the female assistant manager who had worked at the theater when that movie came out. Apparently it was common for guys to ask for a small cups for "water" and then leave them in the cup holders full of a different fluid when the show was over... Said that had she been a vindictive person she could have murdered her high school rival and incriminated 100 different guys by leaving their DNA at the scene.

Moral of the story... Dispose of your own fluids!

could have made it harder by choosing all sci-fi games :)
do you need permission if you just name the titles like that ?
I have contacted all of those devs, but even if I hadn't, I can't imagine anyone being in oposition to me providing them with free advertising...

Grif1001 Why did you change the names in the greek mythology story? I get some devs changing brand names cause they're scared of getting sued(I would totally not, I live in canada, bring on the waste of time lawsuit because fair use bitch) but it's greek mythology. That is as public domain as it gets. Nobody can sue you for using greek mythology.

it had nothing to do with getting sued...

I did it because even though the idea of Posio(Posidon) and Rito (Triton) are taken from Greek Mythology, and Lantis(Atlantis) was first written about by the Greek philosopher Plato, the rest of the story is not from greek mythology at all. Part of it mymics the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, and a large portion of it is 100% original. For this reason I used familiar sounding places and personages but made them enough different that, hopefully, no one will confuse Minou's Story as an actual tale out of greek mythology. Although it borrows concepts from various sources, it is an original bedtime story, and I put too much time into sculpting it to have it be confused as just a borrowed tale.

Also, Minou is the screen name of one of my earliest patrons, who is also a female. It is not a Greek name at all, but is actually French. In french, Minou means cat, feline, kitten... pussy.

I do hope you enjoyed the story, esspecially since it seems to have had enough of an impact on you that you actually made a post about it.

Great update. I really enjoyed the undercover boss reveal and yet I am kind of glad that the game of cat and mouse is over. The montage sequences are great too even though they are super easy to skip by accident if you don't realize it is a montage and you hit the space bar too swiftly. So be patient as you are going though this update.

Hi, can you share some details of the changelog?

It's OK if you don't... just curious.

Peace :)
C1E2 is aprox 32 scenes.

it includes the final 2 meet/Cutes with the main LI's Joanna and Lesley
As well as meet cutes with Gail (the new Chef) and Alexis (Theater Employee) and a brief intro to Eva. (Theater Employee)

There is also an introduction to another male. I know in many games OTHER males are not liked. They are often viewed as a threat to the MC. Let me be clear that Peter is not a threat. The plan with Peter is for him to become the MC's "protégé" at the theater, his right hand man. My intention with Peter is for him to eventually be the MC of his own spin off/follow up game "UC20"

Reoccuring characters are:
Kayla
Kinley
Gretta
Jackie
Mina (meet briefly during the date with Tink, waitress)
Tasha
Erin
Mike and Mary
Poppy
(Tink is unshown but does occur in a text conversation depending on your prior game decisions)
(Sharron, Kayla and Kinley's mom, appears in a flashback)

In adition to advancing the story, this episode features an "optional" lewd scene with Jackie (3 opportunities to avoid if you aren't interested in her), and a very short, unavoidable "self-pleasing" scene with Tasha(her pleasing herself while on the phone with the MC).

There are 2 cameos in this episode. Both of which occur courtesy of their game's respective Dev's.

One involves MC reaching out to a therapist from another game whom he used to work with for PTSD recovery years before after the rescue shown in the flashback in the previous episode..

The other is the subject of the movie they(MC, and his girls) go to see as a bit of theater reconnaissance, two days before he takes over as manager.

This episode does include a dream sequence as well. A nightmare senario combining what he views to be the failures of his life (dead teammates and ruined mariage) into one unified horror. Just his subconscious messing with him, as it tends to do with all of us. This sequence does include a point and click portion similar to the Funventure Land fight scene from the prologue.

This episode does also include another flash back, this one much more peaceful and of the MC's high school days hanging out with Sharron at her grandfather's gas station where she also worked part time.

Hope that answers your question...
