All humor aside, does this mean I have to go get the question wrong to improve my chances with Shannon?
That's the old way of thinking! If you want to get with Shannon you're going to get with Shannon. The question is the route you take to get there. There are no wrong choices in Unleashed. Unless you chose pineapple on pizza. Then you're screwed.

Really?! oh well i guess its time for a new "no pineapple on pizza" save... tbh i dont want to even think what the "werewolf lady " would do to me with that choice going forward in the story :eek:

So then choices not matter so much?

Your choices will change your experience - the scenes that you see, the conversations that you get. But this is not a system where you have to select the correct responses in order to sleep with one of the characters. Though you will generally have an opportunity to refuse sex, so in that circumstance if you want sex then there is a right/wrong answer :).

There is one character where you will have to select the right/wrong choices, but that's an exception in this game. And it's a side-character.

We all say that we want player choice to have an impact on the game, but the truth is choice in these VNs is a lie. If players truly wanted choice then rollback would be disabled on all choices and the only saves you could use would be auto-saves. That way you're stuck with your choice and it really matters. But most players would immediately quit a game that did that.

If I created a system in Unleashed where in order to sleep with Shannon you have to select no on the pineapple question, you have to say yes you're a weeb, and you have to get the jeopardy question wrong, then that is exactly what everyone would do. Those aren't choices that matter. Those are hoops you have to jump through in order to get your treat, like a trained dog.

So I'm not going to make you jump through those hoops. If you want to sleep with Shannon in this game, you're going to. The path you take to get there might vary depending on your choices, and hopefully all those paths are entertaining, but I'm not going to act like there's a possibility it won't happen.

I tend to agree. Most games with any kind of choices tend to have a clear superior to everything else choice (sometimes depending on what you want to do but still) that everyone picks.

VNs are particularly guilty of this if only becasue replaying the same VN 7 times to see all the different routes can be very tedious and boring. I don't mind rereading a book or replaying a game if I just liked it so much I want to go on even after the ending but being forced to... Well I don't have the patience of free time for that anymore.

regarding the Jeopardy question..i think answering right asserts dominance over Shannon as you lead to yumyum in the future..answering wrong lets her assert dominance..so you gonna be a dom or sub to our perfect yandere waifu? thats my take on shit..sort of like the kitchen scene where you come closer or not..you assert dominance or she does..yer gonna get to yumyum eventually but what sort of yumyum is gonna be based on your choices..
these of course..are just Old Man Rob Theories and have no basis in reality or code checking

The Labyrinth is in my top 5 fave films.

Our oldest sister used to watch it when we were todlettes.

Awesome memories.
Did the same for my younger siblings. This movie was pretty much required watching for late Gen-Xers and X-ennials. To this day all of us die laughing whenever one of us says "SMELL BAD!"

The game looks very good and is quite interesting. I like the characters and I enjoy the mysterious aura surrounding them. I'm particularly attracted to Maeve and she's the one who intrigues me the most.

About Maeve, I apologize for my ignorance regarding the subject, but do we know the reason behind the color of her eyes? She claims to be a werewolf and I guess we're supposed to take it as a joke. The game doesn't have any tags for fantasy, paranormal, or something like that, but there are many hints that could point to the game going in that direction. I find it strange that there are no comments whatsoever regarding her unusual eye color and I'm assuming her eyes are like that for a reason and not for aesthetic purposes. If her eyes are naturally of that color and not contact lenses, do the other characters perceive her also like that, or like it happens in Love and Submission, only MC sees them like that?

Edit: Also, when MC goes with Maeve to the club and gets drugged, her eyes also unnaturally change a few times, and it's not clear if MC was hallucinating or not.

Maeve's eye color is like that because she doesn't like pineapple on pizza :HideThePain:

Some people call their parents by name... so maybe that. That or creator is setting up for "scenes."
