VN Ren'Py Where It All Began [Ch. 3 Full] [Oceanlab]

[GetOutOfMyLab]

But that is part of the problem. I had never played this 'original' version. I had no idea through the first 75% of this game that they were even related. It sounded more like MC escaped a cult to be honest. You can probably blame that on the patreon censorship, but something should definitely be added in the beginning to allow the player to define the relationships to skirt those rules. Until I came to this thread and read that they were family then it all clicked. For a new player, the way the game is structured right now, it feels like you are dropped into some random stranger's high school reunion with no knowledge of even how to relate to what the MC is supposed to be feeling.

I think even without the family relationships, the game explains that MC has known all these people for a long time and were all very close. I supposed we all may interpret things differently, but that seemed very apparent to me.

A lot of time.

But there will be more depth, and less width.

I assume the relationship with the twin sister is different from the original?
I still haven't tried the new version yet.

Was fine with the sister but my only complaint was she wanted to be exclusive before going any further but i see there isn't a Harem tag and can't remember if there was one before.


When i see a Pregnancy tag and Harem i make it a goal to see if i can impregnate them all and then i play through again and pick the one i like, don't know why but i do.

As someone who enjoys the NTR stuff...I appreciate this version more...because it seems more realistic.

You don't even know when and how the "NTR" is going to happen. You praise Oceanlab for something he hasn't delivered yet.

If you are going to play this game for those reasons, you will be very disappointed.

The focus is on story, realistic characters and plot. Not on fetishes.

Well if the story/plot is that good then no i won't be disappointed.
Been a few of those where i came for the content, stayed for the story.

This is probably the only game i played where i actually liked the dad who has/had the rough asshole look but is actually caring and has your back and felt real, at least in the original.

 

[zeph19]

Not sure about this part...

Ocean is still one person and can only dedicate so much time between WiaB and SG.

Guess the /s was missing. Guy is in an ever-ongoing process of upgrading his hardware, but is only getting slower. Two patreon accounts, too. There's some smoke, but nothing's burning, yet.

Agree! I like Dylan a lot too.

Definitely didn't to me. Everyone hated the MC. The game doesn't let the player in on the vast amount of knowledge the MC has. Sure everyone must have been close at some point but things clearly went wrong. Why would anyone ever go back to that? If there had been any contextual clues that these were family, then it would have been different. Throw in the 'landlady' *wink wink* title at least. As much I thought I hated that, at least it gave the reader some idea about the sort of relationship we should be expecting between the characters.

I don't disagree...

Same here ; quite the surprise when I first met the character. I thought we were going to have the a-hole archetype but he's a great guy to have around. Even with NTR!Miru in the original, he actually talked to her and reasonned with her (hell even when taking a shit, he's supportive).
I'm sure we'll see his flaws in some backstory in the rework too but if we can support him and help him, I'm all about it.

I mean he even mentioned he was not the best father.

But all characters have some skeletons in their closet.

And, as you guys have mentioned, it is nice to finally see a father just being a nice father, even if in the past he wasn't.

Mmm if you think about it, it is almost tragic that seeing a regular, nice father is so refreshing.

Yep he already acknowledged his faults and he's already trying to make amends while keeping MC and Katie to kill each other. He's actually a good father right now.

It is tragic indeed... we've seen so much douchy dads (and mostly absent or dead dads) that a nice normal one is like a nice summer breeze to us.
I will be his wingman to whoever he wish to woo (cause he already refused Miru and he's not onefor incest from what we saw)

 

[homejorz]

What was the chapter the original game was at before they began remaking it?

 

[PCPrincipalBro]

Some awesome scenes with Miru! Hoping for a lot more on the open relationship content, I'll see you all Christmas 2023 for the next big update!

Not to mention that Ocean’s based in Germany which is heading into what is probably going to be a really difficult winter with a possible energy crisis looming. I can already foresee some development woes ahead.

 

[Scyths]

It's been such a long time since the last update, but I greatly appreciate that at least it was a long and worthwhile update.

 

[Malika1234]

Never played the old one... but his is really good!

Also, does katie bang Miru?? or any lesbian content with Miru?

"Thanks" to the physical embodiment of incompetence that is Scholz and his government! And you even cannot go French Revolution on these boys and girls. They show every day that they do not use their heads, so reenactment of the old Place de Greve won´t help.
Still, I think Ocean will get faster with experience, his new hardware and if he can push the update intervalls down to about 4 months that would be great!

 

[Lord Bradley]

I know how it happened in the original game and reading his posts, I know how he intends for it to happen now.

Mind sharing the general idea please? Will it be open relationship accepted by both parties or will there be route where Miru does stuff behind MC's back? Thanks in advance!

Regarding this update, yeah I reached many points where I thought it would end, but it kept going so props for that it was indeed beefy update after a long time. Obviously game looks visually incredible, but I wonder if such great visual details and effort is wasted if game will lack steady flow of updates and interesting routes/scenes in it. So far it has been a bit dry in terms of actual sexual stuff, it was enjoyable experience otherwise, but for people who came here to have a grand finish might be a bit disappointed.

Quick question, do you only see CG's and scenes in gallery that you have unlocked or all? Since it seems like I have all unlocked I wonder is the route linear up to this point? Or it's not like there are 2 scenes happening at choices, rather Show or Don't Show and I happen to collect all "shows".
