Yes, she doesn't hit on you, i say that. But she is one of the main love interest of the game, so she is there a big deal of time and many of her lines are designed to be "neutral", meaning that they work either if MC is in a relationship with here or not. Therefore, if MC let her down, those line appera kinda out of place and cringy. And all here wardrobe malfunctions like "Oh! You can see up my skirt! Oh! My oversize boob just slip out! Oh! I just grabbed your considerably big penis by mistake.." may be very annoying if you really aren't interested in pursuing the route. Or even gross, if you literally hate Monica as a character as i do.

I'm not criticizing CheekyGimp's work as a whole. This is by far one of my favored games here, and easely one of the best in general on the platform. I admit that i personally really don't like the MILF routes, but of course there must be something for every taste in this ludic world. What i really hate is when you are forced in a MILF route as some game do. It is, of course, not the case with WTHI, which is damn well designed and allow the player a lot of freedom of choice. Yet IMHO,

Monica is somewhat of a downside. Yes, of course you have no obligation to get involved with her, as i said above, but she still often behave as you where, anyway, and, with my full honesty, in my own experience with the game, it turned to be very unpleasant and annoying.

Zarah, for istance, is a perfect exemple of a better designed MILF interaction. She has her own agenda, she tries very hard to seduce the MC and even to have him go after Monica, but when she is let down she behaves more normally.

As i said, i'm not attacking the work of CheekyGimp on any level. It's just my honest feedback on my personal take on the game.

That is pretty similar to how I feel... I mean I am not personally against the MILF thing... If it is done right it can be hot. For me it is the desperation that the MILF's give off in this game. I could get over Monica looking like Rocky Balboa if she was less thirsty... I get it, it has been a while since you have got laid but damn bitch learn that no means no... For Zarah I actually found her to be relatively attractive and it took me a long time to decide how to move forward in regards to her... but once again the desperation she gave off just put me off too much. I almost gave her a second chance at the point where she asks to see you to help out Monica with the business because she had kinda disappeared so I figured she was not so desperate after all... But then the "Karen" haircut was an instant NOPE.... So thought better of that idea.

But that is not me hating on the game... I think it is one of the better VN's that I have played... The renders are all done very well, the story is engaging and there are many attractive girls in the game ... Angel for example... named very well... She is definitely straight from heaven... Katie is still right up there in terms of looks and personality for me and even though I am not a fan of huge tits I even really like Jenna as a character even though I would normally avoid women with her particular look. (The nerd thing with a passion for cosplay kinda sealed it for me.)

I guess some people are very passionate about their waifu's and can get a little upset if you imply that they are anything but perfect... Wasn't really my intent to insult them but the characters were just a little too much for my liking.

Edit: For me personally a better thing for Monica would have been her being attracted to you but being conflicted over it... sort of a "Holy fuck he is hot, but he is so young and is my dead best friends son so I should never think of him like that" kind of thing then you have to work to seduce her and see that you are not just the child she once knew but a man with needs and desires and you had to let her see that she is what you desired... Would still have an engaging story, make you work for it a bit and be more believable than her just being a desperate horny housewife who despite being celibate for years was just ready to jump on her dead best friends sons dick as soon as he appears.

I have a fresh download and decided to check out the ep17 bj in the car scene. It has a lot of missing files, I'm guessing animations and the finale image for that. There's no mods, no saves loaded, just went straight to gallery for a "refresher".

Anyone else?

I'm getting the exact same error here for missing animations, several of them.

I don't quite know if you get what's going on around Monica. She isn't trying to fuck him when she sees him again, she's just overly affectionate.

If you play her route she is just like you wanted her to be. She doesn't spread her legs until about the 15th or 16th update. The only person that takes longer to get anything out of is Elaine and that's due to her having less time.

For someone some of you keep calling thirsty she has the longest route to get any sex out of her.

I've collected some screenshots of critical facts dealing with the will.

FYI - I used the incest patch for the game so if the text says "Mom" it is Monica and "sisters" is Katie and Jenna. I know the incest patch isn't popular among the fans here so you don't need to mention that fact, I already know.

Will

The story certainly wants us to believe that Theresa is the religious nut and possibly Dizzy (I'm not saying she is for sure so don't quote me as saying so). The person being dishonest with the player could be Elaine or someone else. Based on all the evidence it suggests that Elaine may be the person who knows everyone's will conditions. Elaine hired her own private attorney and has been very busy trying to ensure parts of the will fall to her favor. She may even be attempting to bypass parts of the will somehow with going back and forth between her private attorney and the MC's dads attorney asking lots of questions.

I'm still unsure how Bella fits into the will, if at all. We know that Elaine suspects Bella's snooping and is considering kicking her out of the house because of it.

It was also very interesting that Elaine went from being extremely rude and heartless to the MC to being all kind and wanting the MC back into her life. If I remember correctly, she even invited him to come back and live there (I couldn't find the screenshot for it quickly).

It is also interesting that it is mentioned several times that your actions affect one of the recipients more than their actions do.

In screenshot 'Will 4.jpg' the MC says that he learned the Bible from a nanny that his father hired to keep him out of his hair and that she (the nanny) was a real religious nut. Could this be Theresa and she doesn't remember him or someone else? We know for sure that Theresa is a religious nut, but is she the only one? From the story so far, she is the only one that has been clearly revealed as being a religious nut.

It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds!

NOTE: All of the above is my opinion. If you disagree then great. I don't proclaim myself to be an expert here. Have fun and enjoy!
