VN Ren'Py Where the Heart Is [S1 Rev1] [CheekyGimp]

[LionHeart 95]

IF I remember correctly, Jo is the one that provided the CCTV and Jo was the one that said it was Elaine that did the computer (I.e. email). Now IF JO was the Gold digger/other mistress then this is the perfect way to launch suspicion away from her and onto Elaine. Elaine may have only been in for coffee and Jo was busy sending the email. The perfect cover and Elaine would have had no idea it was Jo but, Jo was likely aware of her. Just a thought.

I agree: that she could be hiding she is the other GD and could just be a cover to give the footage. but I get the sense that she is a good person. I am beginning to think its Elaine that is the true viper. especially when she goes off on MC if you choose to confront her with the info. so they have really spun the mind with this last update. and when asking the Fortune teller he does have an option to "ask about the Gold digger" she responds the "About the viper" no mention that it is the one we don't know of it can be Elaine she is referring to.

On a fun note: just think the son has most likely given the D to both of his dads girls. the heart lies within thyself.

I did my first run, the one as a horny dog for which I think gives ver seen the bulk of the content, and I am definitely satisfied despite the absence of my favorite girl.

I also think that only as a horny dog can fully enjoy the movie night ... scary, but very very funny, it was done a really great job. definitely the unforgettable moment of the chapter

glad to have found again the strange couple Wanda & Angel, nice their moment with the presentation of Porsche (which I think it is difficult that we will not see again). "Aesthetically, the sex scene with Angel was pretty ugly, one of the least successful in the game.

on the other hand, dealing with Theresa and her son (our half-brother!??) is always devilishly fun, she also joins the list of women who will pass through our beach house.

the only dissatisfaction is related to the fact that the issue of the email was left hanging, since it was the closing twist of the last episode I was expecting it to be developed or even closed, instead everything is postponed for reasons that are not very clear (especially if Mc is in a relationship with Elaine... how can he let it go? there should have been a confrontation, instead even if searched for it leads to nothing)

p.s. Lily is okay, isn't she? Don't make me worry.

I really like Jolina, she's the one I like the most in the game by far, she's an amazing person, I'm sure she's innocent and doesn't want to take away anyone's inheritance, just put the pieces together and you'll see that the real manipulator and fake it's Elaine, all the clues point to her, just look at the historic and read between the lines

Jen for the win! Wants to make babies, is gonna help me nail her sis and just a fun bff.

Debbie is also amazing for the same reasons, but Jenna wins in terms of natural...attributes.

OH my! Does the Cheeky Gimp Like indicate I am near the mark. I am nearly giddy.

A question maybe I missed it before my current play through during the Jenna/Jo punishment scene Jo seems to want to tell the Mc something (twice) but is timely interrupted. did anyone else feel as that was the case. could she know more? is she the GD the info in game does seem to hint Donald been cheating for a long time. so it may limit the GD pool quite a bit.

As for the new update my only shocking revelation was how quickly Elaine went from sweet to evil in .01 second and kicked out Mc. all the while lying that she never was there "internet cafe" its a coffee shop so hard to say she was lying.

More story but even more mystery.

It might well still be. I think that the idea that MC is actually the son of Dizzy might be another red herring. The problem with a long serialization is that a lot of fan theories get out and some of them are correct. So the authors tend to try to mix the things up if they feel they have been too obvious in their clues. Now, i'm not saying this has to be the case with Cheeky, but it might well be. I don't remember, but who is who brings out that Dizzy is a religious nutjob? Was it Bella again? If so there might be a path here.

We have something new to speculate about though. If there is any blood connection between MC and Dizzy and the game has no incest content, she can't be any woman MC can bang. But if i recall correctly, it was made clear that Dizzy is someone the MC knows and who is lieing to him. Now, i think in this game you have the possibility to bang just any female character in the game. I can't think of any that cant be banged, apart form the library lady, which is out of age limits to be either Donald's mistress of MC mother. So, my guess stands. Dizzy as MC biological mother must be a red herring.

 

[blubberina]

This has happened to me to, is it something that only occurs if chose the start with any episode option?

I have tried to debug myself by correcting some typos for the Jenna_Will and Monica_Will variables (sometimes written with a small "w") and was able to see the movie night part but nothing really happened and at some point it jumped back to the Bella fun scene. So after an hour or so I gave up and just hope the gallery mod will sometime, somehow updated by someone

 

[Shurhand]

Hello Guys,

Does anyone have EP.20 save? Search option doesn't seem to work...

Thank you!

Hello Guys,

Does anyone have EP.20 save? Search option doesn't seem to work...

Thank you!

The game lets you start at any chapter/episode.

in life when you have a doubt it's not that every piece of information you gather is strictly inherent to that doubt of yours, every character has their own story and secrets, it's us who have a nail in our coffin and that's why we try to relate every piece of information we find to a clue to find out who the third heiress is.

Angel tells us that she had an affair with a rich but busy man, and we think of Donald. Lily tells us that she was called Dizzy at school and we connect that to the recording of the will.

Bella may well have been truthfully reporting what she gleaned from Elaine and the investigators she approached, but it's not certain that the investigators found the right track

 

[ImperialD]

you truly are a cheekygimp
i fucking love this game more and more ....... the ending of this update made me go
but i do have an idea of who the 3rd party in the will is ...... not gonna say who i think it is ..... but only one truly acting dizzy female in this ,, and we know that she truly is not as she let's on to be
the fortune teller helped me alot with who i thought it was and now i'm sure i know who it is

so i give this game
wish i could help with support ... but my retirement isn't enough ... sorry

 

[ItsNotMeToo]

I haven't played since episode 18 since I wanted to build up the story a bit before diving back, and also because my perfect harem currently has everyone intact, and if i don't advance the story then it doesn't fall apart!

 

[Machete]

in life when you have a doubt it's not that every piece of information you gather is strictly inherent to that doubt of yours,

Indeed, i totally agree. Yet what we are playing here is an Agatha Christie kind of mystery story, where clues and red herrings are seeded all across the plot for the "reader" to try to solve the mystery along.
I think Cheeky is doing that and he's doing that quite well. Then yes, piece of information like Angel having a rich jerk ex or Bella providing rumors that might be intentionally false can be unrelated to the "find Dizzy" plot, yet, in the economy of the story they are there to make the "reader" consider whether either of the characters might be up to something. And if one of such clues is intentionally misleading, you have a so called red herring, which is a lecit part of the deal.

 

[OnlyNeverNow]

I’m just replaying through the game and I’m remembering how totally jarring

Spoiler: Katie’s first time

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

So, is there some way to avoid having sex with Katie at that specific point? Like having less points with her or is it some choice I made that I didn’t realize?

 

[SevenDeadlies]

Where is the linux version? I don't wanna use wine to play this

Previous versions had the Windows and Linux versions together... Something changed? I also do not want to use wine...

certainly the developers play with this anxiety of ours. but also to give a backstory to the various characters.

the fact that almost all LIs come from unhappy relationships is important regardless of Donald, MC is the one who can erase that bad memory, and this is needed in the story. but in general everything that the Lis tell us is useful regardless of the hunt for the missing heir

I don't agree that it should be so important for players to find out who the third heir is, on the one hand we have already given up the inheritance if we pursue the 3 main LIs of the game, on the other hand it is money that MC will spend when the game is finished...

this is my personal feeling: I don't think that from the point of view of that inheritance there is a game over, Elaine has already promised that in some way she will give MC a part of the inheritance, and if the third heir is one of the LIs also in that case it is easy that Mc will receive something

 

[Efe Can]

Ep.20 save file plz ??

Oh, sure, it's just side fun out of curiosity. It's not like finding who Dizzy is will change our lives. Yet my guess is we'll find out by the end of the game anyway as a payoff.

 

[felicemastronzo]

I made two more runs.

I'm surprised, but also very happy that we can finally (actually it's not strictly our choice) make Katie official to the whole family, and at the same time I'm sorry that for Monica it's still not possible, everything is fine, but getting caught in the act I don't know if it will be better.

the developers however are really cruel to allow us even now to dodge the big scandal, giving us the illusion that we'll get out alive

 

[MrFriendly]

Update is remarkably short if you aren't a two timing douchenozzle... Not that I'd know.

Everything was fantastic, liked that the relationship with Katie or Jenna comes out during movie night. Can't wait to see the fireworks when it comes out that the MC is banging Monica. The Wanda and Angel content was nice, not into those ladies but I had to play it for "research purposes".

Wish the MC had some morning fun times with Elaine but Bella was a nice "filler".

Anyway, looked great, can't wait for more.
