My position on this and EVERY game is based on 2 things, what the game tells me and what the devs tell me.

Cheeky told us 4 years ago this wasn't going to have a harem so I never played it as such but on the routes I did take there were constant warnings it was not going to end well if I had multiple partners.

The other game you are talking about sounds like Retrieving the Past, another game the dev said wouldn't have a harem and the MC woulod have to choose and another game the dev was ignored and people acted like it was sprung on them.

Same thing happened with BaR despite constant warnings.

I freely admit i'm not a fan of harems, I think they look ridiculous as fuck and make choice based game utterly pointless.

People keep bringing up WVM as doing a harem game well but it isn't much of a game. It's a pick your porn scene simulator. Choices mean nothing and all boil down to "wanna see sum, fuk yes or no". And that's fine for what it is, it is a good fuck fest novel.

Harems are great in fantasy settings.

I missed one out from games I enjoy, I also love Last Sovereign and that does a harem insanely well. The thing there is the MC is an Incubus King that needs all the sex to power up so collecting women like it's Pokemon made sense.

Sisterly Lust and Parental Love both did it great by getting everyone involved and leaving no one out but that could never work here considering half the cast hate each other.

The sad thing is, people see multiple LI's and instantly expect harem despite everything they are told.

The REALLY sad thing is despite being told for 4 years this would never have a harem it still has people complaining yet they must have grasped by now the dev isn't going to pander to them.



"The game told me not to expect a harem but because other games have plot twists I ignored it yet when it happened I gave up" .... fucking, wut?



Picture Perfect was so close to being great.

I loved the characters, I loved the build but it could have done with being a few updates longer to let things end naturally. It did feel a bit abrupt at the end.

Secret Summer is doing better.

I don't include Come Home because they never interact with each other so it's less of a harem and more a guy that gets lots of sex.

I think that Harems are only good if done in the right setting.

For instance, let's take Sisterly Lust.. one of my favorite incest and harem games. It made it tense to have the harem in their home town, and so a wonderful land where poly is king, literally was the solution. It was done so well. I just adored it.

Light of my Life, with the daughters is one that I think deserves a lot of credit. It is one that yes, it is a bit creepy because of the dead wife memories/drunken visions, etc.... but it works... plus I love the office harpies that you get to totally have sex with all of, and they are still such little biddies.....

Secret Summer is going to surpass Picture Perfect. I feel that in my bones. Picture Perfect had me just as you said, right till the end when it just.... ended way too abruptly. I am hoping for a much better ending in SS.

Come Home... yeah I see your point... I am wondering though since several of the girls have said they are ok with the MC seeing other girls, if that does not sort of set up a true harem type situation.

WVM...... yeah it is kinetic really... and it is not believable... and you really just can't fuck it up... I just wish that the adopted mom, the real mom, and the sister were all on the menu! :D

I have not been playing this one for a harem route. I have a couple of play throughs. One for a milfy ending, and one for a more age appropriate ending.

Anyway, I am looking forward to this update now!
Peace

It seems like the thread is the same as usual after every update. When all the harem fans come out of the woodwork to talk about the same shit that has been talked about for years.

They have been told for years that a harem isn't happening and the best they will get is certain groups of LI's but they still talk about the same shit after every update. It's annoying as fuck.

I just want to say that I loved the Lily date it was really romantic and cemented her as my favorite character. The gym scene was O.K, I'm not really a fan of Jenna so it was kind of meh for me but the Katie scene at the end was great. I just really hope I didn't get played by Elaine by giving her the house I'm going to be pissed if it is true.

Can you have sex with Jenna in this update? or at least have her stay in the gym while you have sex with katie? it feels like I am missing something here

Having played through episode 22 I actually feel like the harem may yet happen, considering you can "confess" to Katie about your relationship with Jenna and Monica without her breaking up with you. You can also have sex with her while Jenna is there masturbating (pretty crazy), and when you offer a threesome Jenna says that it's "too soon". All of that to say that there may yet be hope for the harem lovers amongst us (maybe the developers have had a change of hearth).

Yeah, being a man-whore i thought would end in me being buried under the beach house. But after this update i get the feeling, that maybe, just maybe i can get away with it. Don't think it will be possible to end up with every single one of them, but it wont end with you having to choose only one either (if you play your cards right)

We now know once we go through this particular update who to trust fully, who not to be with, who bails on us.
We know for sure what we got set in stone and what we gotta do in the future of this game.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

MC knows for certain who played him, who got the balls rolling, who started this whole adventure,
who is wholeheartedly abandoning herself and everything she is worth in the hands of MC and who is not.
Mc has actual glimpses of the past where certin girl speciffically put him on the spot and blackmailed
him into giving himself/his future away to her without any information, other than ”to trust her”.

Do you trust her?

I don't know Canto until Elaine explains herself I'm still going to give her a chance since I don't trust Bella at all and think she could be lying to and manipulating the MC.

True... But I understand that a Harem including EVERYBODY was NEVER an option (for story reasons).

But it seemed like different endings involving different [compositions] of women were available (since there are already some scenes involving multiple women).
Unfortunatly, we can't really know 'for sure' which [composition] of women will work or not (sometimes there are scenes involving multiple women, but then one of them suddenly wants [exclusive] relationship?!). That's the issue imo.

I would have liked each of the possible [compositions] to be made more obvious. Testing every possible [compositions] is very tedious (there are so many women).

Parental Love. It is the first and only game I deleted all traces of from my computer. Went too far, and I was immensely uncomfortable with it.

Hello and sorry if my question is out of topic but I just wanted to take the opportunity and ask since I saw you post.

I too want to erase the save files from a game that really! didn't like but cannot find where my PC stores the save games.
I ask this cause I know it's not the save folder within the game itself, since, when I Play a new version of a game I've downloaded before, there are save games from the previous version although the previous version's save files are gone.

Again, my apologies for i) asking something out of topic and ii)maybe not expressing my question correctly, English is not my native language. I 'm only asking cause my computer skills are next to nil:(:cry:

In your documents folder. Then games then the name of the game. That is where a copy of all save files go unless they have a different pathing from the game.
