Dropping this one, it is a harem bait. Yes, the dev said it is not a harem game, yes, ZoeyRaven abandoned his walkthrough because of it etc. But the game still had harem vibes, since there are so many LI s. Great girls, somewhat interesting story, but considering the design, it fails badly. Ok, if it is not possible to get all of them, I understand that, but it would have been better to have groups of girls, who can be romanced simultaneously. Such a waste of good resources, it makes me really sad, have been playing it from the very beginning. :(

Yeah but see, speaking for myself I would rather NOT replay a game 12 times to get all the scenes if you know what I mean.
The dev could easily add a choice / mod to the game where you can choose to play realistically and harem mode. Has been done before many times. The simple fact that choices lock me out of scenes / girls I want just puts me off no mater how good the models are or how great the animations. When I encounter games like these I usually just download the gallery mod but that is only good to view the scenes and not to experience the story itself. Meanwhile I would like to read the story and also go harem route and not have to ignore all the writing and just watch some quick loop animations.
this is where i'm at too. unless your game is good time rock and roll hella fun gameplay, having to track dozens of different saves or replay dozens of time is just tedious after the first couple times. i WANT to see all your scenes, why make it so hard? dont you want me to see all the work and love you put into your "game"?

the start any episode kinda helps, but maybe being able to pick an LI or combo for higlighted choices? or flowchart path chooser like some of the JP vns use. or a more complex gallery? i don't know. gotta be a better way. as it is right now, enjoy the breakup simulator. =/

you know its kinda crazy she turns up once you give the house to elaine, i wonder if she does when you dont give it to her.. its almost like she tries to go there to make you lose all trust in elaine. maybe one of her conditions is to get into the beach house, or to make sure elaine doesnt get it. or something similar idk. it would be interesting to see if she turns up in playthroughs where you never had sex with her or promised her she could stay for helping you.

there is a reason we have not spoke to elaine in that whole episode, because if we did a lot more could make sense in what is happening, all we have is bellas word that she is doing wrong. maybe im jus reaching idk but its got me curious.

I promised the house to Elain but i retained the property to it, just in case. Bella showed up. She seems to be actively boicotting Elain on her run to the legacy and i start to think her own condition is to get in a committal relationship with MC or to get herself the hang of the house (or one of them). Elain get extra pissed when she sees Bella getting time with MC. I think she promised her help to both sides and she's doublecrossing both.

yeah something is definitely happening, i still think she was too forward for trying to get the MC from the start, she throws herself at him. the fact she turns up regardless of what happens in the story must mean something. I cant think of why you wouldnt of spoke to elaine since and she tries to reach out too like she wants to tell him something. if you dont get bella to help you with the computer stuff and keeping a eye on elaine and she still turns up that would be the biggest flag.

when they say one has the conditions of the others was it proven that it was elaine? did she admit to knowing it all? if not it could be bella that knows it all, she could of been the one to say to elaine to email monica at the start and then uses all of that to make you not trust her.. damn im getting into tinfoil hat territory right now

we had fun with all of them for such a long time. Now it is time to choose our ending. Just like many games where you fuck as many girls as you want and at the end you choose one to have an ending, or sometimes more than one. I have no problem with however they gonna write it. Either letting me have 2 or 3 girls around or only 1 I don't mind. I can just play the different endings to see how it goes with each girl. Or people like Kate and debby or kate and Jenna we can maybe have a threeway relationship. However they do it, it is ok to me. People has to stop being annoying.

I dont think so.I think Elaine is the wrong one not Bella. Ofc she has intentions on being commited to MC, like all girls have. All girls wants to think they are the one and only to our MC. The only one open to let mc have more than one girl so far is Deb. She was the only one who never asked him for a commitment. That doesn't mean she is boicotting anything. Elaine is the wrong one since the start. She tried to play our MC. I am glad I never promissed Elaine anything and now that I have seen her moves I will keep the house to myself, but even though she did all this shit, I will still let her live on that house with Bella. Depending on how the Dev will write this story ofc. If it won't go the way I am thinking it is going, she will be on the streets and I won't even care :D.

Smarter than the average Bear!
Haha! I was wondering if I was stretching too much with those line of jokes, but it appears quite a few people got them. Even in our QC team. :) Every time I go down one of those rabbit holes I think "the MC is too young!", but I grew up with that, a lot of our players did too, and even when I was a kid I appreciated the classics before my time. I think that is sadly going by the way side though. The new generations have too easy access to everything including remakes of often times better original film/media. Anyway though, I found an image of Ranger Smith who almost caught

first of all. Who sent the email did send from joline's caffee. Joline's already recognized Elaine as the one who went to her caffee and used the computers, she even told she had little knowledge about computers. Who found out about all this email stuff was Jenna after hacking the caffee and the email account. So it has nothing to do with Bella. Elaine kicked MC out of the house. They already talked about it and she apologized to mc. It wasn't bella's doing.
Why she was never honest to MC about the things she was really doing even after they get together? She could never trust him enough to tell him the truth? Bella only come to our MC for something else other than sex because our MC choose to use her in the first place, it was never her idea.

we know elaine sent them, we know elaine did bad in the past.. we are trying to find out the 3rd person and i dont think its too far fetched to believe it could be bella. i know jenna found out about that stuff but we did ask bella to help, or atleast some people did thats why i mentioned that part. Im not saying everything that happened in the past is bellas fault, im asking is it 100% that elaine is the one who knew the conditions of the others? if not it could be bella and she could have manipulated some things.

when we cant interact with a certain character through a episode where there is questions and then bella comes in like that no matter what happens in the game i think its good to ask questions. People that are doing playthroughs for bella will def not want to hear this though but it has to be out of her, angel and jolina.

i cant see it being jenna, katie, monica, debbie or lily so it only really leads to them 3. theresa, wanda, circus girl and zarah are the only other characters.. so unless its someone we have never met who would you think it is?

I'm sorry things were written from the start to allow people to see the most content with minimal replay. We didn't mean to lure you in with our "harem bait"... that is kinda why everything we said and the way we wrote things with occasional instances of things blowing up. It was to let people know we wanted to make this semi-realistic with meaningful choices. We did feel bad for all the manwhores though... so we paid a pro to come up with the quickstart which we have maintained so people can have a fallback if they just couldn't help themselves. I suppose that isn't enough though, just gonna have to say goodbye. Thanks for your support though. You were a supporter right...? :rolleyes:

Yeah that is it for me too. Was really nice playing when you could be nice to all the girls but the last few episodes showed it would not stay this way and honestly it is such a waste for this game. Do devs really believe people play VNs like this more than once just to get with another girl? I mean yeah there are maybe 1 or 2 games I would consider it but not long ones like this. Too much timewaste, because there are soo many games out there similar.

Really sad I liked that game and characters. But yeah have fun
