I get into this topic with a friend of mine from time to time, she also has a child like that. Parents seem to get real angry and trigger-twitchy for arguments on the matter, so I'll just be clear about this part-

I am not saying you don't love your children. I am saying that any parent should want the absolute best for their children, which should include considerations before even attempting to make them. The world is a hostile place.

Obviously, being a fantasy game, these topics very rarely (if ever) come up as a matter of concern, but I'd still like to think, at least for a little while, with my brain and not my penis. I know, that goes against the usual VN mantra. ;)
I wasn't trying to start an argument, or thought you insinuated anything. I just wanted to point out from my pov your comments were incredibly insensitive with how you worded it, even though I don't believe that is how you intended them.

As a father who lives every day in the situation you described after my child lost a genetic RNG roll or had a difficult birth (in spite of his mother and I being in our early 30's at the time), I wake up every day knowing I will likely toil the rest of my life and glady "piss" away anything I ever gain to see to it my child is happy and healthy after me. And while that may not be what I or others would want to sign up for, having you sum it up like that in the way you did was a bit triggering.

I disagree on the 'warnings' concept. Without spending time in this thread I saw, from the beginning there were roadblocks to multiple relationships. The only variations were the Katie clan foursome as a one off and the Jenna Jolina threesome. Other than that the story seemed very clear. It was a story of 'possibilities' and you would need to actually immerse yourself into your choice. All tied to the will. It would be the fly in the ointment. Ergo, multiple saves was the only way to get them all. Then I started reading here. Tada, a controversy that I just laugh at when I read someone complaining they were 'duped'.
I made my peace with it. No point in complaining about it anymore, that's not going to fix it, haha. The game wasn't developed for what me and plenty of other people were hoping for... and that's ok.

If what Bella saying is True then it can't be a coincidence that MC goes to Monica, since if we believe Bella then Elaine knew the conditions of others, and i believe she wouldn't actively work against the MC to make him lose his inheritance so sending him to Monica is doing exactly that and the way Bella portrays her(Cunning and ruthless) wasn't the Elaine we see in the game, And there's the issue with the lost phone, the Father's message and Elaine comin to the Beach house to talk to MC about something which Bella dismisses saying some stupid reasons. Now the only proof is the video and Jo's statement which puts Elaine in that cafe(sending the emails) and its gonna get revealed in further episodes whether she did or did not also why she did that, and as for the rest of the accusations it all hinges on Bella's words with no concrete proof and we still couldn't confront/talk to Elaine.

Also as u said maybe sending the Emails isn't a proof either way but surely they can't be both guilty. In my playthrough i could surely see Bella as wicked, scheming and evil snake rather than sweet Elaine(maybe also its cuz i am partial to MILFs :BootyTime: ) or rather any other LI's really, Bella's actions just seems "OFF" to me especially when she imitates Elaine's voice. Maybe the Dev intentionally wrote her character like that or she's just weird to my eyes only. We'll just have to wait for the reveal.

I feel like I'm alone in this, but I really didn't like this update too much. The scenes were good and everything, but I just don't want to have to play the game 7 times to get all the different endings, and lacking a harem one kinda poo poos on the game for me.

there's a thing i don't get, dunno if someone already asked about that, sorry for my laziness but there where far too many messages :D.

how is it possible that the security forbid access to the beach house to Elaine but Bella was able to knock at the door unannounced? did i miss something?

Jesus how far do I have to go back for Bella to fuck off and get the Jolina sex scene? Is there even one?
no sex scene for Jolina, even if you are in a relationship with her. Having bella in the beach house doesn't impede any sex scene as far as i got

You can literally start any episode and set the relationships exactly how you want.

I think I pieced together everything at this point.

Bella's win condition is most likely that she has to keep both ours and Elaine's from happening AND to cut ties with both as well.
Bella is directly responsible for everything that happened in this episode. Elaine tried to get a hold of us at he security gate with an envelope she had to get to us. She told the guards she lost her phone. But not even 2 days earlier, Bella had Elaine's phone when we asked for her to send pictures of Elaine to us to show Jo. So Elaine didn't lose her phone, Bella stole it. She's intentionally trying to keep you and Elaine out of contact.

Except.... unless you go to the house and see her. Which will probably negate Elaine's side of the deal. You being in the house.
In one of the "episodes" you go to a fortune teller with Monica who says she sees the sister and her blonde and a will, a key, and a house by the sea. That definitely references Bella and Jolene .

Wow, this update made it very interesting that make you have to debate how to answer certain progress and decision. It was a challenge to determine which path to choose and it impact one path to another. Also regarding to the will is also an challenge for MC's to determine what the best decision for it to choose.

Looking forward to the next update. Meanwhile, I should plan on redoing the decision to view the path/route.

Have a great day and be safe... (y)
