Real Quickly:


No other LI will.....none. Even with the sharing girls, you are actually cheating on them until they find out/accept it. Even the ones you're cheating on (and yes, you are cheating on them) that have not discovered about each other until Ep 23....will not be happy going into the last episode.

Enough with this fucking bullshit idealogy that they are ALL happy with sharing (and thus it should be a harem), because they are not.

I expect Natasha won't care about sharing you based on how things can play out in EP 24.

I agree with you in that this game is never a harem, plus I could have sworn I saw it somewhere that the dev stated that you can be a manwhore up until a certain point... And past that point, there are consequences to fucking everyone in sight.

They all start out exclusive to the MC. And then they are exclusive to maybe 1 or 2 others as well. Its always about broaching the subject correctly or having them suggest it themselves somehow. And again, its a fantasy. Its not unreasonable given a bit more time and the perfect set of choices that the MC would be dating 4-6 of them at a time with all of them being aware of it.

I'm perfectly happy with this because it fits how I play these games, but the simple fact is that the girls in this game have consistently shown themselves as willing to hook up with the MC and any other aroused female characters that they like well enough.

I disagree about it being cheating in most cases. How many of the women in this game require a commitment to engage in sexual activities? Oh...none? So, no commitment, no cheating.

And I feel like I'm beating a dead horse at this point by bringing it up AGAIN, but this is a game and not a realistic one but a fantasy. A harem finale (if it existed) would not be the least believable thing that happened in this story, you must admit.

No bigger cliche than making a game where the point is to find the sex content and then punishing the player for succeeding.

From his patreon:

'' No, I am working on season 1 for steam (full upgrade of episodes 1-10). That's almost done and then we are gonna work on episode 25 (final episode) to close off the original game. ''

That's my biggest issue with the out of nowhere "Let's remaster it for steam" decision. It's like running 104 laps in a marathon and making the participants wait at the finish line. They very easily could have just waited for a conclusion to this story before "improving" it. I will remain a fan of the original but the rework doesn't have the same vibe for me. The test scene with Debbie wasn't as playful, they make Lilly seem way more into sex which goes against her original character etcetera. It feel a lot more "porn game" to me now when it was way more than that.

None of the devs that work/have worked on this game have ever shared it here...

Then one of his patreons would eventually leak it as it has happened so many times with so many other games or it would be leaked from steam when the game is released there.

Good thing this isn't one of those games then, isn't it?
Seriously, this isn't a porn game. It's a story-driven game that also has pornographic scenes.

:rolleyes:
Yes... Just like literally every version that appears here. That's the whole point of what I said.

Disagree. The cliche is the typical harem game, being able to shag everyone in sight and not having the LI's care about it.
Click to expand...
That's true.

But in the case of the harem cliche its sort of the natural conclusion to an unrealistic fantasy sex game where the goal is seeing all the porn content, isn't it?

If WtHI had a realistic story or realistic characters, I'd agree that a harem ending was a stretch. It has neither.

For you maybe...I don't play AVN's for the sex content, that's just a nice bonus.

It's far more realistic then 99% of the shit that's made in this genre. What's unrealistic is three women with no sharing tendancies by default (you have to make sure that happens) all wanting to fuck you (and each other)...that's pure fantasy ;)

Its story-driven. I'd even say the characters are frequently pretty well-written.

But when a fairly unremarkable MC can show up fresh somewhere and successfully hook up with 15 different girls within a couple weeks...its a porn game.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but if you aren't here FOR the sex content why aren't you playing better games?

I think the point is that even if (as you suggest) this game is more realistic than most its still a wildly irrational scenario. It does not follow the rules of our world...and I think we generally prefer it that way. Our world sucks.

And vice versa, if you're are into sex content only - why aren't you on a proper porn website?
Sex content on those websites is much more realistic.

I was responding to "I don't play AVN's for the sex content, that's just a nice bonus."

I never suggested that the sex content was the only thing I was here for.

For the record, the build up of the story/characters and the challenge of the game format are compelling to me.
