Can I hide it from both of them and then stay together with them? Or is this a lose them both no matter what scenario? Unless of course I only date one of them instead of both.

You can hide it this update but no you can't keep them both forever.

Sooner or later it will all come out and the more you are sleeping with the worse it will be.

I don't know how many times this has been repeated now but i'll say it for clarity's sake ... this is NOT a harem game.

I'm in the minority for this update but I have to say I'm disappointed by it. It's not a bad update, but it falls short of the quality that the previous updates had been.

One of the best things about this game from the beginning is the dialogue, but I felt that this update's dialogue is extremely dragging, on almost every character. Yes, Katie's banter has been her character's trademark, but does it really need to be like 75% of the interaction with her? The part with Francois is especially bad and cringey. Do we really need that much talk about MC-Monica relationship with Zarah? Do Angel and Wanda really need to have that much arguing?

Maybe it's just me, but the disappointing thing is that it really feels like the dialogue is super prolonged but it doesn't really do much. It's just the same thing repeated over and over with a slight difference that didn't really progress anything forward. And it's amplified because it happened on every scene in this update.

On the bright side, Katie looks marvelous with her hair down.

I haven't even been able to play the update yet. I'm getting a lot of errors on saves prior to the beta. So, I've been working on new saves for each of the girls. Then when I hit ep 9 on Katie save, I start getting errors. Bella save the errors start in ep 13 I think. The new Monica save, I'm just not feeling. Same with the other girls. So, for me, this update is a bust.

Yes to all of the above.

The banter is one of the best things about the game.

The entirety of Wanda's first appearance in the game was arguing, stands to reason it would happen when she found out a receptionist was going to be the co model.

Zarah has been trying to set things up between Monica and the MC since the start.

The game is story based and character driven. You shorten character interactions you cheapen the character. It's how a narrative is built.

You take away the dialogue, what have you got left?

A short game we'd all skip to get to sex scenes and no where near as popular as it is now.

So, yes, it's ALL needed.

Completely missing the point. I'm not saying to take away the dialogue. I'm saying to reduce the amount of it because I considered this update to be excessive with the repetitive one-dimensional dialogue. The space could've been used for more interesting variation of dialogue to further build character/relationship.

Noted previously. It's just a mislabel crashing before the end of the ep for you (since your skipping the katie content)

Really? Has Cheeky mentioned it somewhere that you can't end up with multiple ladies in the future? Otherwise I'll scrap the harem stuff from the post and the guide.

Cheeky has said nothing either way but no harem tag and many, many, many hints in game suggecting things aren't going to end well.

Katie and Jenna both kick off and dump MC if you admit to seeing them both this update. Sure you can hide it but it will come out eventually.

Katie is only willing to share with her friend, not her sister or mother, that she says multiple times.

Monica has warned the MC not to touch her daughters, she also doesn't share.

Jolina and Angel are looking for something more 1 on 1 as is Bella. Elaine I don't know anything about yet.

The only multi partner hint is for Katie, Deb and Lily. Plenty of warnings that nothing else is going to work out.

Carry on as you are, makes no difference really, just be warned for if/when it does go to shit.

If this was a harem it would make absolutely no sense to the story or the characters so unless Cheeky plans on changing everyone's personality then i'm not seeing it.

Thanks for the headsup anyway, I placed multiple warnings in the guide that future updates can/will drastically change the outcome for different relationships thus also making the walkthrough prone to change. Different lines in the coding added hidden suspicion points (Also mentioned in the guide) to certain dialog choices with the girls so there certainly will be some shit going on in the future.

But hey, like music industry puppet J.B. once said:
