I really wouldn't declare what this game is or isn't if I wasn't the dev myself. Yes, many things point at a big shitstorm coming at one point if you keep up romancing all girls, but Cheeky has actually avoided giving a definitive answer so far.

It's one thing to be this adamant, when you are actually just reiterating what a dev told you or the community, or if you just assume something, even if it seems the most rationale conclusion.

The only girls that IMO could make some sense together are

- Katie + Debbie and Lily. They all have lesbian stats, so that has to lead to somewhere.
- Angel + Wanda. Wanda will do whatever MC tells her to, Angel needs to be ok with it though.
- Monica + Zarah . Zarah is obviously ok with MC banging anything that moves, Monica just need convincing.
- Jenna + Jolina. Jenna wants to use her as a "beard" for their relationship, so maybe?

I wouldn't say to others so vehemently what are Cheeky's intentions, specially when he's been at most vague about it.

My impression is that there won't be a happy harem, as in involving all the girls together and knowing about each other's relationship with the MC. But as a player, I wouldn't throw out the possibility of playing the cards right and being able to hide the MC's relationships with other girls if they don't live under the same roof.

I do agree that it's unlikely there'll be an ending involving the 3 main LIs, but there is a decent number of episodes Cheeky plans to release, so who knows what are his plan going forward.

Got lucky played the beta when it came out, fully expecting to have to replay everything when the full release came out, but when I downloaded and opened the full version it immediately opened up to the part where the Beta ended. So I didn't have to replay anything lol.

Katie stuff was great, looks very hot with her hair down. Finally getting to bang Monica was good. Now all that's left is Elaine, feels like we're getting close to the end.

Same thoughts. Still don't like the Monica + Zarah thing though but it's not like the story (at least for now) gives us any other sensible pairing for Monica besides Zarah. Sigh. The real win for me would Monica + Elaine but unless a miracle happens in the next few chapters, that would be impossible. I shall continue dreaming.

Yes you can, just tell Katie you were talking. If you date only Jenna, I think Katie won't enter the room.

That cunt's all over the place, even if you sent her on an erotic hiking trail. I don't know what you found in that bitch Katie, fucking a slut.

From this update, Angel + Wanda doesn't sound too farfetched at all. They've made up and became friends. Wanda already even mentioned about threesome without being told what to do, and Angel had been teasing Wanda as well.

Monica + Elaine is not impossible. Clearly there's a big secret about them that we weren't told yet. And there's always a possibility of Monica being "Dizzy" and then Dizzy/Elaine's inheritance condition involving MC. Who knows.


In regards to the Harem topic in general, it's undeniable that Monica, Katie, and Jenna are against such thing right now. But it doesn't mean that they will never change their mind. It's all about the writing and how to make the chance of mind to be sensible. Maybe if your relationship stats are so high they knew that MC truly loved them all, and they simply realized that they're willing to share rather than forcing MC to choose one of them. Especially since there's already a minor "sharing" going on (Katie with Debbie/Lily, Jenna with Jolina, Monica with Zarah). So it's not super unlikely that they could extend that into actually sharing MC.

Uhh... wasn't Katie a virgin prior to our corrupting influence and practiced seduction? Like all she'd ever done was vanilla kissing..... I would assume she would still be that way if you avoid courting her. So slut seems a counter intuitive descriptor.

She certainly does have more mood variance than some other major characters, but for late teen-early 20s aged women with self-confidence issues and a bitch exterior as a defense mechanism. Human beings aren't consistently on a given mood/attitude; I find Jenna's character model very attractive, but she's always felt flat and two dimensional compared to Katie and Monica to me.

I mean her character arc is basically
1. "I'm an ugly antisocial nerd"
2. *MC manipulates J towards gradual corruption*
3. "OH WAIT! I got a tan and realized I had a 10/10 body the whole time, so I don't have any interpersonal conflict! And now I want MC to plow my ass cause I saw it on the interwebz!"

If anything Jenna is probably dirtier in practice than Katie is...

The main problem here is that MC didn't actually improve her social and interpersonal skills, he just pushed her towards being comfortable naked (but specifically with him) and made her want the D. If you do anything other than solo Jenna path for ending, you're gonna ruin that girl for good; you've made her even less self-sufficient than before you got there...


Idk, I felt like Katie's arc, including the controversial (but in my opinion not far-fetched or altogether unrealistic) revenge porn chapter, you were actually helping her to confront and hopefully resolve the obstacles in her life (again, certainly not in the most positive, healthy way, but Karma's a bitch). With Jenna you're just grooming a fucktoy.

I'll take a somewhat erratic (again, young females are rarely held up as the pinnacle of emotional stability) sensitive girl with a hard shell over stagnant conversation; you measure your progress with Jenna by how naked she gets each time she comes to see you, which is way too on the nose...

I don't think you know what a slut is.

Which reminds me of an old joke.......

What's the difference between a slut and a bitch?
A slut will sleep with anyone. A bitch will sleep with anyone but you.
