why the relastionship with Monica ends ? when we choose why not tonight ?

if Monica + MonicaL + ZTemp >= 350:
Relationship with Monica + lust + how nice you were with zarah during that scene must be higher than 349 to continue relationship with her, otherwise she breaks up with you...

 

[frozenfeet]

As long as the beach house doesn't catch fire with two girls inside and I can only save one, it can end badly and I'll be okay.

Thats why I don't play that one. I saw that mentioned and avoided that game.

I'm very impressed by the effort that must go into developing a game with so many choices in it. The fact that Monica, Katie, and Jenna are all treated equally by the game is remarkable enough. But then we also have the secondary girls (Debbie, Lily, Angel, Wanda, Bella, Elaine, Zarah, and Jolina) who also each get their fair share of screentime. I would imagine that it would be easy for a game developer to have a favourite character and start to make more content for them and less for others. I've played a fair number of games where characters were unceremoniously written out (or just never again written about) because the author realized that they had spread themselves too thin. So I can only assume that the has been a lot of self restraint and careful planning going on behind the scenes in order to create this game.

Another amazing aspect of the game is that there are no forced relationships or sex scenes with anyone. This is a big one for me because there are few things that will cause me to drop a game faster than being stuck with a character I hate. It's very comforting to know that the player character is controlled by the player.

If you want to be loyal and true to your favourite character, that's a viable option. If you want to be a sleazy scumbag and seduce every available girl in the game, you can do that too. It's also possible to have a brief fling with some characters and then break it off with them later if you change your mind. If you want to play as a paranoid guy who thinks that everyone is out to get his money, you can turn everyone down and focus on grabbing as much of the inheritance as you can get. There's a ton of possibilities. I've got so many different save games that I can't keep track of them.

Anyways, I was just reminded how wonderful the freedom of choice is in this game after being given the option to just ignore the two crossover characters in the restaurant. Which I was exceptionally glad to do because I really hate Nikki.

Well I must say... No no... I HAVE to say... This is a F****NG AMAZING GAME!! I really love it!!
Great renders, great plot, good dialogues... A very interesting story... very well unsettled characters... I LIKE IT!!
I have read some posts about the future development of the game (especially one that said that CheekyGimp had planned more than twenty episodes! Amazing! That means we can enjoy the game for a few more updates!!)
Regarding this I must say two or three things...
First... No matter how the end of the game is ... The game itself is fantastic.
(I recognize myself as a fan of the "Harem Endings") And this brings me to the second point... If the Dev is as smart as I think it is, surely that will be one of the planned endings ... or at least it should be!
It is known that each player has his favorite character (it shows only by reading some posts) But there are also many, like myself, who would like to have a Harem Ending... besides others, obviously. (The first example that comes to my mind is Man of the House - another great game - that had several individual endings for each character and one Harem, separately)
Anyway... It's just my opinion.

P.S.: It's undeniable that the game is improving with each episode ... In this one ... THOSE ANIMATIONS !! ... "Holy hips movements, Batman !!"

I agree with everything you said ... Except one of them ... Why call "sleazy scumbag" who chooses to seduce all the girls he can? (Don't be unfair! We ugly people can't do it in real life ... at least let us do it in porn games! LOL)

 

[krys69]

OK question what is needed to open the last thing in Monica's gallery, and its aparently after the photo shot with her?

 

[Vainglorious]

If you want to be a sleazy scumbag and seduce every available girl in the game, you can do that too.

Not sure why us polyamorists have to be sleazy. I mean sure some people doing this could be sleazy but you could say that about someone in all of those scenarios.


EDIT: To be clear this statement was made with the opinion that persuing multiple women isn't sleazy. However the lies and deception used to persue them in this game does come of as sleazy.

I ended with 420 out of 440.

I would say your odds of a merry Christmas/Happy holiday are good. Unless you were naughty and Santa (Cheeky) has to put coal in your stocking.

I think it is kind of true for this game here, because you basically tell every girl what she wants to hear, even if it is the complete opposite of what you told another one.
Like when after your first date with Monica you tell Katie that it was fucking boring.

And of course you lie like there's no tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure there won't be a harem ending with all the main ladies, but if there was I'd sure be interested how the MC would sell it to Monica and her girls.
I mean, I would love for it to happen, but it will require some extreme mental gymnastics.

I agree the way it's presented isn't ideal. I did have a different point of view typed out but as I was typing it I decided I was wrong. I think I was projecting how I felt about the characters onto the MC and the MC isn't living up to how I would approach it from a more healthy and honest direction. It's been so long since I've started this game I can't remember how all of it's gone up to this point. (I also haven't played the newest update yet). I think what prompted my comment was the implication that the act of persuing more than one woman in itself was sleazy. In the context of the story, yeah I can see it as sleazy. I will edit my original comment.

I never expect a harem ending in any of these games. I usually don't get so emotionally attached to the characters as some do either. I just persue the ones I'm attracted to, hope the plot and dialog are interesting and if the choices I've made gives me a bad ending I may go back and playthrough focusing on a favorite.

As for mental gymnastics.....some of these writers leap through mental wormholes to arrive at unbelievable outcomes. Logic is never a guarantee in these games.

You do what you want, won't judge you. I'm just an idiot who wants that one girl. I think I'm a dying breed.

 

[Yuri L]

Just finished the first day and checked my stats but I am shocked to see Zarah Lust at 10/19 when I didn't even select any Lust options. Very confused about this since I consulted the pdf walkthrough...

We aim for 6 week intervals, so 2nd week of December hopefully.

How many episodes are you aiming for?

 

[Zoey Raven]

Just when I think there is no way Katie's writing can get any better, I get to go to dinner w her. OMG I was howling during that. Hilarious!
