I sort of wished I had found this awesome game on steam after it was already completed. Imagine playing through it on there for the very first time.

I'm still going to love playing it when it's there, but the first time is always the best imo.

this here is why im not replaying it till at least the rework is done even tho I want to replay it now and I need to as I need to see Lilly's and Debbie's path 2 characters I wasnt into my first time but heard they got a great path. Only scene with them I saw was the orgy when playing Katie's path. I already forgot enough that it will feel like the first time for me

Both of their solo paths and their combined path are awesome Des....because Lily is just amazing. She has so much character development that you see her very differently by the end of the VN.

I think that's another main reason I love Natasha so much. Originally, we only ever got Katie's (very biased) opinion of her and somewhat, that is shown with her when first meet her. But my Natasha save is one of my favourites, give her the chance she a very misunderstood and quite sad character that has an amazing turnaround from your first interaction with her. I really hope Cheeky gives us an ending with her (yes, I have begged lol).

It's just a truly great VN all round really.

that's one path I never got around to playing either. I always felt there was more to her and only hated her in my saves cause Katie said I needed to basically. Always felt she have a good path if I played it. By time I was going to play it I was feeling a bit burnt out. Yeah I could of use the chapter select and skipped some but idk for some reason I don't like to use it unless I just want to see a scene but for a new save I rather start from Chapter 1 as I feel like I have a bit more control.

Heh yreah I understand, I rarely have an issue starting new saves in VN's from the start again, especially if love the story and little details.

You haven't really missed her path though, as all her scenes (if you go through with idiot Katie's plan) you see on every path regardless. So she doesn't actually have her own path, though her interactions in the cafe (both when she comes in when you're working and when she tries to blackmail you later) are different depending on whether (and how) you helped Katie. Whether Cheeky expands on that slightly or not I don't know. Then obviously, you get the karaoke scene late on where you can talk to her outside the club. So almost really a path without a path lol, if that makes any sense.

I just want that expanded, I think she a great character and if Ch25 going to be a big one to wrap stuff up, I think it would be great to have an ending (even if small) with her, given how she kind of a constant throughout the entire story and not actually the bitch she was first made out to be.

Wow. I thought I was the only one that enjoyed Natasha path. Once your lawyer shuts her little plan down, I found her path very enjoyable. She's no Debbie, Lily or Wanda, but I quite like her. :)

I did really enjoy Natasha 's comeback but personaly I liked Banging the Bible basher more.
And infront of her creepy stalker son "Dog boy" as well... Bonus.

The one thing that bugged me about this game and other games that use the same thing.
Because this is not the only dev to do it.
Is not so much the fact there are small exclusive harem groups so you get excluded from other girls.
I mean thats a pain itself but not the most annoying part.
But what is .... is the fact if you play the first tme with no prior knowladge about the game.
You don't find that part out till after you are sofar into the game.
And you have already fucked almost every one already.
So you have therefore already excluded yourself from most of them.
Basically you fuck yourself over and only find out when the girl's start telling you to fuck off.
Apart from that its a grat game.

To avoid that I decompiled the game and traced the significant variables

Played the lasted update-remake. Enjoyable. This was one of the first big VNs I played when I started playing VNs in 2021. While almost every VN has something not all that great, this one has stayed with me as being good. Writing, story, everything. Not perfect, but good.

Over the last couple years I have played a variety of VNs that started out as an original concept, then, didn't deliver over time. Sad. This one I rate higher.

WTHI has held over time. I get it. Probably could have been trimmed up and ended at chapter 20. Should have ended by now.

The remake is different. But OK for all that. Artwork looks better etc. Worth the time. In the end, is it fun? Yes.
