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...


How many episodes are you aiming for?
Zarah is pretty lusty by nature, she's a cougar after all.

As for how many episodes, I think someone quoted Cheeky before at about 25, but we keep coming up with more ideas that if we implement will probably make that estimate pretty conservative. Well unless they run 6800 lines again like that last ep. Will just have to see.

So of course I ran into that game crash after the meeting with the lawyer because I wanted to tell the truth for a change. :D

I laughed at the photo shoot (Put your damn arm down, Wanda!"), found the Monica scene adequate and the Katie content hot. Poor Francois. Also, nice crossover with more interaction than usual. For even more crossover, Nikki was wearing the dress that Babysitter Christine got recently.

I feel that shit is about to hit the fan very, very soon, but for now I will keep playing that way, as I don't want to waste a playthrough for the gold digger / traitor that should hopefully be revealed soon. Unfortunately we don't know how many days there are left in-game until "the end of the month" for the will declaration.

However, there is a minimal hope that I get to keep at least the three main girls. With the following reasoning:
* Monica finally feels wanted and sexual again.
* Jenna came out of her shell and discovered how hot she is.
* Katie is working on her self confidence and getting better with her self-worth issues.
-> Now if we were to sit them down together there is a mini chance to convince them that they are better off with the MC in their lives, and would they deny the others the benefits that they have reaped themselves?
--> Of course that approach should ONLY work if you treated them right with VERY high relationship scores.

So many that want their cake and to eat it too. :) Keep the hope alive brothers and the odd sister! In the mean time keep ducking and dodging... I have a feeling things are gonna start getting bumpier.

Thanks for the reply. I was also wondering whether accumulating LP will automatically lead MC to sex scenes or it is possible to deny them. Basically, can I use a single playthrough with as many LP and RP for the characters I like but then branch off and use separate saves to remain faithful to one character only?

Is there a walkthrough for if you went all the way with Wanda (in Ep 5) and stayed with her before the photoshoot (in Ep 15)? I just want to know what effects the choices cause.

You can always deny dating or sex with a char before it begins, and after there are points where you can break off the relationships, change their nature sometimes (fling, romance, or by messing around and getting caught). Cheeky and co. did a great job of leaving that kinda stuff up to the player and we plan on continuing that. This is all regardless of what points you accumulate, although generally hitting on characters to generate lust points can lead into their pants (if you don't say no) and some may assume a relationship (kinda like real life, go figs lol).

As far as the single play through question. I figure your trying to have a main save you can use to go back and cut down replay time and see all the content while remaining loyal? It's not really gonna work. There is a lot of branching that happens throughout that will cause you to miss content as you go if your not seeing a girl, and some you will miss if your not seeing several of them at once. The good news is our guy Phalzyr has a mod that will help with that.

Damn, I am currently playing the game with that playthrough mode and kinda going free for all content as mode mostly suggest to. Probably need a new save for faithful one route (Katie of course)

The walkthrough on the OP (not the mod) doesn't have the extended scene with Wanda if you went all the way during EP 7. So I'm looking for one that has that.
Ah I see. You could try Phal's walkthough from our paetron (think it's a 10$ tier perk) or
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I'm actually very happy that you all thought about keep it open-ended enough for so that players don't get railroaded. In many VN's I see the MC (and players by proxy) getting forced into sleeping or cheating with a character which I find strange given the choice-heavy nature of the medium! In RPGs and VN's with romance options I tend to select flirt dialogue with most of the available characters but never commit and friendzone/reject them all haha. For some though I do an individual playthrough focusing only on that character like I'll do here atleast for Katie.

Thanks for going in-depth with your reply. This is exactly what I wanted to know and I think instead of getting that mod I'll rather replay by some skipping in between because I am enjoying the dialogue way too much. Especially the chats between Katie and MC are really good and feel very natural. Their jabs at each other are funny as hell!


Also I just realised that Jolina is Naomi Watts haha

I hear ya. Often some games use forced relationships to generate drama/excitement, but we figure we can manage that with the backstory... and giving you enough options to get yourself into trouble without our taking a hand. ;) Although I have heard tales of strange masochistic players who go through choosing none of the girls... I think they may die of blueballs before the game finishes though, but it's their choice. :D You have all been warned though!
