VN Ren'Py Where the Heart Is [S1 Rev1] [CheekyGimp]

[felicemastronzo]

after my first run (to see a bit of everything, it was a run with very questionable morality ...)

fully promoted game, I had already said it when I was halfway through, it often gave me the impression that it could fall into nonsense clichés and dramas but it has always solved the "mysteries" and situations in a plausible and pleasant way.

I almost never managed to play more than one chapter a day, a really "dense" game (in a positive sense)

I see the value of writing in how it made deserving characters who at the beginning had really interested me very little, such as Zarah with a very questionable behavior, who initially seems to exploit Monica's weakness, while slowly the portrait of a former huntress comes out, she has to deal with the fact that she is now just an easy prey, or Elaine who has to make up for everything she did before the game started.

even Bella, who I still believe is Satan and that in the end we will have to cut off her head and burn her body on a full moon night, is still an interesting character in her interactions, sexual and otherwise.

the only character I keep having problems with is Jenna, she makes me really uncomfortable, we have created a monster, now she is completely unbridled, without fear and without remorse ... I'm too old for her ...



now I still have to elaborate a bit and then I will bore you with some unsolicited reflection / hypothesis

I like you felice so for once around here, I'll be nice and polite and helpful. Extract Ep19 as normal, ignore the error (take not of image title).

Take image out of your old game folder....paste it into the Ep19 corresponding game/images folder. Done. Enjoy, play, be happy. If you already played past Ep14...then don't even bother doing that as it's unimportant anyway now.

I wouldn't be polite with HappyButAsshole, you never know how he would treat you afterward, he's an asshole by (his) choice

(sorry felicemastronzo, everytime i read one of your post i start laughin because of your nick)

I played a little bit in every direction in the last chapter, with particular attention to team building activities at the beach house.

and I noticed something that I don't understand perfectly. I put everything under spoilers to avoid revealing anything



if MC is in a serious relationship with Lily he can leave after confessing his love
he can do the same if he's related to Debbie.
but if he is related to both of them he can only declare himself to Lily, whereas previously Debbie practically declares herself towards him. why don't you love Debbie ??!?

then again about Debbie, if we don't waste time with Bella and Elaine we might save the economic damage for the bottles but we lose a lot of dialogue with the girls (in theory, more time with them corresponds to fewer statements) and above all Debbie does not declare that she she is in love with 2 people ... maybe in this case I have given the explanation, and it is "in vino veritas", only half drunk the girls have the courage to say certain things or not

another oddity that I do not know if it is casual or linked to the future plot: if we are "engaged" with Lily and we do not encourage the two girls, when in the threesome we have sex with Lily we are forced to stuff her, without the usual choice for control of births ... I am ready to take my responsibilities in the case



I'm not a fan of crowds, but overall I liked the scene a lot, for the sex and for the dialogues that really try to contemplate the different possibilities.

maybe it's all a bit too consoling towards the player / MC, for example Debbie should get mad if we spoil the declaration towards Lily, and I'm not referring to any lost RP, that is a bastard that deserves punishment

Now it might seem like I'm obsessed with Debbie ... don't tell that to Lily

Nothing wrong with being obsessed with Lily and Debbie. Two best girls in the game other than Wanda.

I would have sued my parents and paid a visit to the general register office as soon as i was of legal age.
Ok your surname sucks, there's nothing you can do about it. But choosing the worst possible name to pair it should be illegal.
unfortunately there's plenty of sadist parents here in Italy, as you know

my rating has changed a bit compared to that made in the middle of the game.

Debbie has earned a lot of points, initially I considered her a "side dish" to Lily, but she deserves a lot. but Lily probably retains the top.

Monica, on the other hand, has lost points, her reactions to possible problems are too cold, practically if MC leaves her her reaction is basically always "better this way".

Katie, however intrusive and jealous (rightly or wrongly) is the one most linked to the MC, she is the main LI in my opinion, in terms of importance. she is the first one to whom MC talks about the will and its conditions, and she is the one who reassures him the most in that.

I felt so guilty with Jolina for how Jenna stalked her, that she earned points too, a kind of guilt path against me ...

Wanda could be one of the funniest paths, who knows if she will be accompanied by Angel or will it be a solo trip. by far the best investment, very rich and submissive ...

man i can't get enough of katie, from all the games i played here she has to be my favourite character ever, well done to the dev amazing job

You're lucky you care only about Katie, I can't get enough of almost everyone. At least I loathed Wanda, but it was before this update. Damned devs.

I'm not a fan of harem endings but i feel i need one for this game only to be able to pursue every girl without much hassle. I know it won't be done and it's also impossible without a lot of characters going wayyy out of character for it to happen, and the amazing writing would be thrown out of the window

Fortunately the saves don't take too much space, otherwise i would have needed an external HDD only for them.

since I have only made compliments to this game for now I make an official complaint: it is too easy to get away from situations in which you would normally be discovered 99 times out of 100 not to be under the illusion that it is possible to do it until the end of the game.

this is really cruel ... SHAME !!!!

It seems it's too easy to get away, they are simply plotting for the nuclear revenge, it takes time. simply biting off your dick it's not enough.
Dont' forget that there is the suspicion stat. For instance the massage scene with Katie and Jenna raised a lot of suspicion IMHO, just too lazy to check the stats.

when Monica suddenly walks into the room where you are "auditioning" Wanda?

When does that cheap girl Mabel decide to tell Monica where she saw you and with whom?

when does Zarah decide it's a good idea to be found half naked with you in her bed?

When Lily finds that damn Bella's underwear in the bathroom?

many small heart attacks do more damage than a well done heart attack

what a funny way to spell "Katie"

 

[felicemastronzo]

it seems to me that Lily is talking about it ....

 

[Abhai]

in my game it was Katie who bumped into it accidentally...yet due to large amounts of booze&action later I might have some delusions here(anyway the real point is/was - Katie is the main chick here )

that's for sure, it seems to me really evident in the development of the story.

the amount of "sentimental" dialogue she has is enormous compared to the other characters.

I like her more than the first impression (the game of insults is fun the first 3-4 times ... then in short) but she is not yet on my podium

in the end jealousy is still a comfortable feeling (unless one barks onanistic intentions)

So... about the 3rd will participant, the game drops pretty big hints the past couple of episodes that it is Bella although it could be a red herring. After all, given the MC's father it makes sense.

For those that tried different things throughout the game (thus saw different dialogue) do you think so? Are there more hints about that person?

Not really. What hints do you think those are? Seeing/hearing what you want. There are hints everywhere that point to multiple people. And if you go off the final hint from Gregg, then it ain't Bella, it's Jenna or Jolina and/or if not them, they got the mystery person the information (which is just as bad).

However, as ace has pointed out, depending on who it is...double the cash for the sexy babe of your dreams you're already infactuated with. Who cares as long as said person isn't actively working against you. I'd personally ignore anything daddy dearest said about them as don't trust a word out of his mouth, dead or alive.

I don't know if Bella is Donald's gold digger, but she sure is MC's

his every action pushes him to isolate him from Monica and her family, from Elaine and does everything to bind him to her (and not in a particularly romantic way)

the clues are all intentionally interpretable in several ways, the actions are not, those are worth more.

and I agree with Maviarab , that of all, we can't believe what Donald tells us directly or not,
although I believe it would be important what the father's goal was with his will and conditions, I don't think it was simply to control them again, but I believe he wanted to direct them towards a specific situation (for example, to convince the son of the unreliability of human relationships and that in the end only money counts)

p.s. who is Gregg? the lawyer?
