[YesOfCourse0]

So i played out the ep19 version and now im installed the ep20 and i dont find my saves. Am I have to play the game once again out or can i play somehow with my old saves?

 

[Avaron1974]

uhm short question
if you going with jolina to her bedroom at ep16,
theres the laptop open facing the bed - jolina ask specific for a boobjob(yeah right before the cam with that face)
are we going blackmailed later ?
and we know jenna can see it - any outcome on this?

The only answer I will give to this is....

jenna/joline sharing ? i dont think so(still wonder about the lesbian part)

Don't be too quick to cancel that out.

I thought you'd played this latest update because .... certain ... things happen during the apology to Jolina with the MC and Jenna.

 

[HornyyPussy]

Great update!

Love these people who waited in the car for Jenna and complained about it. That was a much better option than fucking Jenna and Jolina.
I'm still not choosing anyone I'm riding this shit out until it blows up.
View attachment 1149361

The return of DogBoy, Roger, and Natasha all in one afternoon at the coffee shop. Knockout dogboy and some extra creamer for Roger that might have been better than Jenna and Jolina.

Elaine as the culprit who sent the email was to obvious. It could've only been her or Bella without giving away who Dizzy was and that wasn't going to happen.

Yeah, the scene with Jenna/Jo was boring anyway.......
I think Elaine on the cctv tape is fake. as Boehser said, bella and jo could easily have manipulated those tapes, maybe even bella luring elaine in there to get her on the tape.

yeah - after playing again especially this part
i got :
after bella found the usb at elains pc , joline was (later)able to detect the virus/backdoor at her laptop
and even (hacked?) the cctv from other shop for that elaine footage?!
i still think the 3rd part (dizzy)is theresa (religious dominat was mentioned at a tape),
but there was a scene with lily (call her dizzy , and lily was shocked why mc would call her that)
but the mail thing is a plot from bella and joline - im sure

i like this theory

While I have to agree that with AVN's the target is an immersive adult experience, I don't see why you need sacrifice the story, humor, intrigue, etc for the sexual aspect. Without the story and emotional attachment we might as well just make digital porn with no real plot and if you make the story beholden to the sex you lose a degree of realism that is where a lot of the immersion comes from.

I'd also argue there are more than handful of incredible games out there with fans as interested in the plot as the sex. Devs like Perverteer with "Tales of the Unending Void", PhillyGames with "City of Broken Dreams" and "Depraved Awakening", Caribdis with "Once in a Lifetime", Drifty with "Leap of Faith", and Pink Cake and all the drama that is "Acting Lessons" and "Being a DIK". Just to name a few. I'd also like to think we can number among those with a plot that is worthy of the name.

getting cocky are we

but yes, in my opinion you are on that level

i did - but im not at the jenna/jolina path with the "full" play i have at the moment
(yk the lesbian thing etc)
and yes it was the first time i was in jolinas bedroom at my 4 or 5 playtroughs now

But...incest patch?

 

[HornyyPussy]

But...incest patch?

what? you mean there ISN'T an incest patch? But monica is our mother and katie/jenna our sisters..........

 

[Holy Bacchus]

There are going to be more than a few multi-girl endings. But some will require some particularly skillful choices.

Well, I'll just say this regarding a particular possible multi-girl ending; I got to the Katie decision in Ep 20 and I had to stop playing for a while. I get that Katie's possessive of the MC, and she does seem entrenched in this view of monogamy, and that one night of sharing with her best friends isn't likely to change her mind completely on the subject, but the fact that even after that, when it would seem that she enjoyed it a lot no matter how much she tries to use being drunk as an excuse, she still hasn't moved an inch and is still being so stubborn is irritating to say the least.

Maybe there's still time for her to change, but she's honestly starting to feel quite psycho right now and a bit bi-polar because she keeps insisting she's not a "possessive, jealous psycho", even if they're just FWB or Neutral, but then she threatens to cut his balls off if he does anything with someone else, which does seem like something a "possessive, jealous psycho" would do. It's also kind of weird how on both those paths she's declaring herself to be his girlfriend when you would think that wouldn't be the case since there's a separate path for that.

Katie's apparent rigid immovability on this feels like a real antithesis to the concept of adult games and it is, for me at least, starting to make her feel much less appealing as a character. I'm still holding some hope that she will change and be more comfortable sharing him with her friends, but unfortunately after this episode, I'm not holding my breath on that.

Word on the street is...there is no incest patch

This is one of the best games I ever played here so far. A lot of sexy models. Very nice graphic. The player has a lot of choices to choose one or more women. The plot is unpredictable and nice. I am really addicted to play it. Hope to play the next update soon...

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Word on the street is...there is no incest patch

And why should there be? The fact that someone even went and did that when this game was never intended to be that feels like a massive insult to the dev to have their game changed in that way.

Should we post typos here? I've found a couple ("it's" instead of "its" for example) but this one is the most eye-catching so far:
"Difficult seems like an underestimate, but that is definitely your style." - I'm pretty sure you meant "understatement"

Anyway, superb update, possibly the best one yet. I know I'm saying this every update but you're really getting better and better and such an awesome game is getting even more awesome.

Thanks man - Yeah, feel free to post any errors /typos you see here and tag Ace and I. Or send me a DM. Thanks

aaaaawwww man..........

He is joking. CellStudios is one of the developers of the game he does the renders.

As long as someone isn't monetizing our work we see it as just a modded appreciation/form of flattery. Besides it's hard to fault it too much when your lead artist seems to require that extra bit of naughtiness. lol

Nobody really changes, people can try and even show but they really don't change, removing some extreme situations, i think changing her completely from one episode to another would go against what the game is doing for 19episodes, atleast with her story.

I actually like her for the exact same reason you dislike her, yes i like "crazy/possessive" girls and that's the reason i have my main run with her. If we go with the sharing with friends path as something common we might as well add Harem

Haha! Oh, he isn't entirely joking. Cell likes dem familial relations.. uh huh.

But incest

So it's confirmed Cell is from Alabama then.

Alright, finally played through 19 and 20... Basically what I thought it would be, all sex and very little plot besides that. Was frustrating that, on my Katie playthrough, the MC can declare his love for her yet also decide not to tell anyone else even though he hasn't been with anyone else (yes, my MC has only been with Katie in that playthrough). Would be nice to be able to decide to tell Monica and everyone but just not have it happen yet.
Also frustrating that the MC then can't tell Jolina/Jenna that the reason he's not interested is because he doesn't want to cheat on Katie (I think that Jenna would understand and be rather upset with the MC if he did cheat on her sister). I am fine with working at the coffee shop, Jolina looks like she's in a real bind and needs the help. Considering the MC doesn't have a job perhaps he should help her out more often. Work toward making amends that way instead of sexually...
I understand where the "N" crazies may think that Jenna might have done something in the apartment with Jolina, not telling them what happened just fuels their overactive imaginations. Since my MC is not with Jenna I'd have no problem with the two ladies getting nasty together.
The revelation was as expected... Happened at the end as a cliffhanger with no ability to confront the person about it.
As always the renders are amazing, great work, and I look forward to more. Disappointed that it has been so long since we've seen Monica.

He is joking. CellStudios is one of the developers of the game he does the renders.

And I wasn't saying that as some sort of aggressive rebuttal, but more a general comment about the fact that there shouldn't really be one.
