VN Ren'Py Where the Heart Is [S1 v2024-09-06 BETA] [CheekyGimp]

[Benares]

As for Francois, I thought he made a great straight man (comedically speaking), but I suppose you will be happy to know I don't see him returning anymore. Four times would be jumping the shark.

Beware, umpteenth red herring, Francois is the third inheritor

New here... does it have harem and could mc knock up all npcs?

There will be no harem, probably a few groups.
As far as EP20 goes, you can knock up all NPCs, there will be consequences later in the game though

 

[Alfred the Fallen]

I just don't understand if you don't like her... why keep seeing her optional content?

I keep hoping that she will have a return to form and go back to the person she was at the start of the game. She was my favourite character in the game for a long time, so it's hard to just give up on her completely.

When the game first dropped, Katie was my favorite. Over time, she has become the one I want nothing to do with. Ep 15 was the last time I gave a shit about her.

So, I'll stick with Debbie and Wanda.

Towards the end of actual content we have to make an optional choice and choose the girl you want to live with and also a second choice.
So no harem i guess, and more you have the ability to start to reject many of th girls. I got the opportunity to get rid of LIly, Debbie and Katie the morning after the Beach House party. I also had a dialogue to break with Monica at almost the same time. and for Jenna too.
So it seems that the game starts to guide you to a single girl path by giving you more and more occasions to break up.
I was also very surprised to see how easy it was to break up and how well the girls reacted, even Katie just insulted me as usual and told me she would not cry over this. It was just like if i just flipped a switch. I was expecting drama, a big confrontation and maybe get ejected from Monica's house but no, nothing happened.
So if you keep all the girls wiil the game suddently place you in a situation where you will have to choose or will you be able to go on with that cheating game forever.
For the moment most of the girls clearly made you understand that they don't want to share, so an open harem would be a huge surprise.

Well, Cheeky has always stated that there is no harem. But, there will be at least 2 groupings of girls. Jenna + Jo, and Katie + Debbie/Lily. That's pretty much the extent of it.

If you continue the man whore path, it won't be good. Remember how you lost Katie and crew? Yeah, man whore path will end up being the 'alone' path.

 

[ProofreadingRUS]

Zahah is not that old, why would Joline call her Granny?

 

[DA22]

Jealousy would be one reason, but that would imply she knows or knows about Zarah. More likely she just does not like other women around MC with the exception of Jenna by definition, since she seems to be possibly interested in Jenna as well or even more as in MC.

We need a vomit reaction. Not sure what else to say on that. I'm not a fan of all the 'Sharing girls with anyone'. Yes, that includes with each other so....

Yes i agree, the man whore path will certainly end up badly, but what is a bit odd in that game, it's the fact that the game tend to force you that way.
For example it was very hard to get rid of Bella, quickly i made it clear that she was just a friend, but the game tried many time to force me into her. I guess it's just game design that cannot take in account every decision you make, it would be a nightmare to handle for the dev!
The game is setup for everyone and many scenes seem weird if you reject someone soon.
For example in my second playtrough i quite quickly said to Katie that she was just a friend, but at the beach scene everything went on as she was my girlfriend, she got jalous, fight with Debbie and so on.
So i guess it's only towards chapter 18-20 that you seem to have to make your choices or you skip a lot of content and end up with weird situations.

So if i can end the story with Jenna and Jolina i would be in paradise, i get a hard on just thinking of it!!! , but it certainly will not be easy to explain this to Monica or the game will just make it easy, i already tried to break up with Monica and the game just told me OK "she took it easy, no drama" !!!
If it ends up like this, with all the girls i promised to be the perfect boyfriend just change their mind in a second without problems, i would be quite lame, what's the point of all those love stories, are all those girls just as rotten as the MC and have no real feelings??

 

[Max Sin]

Love it. Hope for more Harem/Poly relations

 

[Canto Forte]

Just hold on to the banter babe .. she be bringing in some others to play.

The thing with Katie is she adores the MC. Not as much as Jenna though. Despite the fact that if you reject either of them and words that they say after, their feelings for the MC will always come through.

Bella is a different story. IF what she says is true, she's been attracted to the MC for years. As for Mon, I don't know. I was never attracted to her, so, I don't know what to say about her. My main saves are just for Wanda and Debbie. I still have my first save which was with Katie. Until at the end of ep 15, he writing changed and I saved it for the last time.

Debbie has even changed since the original. As she was never a lesbian. She was a 'Lily-bian'. But, the writing for her changed also. But, not as bad as the Katie writing.

I play an all girl save for the beta testing and separate saves for all the girls solo to make sure the paths are working properly. But, everything that I say, is my personal opinion and has no bearing on what others say about the game. Or what the devs say. Everyone has their opinions. I've been playing since early single digit eps of the game and for me, the writing has changed drastically for some of the chars and not to my liking for the most part.

Anyway, just my 2cents.

 

[MrFriendly]

Yeah, I previously said that the game spends too much time asking the player if they are sure they want to skip being with a love interest. I can see why some people are confused about the game not being a harem game, in that the game keeps asking you if you want to fuck each woman, no matter how many times you rejected them before. And the women get really upset even if the MC hasn't been with them at all.

It would be nice if the game disabled the routes when it actually tells you. There are moments where it says that you won't pursue a relationship but then we end up once again having to reject the women an update or two later.

Anyway, I am hopeful that when the game is completed they will polish it and remove some of the checks.

hopefully that jolina bitch finally got the message.

 

[MrFriendly]

Yeah, Jolina is a personal pet peeve. The fact that you are required to go on the date with her to further the plot frustrates me as there's no reason the MC couldn't just meet her in a non-intimate setting to ask about the computers. That requirement is why I think she is either the third gold digger OR has ties to the third gold digger (Bella). No other "side" love interest is a requirement which results in a game over screen if you refuse to date them.

 

[Kukipett]

That's just because the game can't handle all different possibilities with so many girls, it would be a nightmare to code, so the game assume you are still in relation but also gives you the possibility to say no again.
That also bugged me more than once, but i understand the difficulty to handle this by the dev.
This is one of those games that gives you a lot of choices but that is forced to limit them so the dev doesn't end up in a sanitarium!!

 

[GUPTAJI]

walkthrough for ep19 please

shooting her down on the phone was the best part of the episode, especially because that apartment scene is ridiculous. her pity play and her nonsense "punishment" of jenna by tee-hee kissing mc (what?) was bizarre even by porn logic. her and bella being crammed down the player's throat all game and the gypsy's fortune telling basically cinch it. the gypsy even mentions the beach house key under the rock, and bella wants that beach house, and what a coincidence her and her girlfriend are broke, homeless or soon to be, and seemingly without means (except what's between their legs). hey bitches, when i say i want the money to go to the dogs i'm not talking about you two.

So in you post and in some other i have seem many time a reference of Jolina and Bella beeing girlfriends and in my two playthrough i never saw any clue about this, maybe because i have rejected Bella from the start or i did not pay attention too much to Jolina.
Can you get me some clue about this?
