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

[HornyyPussy]

For 23 episodes I absolutely loved this game. The story and character development were great. I marked it as a favourite.
Then came episode 24 when you started to have to permanently end relationships and it all fell apart. I know the Dev has said many times that this is not a harem ending game. But the choices you are forced to make with the main family would result in all members being incredibly unhappy and ripping the family apart. I know it’s a game. But when you have played it for years and developed a bond with. You don’t want to be forced to hurt them.
I know the Dev said it’s not a harem. But I can’t play this any more. It took all the enjoyment out of it.
Very sad

So you've made decisions clashing with what the dev has said about a harem and now you're upset when they come to fruition? Makes sense.........

I've been waiting on this since the game first started. A fuckboy is a fuckboy. No matter what you tell them, they can't help themselves.

THAT'S the kind of shit that happens when people don't listen. Yeah. I know. It's not about a disease. But it kind of is.

In the manwhore route yes you lose the family, but you are loaded and can shag a bi bimbo and two redhead sisters. wonder how that route will go

Well, I am with you there.

I saw this coming and I simply stopped playing, waiting for the Completed.

Then I will replay this, but with only ONE girl. The others will be treated as if they killed my dog. No matter who they are, how hot they seem. I'll treat them all the worst possible way the Dev allows me.

I'll finish the game, delete it and all the saves, block it and put it on ignore.

Yeah, I'm being unreasonable. Fuck it. The amount of heartache I had to go through with this game justifies it for me.

This game is the reason I only play Harem games now. Or, play these stupid "One Only" stories only once. Fuck that nonsense of choosing.



Peace

When players say a game gave them heartache, the developers take that as a pretty big compliment.

Exactly. So all those that think I am insulting the game, should learn to read.

Shame on you for causing such reactions in extremely impressionable minds! Remember, bro. You have to coddle and nourish those types of minds.

How can they? They have been trained to have only 2 feelings, love or hate. They can't go out of their binary view of the world. They can't possibly comprehend that it is possible to love to hate, to hate to love, to love what we hate, to hate what we love and so many other iterations. Simple people, have simple feelings. I can't help them.

To be clear, for those on the balcony, I adore this game, my fury comes from exactly how much I love it. How much I allowed myself to be involved with the characters. Yes, I am FURIOUS. I truly am. Because I love them all and I can't have them all.

This is what good games do. Doesn't mean that it is comfortable. Doesn't mean that it has to be comfortable. I have complex feelings about this game. I will do what I said. Because of what I feel. Because of what the Dev made me feel.

So, breathe, relax, I am not HATING the game. I am hating the choices, more specifically, I am hating to have to choose.

Peace

Perfectly explained. I love seeing people hate on and cry about the game. As I've said: "Been waiting for all the reactions" and now, I'm enjoying myself immensely. But with that said, you blew my expectations out of the water and twisted them. You love and hate, cry and laugh. So perfect. Kudos to you, brother. Seriously.

Respect

Was going to say pretty much the same thing, and I read your initial comment too. But since you said it so perfectly, there's really no need for me to basically repeat what you said in this post. But I will tell you this, though. I hadn't played it in a while, and I was under the (wrong) assumption, that it in fact, WAS a harem game, and played it as such. So imagine my shock and surprise when the choice about Angel/Wanda popped up, and I refused to go spend the day with them on the boat just as a test, and even more so, now, having to make most of my chosen ones hate me, despite having a good relationship with them, up until THIS point now. Fuck my life, am I right?

And from that perspective, I agree with you that harem/incest games are better, but even in those, it can be a problem too, just from having too many women you're "dating". But I'm gonna take a cue from you, play it from the beginning, and put all my eggs in ONE basket in that playthrough. But, and I gotta say this too, the dev could at least make the break-ups in a nicer way, where the MC apologizes for choosing someone over the other, and them not going psycho towards him over it, but rather accepting the fact that he did choose so and so person, and move on. And like you said, I hate having to choose one over the other, and I didn't even know without a doubt, that it wasn't a harem game, so at least there's that, although it doesn't comfort me much RIGHT NOW.

 

[Joshy92]

More harem talk
Jeez am I going to have to bring my incredible simping skills into this thread more
To get things back on track?

there is no choice between Wanda and Angel....


today you only have to choose between Katie&Jenna and Monica, and between Bella and Elaine

probably in the last chapter a real choice will have to be made but for now this is

 

[Deleted member 6168082]

Got to chuckle every time the harem thing cones up.

BUT in this scenario you are kind of responsible for the happiness and well being of ALL of then.

Why would anyone want that king of drama?

"cones up" up indeed. *Comes*

"ALL of then" yup, then. *Them*

"King of drama" Not my king. "Kind"

You should really re-read what you type before you post it.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahaaaaa.....how old are you? Yeah right....because all break ups are and nice and flowery and full of unicorns and rainbows and sparkly glitter when you're caught balls deep in other women? JFC....

I never said there was a choice between the two, and if anything, that choice is even worse, because as soon as you say you don't wanna go, Angel says that we're done forever. So, you tell me, how can you continue a relarionship with them, when your initial bridge to the two has been burned? Make that make sense? Because I seriously doubt Angel said THAT just as a joke, but clearly, you didn't even TRY that choice, so it's a moot point from your perspective, but not from mine, and THAT choice, marks the beginning of the great "unraveling" of your relationships. But I don't care if you believe me, because I played that choice, and I don't see how that relationship can continue after that, but please enlighten me, if you know better...

I don't care what you say, or think, and I never said it's like that in the real world, either. I just said I wish it was better dealt with in the GAME, or did you think the game is reality? And for all you know, I might be older than you, as I'm almost 50 by now, but what does that have to do with what I said? And also, as the famous saying goes, "Never assume, because it makes an ass out of u and me" Ass-U-Me, get it? Smh...



(And I don't think your reading skills are the best either, or you must have missed the part about me mistakenly thinking it WAS a harem game, which it is not. Now, please leave me alone, because I don't wanna try to explain something to people who wants to misunderstand what people are actually saying, or projecting their own foolish assumptions to another individual. And I wasn't trying to be clever either, and you were the one that brought up age, not me. Just that statement (about being clever) on its own, is proof that you assumed a few things about me, that I never did towards you.

In fact, the only two things I could assume about you, is that you might be arab due to your name, and that you might be a troll, because of your reply to me, but regardless if either of those are true, I don't have anything to prove to you or anyone else, because I know who I am, and what my intelligence is, as a psycho teacher when I was in elementary school, threw out a rude comment to/about me regarding that, so I was tested, and found to be way above average in that class, and that teacher was fired. So in the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that". So why would someone like me, try to "be clever", when they already know they are? But like I said, I told you this to let you know that you're wrong, but more importantly, you don't know me, but assumed a lot of misguided notions about me anyway.)

Why would the game be any different to what would happen in reality? Just because it's a game? Try harder when you want to be clever. And no, you're not older btw.

I don't really follow your reasoning: but the relationship with Angel and Wanda can be continued together, and most likely they will have an ending together

In chapter 24 Angel says that Wanda took all the blame for forcing Mc to go out with her by threatening to damage Monia's work, and that she therefore forgives him for dating both of them, and from there opens up the possibility of continuing to date both of them

in fact afterwards MC can spend a day on the yacht with both kids having sex with both of them in the presence of the other girl

if you couldn't get to that I would have made some mistake with one of the two kids

 

[Bad Wolf]

Huh. So, what are you saying? Because of those two, I have a solo with one.

 

[felicemastronzo]

Huh. So, what are you saying? Because of those two, I have a solo with one.

in the sense of necessarily having to choose between one of the 2

sorry for the English
