VN Ren'Py Yesterday's Crossroads [Ch.3 v0.4.0a] [CHAQUINN0]

[Canto Forte]

Not in the slightest!
Yes, MC moved away, but when the time came, Alessa moved away also.
Tit for tat.
Months go by with young adults who can hook up this easily as this game makes it look like just every other day.

the MC is kind of a bad person no?

MC was abbandoned by the best friend who went and got with Kayla. Nobody forced Kayla or the best friend to go behind MCs back and decide to marry or date despite knowing they were keeping things from MC. They both hide behind MC and Kim, like Alessa is doing now. MC was left alone by these guy and girls when life or their own decisions split them apart.

It’s also apparent that he can’t recognize what he has done wrong in terms of his past with some of the LI’s and his best friend.

Just as MC tried to move on, these guy and girls did also. MC felt betrayed and did not know what to do also when Kayla kept telling him she was getting back with him, only to ned up married to his best friend. Just as Kim had led MC to believe she was building a new life for herself with him only to leave unexpectadly with literally no explanation one day.

Such mind games will screw with a young guy or girl. Just as MC just let Kayla slip away, or Alessa, the same can be said for both of them: they let MC get estranged as they just refused to confrunt him, never talked to him any more or simply made up their minds to abbandon him - thinking his fate to be his punishment when they found him anew or had gotten close to seein him - they thought it was the best thing to simply leave and never look back, as opposed to them coming back into his life.

Now everyone and MC are older and wiser - they can actually confront eachother and talk things through - thankfully.

From what I understand, the MC is kind of a bad person no? It’s also apparent that he can’t recognize what he has done wrong in terms of his past with some of the LI’s and his best friend.

I'd say he was a bad person in the past some a certain degree but present day MC probably be depending on the player choices. For me I see the MC as someone trying to be a better person despite doing some shitty things in the past , same as Keyla. However the opposite can be said for Zeke since he is a cheater in the past and still is. When it comes to Kim is hard to say as much as I hate to say this I need to see more Kim to get an opinion if she is still a bad person or not.

wouldn't say Kim is a bad person per se, more like a coward. I still don't like her

true coward is more fitting way to describe her than bad cause yeah she isn't bad person despite the one fucked up thing she did.

From what I remember the MC and Alessa tried to keep things going when he went to college and spoke for hours on the phone every night. Then her parents announced that they were getting a divorce and she threw her phone in anger, smashing it. The MC came back and she had moved, then a few weeks later (not sure how long actually) she went to find him at his college. She spoke with his dorm mate and when she said "I'm his girlfriend" when she asked about him, he said "I thought his girlfriend was Asian" as it seems he had started seeing Kim.
So you could say that he wronged Alessa, as they hadn't officially broken up when he started dating Kim they had just lost touch when she had to move.

When Alessa's parents broke up she went silent, yes she broke her phone, but it wasn't the reason, she was at the bad place and decided to go away from everything and everybody, including MC.
I remember MC saying smth like - "I sent you millions of messages and also every call went to the voice mail".
Also it's not clarified how much time has passed. Alessa just said - "when the dust settled down I tried to find you" or smth. I think it was much more than two weeks.

Maybe I forgot some additional info, but at the moment It doesn't feel to me that MC wronged her.
He thought she abandoned him, just like everybody else and decided to move on. What else he was supposed to do?

P.S. Also I am not stating that MC is a saint in this situation of course. Just think it's on both of them.

Well, it's pretty apparent you really don't understand, that's for sure.

He did one bad thing...one mistake. He hasn't done anything to any other girl...they all left him, mostly for reasons out of their own control at the time.

I've had this one on the TODO list for quite some time. For one reason or another I kept putting it off. So, thanks Dessolos for giving me the nudge to get to it.

Very, very enjoyable. Some outstanding LI's to choose from (although I wish Riley was one of them ) and already started multiple paths. Story is great and the dialogue linking and pathing, depending on routes you take is extremely good. Considering the multiple variations mentioned in the last devlog, it's good that the dev knows what he's doing.

Can't wait for the next update.

I know you were talking to Milton just wanted to say im willing to let Keyla redeem herself but even if she does she will never beat basically all the LI, so her position will be pretty much untouched in how I rank her.

Kim tho that ship has sailed I think she just dug herself a bigger hole with her explanations that she is afraid of her father as I have a hard believing he is some big time crime boss that has that kind of power and connections.

I'm still playing their paths no matter what just to see it / for content .

they are hard nos for me both, haven't tried either path yet, probably never will. I just don't like their characters. Maybe my loss that I miss out on some scenes but I can live with it.

yeah well im not an immersive player so I feel like I have to / want to play everything a game offers me unless I really despise a character to the point I want to throw them out of a window like in a certain other game lol. So far Kim and Keyla are just dislike but not hate for me

Both hard no's for me too. The explanation of Kim's father didn't match up for me with her behavior and comments (about suffocation, hating her job etc) before she left.

She could have been lying to protect MC, but it felt real at the time. So I didn't believe the new story was entirely the truth and while she was explaining, I found myself saying, "you've had over 12 months and that was the best you could come up with?"

in my normal playthrough I didn't even listen to her explanation just told her to fuck off, but went back and checked it out of curiosity. Didn't change my mind one bit, so I went with my original choice

yeah pretty much this for me too. My main issue is the fact she left the MC in the dark for I forget 1-3 years when she could of called him , sent him a letter something to give him a reason. But she left in the dark and nothing worst imo than wondering what the problem was or what I did wrong. She wasn't even thinking of the MC's feeling but hers.

Keyla im just only willing to give a maybe pass to if she does redeem her self cause she doesn't seem as bad as Kim and she starting to feel like a better character / person slowly in chapter 3

I was going to tell her to fuck off, but I was getting a bit sick of the MC moping around. Dude, it's been a year, grow some balls and move on. And thought, if we listened to her explanation, he might get some closure and move onto one of the other LIs. I was prepared to go back and change it, if it meant too many affection points with her though.

I just wasn't interested in Keyla, she cheated on Zeke with MC, what's to stop her doing that again. I'm not just blaming her, MC is just as much at fault.
