Like the esteemed Visualnovelogist LizaS pointed out to me, I don't remember ever laughing(or cracking a smile, tbf) while playing this, the gloom and romantic aspects are really good, but I hope going forward a bit more effort is put into humor and light hearted interactions. The highlight of this thread is the never-ending Kim hateposting and that its entirely player made, nothing is derived from the game.

Hey... I smiled at the Julia date scene. And I think that's the highlight of the game or the peak of it.

The romantic dialogue in the game is so well-written. If I'm convincing someone to play the game, I would show them the Julia date scene because I think that's Yesterday's Crossroads in a nutshell.

Dev is already forward with the answer:

Thank you! :D
I like the idea;
as the relationships build up, add more wholesomeness and fun with them.
Looking back at it, I do feel like I got too carried away with the 'darker' tone
as the MC was getting out of that limbo he tucked himself into,
but now I can definitely change that.
Awesome!

Yet, in order to actually get the achievement of going on a date with Julia,
any and all players have to get through the Kim adventure,
with the added bonus of her comeback.

Will they ever get across all that Kim adventure and not rage quit?
Will they pivot back to Kim once she comes back?
Will they play long enough to reach Julia and understand they have to keep her,
in order for that fantastic romantic dialogue and date experience to linger?

i dont think you need to play along at all,shit happends but here mc had the worst luck,someone who you loved [and left no matter the reasons,and even she now says where some reasons you dont know,...she coming back to the same fiucking company you are working......it sseems that we forget that this cultures have the decour to avoid this kind of situations,]so now she is back and want ....what? explain?crush your heart again? join in a thresome?guys to each to his own but pls if you are willing to accept the woman who dissapear after 6 years togheter bcs ....whatever she was doin ......you need to carve yourself a hole in the ground and dissapear ......
i know this is only my opinion but pls if you are a simp in real life dont put those toughts about it to others...kim belong to the streets and the job also belongs to the bin,mc dont stop to thinking that,and soon or later dev willl need to put a choice to explain whats going on to the hr departmentand to the boss and find a way out [at least for the players who dont want that woman near to us.....

While I do think the romance is top notch especially any of the dates you go on like the Julia one. I find the lewd scenes so far a bit lacking because they feel really light in dialogue compared to most AVN's ive played to the point it doesn't even feel intimate or romantic.

Agreed. The romance is well written and the girls are gorgeous, but it's difficult to look forward to any of the sex scenes when i know they are going to be extremely vanilla with very little dirty talk and no description of what's happening. I think this dev could benefit from getting help from someone who knows how to write good sex scenes because IMO, they are the only thing holding this back from being a top tier VN.

No...it doesn't.

Not everything needs to be light-hearted or have comedy moments. Actually quite refreshing to see a serious VN for once.

Just the right amount of heavy or drama. If it's too much then it goes into soap opera territory or retarded drama territory that is anger-inducing like three rules of life for example. Some snippets of comedy here and there are not bad.

Yeah, I guess I don't really hate Kim... But, there's not much room for light heartedness in her story so far. I will, however, predict that in my version of the tale she will definitely be the . Jus' Sayin' :cool:

Leap of Fate had even heavier topics and the humor fit just fine, not to mention that humor is very often used as a coping mechanism.
Whataboutism doesn't matter. Not everything needs light-heartedness. That would be why drama series and films are sooooo unpopular...right? And for the record, I was largely unimpressed with LoF and think it's massively overrated.

If this is too serious, gloomy, whatever, want comedy....this obviously ain't the VN for you is it?

Hey, everyone!
As of today, the Chapter 2 update is available for all tiers!
Over the past week, I've been working on things I've planned for some time but didn't have much time for.
I made some small fixes to Kim's model in Blender, mainly to her nose. These fixes won't change how she looks, they are just slight adjustments to that weird dent on her nose and the overall cranium shape. She still looks the same as before, but with some corrections.

Currently, I am mainly writing scenes for Chapter 3 and testing things in DAZ. I’ll start going full steam ahead next week.
I will go back to the previous chapters (mainly the Prologue) to make some fixes and changes to dialogues, static renders, and animations. However, I will thoroughly rework ALL the lewd scenes as they are very bland, and I need to address that to make them feel more intimate and passionate, I've put so much work into them and they still look lazy. The Chapter 3 update will have all lewd scenes reworked.
There is a lot to start working on in the upcoming weeks!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Thank you for posting this. Looks like my biggest complaint is getting reworked. I already was gonna replay this when the update does come out but now I have another reason 2.

What Keyla did was as worse than what Kim did, she used you to cheat on her boyfriend, who was your best friend, and then she left you to marry your best friend, and if you gave her the chance, she would have cheated on him with you again.

What Kim did wasn't cool, but at least she did it partly to protect you, it was silly, I wouldn't go back with her after what she did, but for me, she's much better than Keyla.

Kim came back, but she didn't force herself on you, she explained to you why she left you and that was it, it was a stupid reason, but far from being a reason to hate her like many of you are doing, she and her sister grew up terrified because of their father, she was afraid to tell her boyfriend about the threats, because the boyfriend could try to act macho and end up suffering for it, if you observe the MC you will notice that he certainly does not inspire protection.

I've read so many hateful comments towards Kim that I'm starting to feel sorry for her.

Not defending Keyla but I swore it said she accepted his marriage proposal before coming to college and seeing the MC again or right after the MC meet Zeke. but anyways your post made me change my stance to Keyla being worst than Zeke. I used to think Zeke was worst as to me it seemed like his cheating been going on longer and maybe with multiple women. While Keyla was just with the MC for a unknown amount of time but got the sense wasn.t for very long in comparison. But I didnt think about it at the time till I read your post just now but yeah if she really did still love the MC she should of called it off right after they reconnected and realized they still feel the same for one another.

But yeah im 100% with you I think Kim gets to much hate or is judged too quickly when we dont know enough about her father. If her father ends up being a nobody that has no real power or connection I could understand it alot more.

Have you not played the game this long? Kim never said anythign about her parents, ever.
She made it look like and sound like and made it a reality to MC SHE WOULD NEVER TALK ABOUT IT.
I've read so many hateful comments towards Kim that I'm starting to feel sorry for her.
Dev confirmed that MC and Kay never cheated on Zeke as a married man,
then confirmed Kay was MCs CHILDHOOD CRUSH WhO WENT AWAY SUDDENLY.

You mean to tell me Zeke knew nothing of MC having a major crush on his major childhood crush?
What kind of a demented friend asks your crush to marry him?
What kind of incel beta insecure MC would even think of talking
to either his betrayer crush or his backstabber so called ”best friend”
ever again?

I think Kim gets to much hate or is judged too quickly when we dont know enough about her father.
So how much are we supposed to diss the MC when he finds out all the skeletons she has been hiding
in her closet actually did get to her, they had nibbled on her very soul for the duration of months if not years,
yet she would never bring this up with MC, he was totally unaware of any possibility of her ever going back
to the people she would never talk about or show fond memories of to MC - total shocker mobile of her run.
