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

[ImSenjou]

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.


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?



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.

I know I'm going to regret replying to the biggest hater in this thread but here goes...

I read and re-read my comment and didn't see where I mentioned that she cheated on Zeke with MC after they got married, but she definitely felt like doing it.

And if you haven't played the game, or simply haven't paid attention, I'll leave here a scene that shows the MC and Keyla having an affair behind Zeke's back, the MC's best friend, "the brother he never had", even though they know that what they were doing was wrong, that didn't stop them.

I won't answer you again, 'haters gonna hate', no one will convince you to change your opinion.

Actually not sure why you're replying either to be fair, you're not actually contradicting what he said or disproving anything. He never said they never cheated...only that they didn't (as per devs words...so argue with the actual writer all you like if that's your jam) when Zeke and Key were married. Doesn't matter what they wanted....lots of people want lots of things...but they don't do them/get them.

I also notice you didn't bother trying to disprove his points about Kim either....so all in all...what exactly are you trying to prove?

Each to their own all my point was while people have a valid reason to dislike Kim I just think the dislike / hate comes a bit too quickly since we know next to nothing about her father. How I see it if her father really has powerful connections , I dont think her actions were entirely unjustified because of the fear she has for him.

Now it may be stupid that she would work with the MC if her fear is still justified but I just chalked that up to either because she broken up with the MC so she has no reason to fear him or she just stopped caring about her father and just going to deal with the consequences.

 

[Slick Bean]

Nobody was ever supposed to stop or hurt anyobdy. MC is being the rational+forgiving+heartbroked party here.

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.

Come back and TREAT MC LIKE A LOOSER SHE would just Flake on/Ghost/ Snub all the WHILE LOOKING TO MARRY HIS BEST FRIEND?
What about Zeke? Is he or not MCs best friend who knows not Kayla is the love of MCs life?

MC: Here we are. She will fix it. She will kick Zeke to the curb and come back to me. Right? RIGHT !!!!!!!!!

Does Zeke know nothing that Keyla BROKE MCS HEART when she dissapeared?
Did Zeke not know he would absolutely hurt MC by bringing Kayla back TO FLAUNT HER AS HIS - RIGHT INTO MCs face
like a fkking bull in those disgusting NTR games?

MC: Great. She knows what she has got to do! She will kick Zeke out. Seh gotta! Right? RIGHT!!!!

MC. What does she mean: come back to me? She is here. With Me! She chose me! Right? RIGHT!!!

Zeke is no innocent poarty here! You keep making him innocent for no good reason.
Zeke would not let go of hunting after Keyla, the one true love MC cannot get over:
- how little of a best friend is Zeke to actually steal Kayla away from MC and then literally flaunt her
all in fron of his so called ”best friend”? Do best friends only deserve to be bullied outta their feelings and personality,
like Zeke actually disconsiders MC totally with his asshoel move to literally steal the love of his best friend?

And if you haven't played the game, or simply haven't paid attention, I'll leave here a scene that shows the MC and Keyla having an affair behind Zeke's back, the MC's best friend, "the brother he never had", even though they know that what they were doing was wrong, that didn't stop them.

Nobody fixed this, MC has been forever letting Zeke and Kayla walk all over him,
like he let Kim walk all over him with her year and a half hiatus after which she just wants
to come back like nothing happened.

I just think the dislike / hate comes a bit too quickly since we know next to nothing about her father.

Precisely whay I said - Kim never said anythign to anyone and then pooh - gone. Why should MC or us care about someone she
never ever talked about, certinaly nothing about going back to him, nothign about the sister, nothign about thw company.
Kim has been living and thriving through jobs overseas with MC, keeping her working visa on and making a life for herslef,
only we find out she idscarded everybody and everything out here to go back to the hellhole of her family.

How are we or MC supposed to give a care about the nothing she never said to anybody, not even to herself, in this game?

MC is already a nobody - Zeke cheats without batting an eye, while Keyla is so much hasitant with MC,
but all you guys keep seeing is all the assholes getting pussy dropped on them - like the bully asshole Zeke:
that asshole is a best friend only in scriptede declaration - he does not offer any winghman assistance to mc:
Zeke has been stealing girls away from MC from day one, even marries the love of MCs life ffs.

MC: I have been telling Zeke all the time how I would marry you and have 20 kids and be happy anywhere with you. Sure he will understand. Right?
RIGHT !!!

the MC's best friend, "the brother he never had", even though they know that what they were doing was wrong, that didn't stop them.

That never stopped Zeke or Keyla from marrying eachother despite both knowing MC is forever head over heels with Keyla.
they both know it very well, they both talk about it, yer they still disrespect MC and trat him like a total looser,
what gives them the right to simply not talk or acknowledge MCs feelings and his absolute heartache while they married?
What did MC do wrong? He was there for Zeke and he was there for Keyla - he genuinely believed that his best friend and his absolute crush
would support him, not totally destroy their friendship and any dignity or selfrespect MC ever had by going forward with it.
Sure enough, you keep finding excuses for the cheating asshole like MC is in the wrong?
Why the fuck are you deffendiong bulls in a story that is suppsoed to not have NTR,
but you are so fkking happy to say Zeke as this upstanding bull - while he keeps stealing girls from MC.

MC is a pussy. He had no guts to put Zeke in his place, let alone Keyla or Kim. Zeke is a serial cheater.
Zeke broke the bro code by stealing the love of MCs life, Kayla knows it, MC knows it,
but MC is written as the absolute beta cuck, letting Keyla and Zeke marry right over his dead body.

Enjoy MCs funeral .. you are so fond of shitting on our protagonist, I dunno why you play this game.
To see MC cucked all the time by the cheating Zeke who ”just happends” to date and marry girlfriends
that have walked right outta MCs life with no explanation?

 

[alive89]

I asked about this whole Kayla Zeke situation on the dev's Discord. He answered something I was most curious about, Zeke didn't know about them before and still doesn't.

This is devastating - both to Keyla who got ”HUSTLED” into a marriage so that Zeke could feel good,
but also to MC who is shown, we have the renders on this very page abouve, literally giving Keyla time to
”fix things” - she said. Why did she never end it with Zeke then and there? Why did she not pledge herself to MC?

Well .. now we know Zeke is the exact same as Kim - so much of a ”Best Friend” as she was a ”Girlfriend” to MC,
but they NEVER BOTHERED TO ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT HOW MC WAS FEELING ABOUT THEM AND OTHER PEOPLE.

MC is left in the dark about they ”other people” - how is MC supposed to know what was going on between Key and Zek
if Key was seeing him and SHE DID BREAK IT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WTH ZEKE!

So .. Key did FIX THING BY BREAKING UP WITH zEKE - BUT NEVER MANAGED TO CONFESS HER LOVE TO MC.

Zeke kept his break ups and his marriage proposal a secret to MC, because why not, right?
MC kept his secret love for Key also - tit for that, there it is, Zeke got what he deserved, that asshole!

 

[lorkdubo]

If Keyla and Zeke met in HS holidays, they were only together for weeks or a few months max. Huge red flag for Keyla actually. I mean, it's kinda fucked up but there are not a lot of stakes in a fresh relationship. She could have easily got together with MC even if they had to explain to Zeke.

 

[Slick Bean]

She did get back with MC and she even broke up with Zeke MULTIPLE TIMES.

She could have easily got together with MC even if they had to explain to Zeke.

Zeke never told MC about his break ups, MC never picked up Key inbetween them.
MC did the right thing - just be there and let them sort it out:
Keyla tells MC point blank she will fix things.
But Mc never told Zeke he has been pining for Keyla HIS WHOLE LIFE,
the fact he is hurt so much and cannot hold a relationship with anmybody,
because his beloved is not fixing things, his best friend does not care he is dead inside,
possibly close to suicide by them on and off right in his face,
all because they both, Zeke and Key keep lying to MC all the time.

MC never was serious with anyone while Zeke was ”hustling” Keyla for commitment,
he even hustled her into marriage - stickign a knife in MC and killing him inside for good.

 

[Dessolos]

idk to me I don't see Zeke getting with Keyla and marrying her as betraying the MC at least yet unless there is something I forgot and need to replay the game. Simply because I don't recall Zeke ever knowing how much the MC like Keyla. Sure according to the dev post Zeke suspected something with all the flirting but unless he knew how serious they were in the past I don't know If I could call it a betrayal either. So while I do think Zeke is horrible for cheating on Keyla i'm also withholding judgement if Zeke did betray the MC and is a bad friend towards the the MC or not until more is revealed.

 

[pra86]

...

It's been a while since I played this, but I don't think the game ever explicitly states that Zeke was aware of Kayla and MC's past relationship. At most, all he knew was that they were childhood friends.

In any case, the dev has done an excellent job of crapping over all the characters:

Kim: Oh my daddy will beat you, so I ran away!

MC: I'm gonna screw my ex, when she is in a relationship with my friend.

Kayla: I'm gonna screw my ex, while not permanently breaking things off with this guy I'm dating. (then later) I'm gonna keep quiet about Kim leaving (was she hoping to have a chance once Kim left?)

Zeke: Lemme date some girl in secret, instead of first breaking things off with Kayla.

Basically, they all deserve each other.

Then we have all the weird coincidences: Zeke dating this girl in another city, who just happens to be MC's ex, Michelle turns out to be the reclusive sister of MC's ex. Thankfully, it hasn't quite reached the level of surrealism seen in Intertwined and Niichan's work.

 

[Slick Bean]

This has to be the case because MC is horrified of being abbandoned, because it is what has happened to him
his entire childhood: Keyla suddenly up and gone when family moved, some other girl also up and moved,
Kim suddenly up and moved - this is a serious character flaw for MC - these girls never really commit to MC.

Zeke never told MC about his break ups, MC never picked up Key inbetween them.
MC did the right thing - just be there and let them sort it out:
Keyla tells MC point blank she will fix things.

She did get back with MC and she even broke up with Zeke MULTIPLE TIMES.

MC never was serious with anyone while Zeke was ”hustling” Keyla for commitment,
he even hustled her into marriage - stickign a knife in MC and killing him inside for good.

You have to be real here - what kind of a friend is Zeke if their so called best firend relationship
never includes what kills MC inside, neither tha fact that MC has BEEN totally FALLEN FOR kEYLA HIS ENTIRE LIFE,
the fact Zeke is so shallow in his relationship while Keyla DID BREAK IT OFF WITH ZEKE MULTIPLE TIMED AS SHE
WOULD AFTER PROMISSING TO FIX THIS SITUATION TO MC - this is a case where a lot of players keep seeing MC
as this CUCK WHO CANNOT HOLD A RELATIONSHIP so they can support Zeke,
BUT ZEKE CANNOT EITHER as Keyla has been breaking it off with him a lot,
he be hustling Keyla, HIS EX MANY TIMES OVER, into marrying him SO HE WOULD ”UP YOURS” TO MC IN A GRAND WAY - while he likes the cheater lifestyle so much,
that is a tragedy here.

Zeke is not telepathic. Nobody is. If MC refused to ever truly talk about Kayla, that's on him, not Zeke. You'd be surprised at the kind of things that so-called 'best friends' choose to keep from each other.

Kayla broke things off multiple times, but then got back together multiple times too - hence my emphasis on 'not permanently'. It's not like Z forced her into it, or blackmailed her (at least as far as we know). She chose to be weak and indecisive, she chose (just like the MC) not to come clean to Z about who she really likes. Again, that's on her, not on Z.

During any of those 'breaks' that happened, Kayla could have talked to MC, and the two could have made it official. They didn't do so.

Do I like Z? Nope, he's an annoying idiot who injured the MC, a needy fool constantly pursuing women who aren't that interested in him, and a cheater who can't even walk away properly from a failed relationship. But he didn't 'up' anybody 'in a grand way', nor did he cuck anyone - that can all be blamed squarely on both Kayla and MC. Apparently, neither of the duffer duo heard of the old adage - play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

 

[Slick Bean]

Here you are perfectly right - Zeke and Keyla are the exact same way:

a cheater who can't even walk away properly from a failed relationship

They deserve eachother in so many ways - but dev did state that ZEKE BEGGED KEYLA TO GET BACK TO HIM,
call it hustle, call it whatever you want - Keyla accepted his hustle of a relationship,
after her successful attempts to brEak it off with him - Zeke kept going after Keyla with his hustle.

- there are tons of such cheaters, divorcees, or husbands who BEG GIRLS TO GET BACK TO THEM
AND THEN BEAT THEM UP TILL THEY ARE BROKEN BEYOND BELIEF.

It's not like Z forced her into it, or blackmailed her

wE SHOULD BE REAL ABOUT WHAT DID HAPPEN - ZEKE KEPT PRESSURING kEYLA, NOT OUT OF LOVE,
MC LET HER CHOOSE OUT OF LOVE, WHILE ZEKE HUSTLED HER INTO MARRIAGE, SO HE COULD THEN
CONTINUE CHEATING ON HER LIKE IT WAS NOTHING.

Zeke is not telepathic. Nobody is. If MC refused to ever truly talk about Kayla, that's on him, not Zeke. You'd be surprised at the kind of things that so-called 'best friends' choose to keep from each other.

Zeke never told MC about his ”marriage proposal” - or his on and off Keyla relationship.
What do you think Zeke was doing while Keyla was able to see MC? He was Cheating as always.
Do you think MC would touch Keyla is Zeke gave a damn? He is a cheater so MC figured he did not care.

This is interesting because I think in last update he hinted he knew that Kayla never really forgot the MC. Unless he was referring to Kim, but the timing of that replay from Zeke made me think Kayla.

The passion in the debate of various characters and their actions is a huge testament to CHAQUINN0's skill in character development and storytelling. Great work CHAQUINN0!

I'm not a fan of Patreon or Subscribestar, for reasons that I'd rather not go into here. Any chance Yesterday's Crosswords will be coming to Steam?
