What is ironic is that some of us thought the most horrible things would happen after the cliffhanger of Ep 5 and somehow, the dev comes and basically says ''I... CAN... DO... WORSE'', that's why I love this game :coldsweat:
But let's just try to keep in mind that life is like a rollercoaster, when good things are happening to you, be ready for bad things to come, so maybe, just maybe, the begining of Ep 7 will be sad AF but after this good things will happen like :

Remember that the decision still has dire consequences, even if both will survive, I don't think you'll end up having that 3-way relationship still, meaning you'll probably be left with the girl you chose over the other. But realistically you probably wouldn't end up with neither of of them, the survivor would be suffering from survivor's guilt, probably would even hate your guts for saving her rather than her friend, might end up moving away leaving everything that reminds her of her pain and her loss behind, even you, that's the most realistic outcome. But we really don't know what the dev has in store for us, we'll just have to wait and see. Plus the story will have a rather wide variety of different endings if I recall right, so anything is still possible.

Haha, well he definitely could come up with worse than the possible rape cliffhanger. But he didn't come up with it after episode 5, he came up with it long time ago, he had the story written and done quite the while ago, hence why whatever anybody says here or on Patreon, will not change how the story is gonna be, comments won't influence the story :p

i think the best thing for all of us..is save at the choice and wait...do not click...lol....now take a deep breath..have a cuppa tea and remember why you started playing this game in the first place..because it has one of the greatest stories we've seen on this site ..i'm optimistic about the next two chapters that will conclude this story and refuse to let momentary anger kick me off the ride we are on.

I refuse to make a choice, m8! :evilupset:
Try fix this bad ending in the next episode.
Thing is, if you won't make a decision, you won't progress in the story, you'll just be stuck having those 2 options on your screen all the while the girls are getting closer to being burned alive =o You're forced to make a decision and the dev will not change it, it was decided long time ago, the story is already written and done :p

Oooh okay. I was actually asking because I haven't played that route and I don't know if I can, especially now that I know it would really cause issues in the friendship with Liam, he's a real bro, he's not just a great friend, he's like that brother you never had, a brother from another mother, haha. But the crap thing is that I really fancy the pants off of Rena, although Melissa comes first, but those two ladies are by far my favorite, haha.

The ending begs a question...

So it begs the question of how are they in that position before the event happened?
Pretty much this. The response is almost always, "well X could have happened!" or maybe it was Peter hiding in the shadows like a white trash ninja, or whatever. There are 1000 ways that the final situation could have come to be, but without proper set up it doesn't matter. The scene then comes off as a forced choice brought about to add even more drama. If the scene had been set up properly then it wouldn't be so bad.

while i understand this is not quite what you wanted I feel this has been a fairly natural progression of the story while the ending was a bit out of the blue almost all of this was hinted at or talked about in earlier chapters good stories need twists and so far i have really been enjoying the latter half of this game way more than i did the beginning i took a break from this game since update 3 to let it develop and after this update it might just be one of my favorite games on this site. now it is no depraved awakening but it's a good game that tells it's story very well and gives plenty of player choice and I am happy this person decided to tell the story they wanted not the story people wanted them to make.
I think that the progression when it comes to characters has been exceedingly natural, when it comes to the "drama" it has been exceedingly unnatural. Peter has been a cartoon ever since we first met him. The thought and effort that seems to have gone into nearly every other character in the game is nowhere to be seen with him. He's just a racist, white trash, asshole who regularly beats his wife and stepdaughter, who even in her late teens has made no effort to escape. He becomes even more cartoonish in this episode when:

TL;DR The dev has used melodramatic cliff-hangers before, so the girls will be fine, but melodrama might be spoiling one of the better adult visual novels I've ever played... I'll keep giving it a chance, because the dev has shown he has the skills to redeem himself.
Just want to state that the cancer is again, drama done amazingly well. The difference between how Liam is handled and the rest of the drama is handled is night and day.

You quoted my post yet nothing you mentioned had anything at all to do with anything I typed nor is it relevant to this update.

You mention the amount of cliffhangers yet none of those have left the player with a huge decision to make between 2 characters in a situation like that.



Therein lies the problem a lot of people have. A dramatic event, sure, repeated dramatic events, no.

As I said in my post, it's turned into a drama for drama's sake to try and top the dramatic cliffhanger the drama of the previous update caused.

Much like the overuse of tragedy in Melissa's life we've also got an overuse of drama to the point where it's lost all meaning.

Right now we have a girl who's had nothing but tragedy all her life with the only true friend she's ever known in an overdramatic plot line that if it does go through as it seems will simply be bitter with no sweet.

Then you have the anti Melissa, Rena. Where Melissa has had tragedy thrust upon her all her life to the point where i'm genuinely tired of seeing the dev use her as a whipping post you have her exact opposite in Rena who creates her own drama where none was needed.

I think some people have completely missed the point why others are turned off.

It's not a case of oh no, drama has happened and now my feelings are involved whatever shall I do. It's a case of oh no drama has happened, oh no some more drama has happened, oh look more drama, oh yet more drama, oh joy more drama, ohhhhkay now bored of drama.
Avaron gets it right here. There is only so much of a pile on the audience can take before it becomes overwhelming. Melissa's backstory is almost laughable at this point with how crazy it has gotten. And then in this episode we find out that

Way too much.

You could get enough drama for a climax with ONE of these events, but three, in one episode? No way!

I'm sorry if the following will upset some of you guys, but i really wonder how someone can say that this ending has some kind of drama or is emotionally hard. It's just lazy writing and nothing more.

When I saw this scene and the decision my reaction was not "Oh my god. I don't want to decide!". It was: "Hell what the fuck dude?" :WutFace: We have a MC who can have an athletic threat and there are 2 Girls on the ground who both are small and thin. It would have been easy to drag both of them to a Window and than just throw them out. Also the whole building is already on fire but there is no Firetruck in front? Next thing the scenery shows people around the house, so why there is no one helping the MC? This whole scene is messed up and totally forced up.

Sorry, but this whole crap is just asspulling and no stylistic approach or anything. This whole scene is just nonsense because of all those crappy details so that the immersion got completely disrupted. The developer showed some unlogic in human behavior before but that was crossing a line and as a writer myself I'm really disappointed for such low effort put into this scene. All the drama went obsolete because of the lazy story writing.

Also i have to say that this whole episode lacked something. It felt somehow off compared to the episodes before. Maybe the developer was in a hurry and had no time for polishing but the quality of conversations and the story parts just didn't really work together.

(Sorry for grammatical errors but I'm no native speaker and not used to such long texts. :pokerFace:)
I think the issues really began in episode 5 honestly. The scene with Ana was straining my suspension of disbeleif as it was. Then the Peter scenario happened right after it. I'm not going to call Dr. PinkCake lazy as by all accounts the man works his ass off consistently. But I will say that the shortcuts in writing taken have really hurt the product in these last couple of episodes.

In my opinion - Doc is bad at creating heavy forced drama twists to look like they make sense most of the time, but is awesome at everything else.
Situation with Liam was brought naturally, felt natural and there was no bullshit in this scenario like some events in episodes 5-6.
Most recent events brought stupidity, nerfed some characters to look like dumb and dumber because how these events were told to the viewer, a lot of holes in the plot are just there to get shock value, controversy and before someone tell me that this got people talking well that's the point of drama and controversy wether it's good and bad, point eyes at the specific thing and i guess Doc succeded but for me it felt cheap.
Maybe in the next episode we will find out someone is HIDING UNDER THE DUMPSTER(Some maybe will understand. :p)

Interactions between characters are the best part of the game and the dynamic between them, that's why i was waiting for the next episodes because i wanted more of main characters combo but now i just wonder what bad drama thing is gonna happen next that i can't do nothing about because storyline is already written and choices are a illusion atm or if the the next plot will show us the great/s villain Peter is actually a Rambo type character and will come out chasing us with a bazooka because he failed with other things. :tf:
Yeah, and the fact that this is a game is important. In games players generally have the illusion of choice, or at best limited choices to make that can really affect the outcomes of a scene or story. What makes these limited choices work is the ability to let the player feel like what he picks matters in either shaping the personality of the MC, or affecting the narrative.

But, and this is key, the choices have to seem like they are viable. And that's where the ending here failed, (and honestly there was a similar problem with Ana) the choice at the end just doesn't feel natural. The scenario itself came out of nowhere, it was tied to the weaker aspects of the narrative, and it leaves the players with a choice and dialog that is unnatural and unnerving. You leave the player with a choice that is difficult due to the characters involved but it's cheapened because of the contrivance needed to get there.

Also Police are on the lookout for the arsonist:

Well, its hard to admit it, but this is first erotic novel, where I shed a tear for story like that.. so sad story about his best friend and that stuff at the end - one of the hardest decision I ever made in games (its something like that Mass Effect decision) - so - Good job!

I haven't really focused on unlocking the scenes in the gallery, just wanted to compliment your taste in women, Leah indeed is hot as fuck, not only is she a redhead, but also MILF-like, she's yummy alright, haha :p

I'm curious about that too. But the gallery you're talking about is dedicated to a sex scene with Rena in her route.
