I think Elsa genuinely cares about Elsa. You can't really see it currently because she is full in the tough life coach role at the moment but if you go back with the earlier Elsa/Edward interaction, especially the time she calls Edward to get her out of the police station and the whole princess in tower discussion. She says at one point that she values loyalty like her mother and she can "read" people like her father. Imo Elsa has big respect for Edward because he is one the rare person around her who is genuine. Early Edward doesn't try to get in her pants or use her as a pawn for political scraps like Matt or the CFO.

She defintely has some hidden motives and secrets but she also cares about Edward way much that her nonchalent attitude suggest :

- Edward's anger is more apparent but she is pissed too when Emma stole the project
- She hints that Lucy is just a basic gold digger and Edward shouldn't waste her time with her.
- When Edward feels guilty after his promotion, instead of brushing him off, she listen offer real advice despite her vindicative stance on Emma

I wouldn't be surprised that the whole cold and tough life coach is just a facade to help MC to not stagnate and push himself.

Because at the end of the day, why the hell would she pick an interest of Edward ? She is obviously rich and has close links with important people like the CEO of Escen. Early Edward is not a big shot he is just a clueless depressed office monkey.

Yes, she had to hang on Edward's coattails longer than originally assumed.

- She hints that Lucy is just a basic gold digger and Edward shouldn't waste her time with her.

If she really cared for Edward, she'd tell him to hook with Lucy or someone like her. There's absolutely nothing to imply Lucy is a gold digger. Instead, she keep Edward in her hooks, dangling the Alice carrot in front of him. Lucy (or someone like her) would get in the way of that.

- When Edward feels guilty after his promotion, instead of brushing him off, she listen offer real advice despite her vindicative stance on Emma

Elsa knows knows which bridges can be burned and which cannot. (I don't know if I got that far. I stopped after he got drunk on promotion day.)

Most likely, she wants to destroy EO (total speculation). She only really took up interest in Edward when he had "the idea". And then she made sure he couldn't ignore her by getting arrested and needing him to rescue her.

I realize once you assume someone has ulterior motives, it's easy to think everything they do plays into those motives. Don't get me wrong. Problem is we know she has motives that aren't necessarily in line with Edward's. And that means at some point, she'll have to choose between him and herself. And that's no choice at all.

It's like the rest of your post kind of refutes the opening statement. Are you sure this is not a typo bro?

Yes it's an obvious typo, it should read "I think Elsa genuinely cares about Edward."

Perhaps it was a Freudian slip. The truth is inside the poster you're responding to.

You're right, thank you!

Lucy definitely gives gold digger/materialistic vibes. You can only sleep with her the first time if you lie about your job after showing off with Elsa's car, otherwise she is not interested by you until you start to wear expansive clothes.

It is just after when they talk before falling asleep

I don't know I somehow feel like she was sent to destroy/spy EO by some.one (her family?) but is/will be having second thoughts about

What clue is there that she's having second thoughts?

Hello,

Target is OK.

Today will be brief. I've completed two scenes this week plus one that left from previous week. Above the target, and compensated for previous week.
Right now the amount is something above 800 images, half plus something rendered. The target for Day 3 is to pack it all in 1000 images.
Last scene of Day 3 is going to take around 80 images by my calculation, that means it probably will take ~120 images. Then the rest 5 scenes should somehow fit into 100 images.
I need to think what to I could optimize or maybe throw away. There are images of the camera just moving around and following a character without a text, or something happening without a text. I like them, but as much as I enjoy making then, it takes time and increases render count.
Next week I want to switch focus to writing. Rendering is severely lacking behind anyway, and I could use this time to write. Plus I want to put parts that are ready together in see how it plays out, but some scenes I need is still in render queue.
Day 3 progress: 3 out of 9 scenes completed.
Thanks for your support.
See you.

I think long hair suit her better. She's simple gorgeous...

Hello,

Target is OK.
Week. Spent about half of the week writing. It was nice.
Spent the other half of the week attending sins of first half – catching up with render schedule. It wasn't nice.
I completed 2.5 scenes this week. The first two were nice to work with, the third one got me.
It was a scene on the 21st floor, not in someone's office but in a common area with lots of small props and a big panoramic window behind the characters. Panoramic windows are only fun in real life, guys. Windows, lots of props, plus the outside environment – what else? Right, Daz crashing and being quirky when working with something relatively big.
It was no fun, but I lived.
Plans. 3.5 scenes left in Day 3. That remaining half scene is set up, I just have to pose it.
Two scenes take place in the office. I'm struggling with writing these two; I need to find some time to sit and focus only on them, but it means I have to hurry up later next week to meet the target.
And the last scene is the one with Alice. This is troublesome too, but in a good way. Alice and Elsa dialogues usually come off way too easy. When it's two interesting characters talking – it can go anywhere. The only problem is to restrain myself from derailing it entirely.
I don't know which path I'll take. I'm a bit tired of catching up mode, and I want to meet the target for the next week because next week is last week in "month". What kind of culture it would be if we weren't obsessed with numbers here?
Day 3 progress: 5.5 out of 9 scenes completed.
Rendering. Had enough time this week, but not much accomplished. Rendering a heavy scene, expectable, still slow. It should be finished within days or two.

Thanks for being here today and for your support.
See you.

It's good to see discussions like this here, most of the threads I visit are just nonsense, people criticizing others for giving opinions, or AI “Fan Art” spam…

After reading the comments on the last pages I decided to delete the game, the game is well rated, before downloading, months ago, I read several comments, but when playing I didn't understand, what's interesting about this game?

The most talked about and apparently favorite “Li” around here doesn't even have “scenes” (The game has been in development for 4 years!), even playing the game completely I still didn't understand the appeal, but that's ok, I think my expectations were too high, that's why the disappointment was so big.

The game is so highly rated that I left it here, even though I didn't like it, but it's time to go.

I don't want to convince anyone, I'm not criticizing the game, I know there are those who like it, I just wanted to leave this comment because I finally saw a healthy discussion after going through so many horrible threads.

And just to finish, I played this game months ago, I don't remember much, so this theory is pretty weak, I just thought about it now, but I think Elsa is a creation of the MC's mind, like Tyler is a creation of the mind of Jack, from the movie 'Fight Club', think about it.
Damn, after thinking about this it reignited my interest in the game, is it possible??

This is actually a great theory. You should also post your comment as a review. FWIW, I think this particular game is great because it's a little different from the 18-year-old cringey fuckfest with purple haired girls with tattoos that is most AVNs these days

I guess if you've been playing for 4 years, it's been too long indeed. I just downloaded the latest and played from start to end, ctrl-skipping the flashback scene with the roommate because that shit was weak as fuck, but otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed the setting and the limited number of LIs, most of which are differentiated from each other, as opposed to all the copy-and-paste LIs from most other AVNs

Quoting myself from another thread:

" Either way, as far as I'm concerned, you are free to believe in any delusional twisted plot theory you want to believe in.

That's the problem with you guys who grew with all this shitty pop culture: you think that nonsensical plot twists are smart and good. "

I often read your posts, and I never agree with your opinions. Very unsurprisingly, I totally disagree with everything you've written above once again.

Ditto. Same as above.

 

[dolfe67]

It's an adult game before being a porn game. I enjoy both, it has its appeal.

I thought of the fight club twist too with this game in some way, but I don't think it's likely.

 

[Jacowboy]

ctrl-skipping the flashback scene with the roommate because that shit was weak as fuck,

Pshh, you're crazy, that's an amazing scene... one of my favs... the choreography is top notch.

 

[Dessolos]

Pshh, you're crazy, that's an amazing scene... one of my favs... the choreography is top notch.

yeah that was one my favorite scenes and pretty important ones imo to, since it gives alot of backstory as to why the MC is kind of a loser now. Since he wasnt always like that.

I understood the story even with mostly ctrl-skipping, but still couldn't relate to it and felt it was way too bloated overall... but different strokes for different folks

yeah im just in a believer of never ctrl skipping unless ive seen the content. Since to me if I control skip stuff I dont like might as well play another game. That and well I dont need to relate to any MC. Only seen it once so I cant recall how bloated it was I just love any scenes that has backstory where we learn more about any character main reason I liked it.
