Did the sex part come with Monica?

Lads. Calm it down.
I've mass warned all participants in the argument.
If ye want to argue amongst each other, take it to PM's.
Don't start off again.

Damn! I always miss the good arguments (except for the single one I was involved in ). What was this one about? Not looking for full details (don't want to kick the hornet's nest), just wondering what the topic was (I'll consider it research for future episodes)?

Hi @CheekyGimp It was a back and forth about whether the main characters sexual activity amounted to incest regardless of your own already specifically made explanation.

Incidentally, looking forward to the next update. Will there be a vote on who it focuses on?

Wouldn't it be the promised date with Jenna?

Ah OK, I saw the initial discussions before it must have really kicked off (and I'm assuming comments got deleted). Thanks for the info.
Won't be a vote about the focus of the next episode (Ep 9) as it's already pre-determined. I did hold a vote for which side character should definitely feature in the episode after this one (Ep 10) and Lily won by a landslide.

Next episode will be out in the next 7-10 days. Progressing well. The date with Jenna will be covered, plus the will reading for MC's father's inheritance. Monica will make an appearance (have a second scene also, but not sure if the second scene will fit in or will push to Episode 10). Katie will have a scene. Bella will definitely feature and Jolina should make a brief appearance!

I am so happy for this. I think Lily can be a really important side character, and I'm glad she'd have her share of spotlight. Hopefully you already know what her plot will be about.

Are the renders of the girls in the game a lot better than the preview images in the OP because they look pretty bad? I am hoping yes cause even I need a break from all the incest in almost all these games. And the story sounds very promising.

The preview image is what's in the game. Chapter 8 onwards, the renders were improved because Cheeky (dev) hired extra help. Chapter 1-7 was one-man show by Cheeky himself.

My suggestion is simply to try the game first and not judge a book by its cover. It sounds cliche, but there's no harm in trying. If you didn't enjoy it, you didn't enjoy it. But if you enjoy it, then it's a pleasant surprise for you.

Thanks mate. Ill give it a go. From what I have seen in the comments here the story more than makes up for any visuals that may or may not be lacking.

This game is very very good, I sincerely liked it even more because it does not have incest, it seems more natural, the story is immersive, ex: any mention of Roger made my blood boil, so you can imagine how much I loved episode 8, extremely anxious for the next episode!!.

 

[gerodrin]

When will we see Angel again? She is truly fascinating

 

[Sickboy]

This is the first game that actually kept me for more 5 hours sitting in front of the screen.

I will be a 100% honest. It's not exactly the kind of stories or novels I would prefer... But its so well written and the dialogs are quite funny and spontaneous that even If you dont like the theme, you can't stop reading and playing.

It's in my top 5 VN !

Congratulations to developers. Im eagerly awaiting a new realease !

Borg ->7 of 9 -> mental drooling

Can you imagine having 7-of-9, Monica, and a case of good wine in a king-sized hotel room AT THE SAME TIME?! Gives me the absolute SHIVERS!!!

 

[John Winkel]

Correct. And now you know that Katie is crazy enough to do that, you can control the MC to not do that if you want to. You, as the MC, have the choice to not go that crazy. If you consider Katie as more important, then be willing to be as crazy as her. If you consider it's too crazy to do, then don't do it. It's pretty straight forward.

Think about it like IRL. You like this girl, you've gone on dates a few times with her, then suddenly she told you that she wanted to do revenge porn to her ex-bf and wanted your help. Do you help her out or not? If you really want to bang her, you'd help her. If you feel that it's wrong and not something you can do, then dodge the crazy lady. It's completely in your hands of what you do.


The fundamental issue here is that you're trying to split the paths into "Gentleman" (points) and "D-bag" (no points). While in reality, the paths are "what Katie likes" (points) and "what Katie doesn't like" (no points). Your inability to separate the two is becoming a problem because you're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and be upset that it didn't fit.


With all due respect, it showed that you haven't been paying attention to the story. Yes it's very different, but this revenge during the party has been mentioned and planned since very early on in the game. This revenge/party was Katie's main plot story. We just didn't know how far it would've gone to. This is by no means a radical shift, nor signal to a new direction. This is something that happened because it's Katie's main plot (up to that point). Episode 9 with Jenna being the focus would have nothing to do with being a douche because the plot for that is not about being a douche.


Of course it's sexual assault. What else would you consider a woman grabbing a guy's junk if not sexual assault? Reverse the gender, and this is Donald Trump's famous line "Grab them by their pussy".


Again, it clearly showed you haven't been paying attention whatsoever about the story. Monica is not a "landlady" or a "step-mom" to bypass Patreon because there exist the actual step-mom in the storyline. The main story plot is also about the mysterious email that Monica received though the MC didn't send it.

It's interesting how one can be so disgusted by revenge porn in a video game, but completely be okay with incest to the point of considering something as incest even if it wasn't intended to.


Yes, but we've established that interaction with Katie would give you points if you do what Katie likes. What Katie likes isn't necessarily just you being a gentleman. Their relationship has always been full of lewd jokes, and I wouldn't consider spanking her at the gym as being gentleman-ly either. Same deal with trying to touch her specific body parts when putting sunscreen on her.

Skylaroo, if a lovely woman whom I was extremely attracted to, out of the blue grabbed my junk and gave it a squeeze, I would certainly NOT consider it 'sexual assault'! What I would LIKELY do is grab her ass, give her a peck on the nose, then sternly (tongue-in-cheek) admonish her, "WOMAN, I'LL GIVE YOU EXACTLY 150 YEARS TO KNOCK THAT SHIT OFF!" Then if I thought she'd accept it I'd lay a lip-lock on her that I can guaran-GODDAM-tee you she'd never forget!

Sexual assault is not based on whether you're attracted to the person or not, it's based on whether there's consent or not.

I may be biased but I don't think I'd file charges on a woman for assault. Hell they can grab me anytime they want I dont give a fuck. Maaaayyyyyybe if a 600 pounder sat on my face without consent, HMMMMM ? I'd think bout it.

 

[Skylaroo]

You aren't that biased. There are plenty of people of both sex that would not file charge on a woman for assault because they didn't consider it as assault if done by women.

To me it would be an interesting thing to boreing day. Acually one time I was grabbed by the ass going into a meeting on sexual harassment by a nice Mexican girl. Still remember that!
