I thought it's predictable. It always hurts her, since you have this bench scene anyway. She is still confused a lot, but, at least she doesn't feel betrayed. And their friendship doesn't seem to have been destroyed. Damaged, but not destroyed.

When you romance Jill and Bella at the same time, then it's the worst possible outcome, since Bella & Jill friendship gets ruined as well. During the bench scene you'll have an option to make things even worse than they was currently.
When Jill asks MC "Why you choosed her?" he may answer "I couldn't choose both of you". Then, she will try to kiss him.
If you kiss her back, then:

View attachment 2630606 View attachment 2630609 View attachment 2630612

It gives you cheating points (+2) and the episode have an alternate ending scene with Jill. She doesn't cut MC polaroid photo if you did the thing above:

View attachment 2630617 View attachment 2630618

In any other scenarios (J&M, Sage or Bella w/o picking that particular answer choice in dialogue) she cuts MCs photo.

By romancing them together you're not destroying Jill. You're destroying Bella and her friendship with Jill. Bc if you played game with paying attention to details, Bella said several times that Jills friendship means a lot to her. She feels very guilty for what she did to her, and what's even worse, behind her back AND after she encouraged Jill to date MC especially. They have very different conversation in EP9 flashback in a scene where Bella comes to talk to Jill in preps mansion, depending on MCs relationship state with Jill.

You can play game for train wreck scenarios and patterns for maximum drama purpose or to get all possible outcomes and endings, but knowing DPC, you shouldn't expect any happy end from such gameplay style.

It's impossible to build happiness on someone else's grief, either in real life or in this game, at least in the long run. Karma is a bitch.

I'm not so sure. In theory, betraying Jill with Bella was supposed to be almost an immediate game over, the most vile act one could do in the game (betraying Jill with Bianca being the stupidest).

Instead, the game actually saves you, opening up not only the possibility of a fantasy threesome (if there really was a history between Bella and Jill not so impossible) but at least a possible future choice between the 2 girls

Then why should having feelings for Jill be an aggravating factor? The betrayal still happened and Bella was completely aware of it, and it's not like mc could be interested in Jill for the sex....

Maybe dumb question but does this count hours on steam if i download it here and play from extract and run in windows?
Click to expand...
Best way is to try it,if you bought the game also on Steam. Download the game here and extract it, then start Steam. Start the game and change to Steam, if Steam recognized also this game, you will see it currently as playing. If you try, tell us how it does.

I'm curious: If you were pursuing the other girls, would you be cool with Jacob dating Zoey? If Jacob were to approach MC and say that he really likes her, and it gave the you option to "approve" or "disapprove", what would you pick?
Click to expand...
I like Jacob. So far, he's a better brother than Derek in my opinion. But no, not with Zoey. I would help him snag any other girl, man, or farm animal of his choosing on campus, but not her. You protect the ones you love, and Jacob has been man-whoring it up (pot, kettle, shut up) and we know he has had crabs. Who knows what else? As far as we know, she's only been with thr MC so far, so we know she's still clean. I wouldn't risk exposing her to the unclean intentionally. She's my people.

If Zoey told me that she was going to chase after him, that's a different matter. Then I would give her strongly worded caution, but other than that, well. It's her life. He is a good guy (again, so far as we know).

Would much rather have her in place of Maya for something long term.

I think if he just had crabs he would have had a lucky escape considering how many people the MC can sleep with. Wouldn't be surprised if Quinn, or Rio, had clapped out genitalia.

Really seems to depend on general location it seems, based solely on anecdotal evidence (people I have known). Coastal campus region? Definitely worrisome. Farther inland, and not in the poorer areas, less of a problem.

I know I have been with more people than the MC, and the worst I encountered was, alas, the same problem as Jacob and the others. I should have never let that stoner chick into my bed. She was insatiable, and yet still managed to not be very good at it. I wonder if she spent her whole life stoned, honestly.

So not worth the result, but thankfully it wasn't worse. After where they stuck thr swabs in later testing, I told them in the future to just cut it off. I hear the medical field had improved their methods over the past 30 years, but I am not taking that gamble.

I feel like Jacob has done some dumb shit, but he's the most level-headed of the DIKs and has proven to be a pretty decent guy.

I don't have a problem if any girl I am not pursuing in one specific playthrough find love with someone else. I don't need to see them going at it like rabbits, though. :KEK:

As a game, I’d definitely set it up, it’d be interesting to see where it’d go. But I’d even set up KRJ with Caleb just to see what happens. :sneaky:

But if I’m treating it like real life, I wouldn’t ever try to set someone up (I don’t want to be responsible for that kind of shit), but if they liked each other, I wouldn’t stand in their way.

So if a friend of mine asked if he could date an ex, I’d say, “Go for it! (y)”

Unless she was a fucking psycho, then I’d say, “Dude, she’s a fucking psycho! Fuck her, because she’s a maniac in the sack, then run for your life! :eek:”

If setting her up with other girls is not in the cards and as long as Jacob is not the actual mole, dun-dun-dun, sure not a problem. I was happy that AL gave you the option to set Liam up, but I will never inflict the horror that is Derek on any girl in the game. Sorry, not sorry! :cautious::Kappa:

Poor Derek. He is not that hopeless. A young lad like him has still room for improvement... Or for worsening. :HideThePain:

It's a shame that after her years of college the only thing that Arieth has learned is all the words to the DIK "Walk of Shame" song. This is truly a scathing indictment of our higher education system.

tbf I knew some women like that at university. However they were doing a media studies esque degree. Basically you have to really sabotage your self to get a bad grade in that.

Derek got rejected by Wendy. You can't get much more hopeless than that.
Click to expand...
I can think of one way it could have been worse. If Wendy would have been drunk at the time he fucked her and she'd give him that excuse.

Wendy "Listen Derek, I was drunk and it never should have happened."
Derek "But so was I!! That's not a good enough excuse baby!"

:ROFLMAO:

There're no immediate game overs in such type of games, it's not a FPS or RPG or something like that. But you set up MCs future possibilities as well as fuckups and potential good/bad or "neutral" endings by making particular choices during your playthrough. And I can't expect nothing positive from casanova playstyle and rejecting the "primary" MGs - both J&M and Jill.

Knowing who is the author of this game and what's his previous game was like... You're quite brave and optimistic in your assumptions and fantasies.
Despite the fact that I trust his words that BADIK will not be as gloomy as Acting Lessons, but this does not negate the fact that his games are not like other games of the genre (or at least most of them). This ones are not about building a harem with missing some lewd scenes and galleries as a maximum punishment. It mostly the opposite.

So in the best case, this will lead to the need to make a choice again and finally and irrevocably break someone's heart. Admit, to continue it this way and then, for example, reject Bella or reject Jill second time is very low and mean, especially when you know that they are best friends and meant a lot to each other. This is what this false hope answer and kiss will set up and lead to later. Their friendship and importance to each other complicate this situation many times. So, DPC made a possibility to fuck up once, and then you're able to multiply your fuck up twice. Profit.

I bet, he is preparing something similar for J&M rejection scenario too. Since even Jill breakup was made as flashback, while J&M case is a realtime hell during whole party.

You can kill (literally and figuratively) not only with fire, a bullet or something else, but also by breaking someone's heart, betraying someone, taking away and destroying the most valuable thing that someone has or had, especially when it comes at a very inopportune moment for a person. And with proper directing and writing of such scenes and their consequences, the death of some character can be as severe as the consequences of a broken heart, betrayal and meanness.

When a game makes you feel certain feelings, when you have favorite characters, some sympathies and attachments, then that's how it is.

Oh Nora is certainly not forgotten. What I meant was, doesn't mean Cathy will return as a teacher. But I suspect you will have a chance to meet up with her at McAllens bar. Where you see her having a drink with Jade so we know she goes there.

There definitely must be a plan for Cathy. There's no reason to just get rid of her. This all feels like prep for a new storyline with her.

I fully agree with you there. I assume so that the MC is heartbroken, probably by a breach of trust.

Rox mentioned too small Quinn during the chess game so trust can be taken immediately. In EP4 during Rusty and the MC's conversation in the Pink Rose, Rusty stated so that the MC has a hard time trusting and that is a good thing. In view of this preview, which shows the MC in a desolate state, something has happened or the MC has experienced something that he must first process. The question is only, what?
