Just finished most of my playthroughs(5 LIs + Lily + NicolEnvy + Sarah + Melanie + Riona + ManWhore | 11 total). I don't know what I was expecting but... I'm kinda disappointed. Normally, every single playthrough was very different, characters' scenes were different, your interactions with them were different. In this update however, this was not the case.

If you have 2-3 playthroughs, this update is excellent. There is a lot of content, looks amazing, progression is meaningful on most characters. But when you play almost every different route, it was extremely repetitive. I'll try to bitch & praise about them in their own sections (in order of my playthroughs).

I'm guessing this won't be short, so I don't want to put everything in one spoiler block to become invisible. But I'll use inline-spoilers as much as I can. But if I miss something,

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

Sage

This was the first one I played. It was amazing if you ask me. The hairstyle change was a pleasant surprise. She acted a bit weird bc of her parents, but that's understandable. She also was a little bit overly dramatic about Zoey but that's understandable too. You had the chance to select the ILY scene or the Camila 3some scene which I believe was a great natural progression on whether you continue to flirt with others or stay absolutely loyal. Since this is the first one, Repetition was not clear to me, but even after the other ones Sage route may still be the most original one.

Josy & Maya

Repetition is the most unbearable here. First you–for some reason–spend some with only one of them (No matter your previous decisions, you can only select one of them not both or neither. I actually checked the code to make sure, there is no way to keep focus on both of them). During this scenes, you accompany them with their hobbies. Then you comfort them about their mommy issues. Then you ILY them too, just like in the Sage path. At this point, I though that "okay this was a bit cheap, but josy route and maya route are not really different routes. Just preferences. So little bit repetition is a-okay.

Also, my main problem with this route was sudden prioritization of "realism". In the previous episodes–if you played your cards right–you can continue the 3some without any major drama. Sure there were some dialogs and scenes about possible jealousy btw characters but those were almost always avoidable–depending on your choices throughout the games. Not only that, you were even talking about possible 4somes. But in this episode, there was unavoidable drama. The game FORCED you to a "solo" path with one of them and it didn't even prompted you to choose one of them. It just assumed one for you. To be clear, there isn't any break-up yet but it's clear that that's where we're going. This instant decision to make things more real felt extremely out of place–especially when the game is still okay on accepting porn logic on so many other plots.

Bella & Jill (seperately ofc)

The repetition became a real problem after I finished these 2 routes. In both of these routes, you go to the exact same vacation, sleep in the exact same bed, fuck in the exact same time and space while the remaining two characters joke about the same thing at the same time. I mean really? Truth be told, each of them has seperate scenes of their own but it was basically the exact same experience with just different models and slightly different dialog. But at least Bianca exists so these routes are pretty great :love:. On another note, I was surprised that these two didn't have their own versions of ILY scenes like the other LIs.

Lily & NicolEnvy

LILY ROUTE IS THE FUCKING GOAT. It has the most story to tell by far. The looming "aloofness" problem from the previous episode was very well done. But I'm afraid we won't see much of this path in ep12. I'm guessing DPC is trying to balance the Others routes. We didn't see Sarah and Melanie much in previous episode so they were more active in this one. We have seen Envy quite a lot so far, so she was relatively absent in this one. Lily was pretty important until this point, so I'm not expecting to see her in the 12th episode.

I'm guessing that she will be cold about the relation that you have and avoid you the entire epsiode, but at the end you'll either breakup or kiss & makeup.

Sarah & Melanie (again, seperately)

This was unnecessarily repetitive. These 2 are heavily connected with each other. So them referencing each other, some heavy callbacks, parallels, etc. are fine. But these were almost identical. For example in the dorm party episode, DPC had a chance to make them exact copies of each other but decided on otherwise. He created the fuck-zone for Mel and focused on the glory hole for Sarah. In here, both are in drought, horny. So you make a move on them, they jump on the oppotunity. They drag you to a secluded place. They're pleasantly surprised if you kiss them. You fuck. If you kissed them, you become closer. Even message with them for the first time in the entire game. I didn't play the Camila version but that may be the same too.

Also on a side not, I have NO IDEA why but you cannot progress with Camilla if you told Derek that you fucked Jade in ep4. I didn't really investigate why but that's the case. Any clarifications would be appriciated.

Riona

Sadly, she doesn't have any scene with MC, unless you count the unreplied message text appearing on her phone at the end.

Quinn

I didn't played this yet but it's kinda funny that DPC basically made this to Quinn stans

View attachment 4630490

ManWhore

This route is also the fucking G.O.A.T. You can now fuck almost every somewhat attractive NPCs in the game. No drama, no bs–aside from Zoey, just plain good fun. ALSO, the sudden burst of "realism" bothers me here too–well not here but something related to the party. In the party, you can fuck Lily, Becky, Tiffani, Tara in a single night(I didn't actually test this but I think you can). But when it comes to Sarah and Mel, you need some time to get it up again. DPC, bro, please be a little bit more consistent.

Fun fact: if you fucked Tara in the glory hole scene with sarah in the dorm party, She thinks that, the dick she got from the glory hole is bigger than your actual dick in this episode. :D Real thing can't compare with her fantasies I guess

General BS

I don't know why but this episode felt a lot more formulaic and populist. The fact that he spoiled every major scene on Steam previews surely does not help. Also, the fact that the 5 LIs are suddenly best-friends feels out-of-place. When did those fuckers get so close??? I don't have a problem with it–Sage joking about an orgy with them actually great :KEK:–but it just seems forced.

Complaints aside, it was still fun and great–just could've been much better. At least we'll guaranteed to learn about what the hell Bella hides behind that door. I'll play a Quinn route and a possibly a Zoey route eventually. Wonder what I'll complain after I play those :BootyTime:. And yeah I just complained about a porn game for at least 1 page worth of text, don't kick me when I'm down :HideThePain:
Actually tara says she's had a bigger dick even if you didn't fuck her in the glory hole.

Man, I'm glad you all are helping with bug fixes, puzzle boxes, the guess who mini-game, the math homework, etc. But where are all the Party Planner solutions?

I've only found two different layouts, highest I can get on either is a 6.0

Edit: I did manage to get a 6.5. With Multiplier Madness this should be a slam dunk S.

View attachment 4623446
You can get this one to 6.75 with a couple minor tweaks:

1741569888420.png

For what's worth there's 5 layouts in total and game picks one of them randomly.

There could be some code in the console to change the party layout in...
There is.
pp_seed = X
where X is a number in 0-4 range. Type that into the console before the puzzle starts. The layout pictured above is 3 iirc.


I saw how many of you didn't like Sage's new hairstyle. I just don't get it

Look at how cute she is omg
IKR. Sage was already up there in top 3 for me, but this new look is hitting all my weak points for massive damage.


Zoey's confession of love is really the third time, but it gets "paused" until he can think about it some more.
It's not really paused. At the end of the episode MC auto-opts to choose Zoey and texts her about it. He just wants to make it a face-to-face thing, so that's something for Ep.12. But the game already makes it pretty much official with the end-of-episode screen:

1741570487845.png

And the thing about Zoey... I didn't do any path that I return to her, and I'm even confused... What DPC meant by "return to Zoey?" Is it to automatically become her boyfriend (and fuck—in the bad sense of the word—your girlfriend)? Or are you just gonna roll with her and have a double life?
Given the above it's the former, by the looks of it.


The bad: the main character, there are some situations where DPC makes him a shit character or stupid character like HOW TF YOU STILL HAVE HIM VISIT ZOEY WHILE IN A FUCKING RELATIONSHIP IN THEIR HOME?
If there's anything that makes the whole thing stupid, it's how it's selectively applied just to Zoey. Hey Sage, you know who else are MC's close girl friends with whom he's literally had sex with? It's Maya, Josy, Jill or Bella. The girls MC regularly hangs around on his own with. The girls he has potentially fucked and broke up with in order to be with you, which pretty much makes them something of his exes. Girls whom you regularly hang around with rather than throw fits how inconsiderate it is for the MC to be seeing any of them in private when you're his current girlfriend.

"Oh but Zoey might want to try to get MC back!"

Yeah, just like Josy keeps pining after Fuckface and tries to hang out in pillow fort with him in her underwear. As usual, you don't have a clue what's going on right under your nose. Keep instead selectively getting hysterical over the one girl MC will auto-rejects if he told you he loves you, smh.

I don't believe you can have sex (or at least fuck) with Jill until after the Choice, right?

Oh you are absolutely right. Unless I missed it, he just hasn't said it in a present-tense yet. He tells her earlier, that she was his first love and that she was his girlfriend before he realized it. But I don't think he's outright said "I love you" to her yet. I believe Josy and Sage are the only two you can actively say it to thus far.

I agree it's likely a done deal, and the next time he sees her it'll be said. Barring any outside forces interrupting things.

Well, the bets are open to find out what Bella is hiding in the mysterious room.

-The room of a child who never arrived. (or if he did, he died)

-Corpses of students she has seduced and murdered later. (¡Tremolo run!)

-A sexual dungeon. (Rwaarrrrr!)

-Perhaps proof of some frustrated dream that she was never able to fulfill (¿A clown suit and a flower that expels water?)

-An erotic library full of netorade books (I delete the game immediately and never play a VN again in my life)

We will know in 2026...
I'm still betting on either a children's room (either living or dead), or a memorial space for said child.

They wrote a song to her:

Sorry, girl, but you missed out
Well, tough, luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye

I see the soul that is inside

Honestly, no idea. I have ended that path early in my play through but from what i vaguely remember (from the game and this thread) i believe you're right at least as full sex goes. But there is some sexual stuff that can happen earlier from what i remember -- between Jill's getting herself off in her sleep on Fuckface's hand, to them fooling around in Isabella's house.

I've made some digging in the files of the episode and I've come across something that I can't see were in the game it take place. I've don't play all branches so maybe that's why but I'm pretty sure I've play that branche specifically

I don't have seen some related render so it is in game or just unused by DPC ?

That's a flashback you can get if you choose to hold cucumber competition and pick Zoey to participate. It's her and Fuckface in the past.

No way, fuckface has literally lived with her, spent weekends over and we now know that she doesn't even has close relatives to take care of a kid.
I guess she could still hire a nanny sure, but would it even make sense?
Why go to such lengths to hide a kid from everyone?

Too bad for that band, in my play through the story ends with Zoey being the one who's got the last laugh. :whistle::coffee:
