I think the author wrote that scene very well. It unfolded very naturally and was full of emotion, and I was truly captivated by A from that point on.
That’s right, I think there should be many such choices. C may not need to know about MC’s hidden feelings, or MC doesn’t have to be the one influencing the relationship between C and T. What I mean is, MC doesn’t need to make choices that could be easily misunderstood as being a home wrecker. C should be the one actively making decisions about their relationship with T. This decision should not be based on MC’s influence on C, but because C truly thinks it would be better for both C and T to end the relationship, and T would feel comfortable and completely agree with C’s decision.
The thing is, I’m not afraid of that, but I can’t in any way see this MC in this situation going for that. Like, have you played @CC_Hill’s The Wedding (Episode one-four) by C.C.Hill? In that one I’m more than happy to play a messy homewrecker because I feel it fits the vibe of the game much more. I don’t get that vibe here.
I think that, depending on MC, it could be pretty easy to see it – not only they’re emotional mess, who’s been deeply hurt and can easily latch on any sort of kindness extended towards them, you can also pick them to actively hate seeing other couple who’s all lovey-dovey and happy, to the point where you can wish they break up because you don’t want to be the only person wallowing in misery. Add to this hearing and seeing that Taren is having questionable impact on Cal, and i think it’d be very easy for some MCs to convince themselves that, by getting involved, they’re doing a good thing and “if it’s not meant to be then nothing will happen”.
Ironically, i didn’t actually get much of that vibe in The Wedding you mention, because there it’s been literally years since MC ended their relationship, so any push to be a homewrecker at that point because MC dislikes their ex is just a “how old are you, 12?” moment for me.
Oh, your perspective on MC’s view of a PDA couple (in this case, C and T) is quite fitting and empathetic towards MC in the case where MC hasn’t gotten over R yet. Witnessing a happy couple while MC is in an emotionally unstable state could make it difficult for MC to forget R. What I mean is, it’s understandable that MC might potentially influence the romantic relationship between C and T, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Oooh I am really enjoying this so far, great job! I am having trouble getting my choices to stick, though… Like I chose to be a “Bar Musician” and the story keeps going back and forth calling me a TEACHER on some.pages and bartender on others. I just got to the page where I thought someone was breaking in…I chose to grab a bat…the next page mentions that I chose and the less violent option…but then after the lights come on, it says that I nearly “gutted” her and that I’ve dropped the KNIFE. I am not savvy enough to code dive, but it seems (in my playthrough anyway) something is wonky with some of the choices. Let me know.if you need screenshots, and I will restart and take them. Hope this helps!
Saw that earlier today and seeing what she said about this, I doubt there’s going to be an official thread until she can figure how to use Tumblr and this forum without getting overwhelmed. Might be a long time until that happens
God no, how could I be expected to take any dramatic scene between us and Rainn seriously knowing he’s gonna go and angst about it in his cybertruck afterwards?
