AL ROs have very distinct story and theme, and I enjoyed them. J’s mother story was tear-inducing and gave him depth, Alexis struggles with pizzeria and Celine with restaraunt and her ex were also interesting. Ev is really intriguing and, eh, spicy.
But I liked M’s storyline overall. It’s interesting to see their relationship with MC so undeniably toxic but also strong and alluring. And their steamy scene were best overall in my opinion.
Orgy caught me a bit off-guard, not in sexual sense but, since Ev was described as “helping small businesses”. and going from that to “Eyes Shut Wide” style party was a bit weird. They are also probably the richest character from the bunch, judging by all effort with place, but one who loves slumming it a bit with food-trucks Well, I guess this makes sense, pleasures high and low.
I have a question: did you have to do culinary research for the game or it’s all naturally famiiar for you? I had to google a lot of stuff, but fine dining is not something accustomed for me
I have no intention of ever forgiving the Ex, but having the option to spend a regretful night there and be concerned about what Alexis might think of it is some nice drama. I also keep hitting every flirt option and pray I soon face the consequences of my own actions lmao.
I confess I haven’t played through the route yet, but I noticed it mentioned on Tumblr and thought I’d ask - is the E breeding kink reference/language something the player can invite/consent to, or does E go for it no matter what? If the former, cool! If the latter it feels like something that would benefit from the player knowing that it’s an integral part of the route - or the MC having a choice to initiate/consent to it themself as it may be a turnoff for some players.
It’s an easter egg reference to my first game, The Midnight Saga. Thanks for the stats, but I wanted to see the personality stats if you still have them
I think the most you’ll get is some jealousy and some drama.
Thank you. And oohhh those stats are too high!
I think if this game were a fantasy genre, E would be that very rich and debonair Vampire who just likes to have people around them and throw parties all the time.
I don’t think there will be. All ROs already have their personality setup, and the only one I could think of would be J, but they are too impatient, lol. Celine, on the other hand, definitely has Dom vibe.
This is the ask in question. As you can see I did not confirm what the poster was saying. It’s mostly the dominant Evan’s route, and he just says something like, “I want to fill you up.” for me this is just dialogue in the heat of the moment and has nothing to do with breeding kink.
I just checked and Yep, Evan used the word "breed" I fixed it. Thanks for the feedback.
Cool, thanks for checking! I feel like the new wording is more of a general crowd-pleaser (to be fair I don’t think there’s a problem with it being there, just that it feels more fun if it’s opt-in!)
I might be a wee bit biased since I used to be a pastry chef and always will have more love for anything culinary related. All the references to flavour and texture combinations were fantastic, it really does feel like you’re there in the kitchen making these decisions, I admit I got very immersed and finished the story wanting to experiment in my own kitchen.
thoughts
I went into this story being fully for Julian, but couldn’t help being drawn to Alexis and then Evan too.
I didn’t mind the after party stuff with E & Celine, but by the time I got around to reading it had already been updated with a bit of a warning of what my MC was walking into, so that might have helped.
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed chatting to Celine, (who I’m not romancing as I’m playing a straight female MC) but it was nice to see a bit more of her and her personality outside of being our boss. I do agree that there were a few bits of text that made it feel like I had been flirting with her when I definitely had not, but I’m assuming that was a bug.
The spicy scene with Evan was great and I felt it fit with what I had seen from his personality so far. During the video call he left the impression that beneath his well tailored veneer there was something a bit more extreme, for lack of a better word. So I wasn’t too surprised about the orgy or how he seemed to be quite dominant. I liked it.
I was a bit surprised about Celine, but maybe that’s because I haven’t been romancing her and so didn’t know her all too well. Although, looking back, I can see how someone so poised and professional on the outside could have this side to them.
The ending though… I really can’t wait to see where this is going. I played with the father backstory so this is going to be interesting.
Not sure if you want the character traits or stats so I’ve screenshotted both.
Thank you so much. And the screenshots are exactly what I needed.
Regarding the Celine flirt lines, I did update and hide them behind flirt stats, so if you ever redo a playthrough, let me know if it shows. I might have missed some.
Well, I guess this makes sense, pleasures high and low.
