Throuple route review. A story about untapped potential.
​
This brunch caused very conflicting emotions. On the one hand, there were funny moments that I laughed at like a retard, there were several emotional moments, there was a very hot lewd scene, some things didn't cause any emotions and, in general, there was a feeling of doom for this path. I runned three Throuple saves - with a focus on Maya, Josy and a balanced path where I paid equal attention to both girls. (In all my options, Patrick's documents were successfully stolen). Let's go.
First, I want to mention the Neil thing, where DPC couldn't without his favorite drama - he created a conflict between a father and a son. Neil is slightly conservative and doesn't understand polyamorous relationships and expressed skepticism, Tremolo turned Karen mode and was butthurt. Our guy cannot react sensibly to criticism and began to aggressively defend himself. Neil just needs time to understand the situation and he was as polite as possible. But this is part of the conflict of this relationship - the fear that "Our parents will never understand us"
Structure. This path is the poorest in terms of events. Two short dates with Maya or Josy - game choose itself, depending on which girl was given more attention/more RP points and a funny scene in the classroom. One LEWD scene (but a banger). In terms of content, this is of course a disappointment with a consolation prize. The other routes are much richer and emotionally stronger.

Dates and interactions, characters development. I'll start with Maya.
Maya can finally gain freedom after resolving the loan issue and reconciling with Patrick. I see Maya as a more mature person. She has a dream and a goal in life that she wants to achieve. Family problems inspired her to become a social worker to help troubled families. Maya prefers to look at these situations from both sides, not admitting that situations are only black and white. She admits that she often pushes buttons on Patrick and was not always right. This speaks of emotional maturity. At the same time, she is ready to defend herself, giving an ultimatum that if he doesn't acknowledge her as she is, he may not consider her his daughter. Maya takes out a student loan to become independent. She is no longer a “Damsel in distress”. It is amazing how the characters change throughout the story
The ice skating date was great. This is a powerful emotional moment when Maya shares her fears that she might inherit her mother's genetic disease. She is afraid that MC will repeat Patrick's fate with an unhappy life and doesn't want this. DPC even attributed her skin condition to this. Okay Doc, you got it out of this. :LOL: This was the most powerful moment of the entire Throuple route and Maya's sub-route is my favorite. Amazing scene:

Josy. Here is not all that great. DPC tried to give her development, to gave her depth, came up with a fashion blog for her as a hobby, made her a little bolder - she started talking to Maya about the problems in their relationship, starting the communication that they lacked so much. But she still has huge problems with self-doubt and doesn't know what she wants. Still doesn't have her own storyline. I just don't understand Josy's purpose now that Maya's problems have been solved. But now it seems like Josy herself is the source of new problems. She is not sure what she wants from life, and not even sure about their relationship, not knowing what feelings she has for Maya. Even if we have a successful, stable Throuple - Josy feels down. It's like Josy now will be the next drama starter in throuple.
What led to her being the way she is?
On a date with Josy, we learned about her mother, Iris. The date itself was very ordinary and didn't cause me any strong emotions, only the video call with her mom was memorable. Iris is a very unpleasant, toxic person. A typical corporate bitch from a glass skyscraper - I had the impression that I was talking to Hanako Arasaka. And she treats her daughter badly, like a business project:

Maybe she suffered because there were always high expectations for her from her mom. But it's all pretty boring. DPC failed to make her an interesting character - even her hobby is basic AF. "Josy feels lost" is a weak line to interest the player. But overall, fashion as a hobby suits her, Josy has always been able to dress well, better than most Lis. Stop... wait a minute!

What's wrong with the students at B&R? Bananas, and now ducks... Everyone's kind of gone nuts at this place, but okay... :KEK:

There is only one Lewd scene and it is the cherry on the cake of this path - a hot threesome with BDSM elements and at the same time it is funny when the girls because of inexperience, try to understand what sex toys are for. Arieth should have given instructions how to use it:ROFLMAO: Without a doubts, this is the best Lewd in the update.

Also amused by the scene with the remote controller in the classroom, it was funny, specially Josy version :

And now about the dark things. No matter how hard I try, can't play the balance - the game finds an advantage in favor of one of the girls and sends them along the path automatically, without giving the opportunity for a manual choice. Everything is heading towards the Throuple crisis, where they will have to test their relationship - it seems that this is a fixed point in time. We can tell one of the girls that we love her, the second one will find out about it. After Bella's party, we get a symbolic scene on the couch about what awaits us:

Can you smell this drama coming? Maybe, The Throuple is doomed?

Josy comes up with the BDSM anal idea, but is too chicken to go first, "graciously" has Maya do it so Josy knows what to do.
Josy can't handle the vibrator in class, but Maya goes all the way :devilish:

- Theories say that MC's grandfather on mother's side is a Burgmeister, just like Rusty
- During the prep event in episode 5 we can see a red-haired man with (near) identical hair color as Rusty talk with someone who is theorized to be MC's grandfather. Since the hair colors are so alike and nowhere close to any other character (except maybe stock) he is almost certainly related to Rusty, probably even his father.
- The red-haired man is saying he needs to talk with Gina about going on holiday, without mentioning anyone else. Considering (so far) every first name has only been in the game once, it's pretty likely he's talking about the goth. Since I doubt he would talk with Gina but not Rusty or his wife or girlfriend (I don't remember if we hear Rusty ever mentioning her once, so let's just assume she is still alive) it looks like he's having Gina as a secret lover or something, maybe even her sugar daddy
- Tommy was close with goth Gina during the entire panty party event.

Wait. You can overfeed the damn fish? I just thought you were to keep the damn count at 100. Damn Nick. He should have never left me with such a heavy burden.
Click to expand...
Yeah, iirc this is even mentioned in the fish food tooltip, and indicated by the color of how much food you put in the tank -- if you overfeed them, it turns from green to yellow. Basically, if you put more than 5 unit of food than you have fish in the tank, each further unit of food reduces chances for the fish to reproduce. So if you overfeed by a lot you can pretty much kill your chance to get new fish.

I find it more likely that the blonde guy is Bianca's father tbh.

It could be done much better if DPC developed her from the beginning, not trying to create something fast on 2/3 of the game story.
Neil had a point here, but our boy is..you know. This is the first time MC calling out dad like this.

Scrappy's mod is literally for me to get money and that's it URM is where its at
Click to expand...
You use Scrappy for money, but URM for everything else?
  • In URM find 'money', remember it, switch to the variable list (not search), set it to the maximum and then Freeze it. It'll never drop below $5/6/8/10. If you go above the upgraded maximum, you'll get a LOT of display errors.
  • In URM find 'pp_money', remember it, switch to the variable list (not search), set it a number (say 10) and then Freeze it. It'll never drop below $10.

Save the URM settings in the top right (looks like an old-fashioned floppy disk). I personally keep the auto-suggested name as it's usually the name of the game. Every time you load the game after that it'll auto-load the remembered/frozen variables. If you add new variables to remember and/or freeze, save it again.

Edit: This also fixes the fish, Christmas gifts, buying cheats from Magnar or Derek, buying upgrades in the fighting game, and anywhere else money is needed. Dump money in and you're total wallet amount will never drop.
