I think I messed things up colossally in my playthrough. I'm following Sage's path and have played for about 5-6 hours, and so far, only one gallery scene has been unlocked. That one doesn't even really count since it's about the MC's parents. From what I've seen, there should be at least three scenes with Sage in this episode...

I paid extra attention to make sure I spend time with both of them equally and they even said so when the matter came up in conversation. So why do this now? Why must the game choose for me only one of them when I am in a relationship with both? It makes absolutely no sense for MC to say 'I love you' to one of them and not to the other if you are properly balancing things. You should be given an option to do so. If we want to later pursue a solo path, that's fine. But if we want to keep in the throuple path, then we should be given the option to say 'I love you' to both of them. Now I have Maya sad in the couch because I said it to Josy and didn't to her even though I want to, the game just didn't gave me a fucking option. This is some serious bullshit DPC is pulling. He is forcing us into a drama that we don't want.

Yeah, it can be pretty annoying. Like, i guess i can see what DPC was going for (since if you tell one of the girls you love her, it sort of becomes a point in their later talk about their lack of communication) but at the same it can get pretty silly when you that, under the hood, game is doing this relationship weighting thing

(and in my case the difference came down to something like 4 decimal places on the rpoints/max rpoints ratio: 0.5675 vs 0.5671, and Maya"won". Which i don't mind because it fit better with Josy being busy with her thing, but still. silly)

Ohh, that reminds me. That solo scene with Maya made me realize something -- that it's possible the whole weird skin texture issue that Maya has, that people give DPC shit over... might actually be not a mistake but intentional decision. Because of that hereditary disease Maya's mom has. :eek:

Do we know who the mystery girl was sitting on the chair during MC's and Sally 7 minutes in heaven?
They are fully clothed, so how did they even get in there? :unsure:
Maybe a ghost left over from Halloween?

So I noticed the subway map in the Interlude's train car and decided to do a little spelunking in this thread. And... yeah, I think Zoey and the MC are probably Canadian. Maybe everyone is!

I presume what you've got there is MC saying goodbye to Zoey, who's getting on what is obviously a Toronto Transit Commission train to Union Station, linking from there to New York and Amtraking her way down to San Diego.

As someone else noted years ago, Bella lives a 30 minute train ride from B&R but MC can also walk there -- if it was a subway ride, that would make perfect sense. Factoring in all the stops and transfers Bella could live in midtown and MC could get there in an hour or two.

Put that together with the fact that B&R is consistently represented as Trinity College at the University of Toronto, that Zoey always seems to be very confused that she has to be 21 to drink, and the fact that Tommy is very, very obviously a hockey player and I think you've got a complete theory.

(The one fly in the ointment is that they seem to have a Thanksgiving after Hallowe'en at B&R, which is obviously nuts. DPC probably just released his episodes out of order by accident.)

Hi everyone, my first post ever. Obviously, I love this game (who wouldn't?)

Fun thing is, I go to B&R in real life. The pictures DPC uses for B&R when you look out of people's windows are form Trinity College, Toronto, where I study. Just a fun thing I'm not sure if anyone has noticed before.

I'll try to be more precise in the future but there is already a " dependent on " in my sentence... So yeah Bella :love: lives nearby B&R ( shocker ! :eek::LOL: ) which is walking distance for Fuckface... " needs " a train to get back home ( dunno how much time passed on the train but I estimate 30 minutes to 1 hour tops :p ) which would mean around 50 miles or so ( regardless of the distance I would say that is still close by though this would put dalli_x-s theory to rest ) where Zoey :love: Josy :love: Fuckface lives/lived... Now if it would be ( as someone said Toronto ) Canada a trip by train is around 15 hours which can be eliminated thanks to your analysis - no luggage and the time it takes... sooo what remains is a couple of vague hints regarding we are somewhere near New York... and a train ride which isn't long ( pretty vague too :p ) so I'm guessing where Fuckface Zoey :love: Josy :love: lives is Long Island while B&R is at the outskirts of New York ( this is where Bella :love: lives too )

Can be wrong but I still would put them at these places... any other thoughts are welcome ! ;):D

OFT said:
If you think the numbers are actually reliable, then it's possible the MC's home town might be as close as 20 miles or so to B&R. He tells Maya during lunch at the café that it's 30 minutes by train. Bella tells the MC that her house is a 15-minute drive from campus. If the MC's house and Bella's house are on the same side of town, it's possible they're minutes away from each other by car.

Which, if you believe the numbers, actually means that Dalli might...

uhhh...

could be....

(Oh, for fuck's sake OFT. Just spit it out!)

could be right.

But the more likely scenario is that DPC just pulled some numbers out his ass, and the distance debate is pointless.

View attachment 1785482 So have we ever discussed how traveling from Toronto Canada to San Diego by train is not really feasible?

Because Zoey and the MC are clearly in Toronto getting on the Subway.

Checked. It's really there, we see these backgrounds in the game regularly.

Yeah, that occurred to me as well this episode. Or DPC is just covering for the weird texture. :p

Is there a method or is it just guessing until it's right.

Each button on Side 2 changes a specific letter slot on Side 6. You can figure out which button changes which by quickly making a note or memorizing what the letters on Side 6 say, pressing 1 button on Side 2, and then checking Side 6 to see which slot changed.

Each slot on Side 6 cycles between about 5 letters. So you can go one button at a time on Side 2 until you get all the letters correct on Side 6. Press a button on Side 2, swap to Side 6 to see what's changed. If the new letter is correct, move on to the next button. If not, swap back to Side 2 and press the same button again, repeating until the letter is right. Then move on to the next button and repeat the process until you've gone through all of them.

It's a bit tedious swapping back and forth between sides each time you press a button, but not particularly challenging once you figure out the mechanics and which words to spell.

Edit: I see that BadassDolphin has added the buttons and which letter they change to their post. That'll help speed things up a little bit for sure.

The worst update ever if you play one path (Bella or any other girl) and you are not interested in playing the game 20 times for different girls. A year of waiting for a couple hours of gameplay is ridiculous. Not to mention the game looks terrible for 2025, shitty animations, 5 y.o. assets make your eyes bleed sometimes, 70% of the characters look like freaks from a circus.
You can't even PICK Xmas gifts, you're just allowed to wrap them up. God, what an embarrassment. :rolleyes:
And a bunch of incredible mini games that everyone loves so much. I can't believe it took a whole year to make this.
17000 patrons btw.
