Recommending TonyMurray's Favourite Games and Favourite Girls

Bella’s path would be my preferred route forward with Bianca.

I find Bianca's cheating more appealing in Bella's Path just because she isn't single. It seems more appealing to have her discover her dark side while cheating on someone, than just being a terrible best friend and giving into lust like she is on Jills

Yeah, plus there's more of a push for her when (presumably) she finds out about Matthew cheating with Olivia. Speaking of which, I noticed on my Bella save that Bianca's bio had a note saying I caught those two cheating in Rusty's room. Should that be the case? I thought it was only on a Jill path that they were "caught", and on every other path you don't know them, so it's just a random couple kissing...

Okay, so I decided to do an update of the cards anyway. Here is my refreshed BaDIK set in all its glory:

Those familiar with the game thread in particular might query the absence of Yoga Girl/Cinderella/Thirsty Ghoul, but until we have a name for her (potentially Nikita, but that's not confirmed), she can't have a card! She'd certainly be right up there on the top row though, I think. Leanne normally wouldn't get a card, but since I was doing a bunch of new ones anyway, I couldn't leave her out - as you can see, she is on my top row as she's very much my type.

This one started out fairly promising, with a nicely done intro and some decent renders. Apart from one thing that I personally would call a big error in judgement, I was quite enjoying the early stages of the game. There is an intro screen that asks you to input your chosen name for the MC, however, this only comes up after the prologue, and in that prologue, you have a conversation with a key character in which she calls you “MC” several times, because you haven’t yet chosen a name. In the script, it does refer to “[name]” here, so it’s set to take the user-entered name, even though the place you enter it doesn’t come along until later.

There are some nice LIs in here, and you try to build relationships with those in the household, but there are hints of things going on that have yet to be explained, and it makes it difficult to get too close too soon. As is common in these games, that means the majority of the sex scenes so far (or at least, the ones that involve the MC) tend to be with girls I would consider side girls or even just one-offs.

Not far into the story, the MC gets involved in a mysterious game that plays out through messages to his phone. A task will be set, with a deadline to perform it and a monetary reward for completion. As the game progresses, these tasks get increasingly more dangerous, at least in the “risk destroying your relationship with everyone you care about” kind of way.

I didn’t really like this task-based game, which is a shame, because it’s pretty much the key element of the actual game itself. Whoever is running it seems to know everything, and see everything, and there’s no way I can think of to explain how that is possible, without it being some sort of chip implanted in the MC (and other players?) so they can see through his eyes. It just makes no sense to me how they can see literally everything. I presume (would hope) that it will be explained at some point, but it’s too late for me as the game has lost me, so I won’t be around to hear that explanation.

The last piece to report on is something that I dislike, and I know a lot of other people do as well, and that is a choice that isn’t a choice. At one point I was given the option to go to the club or not. Conversation before this choice makes “not” the correct choice, as I would want to build the relationship with the person I was talking to, and going to the club would damage that. However, if you select “not”, the MC’s thoughts say that he won’t be able to complete his current task if he doesn’t go to the club, so he goes anyway. I hate when games give you a “choice” when it’s only one option so you just have to click it to continue, but I might hate it even more when you get a choice and the game ignores the selection. There’s no point in either of these, devs should skip putting in a “choice” and just send you where they want you to go…

i love the original one

is forced NTR?

There's no NTR in this game. In case you refer to me saying about sex scenes "at least, the ones that involve the MC", that is just because some of them are solo scenes.

Being a DIK (my review) If it was any other game, I’d probably just say it was a “good” update, but for 15 months, or however long it was between updates, it just feels like we should have got something amazing, and it falls a fair bit short of that for me.

I gotta agree with you here. I had fun playing it, but if I had to describe the update, it’d be kinda 'uninspired' (by Badik standards). Hopefully, the next chapter won’t take thaaat long to come out.

Yeah, it's a bit of an odd one, because it was actually a not bad update at all. It just wasn't the sort of update I'd expect from that long a development time. I am not optimistic, but hopefully the next update won't take as long - the gap gets longer each time, but there's nothing to say it can't get shorter now and then too!

long time update,doesn t necesssry mean long games.I guess it is depend of dev life,i played only season 1.To be frank not fan of long and saga games.One season could be enough

I 'discovered' it kinda late (early 2022), so I don’t know how long the update cycles were for the first episodes. My first 'long' wait was for the Halloween episode (I was blown away by the crazy number of 8K renders in just one update!)

I picked it up about a year ago, so I've only picked up that info through what other people have said!

I didn't look at the original, but what I played is part of the rework. There's no sandbox (maybe a couple of small free roams? I can't remember), but I can't say what's different betwen the two versions, of course.
