VN Ren'Py Yesterday's Crossroads [Ch.3 v0.4.1a] [CHAQUINN0]

[Skylaroo]

This isn't a harem game, and there is no hand holding telling you what to do and what options to choose, the choices you make will have consequences in the future. You can already see this happening in Olivia and Julia's paths.

Thanks. I appreciate the choice have consequence point, but I just wish it's a bit clearer on what the choices lead to. Kimberly's felt ultra quick when I thought I was just being nice to her and suddenly kinda being her boyfriend without me ever specifically choosing to do so. On the other hand, most other girls seem to have more obvious stages of relationship.

I'll just finish my current first playthrough with whatever happens, and then make solo paths for Michelle, Kimberly, Alessa (and Vera?), and Candace.

Do we know if there is any plan for sex scenes with the side characters like Riley, Kendra, Tasha, Delilah, etc?

What harem?

says multiple endings so my question was if there are harem included since it says multiple endings.

Nope, otherwise "harem" would be in the tags as well.

This was complained about back in Ep1. It still annoys me Chaq changed it to pander to the whiners. I love this as much for it's realism as anything else (as real as an AVN can actually get lol).

Decide to go to the gym on a Sat morning or go for a walk. Who knows what the consequential butterfly effect would be of that decision. Go for a walk, might bump into the woman of your dreams that you'd miss by going to the gym instead. Such is the nature of life and such was the nature of this AVN originally...until a small loud minority complained about not even knowing certain characters existed.

Unfortunately, the majority of AVN players are whiny and entitled and want everything spoon fed to them and every girl who looks at you and smiles to be fuckable. Annoys the hell out of me.

Some spoilers for you though....Alessa and Vera will split naturally as part of the story. If they stay together, they stay together because of the MC (throuple). Riley I believe is being promoted to a side girl but less important than the main ones but should be getting her own route now. The others I don't know I'm afraid.

I know this game has no harem, but i have a question about the girls:
Like in ep 1 you can go out with Lydia (i guess thats her name), but then it "locks" you out of the Olivia path.
my question is: do i have to reject all the girls that hes not "going for" early, so things dont blow up in MC's face, or he can keep dating them, and eventually have to set for one? is it something like "choose one, and choose wisely", or "go for it" and see what happens?

btw love the game

If you'd read just a few posts above yours, you'd have seen me say that paths very quickly start to overlap and conflict. So the game at some point will lock you out of others itself. However, to make it less messy and to make sure you don't accidentally get on someones path...it's probably better to not actively chase someone you're not interested in.

Currently there are no consequences....but there will be at some point and as said, despite how friendly you might be with someone, when paths clash, you'll have to make a decision.

Just reject everyone to be safe. That's what I do.

is there new context? because when i load my saved files i reach the end ''thank you for playing etc''

Is not a update , is more of a rework , a few bugfix and suchs . Thats why. He did added a few scenes and new phrases to the game , but nothing major . Theres also no new choices to make

Now about the msgs above saying that you guys are locked in someone paths .. i dont know what you did to have that, because i played the game for 8 hours and i had not a single problem in that regard . I have a path where i did go out with every girl ( that shit will hit the fan very soon im guessing xdd with one of them already did ). But i also have my paths of each of girl , and i didnt had any path locked.
So i dont know how you guys got locked into someone paths.

Alright , this "rework" thing , i will give my point of view . For me this is pointless . Yes theres one or two new scenes , a few new lines , maybe theres a new choice or not , but theres no impact in the story, so i dont get why spend your time doing "all" of this for this result . Dont get me wrong , i like the game a lot , the story is interesting , all the girls are very interesting and all that , i just dont get it why spend time doing all that instead of spending that time rendering new things for the new chapter coming . Im not meaning to be disrespectful or anything , like i said , im just giving my pov about this and my thoughts on this matter.

With the game coming to Steam, the dev's motivation to polish it should be obvious. Potentially thousands of new players will get their hands on this game, and he wants their experience to be the best possible. And, the same for people who just replay from the start.

If you played as much as you say you have...you already know paths conflict and clash already.....

Chaq is already 50% of the way through the Chapter 4. So...yeah....

It was done as there was forced content with Kim (if we originally wanted nothing to do with her) and originally, some peeps said was too easy to entirely miss a LI.

She kind of breaks the fourth wall here, the gallery she refers to is the one in the main menu. Gallery > Misc > Tasha, the picture you choose is then unlocked in her gallery (I went back to the menu and unlocked all the options in-game )

Tasha does ask for his number from her mom (Lydia). But it's also not something the MC would know as he was not there. I'm always torn on seeing scenes the MC is not a part of, in what's really a first person style game. It gives away a lot of stuff that I *shouldn't* know as the player of the MC. But it adds to the story and world building so I suspend the disbelief and accept it.

 

[cooldevo]

I was hoping this part got rewritten in this version. It really doesn't paint her in the best light.

The important part to remember, at this point in the story, is that you are only seeing specific flashbacks. In the conversations, that's where the bulk of the backstory comes out.

MC looks to have been with Keyla seriously, prior to Kim and Alessa. She left with her family to Japan and then they moved back to Buffalo. After Keyla left, MC went with Alessa; the MC's mom even asked about the correlation between Keyla leaving and him seeing Alessa.

While Keyla was in Buffalo she met Zeke, and they dated. When they returned to New York for Zeke's schooling, she realized Zeke was MC's best friend. MC and Keyla were sneaking around on Zeke around this time... Was it right? Nah, but it was just as much the MC's fault as Keyla's.

At some point the MC and Kim started getting close. Keyla decided to break up with Zeke, but he surprise proposed to her (for an as of yet undisclosed 'desperation' reason). Seeing as the MC was no longer available, she panicked (I guess?) and accepted the proposal instead. This decision is entirely on Keyla.

Even Zeke admits that it wasn't a great decision, due to his desperation. I'm curious to see what this was to force him to propose to someone he didn't seem to be fully into.

Was it all handled perfectly? Nah. But the blame on some of the decisions is on MC's just as much as Keyla.

When it comes time for Kim to leave, Kim asked Keyla not to tell the MC. Keyla obvious agrees to this, which she later admits was also related to her selfish reasons. So it was probably a bit of abiding by the promise she made as looking forward to Kim actually leaving.

 

[Quetzzz]

Absolutely. They both made bad mistakes. Keyla agreeing to marry Zeke is just a pretty big one. The way she still pines after the MC makes me think she only agreed to the marriage to have a better chance at staying in the MC's life through Zeke... And to give the MC a constant reminder of how they used to go behind Zeke's back. I can understand desperation, but to keep this desperation up for years, that's something else. At the same time, she played it safe. She could've actually broken up with Zeke, done the right thing, instead of using him like she has. It's not like they got married the same day either.

From a narrative point of view, I don't want the MC to be with her because she wouldn't learn anything that way. Instead, it would validate that all of her decisions were right, since she got the prize. Her decisions are of someone who wants to have her cake and eat it too, who wants the easy option. Cheating on Zeke with the MC, marrying Zeke because the MC isn't available... Time after time she avoided making the difficult choice.

 

[Rexihexi]

I have to admit when I was starting to play this game I wasnt expecting it to be the way it is. Reminds me a lot of Summers Gone. Great intertwined story, great music. Visuals might be not on the same level and I have to admit that it aint a game same as SG for "having fun". Looking forward for the next chapter. Keep up the good work, Dev.

You could argue that MC and Keyla deserve each other tho

Maybe... What he did to Zeke wasn't great, and I'd categorize that under youthful mistakes. Certainly with him, as far as we know, having been loyal to Kim for years. If memory serves, he also took the initiative to break things off with Keyla.

Dunno, i consider fucking your best friends fiance regularly behind his back, never coming clean about it and letting him marry the girl whos cheating on him all the time without mentioning anything preeeeeeettty bad

Its kinda willingly dooming Zeke to a shitty relationship no matter what due to a reason the mc created in the first place

Some may argue that Zeke maybe cheated too but in this case it would just have been one more reason to tell both of them to NOT MARRY if they are really supposed to be his friends lol
