Everytime the poly is mentioned I earn deeply for it to be reality. If I had a billion dollars I'd give it to you to make it so 😭

Lol, it’s not completely off the table, but if I did it, it’d be extra content after the main story is done and published. 💕

Chapter 7 has 30 different beginnings because apparently I wasn’t in enough pain from surgery, I needed more. Can you imagine if I add a poly route on top of all that?? 😵‍💫

I think T might get a bit less attention because to see scenes with them, you have to turn down R which might feel rude or like you're skipping part of the story?

Oh yes, I have no doubt about that, haha! As of right now, there are only three opportunities to meet T: the flashback in Chapter 4 (which everyone gets), choosing the Scandal path, or choosing to go back home alone after your meeting with Coco. Because of that, I know not everyone gets to encounter them.

The same thing happens with Chris. You have to choose a career first, and later on, you have to turn down Fox to talk to him.

(Long answer under the cut!) 🛑👇

And that is going to keep happening! While there will be plenty of scenes that everyone shares, there will also be moments where you simply have to choose.

This also applies to secondary characters (Chris, Claudia, Lizzy, Samir...). You will get more scenes with them depending on your career, whereas characters like Coco, Dakota, and Leo are constants across all routes. I feel like it just makes more sense that way!

For example, in Chapter 5, everyone will get the date with Sutton, but afterwards, you will have to choose just one of the other ROs to have a scene with.

I really want this game to have high replayability, and I want the story to feel genuinely different based on your choices. Of course, that doesn’t mean you’ll miss all the scenes with a specific RO just because you missed one!

And that’s maybe a bit too long of an answer, lol! I hope it makes sense! 😂❤️
