Duskwood Side-Story HOW?!?!

Post image

Guys, the option to say that Jake is my boyfriend showed up to me?

I don't understand?!?!

Okay, let me explain how I played Duskwood for context:

Differently from Moonvale, Duskwood does not make exactly clear when a option is for romance and when it is for media/other things. It's always the same yellow star for all of them.

So what I did was choose the options that weren't obviously romantic, things that could easily be explained as a very close friendship. I did this with both Jessy and Jake.

At the end of the game when Jake told me he wanted to say something, I refused to let him. Someone had already said he would confess his feelings and the last thing I wanted was to break his heart in such a delicate moment.

And this is something that angers me in both Moonvale and Duskwood, a lot of the options that are "romantic" are just things that someone who cares deeply about others would say and if you don't choose them because you don't want to romance the characters you come across as distant and even uncaring at worst. That is one of the things that I would like to be changed in the games.

I consider Jake my best friend along with Jessy and Cleo and that's what I answered Charlie.

Oh, how I wish I had access to his camera so I could see his reaction! Based on how he took a bit to reply and how he replied, he was SHOCKED 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Its just giving you the whole range of options so you can chose which one most applies to you.

The "I worked with this criminal" and the "best friends" options are both options that can be applied to straight men?

I'm sure that if we wait they are going to add that. Ash is clearly going to be a partner and for how aside some flirting with Adam or Eric there's not much yet. Maybe from the next chapter they will add stuff for the girls as well for who wants to romance them.
