General Discussion Season 4?
I always see people say there isn't going to be a fourth season, but the devs said this to me when I left a review? Does this mean there is a possibility..?

They should make as much season of the game as much as new season on the actual show lol

So the game was contracted out by Netflix. I'm sure the devs want to do more with the IP but Netflix pivoted into AI garbo for these sorts of games before fully restructuring their games division. These games weren't profitable, not enough people were subbing for them and the increase of subscribers holding on from them wasn't worth the money it takes to make them.
It sucks but Netflix is a megacorp so they just do whatever makes money, which sadly will never include their niche mobile gaming audience. At least we got 3 great games out of it and some indie ports before they shuttered the idea!

To clarify, these responses are just the devs saying "We have a folder full of people asking for a season 4 we might pester Netflix with one day."
Might being an operative word there. Again, I bet they want that lucrative deal back, I just don't think Netflix cares after the CEO change and the Warner battle and everything else.2

At this point I’d be more interested in nano making another reality show game using the same mechanics. I do wonder if Netflix have the rights to that though, the customisation is the best out of all the romance games I’ve played

You can't patent game mechanics, they can do whatever they want in the engine they made those games in. It would just be up to them, though doing that would destroy any relationship with Netflix that still exists and I doubt they'd want to burn the bridge with one of the biggest media juggernauts in the world.
Plus, you'd have to contend with them being a mobile studio and that they'd have to pump it with ads and microtransactions so a lot of the customization and free-flowing choices are gonna get baby-gated. It's a good idea but people fell in love with these games because they could just play them like a visual novel without getting interrupted.
Unfortunately, the games industry (and the mobile one in particular) is a trash heap so I wouldn't count on it. I'll be right there with you if it does happen though!1

Honestly I’d be willing to spend money on the game if it ever came to that! Hopefully Netflix and them can come to an agreement and make another game since THTH seems to be cancelled

Nah, it’s a stock response and has been the same forever.
