I'm as obsessed with Cedric as he is with my MC.
Really hoping for C vs W shenanigans in Chapter 4 if MC is interested in both of them.
If you are determined to raise a specific character's Affection ASAP, you might have to make some OOC dialogue choices or other decisions during the barbecue event. For example, Elio likes a competitive MC, but it would be OOC for me to pick that for the MC I created, so I had to give up on those Affection points.
You also might have to make an effort to not be as appealing to the other characters if you want Percy to have the highest points. If your dialogue and actions are very appealing to Elio and Jamie, but less appealing to Percy, that might be the problem.
In the full game, this won't be as big of an issue, because you'll have multiple semesters to build Affection with a specific character, and you're bound to find Events and dialogue choices that work for you. The relationship might build more slowly, but you'll still get there!
I played through the extended Spring Semester demo last night and O. M. G. This game is AMAZING. The new transition for the CGs is super cute. All the characters are wonderful, it was often a struggle to choose to spend time with the guy I was trying to win over instead of one of my friends. I'm also very impressed by how the "events" system works, it feels very natural (not sure how else to describe it!) and adds a lot of replayability.
Currently, the CGs don't show up on the screen when they are unlocked. But, since they are meant to be (I assume Polaroid) photos, it would be neat if, when a CG is unlocked, there's a camera flash effect and shutter sound, and then the CG slides onto the screen as though the MC just took a photo and is looking at it. ❤️
