I played a previous version and looked at a guide for how the story should progress, but the part on the basic path where val get's hypnotized by drake never happens. At first I thought the story had changed actions a bit as I hadn't played in awhile (Like maybe 0.50 or earlier or something), but after doing a few things, val randomly left saying she didn't like how you had slaves, and leaves, which from what I saw on the walkthrough seemed more like the control path, and then when going to Dr. Tiff's office I could give up the slaves and Dr. Tiff acted like she already knew you were doing this, even though I just started the game. I only had three slaves as well. But that has no correlation as I tried doing things in many different orders and with different amounts of slaves and nothing happened.
