But this isn't a plain book! it is a choice based adult visual novel. L&P has the ultimate choice in deciding what to offer us, and he did offer us a choice in this case. Each and every player of this game has a choice - either go with a car or via the subway. It's a choice just like any other choice in this game. If you don't want to lose any render L&P made, just play all choices in several playthroughs (or use unren). No one is forcing you to choose the subway. If you feel it's stupid and unrealistic, just click the other option.
This whole debate reminds me of some extreme ntr haters, which never plays a game with ntr, even if it's absolutely avoidable, just because it's there...
And about the game being realistic - because it's an adult VN featuring many fetishes, including incest in the course of 30 days, it's quite obvious it isn't going to be realistic. As almost everything, realism is relative and this VN is relatively more realistic than most (if not all) incest games/VNs here, at least in my opinion.
ask KillJoys , he runs the AWAM Beta Testing Program.
His claim was class and realism. Therefore, he can get called on it any time he fails and praised any time he succeeds. All the choices and results are his. None of us wrote the story. We are in his realm. If you think that your choice is actually your choice you are sadly mistaken. Were you/we given the choice to avoid the subway and take a taxi. NOPE! Whose choice was that. It was L&P to drive the narrative he wanted. It is simple if you "Open you mind. Open you mind Quaid". Endex

But there was a choice to avoid the subway scene. It could even be ended quick if people chose to go that route. Don't blame L&P if you chose all the choices that led you to the point there. That's all a you problem. If you failed to recognize those choices which happened much earlier in the game, that responsibility lays squarely upon your own shoulders. Go read the walkthrough if you need to know where those specific choices are.

This is why we need faster releases. We get bored and bad things happen. Some of us fiddle with our avatars while others get into endless debates over nuances to the story that sometimes rival L&P's own efforts. The crux of the problem is the same, we're bored and need our fix.

She warned her about roaming on those streets not the subway station. On a bad day nothing is safe, Even ones own house.
What bad situation did she see. Could she foretell that the subway is empty at a reasonable hour or that she will he attacked. When she enters the subway she too is surprised at how empty it is. Giving you the impression that it was not the case in her previous city. If I move to a new city and decide to take the subway I would consider using it based on my experience with the transport in the previous city, not automatically assume that I going to get attacked.
It's just like how as an audience of a horror movie when you see MC go down the cellar of his own house when he hears a noise, most people call him dumb or and idiot not considering that they as an audience are aware there is actual danger not the MC. Hence most people call it unrealistic not stopping to think that it would be logical thing for the MC to do.
As for the option of the taxi, why not also have an option of calling Liam to come pick her up. If he can't then Carl or Patricia. Then an option to directly take the bus and also an option of Claire considering to drop Sophia home as she is concerned for her safety and of course we have the option of her taking her own car. Let's have 200 renders of Sophia having realistic options to go home because In a real world she definitely would.
Because until L&P gives us every choice possible in the world for the situation it isn't realistic and it is basically his choice not mine.
He should have also given a choice for the way Sophia is dressed for the "Damn Biker Bar" as I and many others find it unrealistic.
If we sit down to pick apart the scenes and try to provide solutions for every situation in the game, there will hardly be a scene left. For god's sake there are solutions to every Saw Movie Trap. So what would you say, that was unrealistic as well because all of those had a solution to them, a way to avoid their deaths and it didn't occur to the people. If things don't happen the way that they do there is no story to tell.

We have now moved onto complaining about the Subway scene, wtf?
Talcum Powder made a good point about it already, can we just move on?
At the end of the day its an adult game, do we really have to take it so serious?

Im still wondering why the bar scene is going to take almost 2 months to do given that the bar is a preset and the only different things are the stage which takes 5 minutes to do + add new drums and guitars, the rest is just props on top of tables.
There's 15 new background characters, lets say he did 2 a day (which is terrible but anyways).
Im wondering what the remaining 6/7 weeks are for, probably going to cure covid while he's creating scenes and rendering. It's ridiculous.

Why do you think I've been suggesting he's been draping the biker's pants around their ankles? Something pointless and stupid, completely unerotic, but classed as "artistic", perhaps even "hot". And takes a lot of time. Particularly if he's using pants that aren't designed to drape, like the yoga outfits for that event.

I'm inclined to agree. I understand that the attempt at "realism" sets this game apart from most other games, but at some point we have to balance the attempt of realism with entertainment. I mean, let's be honest, none of this is realistic- it's just realistic in the context of a porn game. And while I mean no disrespect to L&P, he isn't writing a modern day epic novel, he's making smut. It's good smut. But it's smut. At some point this game will probably become too ridiculous for most of us and we'll miss what it could have been, but let's face it- the realism has been slipping away for a while. Either you can roll with it or it's a deal breaker. Neither option is wrong, but at some point you just gotta save your breath.

Its probably still more realistic then most or maybe even all other games here but I can't be sure on that 100% but I'd guess its more realistic then most especially when you add this slow burn instead of "omg I just saw this big dick and now its inside my virgin body".
I mean look at the last 2nd job event, "You teen/preteens don't know how to jerk off? Well I'll just show you, fuck it" granted she wasn't jerking them off for pleasure but for teaching but still.
Regardless its an Adult game which is why I don't see the need to take it so serious when it comes to the size of a bag, distances between places, types of clothes, or the subway event.

shit's easy now, just use fit control and then fix with the meshgrabber
This is the only VN/game that I take even remotely seriously. That's because I used to read erotic novels, novellas & short stories. Eons ago I also used to enjoy erotic films. You had to look to continental Europe for those, as what came from the U.K. was mostly dross, though to be fair, so was a lot of what came out of Europe. As for the U.S., apart from one or two noteworthy exceptions, it was about as adept with eroticism as the U.K. I'm not talking about straightforward porn but about erotic cinema, i.e. real actors, proper scripts, engrossing stories & decent production values.
When AWAM began, with its' ambitious mission statement, it seemed as though we were changing up from the usual 3d porn game to something approximating the best of erotic cinema in 3d render form, or witnessing a good erotic novel in pixel form. It was captivating & this is where I started to take it more seriously than the games I'd played until then. So for a while this appeared to be a bit of a breakthrough & as I liked to think of it, "an erotic story, written by an adult for adults." That it wouldn't be ideal for me, or anybody else, was a given but for a time it really hit those markers of class, style & realism & with the familiar excellent renders.
I'm not sentimental about games. This week I deleted a range of stories that had the common denominator of having last had an update over 6 months ago. I move my patronage on Patreon to where stuff is being produced, rather than wait interminably for a creator to upload something worthwhile, if they appear to have stopped, or slowed to a crawl. It's the reason I don't support AWAM financially, though I'd be happy to do so if updates were predictably frequent.
As I've said elsewhere, I can't quite put a finger on where this game started to change into something more closely resembling the usual 3d porn game, with stereotyped characters & unlikely scenarios. Everyone, if asked, would probably have different ideas on this anyway & I don't wish to start another debate. If, however, I had to pick a point at which it's slow, subtle morphing began, then, for me, it would be the moment Sophia got her breasts out for Dylan to view. I was suddenly struck both by the ludicrousness of the situation & the sheer size of the on-show mutant mammaries. I didn't complain back then but was a trifle surprised when no-one else did. [Yes, I know I've made up for it since.... free speech etc.]. So, this was the new norm?.....Yes & then it got worse.
Since that event L&P has by turns delighted, frustrated & at times sickened me but I'm still here, largely out of curiousity but still 'serious' because I never even considered deleting AWAM in this week's overdue cull of the 'too slow' games.
