You need to say you don't like chocolate mint, and have Riley points and assertive/aggressor points. There is a walkthrough pinned in my discord channel if you want to check it out further.
All round this is a great game - well written dialogue with engaging, distinct characters and a plot that legitimately hold the attention (at no point in my playthrough was I even tempted to start hammering the spacebar to move things along).
The visuals are equally solid, with care and effort clearly put into characters and backgrounds alike. The animation gets stronger as the game progresses, and by the end it is up there with City of Broken Dreamers in terms of quality and cinematic feel. Also really happy to see the episode end on a definitive note, not just a "here is what we've done so far, more to come later" type ending.
Really looking forward to future installments, I would give it a hearty recommendation to anyone with even a passing interest in adult VNs.
Played to the current end of the game (episode 3 part 1) in one sitting, because once I started I was so invested in it, that I couldn't stop playing. Took me about somewhere from 6-8 hrs if I kept track of time correctly :'D Soooo, so far this is on it's way to be one of my favourite Visual Novels, right up there with games like Sisterly Lust, Headmaster, My New Family. The game does not just have great potential, it's filled to the brim with it and the developer actively uses this potential effectively and makes it a great game. The character are all absolutely adorable and beautiful, the sceneries in which we find ourselves as players in are top notch and not just lazy background, the writing hits every spot it tries to hit, like when it comes to comedy it completely hits all of the comedic timings, the punchlines. But when it's getting serious and mysterious it also gets me glued to the screen and invested in it. The plot and overall concept are innovative and I, myself, haven't really found a comparable game to this one so far :) The images are great and I haven't seen animations used in this game in any other game I've played so far on here. Dunno how to describe it other than like a b-roll kind of edit animation. I just wish my computer wasn't such a piece of shit, so I could enjoy all the animations lag-free ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Other than that, I really don't know if there's any negative thing I'd have to say or constructive criticism that I'd have for this. Even if there's an unintentional, rare, mediocre, cringeworthy one-liner occassionaly (that isn't self-aware) it still adds to the charme of the game and doesn't at all diminish the immersion or quality. I'd recommend everyone who's looking at the comments deciding if they should or shouldn't try this game, to actually try it out and see for yourself. I really need to stop drooling over this game now, my comment is way too long :'D A full on 5/5 for me and definitely a new favourite, can't wait for future updates <3
how can you possibly compare the brilliant and exciting writing of Sisterly Lust and The Headmaster, to the boring and repetitive childish drivel in My New Family? this game is so fucking much better than that crap, i mean, this game has new dialogue in each conversation, not just the same old lines over and over again for hours on end, this game has humour instead of tired anime memes (in the true sense of word), and has up-to-date graphics with high quality animations. from a technical standpoint, its a whole generation ahead of My Inbred Family, and the authorship is talented and unique, and not just copy-pasta from last the update
Personally I feel like u are hating a little to much on MNF, u are right on some points but still. Personally I HATE the writing in sisterly lust. That is straight up trash, 2 out of 4 from the household looks terrible, so stop putting it on such a high pedestal, it ain't that great. MNF while lackluster at times in dialogue and animation, is far superior to SL. When re-reading your comment I can't really decide if it's satire or not, cause I cannot believe someone would think SL has brilliant dialouge. Well that's my take on this, I have been rambling to much so I'll just end it here...
oh yes, im hating on that game big time nowdays, after having spent a lot of time defending MNF from naysayers complaining about the incest, i gave a little feedback, as politely as possible, on how the dialogue was quite repetitive, with the same lines being used over and over again in each new update, just re-writes of the same conversations for what, 14 updates straight.. anyways, as a response, the dev decided i was only there to bitch about his game, banned me from his comment section, and deleted all my comments (except those defending his game). admin is a child, as you can tell from not only his reaction to feedback (notice how you cant see many negative comments on his thread, just look at how many deleted comments he has) but also in the quality (or lack thereof) his writing style. but, thats totally besides the point and does not reflect on just how well written the dialogue is in this game, and the meaningful choices and quality renders given in SL, even if the writing style is also a bit childish (i see it more as playful, but with MNF, its straightup childish degeneracy and reliance on dime-a-dozen anime meme to fill his "story", with the MC being clinically diagnosable sociopath to top it all off.. and this opinion is coming from a major fictional-incest fan, i mean, theres a reason i started playing it in the first place, its not like i dont like that type of thing. as for The Headmaster, well, thats just genius, the first ever well-written, funny, intelligent, and sexy game of its theme
Totally agree with you on your "headmaster" statement. And while what you are saying about MNF creator being childish and a dick, is kinda true. I do think u are being a little biased when comparing MNF and SL dialouge. While MNF's is repetetive, and mabye a little bland, SL fucking sucks. That is not childish, its cringe, and i was pretty close to quitting the game. Glad i didnt cause the story and characters is pretty interesting. But yeah, i get where u are coming from, but still feel like u are being a little to biased.
of course im being biased, this is not a scientific discussion at all lol, this is just my experienced opinion.. and its been a long time since i played SL, and i certainly cant remember instances of the dialogue, but what i do remember is that it was a higher quality game visually, and the story captured my attention and kept it, certainly it wasnt as well written as a masterpiece like dancing lessons, but certainly leagues ahead of MNF, which i wouldnt put in the same boat as either this game, or the headmaster, and that was really the only point i was trying to make here. what i think the MNF author has done, is latched onto a certain handful of keywords, and looks to create situations where those keywords can be dropped. to be fair he is onto something in that regard, but after a few chapters, it really gets tiring, i think the exact words i used in my feedback was "it is becoming a chore to read", and he really flipped out at that.. hell, i was a paying subscriber up til he banned me
anyways, lets get back to Ripples shall we? am i the only one who always thinks the title is "Slivers" when i try to look it up? or have i just picked up a subconscious cross wire somewhere?
Hey, if that's what you think about it, that's totally valid.
Never thought I'd get judged not for liking an incest game, but liking the wrong incest game in someone's opinion lol
For me, I interpreted the repetitive sections (if we're thinking about the same one's) as something that I really like, relate to personally and had a lack of during my life.
Like waking up, having a cute, little chat with Sandra and then going into the living room to talk with Lucy always gave me a sense of security, consistency, permanence, familiarity and overall a sense of dependance.
I can see how others think of this as repetitive and boring and I wouldn't force my pov on you for thinking so, so yea your point is totally valid, but not for everyone.
Ripples is still gonna be one of my favs among all these other games.
That's part of the charme of these games, everyone has their reasons for liking/disliking something :)
If you're baiting/trolling though, like the other person suspected then I guess fuck me for falling for it :'D
no, im n not trolling, that is my genuine opinion. and i get the "cute conversations" thing, and yes its cute for a little while, but if you've never experienced a boring relationship irl that ends up drifting apart (or maybe even cheating), thats how they go. i mean seriously, i was literally saying the words out loud before clicking on to the next screen in MNF, like, word for word, thats how bad it gets buy the end of the game. i gave up the game when i realised i was starting to tell the characters to stfu out loud as i played. mc doesnt have an original thing to say after the first two chapters.
SPOILER ALERT: i totally agree with your ripples comments, this is heading towards epic territory, in fact, i think it became epic at the point he went back in time. this game could easily become my new favourite, being that the game doesnt rely on kinks to carry it, and if you were to take most of the adult content out, i'd probably still like to read the story. we'll see how it turns out of course, but im hooked for now. pretty sure that was myself in the past helping me out, and i totally wont be surprised and will be overjoyed if i turn out to be my own father, and time-paradoxes be damned :D
Yea I also agree with your ripples comment, I thought the exact same when it came to possibly even taking the adult content out and it still being the great game that it is now :)
I've also had the same hypothesis when it came to your spoilers, thought the same, because we get told we look exactly like our father multiple times and other stuff that hints at the possibility of a paradox situation :'D
It's always a pleasant surprise when I find one of those few NSFW VNs that actually have an intriguing story. They don't come around very often but when they do they tend to be EXTRA special. This is definitely one of them!
Just finished and I'm looking forward to the future updates! I tend to enjoy more interactive games however the linear gameplay is still very good and the animations are an excellent touch and something I haven't seen before! Keep up the great work!
Can I ask what's the difference between the compressed file and a normal file, aside from their file sizes? Are some parts of the game got cut off in order to minimize the file size?
I'm trying to get it done this month. Going to be a big update. Right now, I'm already at 770 images and 65 animations. Not too much longer I hope. It will be worth the wait, I've put a lot of work into it.
Hi Jestur, I love your game! When is the next update? Also I wanted to tell you the link to your Patreon leads to the discord group. Anyways keep up the great work!
so i got to the spanking scene with darci and i figured i might not be getting back to it for awhile and i wanted to give my thoughts while they are still top of mind.
the characters look great and the animation is fantastic as well so i got no complaints there. the characters personalities are fairly fun as well like nothing that blows me away but pretty solid and nothing in particular that i would point out as needing work. darci in particular i would point out as probably one of my more favorite characters cause she fills this weird niche of being a hot babe and being a bro that doesn't really get done very often.
probably my biggest complaint and as weird as it sounds is that the characters are way too slutty. what i mean is there is no thrill of the chase here and so any time the MC gets laid while it's hot i'm also not all that invested in it. if this was to make it quick and dirty so we can either get as much sex scenes as possible with little focus on the plot or to make more time for the plot at the cost of relationship development i don't think it would bother me as much. but it definitely feels like it should be caring about these characters and their relationship to the MC but i feel like i can sneeze in an given direction and get laid. i think the prime example and what probably made me realize this was an issue for me was jessica. at first i though like ok she is the nerdy girl that isn't used to attention from guys but she is interested in naughty stuff. so maybe we can get her into it in steps like maybe in the next meeting we could talk her into a handjob/blowjob and the next full on sex and after that maybe would really awaken to kinky stuff and do stuff in a public setting. but the next time i see her she masterbaiting in the open not even in a stall of a public washroom in front of her friend and then they proceed to give the MC a twin blow job in the stall. all i could think was damn where is my staple's easy button cause that was fucking real easy. i don't mind a couple characters that are kinda slutty cause i don't mind and even like crystal and skylar but when every character is like that it just kills any investment i have in any of their relationships cause it's nothing special getting in their pants and while earning their heart as well can be a nice touch to sell the relationship when it's with every character it becomes nothing special.
the time travel stuff definitely has space for some pretty cool stuff especially in a porn setting. i dunno what you have all planned but with the MC appearing to be sleeping with the mothers of present time characters then it might actually be possible that he is sleeping with his own daughters or/and could possibly be his own father. i also get the feeling that this will be a closed loop type of travel considering the present didn't appear to change and the one dude that showed up told him that he did all the things he was suppose to. there is a thousand ways in my head you could take it that would be really good so i'll just wait and see what you do.
keep up the good work and take care i'm looking forward to more.
I adore this game. The humor is top notch and so is the writing. I need the new update, honestly. Very few of these games are ever as well executed as this so I always go into these with low expectations. Ripples had me laughing so hard I was crying.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm trying to get the next update out by the end of the month. But of course, my patrons will have early access to the update and help with bugs and typos and then it will be uploaded here after a couple of weeks.
Okay, this game is amazing. I have played damn near 100 of these types of games, and most of them sucked ass. This game's story is so good! I deadass think Krystal's storyline is endearing, and I am so excited for the next update. Ripples and Once In A Lifetime are the best games in this genre, and I cannot wait for the episode 4.
Really impressive. I love the anime crossed with IRL art style, really makes this a stand out game. Also, downloading this for free was great, which means I got to test it out. That seems like a great model. It's well deserving of payment, so I'm planning to donate as soon as I get paid. Also sad to realise I'm nearing the end of the game as is (episode 3). Will definitely stay updated for more.
Thanks! It's great to hear those things, as I worked hard on the VN. The updates do take longer than other games, but I put a lot more work into it to make it unique. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It will also be free but patrons will get early access and other goodies. Check out my patreon/subscribestar or discord if you are interested supporting.
Hi, nice game, really liked it ! I'm really waiting for the next episode !
SPOILER When I finished it, I was missing some scenes in the Gallery, tried to play again and didn't found a way to unlock those. Same for the "Take control" action and some scene on a bench..
brilliant story, cant wait for more. ps: is the author aware there is already a visual novel made in 2018 called Ripples? or is this an evolution of that crappy looking other game?
As noted It seems that there is only an A and B choice when it comes to necklaces. But the picture of the game is very beautiful I will continue to follow.
Jestur, If I download Episode 3 Part 1, do I get the full game or just Episode 3 part 1? Want to play the game for the first time and don't want to miss out on a huge portion of the game.
Nice game downloaded it other day couse wonted to play it again since update but it messed up some were not sure it was game or the site but it was closing the file page down. First time it done it but it could of been the 2g but not sure.
Love the game, great quality renders and animations, lovely girls, interesting story. My only complain is - it's too short. :P
Also love the dom scene with Riley and sub play with Darci, hope for more of this type of scenes. :) Really curious about how the story will be with Janelle and Jackie, and overall how the story will go (even if I'm not really fond of time travels story)
I hope we will be able to save (and maybe romance) Jenny, some more story with current time Khloe (will we meet her?) and Scarlett would be great too. Oh, and of course some more Tiffany romance.
I'm just afraid that with that many girls there won't be enough scenes/story with my favorites ones but well, that's life. :P
Since I saw harem tag I'm really curious how it will turn out, hope for happy end. :P
I have been playing your game for a few hours now and I am really impressed. I have a few games like this, but this one has an amazing storyline. So far, I have just gone back in time and meeting the "relatives." Really hoping that it doesn't end soon because I am enjoying it so much. I know you have put a lot of thought into this game. The only thing that is a let down for me is the music. It's very short and the loops do get annoying very quickly, so I just play my own music in the background and keep the sound effects on. I have over 27 hours of other Visual Novel music, so that's no problem. Thank you Jestur! Amazing game so far.
OK, Side Note. (and Spoilers,) when Jessica ends up in MC's bed in Episode 3, she said he was her roommate? What did she mean by roommate? His Sister? I didn't realise they were related. I thought Tiffany was only the MC's Godmother. And why use roommate and not sister (if it means sister?) Thank you.

Is there any difference in content regarding the compressed file ?
i think there isn't...just the graphics I guess
Just more compressed images. Animations are 30fps instead of 60. So just a lower quality, bit still looks pretty good on a smaller screen.
what is the anime jessica and mc watch in episode 2? looks familiar
seishun buta yarou/rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai
hmm... looked more like fruit of grisaia to me but im not sure
they watch three anime I think.
1.Bunny girl senpai
2. Grisia (Don't which one of the series)
3. angel beats
Yes, it's fruit of grisaia that he watches with Jessica and with Alyssa they watch Rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai.
How to take control of riley?
You need to say you don't like chocolate mint, and have Riley points and assertive/aggressor points. There is a walkthrough pinned in my discord channel if you want to check it out further.
I was playing the the time travel sequence and noticed that phone number was familiar, 867-5309 Jenny Jenny you're the girl for me!
All round this is a great game - well written dialogue with engaging, distinct characters and a plot that legitimately hold the attention (at no point in my playthrough was I even tempted to start hammering the spacebar to move things along).
The visuals are equally solid, with care and effort clearly put into characters and backgrounds alike. The animation gets stronger as the game progresses, and by the end it is up there with City of Broken Dreamers in terms of quality and cinematic feel.

Soooo, so far this is on it's way to be one of my favourite Visual Novels, right up there with games like Sisterly Lust, Headmaster, My New Family.
The game does not just have great potential, it's filled to the brim with it and the developer actively uses this potential effectively and makes it a great game.
The character are all absolutely adorable and beautiful, the sceneries in which we find ourselves as players in are top notch and not just lazy background, the writing hits every spot it tries to hit, like when it comes to comedy it completely hits all of the comedic timings, the punchlines.
But when it's getting serious and mysterious it also gets me glued to the screen and invested in it.

The images are great and I haven't seen animations used in this game in any other game I've played so far on here. Dunno how to describe it other than like a b-roll kind of edit animation.
I just wish my computer wasn't such a piece of shit, so I could enjoy all the animations lag-free ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Other than that, I really don't know if there's any negative thing I'd have to say or constructive criticism that I'd have for this.
Even if there's an unintentional, rare, mediocre, cringeworthy one-liner occassionaly (that isn't self-aware) it still adds to the charme of the game and doesn't at all diminish the immersion or quality.

Damn... if thats what passes for "heated" nowdays, then that surely explains outrage culture
amazed to find a nod to the raven that refused to sing, nice!
whens the next update
if you join the discord in the link above and press on the announcements page it will say
I'm guessing it'll be done about June
ok thank you
Haha! I'm glad you noticed. There's lot of reference to lots of things throughout the game. I'm glad you enjoy, my friend.
Keep rockin' on!
It's always a pleasant surprise when I find one of those few NSFW VNs that actually have an intriguing story. They don't come around very often but when they do they tend to be EXTRA special. This is definitely one of them!
Thanks! That means a lot to hear you say that. I try hard to make it a unique experience. Thanks for playing!
Just finished and I'm looking forward to the future updates! I tend to enjoy more interactive games however the linear gameplay is still very good and the animations are an excellent touch and something I haven't seen before! Keep up the great work!
Can I ask what's the difference between the compressed file and a normal file, aside from their file sizes? Are some parts of the game got cut off in order to minimize the file size?
No, just compressed and also animations are 30fps instead of 60.
excellent game, many well-made scenes
Holy smokes! I love all the girls in this game, they're all hot in their own way. I also like the story. Keep it up dev!
Hey Dev,
When'll be the next update??? It's been a while since the last update.....
I'm trying to get it done this month. Going to be a big update. Right now, I'm already at 770 images and 65 animations. Not too much longer I hope. It will be worth the wait, I've put a lot of work into it.
It's going to be a good update! 😁
Oh WoW, that's going to be awesome.... Can't wait for the update.... I'm sure it's going to be worth the wait....
Looking forward to it. The story itself is intriguing and I can't wait to learn a few more mysteries.
bro the animations are great, the girls are great, and I actually like the story. Keep up the good work man
im ´laying the game and i am in a part with the sister, i just want to say that grisaia no kaijitsu isn´t a family gam
Est-ce que tu mettre le jeu en français s'il te plaît
Hi Jestur, I love your game! When is the next update? Also I wanted to tell you the link to your Patreon leads to the discord group. Anyways keep up the great work!

probably my biggest complaint and as weird as it sounds is that the characters are way too slutty. what i mean is there is no thrill of the chase here and so any time the MC gets laid while it's hot i'm also not all that invested in it. if this was to make it quick and dirty so we can either get as much sex scenes as possible with little focus on the plot or to make more time for the plot at the cost of relationship development i don't think it would bother me as much. but it definitely feels like it should be caring about these characters and their relationship to the MC but i feel like i can sneeze in an given direction and get laid. i think the prime example and what probably made me realize this was an issue for me was jessica. at first i though like ok she is the nerdy girl that isn't used to attention from guys but she is interested in naughty stuff. so maybe we can get her into it in steps like maybe in the next meeting we could talk her into a handjob/blowjob and the next full on sex and after that maybe would really awaken to kinky stuff and do stuff in a public setting. but the next time i see her she masterbaiting in the open not even in a stall of a public washroom in front of her friend and then they proceed to give the MC a twin blow job in the stall. all i could think was damn where is my staple's easy button cause that was fucking real easy. i don't mind a couple characters that are kinda slutty cause i don't mind and even like crystal and skylar but when every character is like that it just kills any investment i have in any of their relationships cause it's nothing special getting in their pants and while earning their heart as well can be a nice touch to sell the relationship when it's with every character it becomes nothing special.
the time travel stuff definitely has space for some pretty cool stuff especially in a porn setting. i dunno what you have all planned but with the MC appearing to be sleeping with the mothers of present time characters then it might actually be possible that he is sleeping with his own daughters or/and could possibly be his own father. i also get the feeling that this will be a closed loop type of travel considering the present didn't appear to change and the one dude that showed up told him that he did all the things he was suppose to. there is a thousand ways in my head you could take it that would be really good so i'll just wait and see what you do.
keep up the good work and take care i'm looking forward to more.
This game is beautifully crafted; from the writing, the characters and the animation, it is easily top tier. Can't wait for more.
I adore this game. The humor is top notch and so is the writing. I need the new update, honestly. Very few of these games are ever as well executed as this so I always go into these with low expectations. Ripples had me laughing so hard I was crying.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'm trying to get the next update out by the end of the month.
But of course, my patrons will have early access to the update and help with bugs and typos and then it will be uploaded here after a couple of weeks.
WOAH banana!
Haha! Oink Oink!
Okay, this game is amazing. I have played damn near 100 of these types of games, and most of them sucked ass. This game's story is so good! I deadass think Krystal's storyline is endearing, and I am so excited for the next update. Ripples and Once In A Lifetime are the best games in this genre, and I cannot wait for the episode 4.
Thanks! I'm glad to hear that. Puts a smile on my face.
Once in a Lifetime is also a favorite of mine and Caribdis is a great guy!
I'm glad that I was able to put a smile on your face, and I also agree with you that Caribdis is a great guy.
Really impressive. I love the anime crossed with IRL art style, really makes this a stand out game. Also, downloading this for free was great, which means I got to test it out. That seems like a great model. It's well deserving of payment, so I'm planning to donate as soon as I get paid. Also sad to realise I'm nearing the end of the game as is (episode 3). Will definitely stay updated for more.
Thanks! It's great to hear those things, as I worked hard on the VN. The updates do take longer than other games, but I put a lot more work into it to make it unique. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
It will also be free but patrons will get early access and other goodies. Check out my patreon/subscribestar or discord if you are interested supporting.
Hi, nice game, really liked it ! I'm really waiting for the next episode !
SPOILER
When I finished it, I was missing some scenes in the Gallery, tried to play again and didn't found a way to unlock those. Same for the "Take control" action and some scene on a bench..
Drop-in my discord and ask for a walkthrough. It will help reach the scenes you miss. And believe me, you missed two really great ones.
Thanks!
brilliant story, cant wait for more.
ps: is the author aware there is already a visual novel made in 2018 called Ripples? or is this an evolution of that crappy looking other game?
I found out afterward. I don't know if that means I need to change the title or not. I need to look into it.
Thanks!
no prob :) and i dont know either, i'd hate to see you getting sued out of business or something.
keep up the great work :)
Was nicely done my friend.
The only good game in the bundle.
As noted It seems that there is only an A and B choice when it comes to necklaces. But the picture of the game is very beautiful I will continue to follow.
Jestur, If I download Episode 3 Part 1, do I get the full game or just Episode 3 part 1? Want to play the game for the first time and don't want to miss out on a huge portion of the game.
I have the same question
Downloaded it, as soon as you enter and hit start it says episode 1, so I believe its from the beginning
The game is great off the rip, but you sold me with the Opeth reference immediately.
How to take control of riley?
When is the next update coming out
Should be sometime in May. Each update usually takes around 3 months give or take.
That kinda sucks but at least I love this game.
Shit I'm just download the games almost done and THEN JUST SAYING EXPIRED LINK are you jk shit site
There are links in my patreon and discord also.
Nice game downloaded it other day couse wonted to play it again since update but it messed up some were not sure it was game or the site but it was closing the file page down. First time it done it but it could of been the 2g but not sure.
I love the game ngl! I'm looking forward to see more!
Love the game, great quality renders and animations, lovely girls, interesting story. My only complain is - it's too short. :P
Also love the dom scene with Riley and sub play with Darci, hope for more of this type of scenes. :) Really curious about how the story will be with Janelle and Jackie, and overall how the story will go (even if I'm not really fond of time travels story)
I hope we will be able to save (and maybe romance) Jenny, some more story with current time Khloe (will we meet her?) and Scarlett would be great too. Oh, and of course some more Tiffany romance.
I'm just afraid that with that many girls there won't be enough scenes/story with my favorites ones but well, that's life. :P
Since I saw harem tag I'm really curious how it will turn out, hope for happy end. :P
10/10 will try to support when I can!
Can this game move from place to place?
No.
I have been playing your game for a few hours now and I am really impressed. I have a few games like this, but this one has an amazing storyline. So far, I have just gone back in time and meeting the "relatives." Really hoping that it doesn't end soon because I am enjoying it so much. I know you have put a lot of thought into this game. The only thing that is a let down for me is the music. It's very short and the loops do get annoying very quickly, so I just play my own music in the background and keep the sound effects on. I have over 27 hours of other Visual Novel music, so that's no problem. Thank you Jestur! Amazing game so far.
OK, Side Note. (and Spoilers,) when Jessica ends up in MC's bed in Episode 3, she said he was her roommate? What did she mean by roommate? His Sister? I didn't realise they were related. I thought Tiffany was only the MC's Godmother. And why use roommate and not sister (if it means sister?) Thank you.
