Erm...I don't think I'm a monster for considering monogamy, I guess its my fault for being a romantic and wanting to give each girl their own special run...
Monogamy, has it's place.

Here? With so many beautiful persons in need of being loved and cared for? It's cruelty. Pure and simple.

Mean, pointless, unneeded, cruel.... that's what it is... not romantic at all... you'll be sitting there, looking at all of them, feeling lonely and alone, and you'll be smiling in pleasure for causing all that pain. When you could make them feel loved, cared for... but no... you prefer to inflict pain.

Because.... fuck if I know...

Peace :(

Yes you are... yes you are... smh... it's that's ok though... but you can expect us to judge you harshly...

The cool thing about this game is that it's super romantic on the harem path. Heck IMHO harem without romance isn't harem worth having.

Okay, my bad. I'll just uninstall the game. Good luck with your game dev o/ I didn't really have a problem with harem, I just wanted to know what happens and if it was possible/anything for being true to the main character's original ideals.

I have a question, what happens if you fully commit to a single relationship? Like what happens to the story?

Hello, dev here.
You can play monogamy in My Dorm. The story and the dialogue will adapt to it.
Vidal the king of Pervert is known for playing monogamous playthroughs and he's enjoying them(AFAIK, he is playing three or four different playthroughs, each with only one girl).
The "big story" won't change, since it's a story about a family of choice, and the life of the LIs doesn't revolve around the MC, but the "small stories" of each girl will be different.
You can do 28 (only 20 of them are implemented right now, 6 of the girls haven't arrived yet) different monogamous playthroughs, a celibacy playthrough, a full harem playthrough, or anything in between.

I was going to try some monogamous gameplay. I should do it earlier. Now there is quite a lot of history and starting a new game will take a lot of time.

I could never play mono route in a game like this... that's like getting cake and not eating it.
I could understand it in a game with a main LI and some side LIs like e.g. Dating my Daughter.
But in My Dorm? No fucking way.

I talked to some players who play mono routes and their logic makes sense. Most harem games start with the MC cheating or hiding his relationships with other girls, so they started to hate that kind of game and, by extension, harem games. Also, being with a single girl makes, for them, the game look more romantic, since the MC focuses on one lady per playthrough.

As I said multiple times, there isn't a right, wrong, or canon way to play My Dorm. The game is built so every player can choose the size of his harem (from zero to 28) and the number of pregnancies (from zero to 27). The game (and especially the epilogue) will reflect those choices.

Imagine a playthrough where the player chooses Martha, Norah, Erika, Daphne, Meemaw, and Betty (everyone in the "initial" family except for Emma). The game will react to it. And Emma too.

I understand some people want to do monogamous paths, I just could never do it. I won't even play AVNs that solo LI only paths. First off, I don't have time to do multiple playthroughs, secondly, I find it boring.

But that is the beauty of My Dorm. You can do a monogamous run, go after just a couple or go for the harem and get them all.

It depends a bit on how the game is set up. If it's basically a harem game but you have to choose I agree but if it's clearly written for a monogamous path it can be very enjoyable.
Games like Chasing Sunsets or Being a DIK come to mind where I don't even want to go for a harem. That being said, I DO have trouble going for any path other than Jaye (+Malory) or Maya & Josie in those games :p
Then again, a harem game that isn't a true harem and is basically a cheating or "LI ignore any other LI" game isn't very enjoyable either to me. My Dorm is harem done right imho.

IMHO that are the worst "harem" games out there. For me harem stands for love and community. If those principles are violated it's not even harem in my book. For me it's important that the harem girls know as soon as possible that they're in a harem. I also think the girls should like each other, like they're sisters (nonsexual I'm not a fan of inner harem lesbianism, but that's my personal preference).

J + M, and M + J, is the ONLY way to go.... I can't even fathom not to. And I tried. Couldn't do it.

Peace :D

Wow!
Me, I can no longer do half-assed harem runs. I either get them all, or I feel like I didn't get anything.

There's a game I absolutely LOVED, from top to bottom. With one exception, 2 LI's had to be left behind. I still feel like I lost the game, sure, they were never even possible in a harem route. Yet, the feeling isn't rational. I have the same problem with food. Whatever I put in my plate, I have to eat it all. I can't help it. Nevermind that it is too much, the feeling of failure is unbearable.
Here, in MD, there's not even a question "if" any LI will be added, only of "when". Martha Uber Alles, but alles anyway... ::cheeky grin::

Peace :KEK:

Not for me. I have no interest in doing solo LI paths. I don't have to have a harem in a game but at least a poly. I want to be able to be with more than one at a time. The games that bug me the most are the ones that throw 6 or 12 hot women at you and then force you to choose one.

This game will be a major source of stress as long as the two totals do not match. I cannot sleep at night because of that.

The MC's company should fix that as soon as possible, using a womb transplant if necessary.

Oh shush... you... the poor woman has already given you 2 daughters, 3 grand daughters, 2 clones. Since all 7 will be pregnant (if I'm allowed) and some may even be multiples, it's more than enough...

Let her be. Love her, obviously, pamper her, but, she HAS done enough.

Peace :(

That's why I say there isn't a canon playthrough. Vidal can have his monogamous playthroughs, snake his partial harem, Nadira, Crow, and FG their full harem, and some masochists curious players their celibacy playthrough. Every combination is right and valid.

What My Dorm will never do is:
* Make you choose between two (or more) girls or scenes. The only exception are the My Residence "time wasters", but they are in the gallery.
* Force a multiple path. I thought of Amanda and Eva as a forced multiple path originally (both or none), and Kim and Kate as something similar (Kim, Kim+Kate, or none, but not Kate without Kim). I discarded the idea. More work, but truer to the game spirit (see below).
* Force any LI on the player. This was (is) a very important point to me. You can dislike Simone, Meemaw, or Martha and I'm no one to force them into your harem. That's why I discarded the point above (you can like Amanda but not Eva, or Kate but not Kim). Even filthy heathens erm... players with bad taste erm... players with a different taste from mine deserve to build their harem to their liking. Just kidding with the strikethrough text.
