About

A routine traffic stop on the way to school is the spark: Parker, his best friend, and his mother get pulled over, and what follows is blackmail, coercion, and humiliation rather than anything resembling a normal morning. The tone is blunt about this from the start and doesn't pretend otherwise.

From there the story splits into two paths that diverge sharply in content and outcome, one of them built around Parker working with the cops rather than against them. Whether he manages to fix things and end up with his girl, or gets pulled further into the mess, depends on which branch the story follows.

There's little to "play" here beyond reading and picking a path early on, since this is a kinetic novel rather than a choice-heavy game. The developer is upfront that once you're on a path, its blackmail and humiliation beats aren't optional detours you can dodge with clever clicking.

FAQ:
1. Why aren't there any choices?
Well, in fact, there is one choice in Chapter 9. But this was designed as a Kinetic Novel, not a game. If you don't know the difference, GIYF. So, there's no walk-through (because one isn't needed) and, with the exception of which fork you take in Chapter 9, you can't avoid any of the content.
2. Is this a remake of...
... JohnCBB's story on Literotica?
It would be more accurate to say that this project is "inspired by portions of JohnCBB's story." It will not have all the content that was found there, and adds considerably more content than was found there. Note that JohnCBB wrote the script for the first four chapters, with Rich doing the renders and coding. After that, life forced JohnCBB to drop out of the project, and Rich has been carrying the ball himself ever since. So, if you have a complaint about something in the script, note the chapter and complain to the correct individual. (Translation: if you don't like some of the early setup, it's too late.)
3. When is the next update? How often do you update?
This story is updated on a variable schedule. Patrons and Subscribers have been polled multiple times on the subject, and overwhelmingly prefer that releases be "full chapters" as opposed to "however far the developer has gotten after X months." Thus, the update schedule varies significantly depending on (a) how much content is in a particular chapter and (b) how much the rest of the developer's life conflicts with his work on this story. The developer does NOT announce updates in advance - they are released when they are done, and not before. There are no "it will be released next week" pre-announcements. Not on Patreon, not on SubscribeStar, and not here. As a result, there are only two answers to "when is the next update scheduled?" Either (1) "it's been released to paying people, but nobody has posted it here" or (2) "nobody knows." For those who persist in asking this question, the others on this thread have the thread owner's permission to (a) tell them to come back and read this OP again, or (b) mock them mercilessly for not having done so, or (c) both.
4. Will {insert character name} be doing {action} with {insert character name}?
The author does not provide any details of "upcoming events." So, you'll just have to wait and see.
5. But in...
...the Literotica story...
Re-read number 2 and number 4.
6. I have this really great idea - you should have {insert character name} do {action} to {insert character name}.
The author does read this forum, and PM's, and comments on both Patreon and SubscribeStar, so feel free to suggest. However, it would be reasonable to assume that suggestions from those who are supporting him financially are more likely to be implemented than those from people who are using pirated copies. Also, please don't assume that just because {action} is your particular fetish that it is also the author's...
7. This is so stupid - {insert item} would NEVER happen!
This is a story, not a news broadcast. In the author's opinion, every adult game requires some suspension of disbelief. This one just has different elements than some of the other ones you're likely to run into on this site. Also, for those that harp on "but smartphones, but smartphones," it should be noted that this story does not take place in the present day. Chapter 1 contains sufficient references for you to be able to place the story in time, which should answer that issue if you do a little checking on when smartphones actually came out. And for the ones that say "cops would never do that/get away with that, I present Exhibit A: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/19/us/mississippi-sheriff-sexual-abuse.html
