best possible ending? (spoilers inside)

[Mikes]

By the end of chapter 9 i had:

Jaye:
trust 81/90, jayene belives in your body and soul
love 96/100, Jaye hopes to spend her life with you

Mel:
trust 79/90 Melory trust you with her life
love 94/100 Melory considers you as a good frierd but want more.

and Scorched Earth achivment.


I assume it's possible to be intimate with both of them, but i dont get how, any advice how to make it possible?

[bossanova]

nope, there is no more scene to be unlocked. apparently 3sum is where they draw the line

You can have a committed polyamory relationship with Jaye and Mallory in the end of ch9.
My score in this scenarios is:

Jaye:
Trust 85/90. Jaye believes in you body and soul.
Love 100/100. Jaye's love is strong enough to explore polyamory.

Mallory:
Trust 87/90. Mallory trusts you with her life.
Love 94/100. Mallory's love is strong enough to explore polyamory.

A bit tricky to pull it off. You should have as high as possible T&L with both Jaye and Mallory (in my case Jaye was maxed, Mallory was close to maxed) at the start of ch9. And I'm pretty sure you also need to have Sophie use Polygen to recreate Bandit. Here are ch9 choices:
Don't
Ask her what's wrong
I'd like to phone a friend
Go delta to reduce drag and gain speed
Try something different
Confide in her
I wish things were different
Discretion is the better part of valor
No sleeping on bed fort watch!
*any option*
Let me talk to her
I was on Jaye committed route prior to this chapter, not sure what exactly changes in "both open" and "Mallory committed" routes and whether it's possible to convert both (or either) of them to polyamory.

I had both Mallory and Jaye on a route together at the end of 8 with high stats for both and both commited to MC
Ch 9 Mallory spends the night being romantic with MC in the hut then the next morning decides she only wants to be friends with MC , No idea what brought that about

You can't have both committed before ch9. You can have a committed relationship with one of them, open with one/both or no relationship at all.
From another topic:

There is only one way to get out of the open relationship other than ending it: If you help Jaye with her college advisor, and you're on the open path with her, it will upgrade her to "love."

So if you're in open relationship with both main girls, you need to help Jaye in ch9 (choices 2 and 3 in my list above) to get to committed relationship with her. Not sure whether you'll be able to get Mallory onboard in that case or not.

And from what I've gathered, if you're in committed relationship with Mallory, you can turn it into a kinda throuple, but not with Jaye.

[Stone Fox Studios]

Think of it this way: An open relationship was never going to sit well with Jaye in particular. The only way a personality like that would accept one would be if it were her idea.

MC writes in his diary in Ch7 that he knows Mallory isn't as happy with the sharing situation as she let on, and he thinks a growing distance between himself and Jaye is probably because he's seeing other people.

This was pretty blatantly telegraphed and foreshadowed

While the ending you're looking for may be the hardest one to obtain, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the "best" ending.

I have tried several times to get a perfect Jaye score but even starting CH 9 with perfect Jaye score I still can't get it. Best I can get is Love 99/100 and Trust 88/90.

[acidrain82]

I tried several times to get a lowest Jaye score

[jimknapp]

I just can't help myself. Jaye is so gorgeous and sexy, plus it hurts to break her heart. I made it through CH3 going for Mal but after the storm it is all Jaye.

Try choices I've listed earlier, but in the last one pick another option. You won't get into polyamory, but you'll have perfect score with Jaye.

[NetherComet]

Yeah I can't get a perfect Jaye score either! Best I get is Love 100/100 and Trust 85/90 and I'm really not sure where I am going wrong even after following the above recommendations

[jimknapp]

It seems as if you can't have both - Either help Jaye with the Dean OR surprise Mallory. At least that has been the case on my playing. I don't know, maybe six or eight times. Still can't get perfect Jaye. But I didn't get the last option on your list "Let me talk to her".

Did you have max score with Jaye in the end of ep8? And are you picking another option "I have another idea" in the last choice?

You can, they aren't mutually exclusive. And you need both if you want to get max score with Jaye.

For the branch with the last choice "Let me talk to her" / "I have another idea" to appear, you need to:
- commit to Jaye in ep6
- help Jaye in ep9
- tell Mallory "I wish things were different" at the end of hangout with her
- accept bed scene with Jaye ("No sleeping on bed fort watch!")
- have 95+ love with Jaye and 80+ love with Mallory by the end of Jaye bed scene
So, I guess you can't get into J&M throuple from "both open" route.

Yeah I had max Jaye at the end of chapter 8. I also don't get another choice option like you say after sleeping with Jaye so I'm not sure what I have somehow missed

If you're on Jaye path, help her in ep9, tell Mallory "I wish things were different" and still don't get the polyamory choice, then you have too low Mallory love (you get enough with Jaye if you had her maxed in ep8 and pick good ep9 choices).
