What is your favourite phone fling?

[Muffles]

Curious on everyone's opinion, regardless is a main girl or a phone fling exclusive! Personally i love Renee's the most, guess i'm just a sucker for the whole "Long time friend who confesses her old feelings for you" trope!

Mine is Nova. I loved that we got to hear a phone call from her and her skater with a heart of gold personality. Also the last few pictures were amazing.

My personal favorites would include Sawyer's first conversation, the three-part series of convos for Lake that come later, and pretty much everything of Peanut's. For the core girls, Alpha's probably stands out the most to me. Luna's was nice too, apart from that surprise twist at the end.

Renee's phone convos just never really resonated with me, in part because I don't really relate to that trope, and in part because it felt like the goalposts just kept constantly moving (she goes from "I don't imagine I made much of an impression on you" to "We were basically best friends who spent every summer together" in the span of one conversation, and in the next it's gone even further to "Remember that time when we kissed?"). I grew to like her a lot more after she was released as a full character though.

I barely remember what each phone fling is about. I wonder how you guys can note every single thing down without taking a note . I would have to re read everything from the start if I want to figure how who I like best. I always have a thing for tsundere though so Cassie maybe ?

Ruri - I am small titties fanatic, so an obvious choice. My fav girl next to Pamu.
Renée - I like the design. My irl fiancé likes to sport similar hairstyles.

I have to confess. I don't read any of those phone fling conversations, there's too many of them. I click random stuff and wait for the pics.

Completely forgot about the phone call!

Understandable, the convos do seem to rapidly escalate. I think my love for the whole trope just made me look past that!

Cassie's phone fling was great, 100% fit her personality. I'm glad they added phone flings for the base game girls. only remember cassie and mio's though!

Have to admit, that's what i did at first. Especially on my old account after getting the NSFW DLC

Renée - That feeling of connecting to a childhood friend and rekindling something was really well done, even aside from the romantic part of it. It felt so good that I went and looked up an old friend and had a great time catching up. No romance, just nice to have an old friend back.

Yeah, this is true. Even though Renée is my favorite, it's with the caveat that I basically have to ignore the first few lines of the conversation for my willing-suspension-of-disbelief to be truly willing. It should really start off a little differently, like a girl who wants to rekindle a flame, not like a girl who isn't sure you'd even remember her, which just doesn't make sense given the history that unfolds.

It's also odd that you can act like you have no clear memories of her, but then you can switch up your answers and suddenly you do remember a close friendship that you somehow forgot for the first ten minutes.

That's one thing that slightly bothers me about phone flings: There's no actual branching. It doesn't matter what you say, at all. You get slightly different dialogue for one or two responses after each thing you say, and otherwise it's identical, even the timing. I guess that makes sense, since this is ultimately an idle progress game, not a VN like Hush, Hush. If Phone Flings might be what spawned Hush, Hush, I'm willing to accept this shortcoming.

I do think it'd be cool if you could complete the phone fling at least a little faster by vibing with the girl's personality and giving her answers that would make her respond sooner because she's more eager to keep talking to you. Right now I don't think any answer changes the timing, and I've done many of the phone flings more than one way. I tested this by (re-)running two of them in different accounts side-by-side, and it was identical no matter what I chose. Maybe some of the girls can vary, but not the ones I tried.

For the OG Phone Flings, my vote goes to Wendy; for the Phone Flings who were full girls first, I'd have to say the so bloody adorable Elle.

Honestly sounds like a great idea! Some of the convos can get a bit stale at points. A bit more variety and branched choices would make phone flings 1000% better!

Wendy is just amazing, hoping to get her pack to get her as a dateable girl soon!

I like Wendy's as well. Second favorite after Nova.
