I'm somewhat lost:
I got both girls with me, unzipped during the ride, but nothing much happens on the taxi and both girls don't want to stay over night, no matter if I push the score with one or both of them.
Is that my fault or have I missed something in the club?
It might be something from the club but
it could also just be choices you make in the taxi. Try being nice, especially to Natalie, about how much you wanted to do more with her. And when you all notice you are unzipped move to put it away. That may open up a new path. Try all of the choices. Some work well, some open other scenes. The Taxi scene is very tricky and it is easy to go off track with one click.

Soo.. Just in case some are a little confused about someone's behavior...
Light Hint:
Azumi isn't there for you at this time.
Medium Hint:
Replay and/or find the Natalie Corruption path for more info
Clue-by-four to the head:
Brad's a tool for Azumi to use to get close to Natalie...for now.

I think i make all actions in taxi and thanks to that get dance and girls stay for the night. Experementing with dance options.
But i still don't get "Natalie, Azumi and Brad are all sleeping together". Still miss something it seems.

It could be something you missed in the taxi or something you did in the wrong order at home before the dance scene.
Did Natalie lean over and kiss Brad in an intimate place in the cab? That will affect what options are possible during the dance. Was Brad zipped up or unzipped when he got in the cab? It makes a difference.
The other thing that makes a big difference is the conversation choices Brad makes before and during breakfast, before the dance contest. Try some different choices there.

Yes she kissed and yea unzipped (logically). Without that u could not even get dance.
Wait, maybe i don't get it right. After the dance, they stay in your apartment and you can even aloowed sleep in your bed. But on question - Can i join? - the answer is no. So maybe thats how it suppe to be?
So then my question. What maximum result can you get with them? Because when Brad slepp alone he cen review things and think somethin like - I could do better. Could he?

Spoiler regarding the sleep endings at Brad's Apartment on Wednesday night.
There are 4 ways for Brad to sleep at his apartment...well, technically 5
- Brad can sleep alone with nobody else there.
- Brad can sleep in his own bed while the women sleep on the couches.
- Brad can sleep on the couch while the women sleep in his bed.
- Brad and the women can all sleep on the floor together.
- Brad can get whammied so hard that he just gains awareness on Thursday morning for coffee without even remembering sleeping.
A lot of the difficulty in adding this content was doing so in a way that didn't break the rest of the game, or invalidate old saves. That means there was very limited internal resources available (variables, situation tracking, etc...). So I had to get creative, but that made the content more difficult to maneuver and explore than I intended. As a result, I'm a little more flexible about hints for this Episode than I normally would be.
Future episodes won't have the "don't break me" issue and I'll be able to bring the full strength of the new engine to bear for internal tracking which should make the game feel more natural again.

This explains it. I was wondering why you were being so lax on what is a virtual walkthrough.

Interesting enough, there are aprox. 9 endings of taxi scene, and some will let you go move forward in house scene and some less (lots of the different checks in the house). I think just one of them leads to "perfect ending", and another one opens 2 more endings that go almost to the end but are not good for Brad. Others will block you more early. Won't tell more, these are just hints.

I think I got every possible taxi and house endings and score now and I wonder how Wolfschadowe's storyboard looks like when it's printed. Must be quite some forest by now.

I have used the phrase "a plate of colored spaghetti" and I stick with it.

The new home content on wednesday looks about like this:
Don't bother zooming, the bits aren't there.

I can't get to the
part where she lean over for a kiss.
I've tried everything, can you give me any hints?

not tried everything in the taxi.

Maybe something before the taxi.
[EDIT]
I tried a new savefile, and it really was something from
before...
