Adam and Matt

Adam and Matt is the friendship between Adam and Matt seen in Carter Corp.

## Overview

Adam and Matt is the friendship consisting of Adam Peterson and Matt Ortega that is seen in story routes such as Matt's, Adam's, Colin Spencer's and Ryan Carter's. Adam and Matt have a very laid back friendship and more than likely met through Colin Spencer, who they are both friends with. Matt is also the reason why Adam and the player met due to Matt dragging her to one of his Nightmareden concerts.

Matt often helps Adam and his band out with equipment and even went to Florida one time for one of their concerts to help him and Colin out. The two sometimes hang out together at places like backstage, The Half Five and Starlite. However, the two hanging out one-on-one isn't usually seen as they usually mostly hang out together with other friends present such as the player, Colin, Doris, Lisa Parker etc. and don't have too many alone scenes together as compared to other friendships.

Matt and Adam share a bond of having to deal with Colin, and the two sometimes both have to put Colin in his place together when he is too rude to the player and goes too far with his brashness. Adam and Matt sometimes have similar personalities of being goofy and talkative which is probably why they get along, and why Colin likes both of them.

Matt and Adam seem to be loyal to each other, but some scenes in Adam's story route contradict this statement. Adam originally dated the player so he could use her to get access to Carter Corp so he and his group Safeplanet could hack it. Adam had thought about and originally planned on using Matt instead since Matt worked there, but Adam knew that Matt knew him too well and that Matt would know that something was up, which shows that Adam has no problem using Matt for his own personal gain.

After the player had found out about Adam using her, she broke up with him and was very upset about it. Lisa and Matt comforted the player and Matt was mad at Adam for breaking the player's heart and Matt was ready to beat Adam up for it, which shows that Matt would put the player before Adam as his friend if he had to and that he possibly cares about her more.

Despite this, Adam and Matt have a great friendship and the two hardly every fight or argue. The two are fortunate enough to have never been love interests in the same story route however, because if they were, the two would have probably bickered more than usual. Despite coming from different backgrounds and even having different views on life, the two can look past that and build a nice friendship.

## Trivia

* They were both second love interests in a previous story route before getting their own. Funny enough, both of their story routes came out almost immediately after the original story they were second love interests in. Is it Love? Matt came out while Is it Love? Gabriel season 1 was still being released weekly, and Is it Love? Adam came out 1 month after Is it Love? Colin season 1 ended.
* Adam is actually mentioned in Matt Ortega's season 1 (which came out way before Adam was even introduced in Colin's route) when the player went to a Nightmareden concert and meets him, but he is unseen. This means that he was either planned from the start to be the second love interest in Colin's route, or the writers decided to go with it and give him a bigger role and or name him Adam to align Matt and Colin's stories.
* At one point, they both had deceased ex-girlfriends. That was until it was revealed that Lana Escobar wasn't actually dead.
* Both of their season ones don't have a true *big bad* villain. Fiona can be considered as the big bad in Adam's route as she is the only antagonist prominently featured, but she isn't a part of the main plot and isn't seen again after chapter 8.
* They both have actual books dedicated to them, only Matt's came out before his story while Adam's came out after.
* Owen Hobbad has been jealous of both of them at some point due to their relationships with the player.
