Not quite true. In ILB everyone is able to survive without diamonds. The best result I got was that everyone lives but Parker leaves the group and doesn't return. So my MC didn't get a happy ending without diamonds because he was supposed to be MC's LI. Not sure if they would have gotten their happy ending if he'd stayed because the walkthrough looks as if you still have to pay diamonds to be with your LI. Correct me if I'm wrong about that part but I wasn't presented with a choice to be with someone else without diamonds.

About Veil of Secrets... I didn't really like the (male) LIs, Kate was saved too early, the plot was only about getting clues which were too expensive, the ending was underwhelming (because I expected some plot twist after all the interrogation by Mr. Kim but that never came), and when I was confronted with either spending 30 diamonds for staying with a LI or leaving, I made my MC leave town. The game said he may end up taking the work offer by Mr Kim so I kind of liked at least that part of the ending.
