why is there the inc tag

And even if uìyou don't take the inc route, give this game a chance, I don't think you'll regret it.

Well, Zenda and Valeria have irritated the shit out of me. Still going to follow their storylines because harem. I haven't played the whole game yet, so my following comments are to just get my frustrations with them out.

Zenda is just a pretentious bitch who is a hot piece of ass. That's all she is. She can be removed from the story, and nothing would change except a better relationship with Athena and Heidi. With this, you'll know my last interaction with her. I kept expecting either her father or a husband old enough to be her father to show up.

Valeria...I've got Coach Bud Kilmer from Varsity Blues screaming in my head "You gotta be the damn dumbest smart kid I know." She just revealed she knows who MC really is, and is giving him the "I'm not going to out you" speech. This just took me out of the game because all I can think is "if she can find out, anyone can". These mobsters or whoever could have someone keeping an eye out for someone searching for Shelby and succeeding, that can be traced back. It doesn't matter whether she tells him or not, she will have left a trail leading to their town because why else would some random person be looking him up unless they happen to know him.

I don't hate it, I just find it frustrating. Now to got see what happens, and what the fallout is.

*edit - Liking Zenda even less now, literally all she does is cost relationship points with characters you actually care about. Better be worth it to keep the harem complete. Priorities... fucking bitch.

technically no harem in this game you cant keep everyone at most you can keep 2 girls and it depends on those 2 girls not every girl can be with another girl

me encanto el diseño y la animación de todas chicas.

This game is a masterclass. The scenes are incredible, the graphics are good, the animations and angles are good, the characters superb like Athena who is one of the most beautiful models I've seen. I'm keeping it warm, to play it again from time to time.

Great game. I wish there was more room for renaming names and relationships.

There's a 4 person ending, I think that one counts as a harem.

Zenda is just a pretentious bitch who is a hot piece of ass. That's all she is. She can be removed from the story, and nothing would change except a better relationship with Athena and Heidi.

My first playthough I was gonna try her route out but after that phone call where you have to choose between her or hanging with your new roomies, she starts talking all "let me teach you how to be high class" and I was like, nope, seeya.

Valeria... She just revealed she knows who MC really is, and is giving him the "I'm not going to out you" speech.

I'm... not sure who that is. Is that the milf in the restaurant? I turned her down. So she probably doesn't look you up if you don't take her up on her offer.

Good music, beautiful girls, interesting girls.... But I just don't like how the game makes me feel. I like almost all the girls (Zenda is kinda meh for me). But the game makes me feel bad, The MC is kind of an asshole for not telling girls that his is with other girls... then the game makes you pick one girl over another, and that makes them sad. One of the saddest moments in video game history is picking Athena or Heidi solo... the heartbreak on the other girl is just awful ( who could do that to them?) , and that right there is the main reason I did not buy this game on steam. I did not want to break up Heidi and Athena (figured there would be an achievement for that).

My first playthrough I mucked up getting Heidi and Athena and ended up with only one, and the other was very sad, so I stopped and I think I had to completely restart to figure out where I missed it. I ended that game with Heidi, Athena, and Mora (well, finished to how far had been written at that point, I think WitSec was just about to show up.) When the game was completed I did a full 4 person harem run, now that I've become less bothered by the incest tag (its so pervasive in AVNs that I just ignore it at this point and translate on the fly in my head.)
I'm gonna do a Mora solo run next because I heard that ending was nice too.

But you're right, the dev chose to make turning down the girls a negative thing, and I agree that is not a selling point. I'm never gonna do a solo Heidi or Athena run or take only one into the harem. I -think- you can just avoid pursuing Heidi and Athena and there won't be hard feelings, though I think to do that you have to choose to not do casual hang out things with them also, which kinda sucks. The cousin gets pouty and sad when you turn her down.

Great game. Had a lot of fun playing

 

[Rifter]

According to the changelog this seems to have more content in the final chapter than all previous chapters combined. Talk about ending on a high note.
Game looks really good, and the fact that it's actually done is a great bonus as I hate being left hanging by abandoned projects.

Yeah, thats 'cause there's a solo ending for everyone, plus various combinations for the harem ending. In some you're still in WitSec, in others you aren't... musta been a ton of work.

That's good to know. Love it when a game actually has a decent amount of replay value.

Just did the Mora solo ending (very sweet)...



definitely NOT playing any of the endings that split Heidi and Athena up though.

Edit: Noticed on the Steam forum some posts about people complaining that certain harem combinations didn't get their own ending (do the math people!) so watch out for that if you want something particular. (Like there is HAMS and HAM but not ASH)

 

[Rifter]

Eleven endings? That's impressive. Clearly not a low-effort project then.

Definitely high effort project.

Hi everyone. I've just published my Polyamory Edition mod for this game which is a complete overhaul focused on improving the poly romance story with the four main heroines. Please check it out if you like Bare Witness and want to see it with a new coat of paint!

 

[Coloneill]

I miss the multiply ending tag. Downloaded it before I have read the comments and the dev´s note.

I'm also a huge Athena fan. Wow she's so perfect! Not enough games have models similar to her.

 

[TimeFlex]

I to say I agree. The artwork is really good and the game is fun.

top ten game to me love the chars and scenes
