V0.17.0.2

Spoiler

Change Log:

Should finally fix any looping on Ellie's path.

Fixes Helena sometimes not appearing.

Removes a jump from Lydia's old removed bedroom to the new one.

Again I apologise for the complete download, but the patch only files still break animations and I haven't been able to figure out why.

You may see on Steam there is a v.0.17.0.3 build, this is a one line of text change that fixes a Steam specific bug that v.0.17.0.2 caused for Steam users only, so you do not need it and it won't change anything for your non-Steam game.

Old Change Log:

Spoiler

I've tested through this many times and fixed any bugs reported during the BETA, I'll be double checking them all and if I have missed any, fixing them for v.0.17.1.
I've also played through all the paths and everything seems to be running smoothly, but there's so many variables in the game my save files do not cover them all, so if you do get any bugs please report them via Discord.

[DoobieDoobieDoooo]

Are women's sports waaaaaay more popular in England than the rest of the world?

 

[DoobieDoobieDoooo]

Vague plural pronoun usage in the largely redacted documents on the white USB serve as a second, unintentional layer of obfuscation that makes it useless and annoying. So ironic that users of the internet would make up rules that make communication impossible.

 

[Teal80]

I came late to this VN mainly due to it's title. For whatever reason I was sure that this was some nerdy backwater court room drama and never even clicked on it. Till now... LOL how wrong I was.

 

[Turit]

Nice game

 

[Gold613]

One of the better games out there, always wanting for more on every update, with how things are now lots of branching so now it is update per set of LI's.
Personal favorite is Stephanie route, both bimbo and vanilla, and definitely Ellie darkest route, Vanessa the route where you go for her daughter is also fire.

 

[dsmjdn]

is it still eating chunk of the CPU or did he optimize it

 

[NeoEros]

I'm kinda tired of this "one branch per update" shit. For players who wants to play one specific branch you're gonna be wait for a long ass time until any substantial content arrives.

The opposite side of "many fetishes for many types of people" often boils down to this is rarely for you. Scope creep feels like an INCREDIBLY common occurrence in AVNs, from too many LIs to trying to do too much in one game, and this one definitely suffers from scope creep really bad. Spreading out the content here to all the branches would leave everyone sad all the time, as everyone's updates would be like five minutes at most.

 

[SOUSA69]

I usually wait for a few updates before playing and that wait is long, but the game is good and like the BSDM.

Totally agree. Not to mention that too many branches always give me a lot of headaches to follow

 

[valkyrion13]

Wished you could take both steph and ellie routes on same playthrough

 

[Oerbel]

I love this game, good renders, variety in the character design and also different paths for the individual LI.

Unfortunately, this is also the biggest criticism I have. Due to the number of different paths, the main story comes to a standstill, it feels like you've been playing the same day for the last 3-4 updates, just from different perspectives.

However, if you get involved and really play every path, then you get hours of content here.

Can't wait for the conclusion and the resolution of various puzzles.

 

[Tinman021]

Really hope the developer wont add more stuff in for versions/days. Hate to replay the past path.

 

[Deleted member 42099]

Good game, Love the multiple paths and overall story, great renders too. Would be nice to have updates to more than one pathway at a time, but then I suppose the releases would be much further apart.

 

[potatoman9879]

- The laptop & phone gameplay can be frustrating, especially affecting replicability as it would interrupt you when skipping already-seen dialogue. The phone would forcibly pop-up excessively during the early stages of the game, even when there is nothing to do on the phone.

 

[slipperysuckery69]

Hopefully the dev keeps adding more scenes for the non bimbo version of Stephanie.

 

[giantkiller]

This game needs some kind of save management tool, with all its paths.

 

[User_64245]

Despite the slightly grindy feeling this game is really well worth it considering the amazing quality of the renders and the story.

 

[МONKEEMAN]

Besides having to have separate playthroughs to see all content there's nothing negative to say about this game
