Can't believe some of the hate this game is getting. It's one of the best games out there, especially now that some of the classics have been taken out of the running!
Great girls, great images, sound and music included, and so far an entertaining enough story and character development. If you find the story slow, use the skip button. If you have trouble getting the needed points, use walkthroughs!
Honestly your comment made me give it a try an I honestly loved it the music at the end of every episode seemed silly at first but after EP 9-10 I gotta say it fits well the story is great an not what I expected at all I mean unlike most games of this genre it actually gets better the more you progress an it completely shattered an doubts I had about it 10/10 game in my book can't wait for the next update
given the scope, style, and apparent goals ov the the suthor, i doubt ntr will be added. more likely (and even then, not by much) it is more likely it will add open releationship favoring theb male, not the females.
I believe this was my first itch.io vn way back, I think around ep6 - 7, and what I remember was the feeling that everything just dragged on and friggin on, not that the content was bad but like it just felt like it really wasn't going anywhere, and there weren't any real scenes.
Before I put myself through that again, would anyone say that there's been significant improvement since 6-7?
I ran into the same. No matter what I tried, including walkthroughs, I can't get Emily the final two corruption points from around episode 6 or 7. Still, doesn't seem to harm the process though. Here are two decent walkthroughs. https://www.mejoress.com/en/halfway-house-walkthrough/ There's a second great one but this forum won't let me post the link. Search this and the 1 link that pops up is the correct link. It was written by the game's author it seems and explains most choices in detail.
Not really if you are looking for sex-scenes. The story and the characters are great but the game is dragging along with endless conversations and some erotic but not exactly lewed scenes. For the the climax with Emily you have to wait until the end at EP 10 and then it's not really a full sex-scene. It is quite an interesting erotic story with several opportunities to have sex with women but the MC not really succeeds. The path is always cut short and no more then an opening for future continuation but if the story goes on at the same speed you need about 50 episodes. I might risk $5 for an update but surely no more.
Right, so it sounds my impression stands. Not that it MUST have sex scenes, but like you said, the conversations drag. Like 2/3s of the written content could be slashed and the result would flow so much better. Of course then you'll have somebody complaining about it being too short, I'm just a quality over quantity type.
Terrible fucking argument, this IS a porno in VN form, as admitted by the creator of this fucking mod themselves. Too many pretentious dickweeds in Adult VNs trying to make this brand of entertainment something that it's not, couldn't hack it in the non-erotic entertainment industry so they try to make it in stuff like Adult VNs with their endless dialogue bullshit that ultimately leads nowhere.
Sex is the meat and potatoes of Adult VNs, the story and dialogue are important but only in the fact that they're supposed to ENHANCE the sex and the relationships with the characters you're fucking. What morons like yourself don't understand is that it's perfectly feasible for an Adult VN to have a great story without forgetting what it ultimately is, and frankly many Adult VNs are guilty of exactly that, forgetting what they are.

For those players who cannot pass the point checks, I recommend following walkthrough.Believe me, this game is the most well-made 18+ visual novel I have ever seen on this site, and it is actually free!
Followed multiple damn walkthrough and still didn't have enough points for Ashley to open up to me in the garden! Same with Emily in the kitchen. Does ANYONE know how the points work? I can only hope the dev does a walkthrough, because no other walkthrough gets it right!
you can fine a PDF online wich gives you detailed info of the checks. This is the best i can give you right now. Go trough this and make some notes of requirement scenes. Those that are in later checks as requirement. When you reach them, save the game beforehand so you can go multiple paths and trigger each event. Also recommend saveing after each chapter for each path for when you mess something up. Split them on multiple sites so you can differ the paths later on. Takeing notes in these games is never a bad thing.
I'm losing interest because of the point checks. I make all the right choices it seems and I've played it through and it just doesn't matter if i make the seemingly good choice. it would be easier if there was a skip button to get to all choices and scenes faster because i still don't know what I'm doing wrong in the choices i choose. maybe its my fault but im utterly confused
Yo! I just wanna say that I really enjoyed playing the game. So far I loved all the characters and it's really hard to chose one if they have solo routes in the future. There some things that are will be useful if implemented but nonetheless everything is working fine so far.
I just really don't understand the point system here. I tried to select the best possible outcome and yet I still see that my points are not increasing. I give the dialogues more thought than what is going on my life right now lol.
Just a lil suggestion tho instead of putting the stats at the end of the episode why don't you make it accessible anytime. Like having a heart icon which will show the points for each characters. As much as I enjoyed the story I think this game is hard to play compared to other games like Eternum, My Bully is a Lover, Murmur, etc. I'm just saying that with my suggested feature you'll be able to track your progress anytime and be able to unlock scenes. Tbh I haven't unlocked some scenes there.
Just a suggestion tho. Don't sweat it. Once again everythint is great and the story is awesome so far. Hope for more updates in the future and more Doc/Nurse content or atleast a love route for Ashley lol.
Am i doing something wrong or what? I always get point check failed with emily when she is sleeping in my room after she threw that bottle. I tried to max points with her but still it's failed, someone know if it's a bug or something?
yes, read a walkthru, if you get rejected so early it's probably because you said sorry twice in the kitchen in episode 1, don't, and, always look for CP, don't bee too nice, to anyone, grab tits and asses when you can, and you will have fun with all three of them, and posibly others as well, but of course, if you are like me, you want emily, so, don't say sorry, but lean on her shoulder, and go home with her from the discotheque, sorry if i said to much...
Thank you, it might be I was too nice and only followed the path for Emily up to the end. So I might have neglected those numerous chances with tho other girls. So I will just give it another try and start all over again.
I'd like to know how the point system works. Given the game has barely any choices. Like the game didn't let me talk to Ashley at all, so how did I not have enough points for her to open up to me in the garden? I could give other examples. It doesn't seem logical.
This is a very good game, i like the dialogues, the humour, the comedy, is very hard to find a visual novel creator who has a good sense of humour or puts some humour in his creation. But "Where the heart is" is the funniest for me, top 1 in that aspect, this one goes right to second place.
My first comment ever! Question — How can I download from Mega WITHOUT installing the app? I was able to install games through just my browser recently, but now it seems I can't at all because Mega's demanding me to get it because the file size is supposedly too big. Some weeks ago I had actually gotten the app but couldn't figure out how to download any games from here from there.
To Download Files from Mega bigger than 2GB you can use Chrome or Copy the Link to Mega and past it in an new browser Tab. Tested it in Firefox an it works for me. Hope it also works for you.
if on love route with Emily, does messing about with Samantha and Ashley (and possibly other girls) closes some options with Emily (or gives less content)? I mean at least to the point where you have some sort of branching/big choice with girls (don't know because haven't finished game).
I'm wondering if I'm missing out on Emily love route when i entirely skipped Samantha, Ashley and other girls (or to rephrase - is it safe to play with other girls on Emily love route)
If I recall, you cannot do the love route with Emily unless you also court Samantha because one of the scenes to max love points for Emily is on the Samantha route.
Its a bit disappointing that maintaining a balance between friendship and corruption is only resulting in failing each and every pointcheck with em, while she still behaves like a girlfriend plotwise.
So, between April 2022 and August 2023, this update took a full year and 4 months to come out. The earliest update I can see is episode 3 from August 2019, 4 years ago. The intervall between updates has also nearly tripled from the previous 3-4 months per update. How long for the entire game?
Would it be wise to download this, painstakingly replay the 9 episodes several times to find the optimal path again, get a few minutes of extra content, only to be waiting another year or two until the next update comes out?
I'll pick this back up when it's done... if that happens before my balls get too wrinkly to work anymore. Ain't getting any younger over here.
It's literally a free game and you're complaining? Yes, there was a wait for the update, but the developer doesn't owe any of us anything. Simple as. Posting ungrateful comments like this will not encourage them to update the game any faster in the future.
Is it a free game? Nobody is paying him to make it? That Patreon is decoration then, hm? Get real.
It's not ungrateful to question whether the game will be done within a decade - not when it's already been four years and development is continuously slowing down.
If you enjoy being blueballed for years, that's a weird fetish, but totally fine. You do you. However, it is just as fine to say that at some point, enough is enough. Learn to handle differing opinions, snowflake.
All right guys, settle down. Obviously, you both like the game, but while one of you is patient and understanding of the grind, the other wants quicker releases. No one knows what the developer might be going through personally or financially, however, I am glad for the new release. I stumbled upon it by accident. That being siad, the best we can do is pat the developer on the back, or chip in to help fund it, because believe me, this is a pretty good visual novel, well written, and with good graphics, and the last thing we need is another good project abandoned because of irritating the developer while not providing financial support. By the way, I did chip in.
I agree with you, but I expect the programmer wants to earn some money with the game in the future. I have to admit, that I would not want to pay more then $5 for the EP 1-10.
Not a bad game at all. It would be better if the player could make a few more decisions along the way. Also, as some have pointed out, shame that the only love interest is Emily.
This game would be so much better if you weren't forced plot wise to 'romance' only Emily. Sure you can fool around with multiple but having only one true love interest and being forced to truly only love or care about just Emily is dumb as hell and irritating.
Along with the fact with how childish and stupid the MC is made to act. He acts like a 10 year old in most situations and just an outright pussy. If there was some better character growth, more love interests (just an Ashley ending would make it great), like the main girls/interests and maybe minor endings or smaller routes with the other girls. I feel there's a lot of potential in a route for Piper with how you set that one up or even the doctor.
I agree with that. And what really made me angry is that EP10 stopped before there was a "reward" from Piper. I dont understand that such a chance was let out. Actually the MC never had real sex through 10 Episodes. That is not enough.
They are currently working on episode 11 and like that other guy said, episode 10 is on their Patreon. Their most recent post is from the 21st of July so they wre very much alive. It's just going to be a little bit longer before the free side of things get updated. The paying Patreons just get things first.

One of my all-time favorites.

hey is there NTR in this im asking because i hate NTR personally and dont want it so any info on this would be nice
So far, no there's not, and I doubt it will be added
given the scope, style, and apparent goals ov the the suthor, i doubt ntr will be added. more likely (and even then, not by much) it is more likely it will add open releationship favoring theb male, not the females.
Does "the scenes" have sounds, its the only important thing for me, playing these games
Yes, they do
Is the game also available in German because the sports car in the garage has a German number plate?
I believe this was my first itch.io vn way back, I think around ep6 - 7, and what I remember was the feeling that everything just dragged on and friggin on, not that the content was bad but like it just felt like it really wasn't going anywhere, and there weren't any real scenes.
Before I put myself through that again, would anyone say that there's been significant improvement since 6-7?
can we get max points of Emily like corruption and effecttion in the game and are there an actual sex scene with her or not
Maybe if you'd bothered to read my comment you'd already know I'm not the one with the answer to your question...

Yes there is , at the end (EP10) but dont expect too much.
There a lot improvement after ep 6 - 7 especially ep 10. Well im kinda agree the story kinda slow but i think it'll worth it.

I appreciate you saving my next few afternoons
not that i disagree about the pace, but if you want a porno, go download a porno. this is a visual novel.
Terrible fucking argument, this IS a porno in VN form, as admitted by the creator of this fucking mod themselves.

it seems you are the one with a terrible argument. yoiu are frothing at the mouth in anger with your post. meet mr ignore.
Guys can we get max points of Emily like corruption and effecting in the game and are there an actual sex scene with her or not
well you need balance love and corruption for emily. There's a minimum points to unlock some scene.

Lost interest early on when the GD told me he doesnt put rape scenes in, but he put's attempted rape lol.
Was hoping for a visit from the bathroom rapist for revenge, when he said no i'm out. Game is a pain in the ass otherwise with a stupid point system

I have lost all of the scenes for episode 1 is there any way to restore them without stating again?
When is ep11 gonna come out?
Recent releases have been a year apart, so if I were a betting man, I'd say mid-2024.
damm
This is a great game with a good story line. We need a chapter 2. Lol
"NTR Goodness"? that's the dumbest fucking sentence i've heard in my entire life, and i've heard some dumb shit
This person. This person right here. They speak the truth.

that's a mistake
I'm glad to see the release on here too! :-)
I'm suprised at the content of this chapter!
Am i doing something wrong or what? I always get point check failed with emily when she is sleeping in my room after she threw that bottle. I tried to max points with her but still it's failed, someone know if it's a bug or something?
Do an online search for a walkthrough.

When will the swinging content be implemented? Lots of people waiting for that
No milf can beat her, thank you dev!
I'd like to know how the point system works. Given the game has barely any choices. Like the game didn't let me talk to Ashley at all, so how did I not have enough points for her to open up to me in the garden? I could give other examples. It doesn't seem logical.
I been binge playing the game from 11pm to 5am lol and i just want to be with the doctor instead
word
is there any discord?
is there a Walkthrough i really need it

Hey! I like this game very much, but could you please make non-Mega download links? i can't download anything from Mega...
Thank you ^_^
hi I only have 4questions does anyone know
1.) Have you thought adding a to the Women Sex Toys ?
store -> buy-> Women Sex Toys ?
2.)Another thing you can add is condoms as an item that it's consumabile.
Of course you'll have to give the players the options to choose were But think it clearly that if you have this system in the game
store -> buy->
condoms
3.)so i was wondering will pregnancy and gives birth be added within the next update?
4.)
Where are saves stored on Android? Where do I find saved files on my Android Samsunga galaxy s20 android 11 phone?
Its a bit disappointing that maintaining a balance between friendship and corruption is only resulting in failing each and every pointcheck with em, while she still behaves like a girlfriend plotwise.
well, she is in love anyway you treat her, not unrealistic
Still no swinging content I guess. Judging by the comments. Glad I didn't hold my breath
Hey, how do I install all four bonus episodes? Sorry, not a Patreon member yet.
When I played it the NTR wasn't there. Removing trash ...
The only trash here is you, cuck.
Funny, I am using a walkthrough, chosen every correct answer, and still don't have enough points for various actions! How does that happen?!
Awesome, a new Update! Wait...
So, between April 2022 and August 2023, this update took a full year and 4 months to come out. The earliest update I can see is episode 3 from August 2019, 4 years ago. The intervall between updates has also nearly tripled from the previous 3-4 months per update. How long for the entire game?

Just wonder why you've done 4 "bonus episodes" outside the lore, instead of having us at episode 11 by now...
I think Az forgot he had the game on itch as well :S
Ep10?? Noticed your Patreon has had it up for a bit and just wanted us here on itch to have some love too ;D
Not a bad game at all. It would be better if the player could make a few more decisions along the way. Also, as some have pointed out, shame that the only love interest is Emily.
depends what you call love
