Just finished the game. Great story... but question. Are there no sex scenes? Is it cause i downloaded the free version that i didnt get to unlock any? I only got the one sex scene with one of the ladies where i could only touch her with "something not attached to my body"
It depends on the choices that you make, but I have not yet seen a full sex scene. There are a couple of blowjob scenes that you can get, as well as a butt job scene though.
Sorry yah that sentence needed a fullstop after Well done. Mrk... I was trying to signature my compliment to you, i know pretty stupid of me. MrK aka Misterknobb.
Just curious if their will be a more open pathway in the next update played through episode 6 and while I like the story development and the overall plot, I feel like there is no harem route just some fwb. I also feel like MC is forced into a relationship with Emily (totally not my type) and there is not going to be a different ending. Maybe I am jumping to conclusions but we are 6 chapters in and the only person MC has actually had intercourse with is Ashley who at this stage I am not a fan of. A prostitute and Dominatrix at the same time? No rubber? God I hope I don't get hep c or HIV... Then Samantha she is absolutely my type but the vibe I am getting is that there will only possibly be an fwb scenario with her which I would prefer the possibility to actually pursue her. Also what about the fact that she wants MC to talk to mommy even though MC has clearly stated he has no interest in it? Even parolees have rights... unless this takes place in some country where freedom is forbidden. I just feel like MC as we are going through story in that role isn't getting enough decision making power over who he wants to pursue long term maybe more open ended choices and less author steering would be preferable even if the route leads to failure or something at least make choosing an option. I love the artwork it is impeccable and I do like the way you have an actual story instead of just insta sex like so many others so please take my points as constructive criticism. Thanks and best of luck on the next release.
Is a lineal history, at the beginning of the game you have the illusion that you will have at least a couple of options, in the course of the game, but when you get to chapter 5, you already realize that he is only one path, it's he first game, must be feel very intimidated by the Python software, maybe.
Disappointing... but understandable. I can't do this, don't have the know how so I guess I have to accept the work of others. I would like to do some script writing though, I like the idea of creating a story board.
Beautiful renders, the characters look really good. Im at episode 5 and there seem to be a storyline developing and I do hope so. This game is too beautiful looking to be wasted on simply being just a "harem" game.
Although I understand it's is MC's personality but I'm starting to find MC to be a little too gabby and on the dumb side. Getting annoying. Maybe tone it down a little but that's just my opinion.
Looking forward to updates and thank-you for not having oversized breast!!!
Have to say that while the story was deep and involved, something rare to find in most games of this type, the single choice prompts just threw off the whole flow of the game for me. What is the point of having the player press a prompt that has no effect on the story at all? It doesn't make them feel any more a part of the game. In fact it does the opposite pulling them out of the experience for a needless mouse click.
Okey, for some reason I've been looking at this game multiple times but never actually downloaded it for some reason. Yesterday however I did just that, I downloaded it and started playing. I have to admit that I think it'd s great game, a bit slow maybe bet great. Keep it up
I really want to encourage you AZ to continue to take all the time you need to develop each episode of this game into exactly what you want it to be and envision for it, and to not allow everyone's excitement and antsy, impatient attitudes to make you feel like you need to curb the prior and just instead put out a lighter, shorter episode to appease. That's detrimental to true creative flow, and the only way you'll be able to truly look back say 10 years from completion on this epic game and think "damn, I am so proud of that game, I did a killer job on it!" is if you go with your own flow and enjoy creating it as you want to. You'll be outputting only the best, most epic episodes and game by doing that. So I highly encourage you to keep doing what you're doing, ignore all those impatient people whining, begging, pushing and even hating and know that ignoring them and not giving in is the right choice.
I love this game, and your writing in it is insanely good. It's actually legitimately impactful, and makes it fully relatable on a lot of levels. You absolutely nailed the psychology of people that have the backgrounds that these characters in the house do, even down to the most nuanced detail. It's wild to see that, especially in a lewd based game haha. It just makes it that much more incredible and impressive.
To be fair, I originally would've never dared to download or try these kinds of games as they're WAAAAY outside of my comfort zone, mainly do to the influence of how I was raised (which I am still trying to kick to the curb). So one evening I said "fuck it" and I went and downloaded this game and a few others, and I am glad I did.
This is one of three of them I could not be more happy that I did. I never believed a game like this could actually contain super quality story, character development and have so much attention to detail in regards to people and how they'd think & act depending on their histories. But you've proven to me that it in fact happens, even if in intensely rare cases, like this game of yours right here. Thank you for making it, taking so much time out of your likely busy life to make this, and, not even necessarily making much money from it, either.
I am extremely excited to see more of your work in action in the coming episodes. Keep up the insanely great work, AZ! Hope you have a killer day/night. Be sure to enjoy yourself while creating this, too! -Danny
Edit: realized I accidentally typed out realizable and not relatable so I fixed that :P
Hey man, I just played the game and I gotta say I had a great time immersing into the story. So I just wanted to ask if you have a discord server or something so I can keep myself somewhat updated on mthis project of yours. Once again, great work man. Keep it up!
but seriously Great game AZ, and I nearly unlocked all the scenes, but can't find the Rider kick scene and the Hollis Nightmare scene. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I have reinstaled a cople times now and it keeps sayingg: "...\\Halfway_House-EP5-pc\\lib\\windows-i686\\Halfway_House.exe: Could not open "... "Halfway_House-EP5-pc\halfway_House.py." That file doesn't exist anywhere and I don't have the problem solving skills to figure this out send help (i'm on widows).
For people that are too lazy to look at AZ patreon:
EP6 ETA:
Fuck it. What can I say other than I suck. Ep6 is getting there. ATM just about to finish a big scene (80-100 renders). After this one there's another two big scenes to do before this one reach the end.
Sometime earlier I said it might be done mid April and later I said I would try to get it done before the next billing cycle... well I'm now far past the first ETA and closing on the second one and I'm not gonna make that either.
Might make the last two scene shorter to get it done sooner if it takes too long. Or just make them simpler... we'll see.
Anyways, sorry. I make no excuses. I'm slow.
: End of post. So give the man a break. Shit like this take time, and we all sometimes go over a deadline. So let the man work and we can see a good fucking chapter 6. Which we all know we all want to see what happens next.
Dude, we are waiting for Episode 6. You said it would be out by mid April. Its 24 April already and we haven't even gotten a slight update of when its gonna release. Atleast give us an Update ASAP.
I really enjoyed trying this game with gamcore. Now I'm on Itch.io but it won't let me install game. It says "incompatible third party website"? In fact several other games say the same thing. Is this because of Itch.io hosting it or something with my settings? I have no problem install others.
A porn game without porn scenes.. lol... 5 Episode without a sex scene. You see more a fat guy naked (louis) than the girl. All sex is self-masturbation... Good graphics, too many words blablabal.. no sex at all.
i know new update is available via mega in patreon but why dont you make it available over here in itchio because google drive download aint the best .mega is much better
Hello. I have a question, I downloaded ep5 and it also download which I'm good, but I'm wondering how I will get episode 6? Will I come here and download it or is it some kind of automatic update? Thanks,also when is the next update?
I'm not 100% sure on if you can reply the scenes but i usually just create a save before i choose which option i want that way if you move to far forward and can't rollback to the start of the scene you at least have the option to load the save file.

you actually get ridden by Ashley when she comes into your room. You may want to go back and replay with different choices...
HOW!? I TRIED THE GAME 2 TIMES ALREADY
been a while since I played it but it's based on your conversation choices
Man AZ youve created an amazing game... Rich characters and flowing dialogue and great story to boot... Well done MrK
Who's MrK?
Sorry yah that sentence needed a fullstop after Well done. Mrk... I was trying to signature my compliment to you, i know pretty stupid of me. MrK aka Misterknobb.

I really hope the doctor has her own route, she's one of my favorite characters so far
Really a fantastic game! I'm waiting for new episodes.
What happened to the skip button as of the Chapter 6 release? It was a great feature for replaying and making different choices.
What's the name of the song that plays during the start menu?
Thank you very much

Thank you for the reply

Thank you
Dude, we are waiting for Episode 6. You said it would be out by mid April. Its 24 April already and we haven't even gotten a slight update of when its gonna release. Atleast give us an Update ASAP.
Dont be an ass and wait
I really enjoyed trying this game with gamcore. Now I'm on Itch.io but it won't let me install game. It says "incompatible third party website"? In fact several other games say the same thing. Is this because of Itch.io hosting it or something with my settings? I have no problem install others.
If the creator uses mega as the file transfer site the itch.io app cant access i.
Okay, so why then would Itch.io put it on their lists to play if we can't? lol
they're a place to promote your games its not like theyre telling you that you cant have it. literally just go to the browser version and download it.
Do i need to start from beginning for each new episode ?
A porn game without porn scenes.. lol...
5 Episode without a sex scene. You see more a fat guy naked (louis) than the girl. All sex is self-masturbation...
Good graphics, too many words blablabal.. no sex at all.
can u send me save file ?
Do you know how to edit the save file to unlock the scenes? Played through all of it, but didn't unlock all of them.
i know new update is available via mega in patreon but why dont you make it available over here in itchio because google drive download aint the best .mega is much better
Hello. I have a question, I downloaded ep5 and it also download which I'm good, but I'm wondering how I will get episode 6? Will I come here and download it or is it some kind of automatic update? Thanks,also when is the next update?
He is still working on it
>Last Update: 41 days ago
>Dev says the release cycle is 45 days
I hope and pray I get episode 6 in 4 days. This is remarkable, and Emily is basically perfect.
hey u should make a discord
Great game, love the characters. Your game along with the developer of the Deluca Family are my favorites.
how can you replay the sex scenes? at some points you cant go back to select other choices in the game
I'm not 100% sure on if you can reply the scenes but i usually just create a save before i choose which option i want that way if you move to far forward and can't rollback to the start of the scene you at least have the option to load the save file.
