Er, shouldn't that be:

"Shadows Over Manston
FORMERLY 'The Manifest'"

or should we only refer to it as "Shadows Over Manston" when it's wearing a tux? (The Linux version, perhaps?)
Yeah you're 100% correct, that's an error by me

If something isn't defined that generally means you didn't start from the beginning.
You must restart for v.017

Is this going to happen for 18, too? I think I'll just wait then.
You shouldn't need to do it again, I put in every variable I was planning in using in v.017 even if they don't do anything yet so everything is defined

Cool game btw.

The MC seems like a bit of a scumbag/dirty cop, but after the initial schock, the gameplay and graphics is top notch.
I like the multiple paths, but I guess it makes it difficult to go forward with the story.

In any case...keep it up!

WhitePhantom, I'm loving the game so far. It's sort of like Lancaster Boarding House meets Depraved Awakening. The combination works well, and the plot (not just getting with women) is intriguing.

I'm obviously excited about continuing content / stories with the various women (replaying different routes is part of the fun), but I'd play this game if the overarching plot were the only thing in the game.

I just played through this one yesterday and i have to say i was actually surprised how much content there is! Overall im very pleased with the game so far, great looking girls, one for every taste and although in general quite linear, many options to alternativ little side routes. (As is the standard in most games, otherwise every different path would be like 5 minutes gameplay only)

As im not into wife and milf stuff i tried to circumvent all that shit and i was glad it was possible, so it seems any content you dont like can be easily bypassed.

Also its not just a complete fuck-fest instead there are lots of teases and foreplay scenes that create exitement and good tension.

One minor problem i see is that eventually there are so many girls, events and places that you start losing track. It sometimes feels like instead of introducing yet another girl the author could have developed the relationship with all the already existing ones. Like this most relationships are a bit too shallow for the amount of content the game offers.

If this would be a review i would give the Author 4.5/5 Stars for this game.
Keep it up! Looking forward to the next release.

Edit: PS: I just looked through the images folder and i totally forgot the weird dreams as in my playthrough i completely skipped through them. I have to say that part is a bit unnecessary and so much out of context that i didnt even want to read through it. For my part that section could just be left out and it would not change anything.

False hopes ... indeed you do have to start a new game ... sad news .... but if it is any consolation: I went through the same shit ...

@WhitePhantom I hit a bug. Started a new game in v0.17.

Save file attached. Choose "I thought we could have some fun" to see the error.
That's a typo in the script by me, that particular scene and all others after that at the moment go from dislike rather than Lust which is just used for now at the beginning so you should be safe to skip it and just carry on.

I'll wait and see if there are any other bugs that come up and then release a bug-fix and sort out my misuse of 'formally' too.

Great! All caught up on the game now. One thing that confuses me in choosing paths is what to make of the wife's paths. It's hard to tell which one is going in the direction of getting potential mother/daughter sex. Do I want her spanking her daughter to get them used to touching or do I want to turn the wife submissive so she'll fuck anyone I say? It's not really clear in the game or the walkthrough. So I find myself stuck, unable to decide what path leads there. Seems like there's a good argument either way. I think it might be worth clarifying stuff, everything else is fairly straightforward and easy to understand where it's going.

EDIT: Really happy to get some Pen scenes, thanks. Virginal Hannah works really well as the forbidden fruit character, Pen's always been more open and fun so getting more interaction with her makes sense.

I've said repeatedly you need to restart for v.017, you might get a game over, you might get a ton of bugs, it depends where you are. You MUST restart because I added 42 new variables on Day 1 which will be continue to be used throughout all future updates and have been introduced in all previous days.
