I only play by the rules that come as standard with the game, didn't know that. Now it makes more sense; I found it odd that his mother would be so calm about his father maintaining contact with such a stunning friend.

I play without the patch (I'm not a fan of incest) and I didn't find it odd. I assumed that the Mom and Dad have been split up for years and/or the mom has known her for years and is cool with her. I don't know if they address it in the game but The MC mentions that he isn't close to his Dad and I got the impression that they hadn't talked much or seen each other much over the years.

The dialogue for the non-incest variant to this one is handled a little better than other VNs I've seen. You could tell the dev (at least early on) tried to make both variants make sense. Portraying the aunt as an old family friend with a daughter can make sense contextually right up until the part where Elly's relationship to the MC is revealed and the MC acts like they did something taboo. There's obviously nothing controversial about fucking a childhood friend but when the dialogue shifts into taboos like "But it was so wrong! You're my _____!", then it makes it pretty obvious what the canon relationship is really supposed to be.

I don't care about incest one way or another so I usually start VNs without incest patches. Regardless of my feelings on incest in the real world, in the AVN world it's such a common trope that it's almost a rule at this point. Like "If thine family members are hot then thine family must be plowed". However, I prefer dialogue to make sense in context and the moment there is any hint of a taboo in the dialogue, then I'll toss in the incest patch so that it makes sense.

I played the Steam version, and I'm not sure if I missed it or if the Steam version has this option, but at the beginning of the game, it asks us if she'll be your aunt or a family friend. I decided to play with her as an aunt, and it really is better to play this game that way; it makes much more sense.

I agree with you for the most part. This game is one of maybe two or three games where real effort is put into having the non incest version feel valid. That scene annoyed me since I'm not playing with the patch. I'm not naive. I know what the popular/canon version of the game is, but If the dev provides a different option for players like me then don't let that incest dialogue creep through. However it's just one scene and no game is perfect so I let it go.

In any event for me, incest (whether in real life or a vn) never makes sense, so playing with a patch is just not going to happen. Also even the best of games will have some things that just don't work or work as well as they should.

Glad to see the new update coming out on Steam. The menu looks amazing now and some of the new QoL changes are welcome. Sad that I have to start over all my paths but it's alright, the game is worth playing, I can't wait to see what's next in this new chapter.

Yes, you need to go to options then turn on "alternative script".






NOTE: If you want the WT DLC and don't want to pay you can grab it form the one here or my compressed version and add it to your Steam version and you now have the WT for free



Just copy walkthrough folder, extra.rpa, and script.rpa and copy/replace into Steam folder.

 

[jonahhexing19]

What do I do with "ashotinthedark.game.chapter.four_wt_release.apk"?
Do I need to move it into the game folder or can I just ignore it?
Edit: Nvm, a quick google tells me it's to do with Android...

 

[brianzzz]

walkthrough mod?

 

[SonsOfLiberty]

walkthrough mod?

What about it? It's included already in the game.

 

[datboi31]

Soooo is there a harem ending?

 

[Abhai]

Soooo is there a harem ending?

ofc, a proper man of culture, i see.

but before that ending all chicks will transform into futas.
only after that there will be a happy-fappy-harem ending where all those chicks strap-bangs mc.

 

[Juv3]

Is the Female Domination Here like the one in Prince of Suburbia or is it heavier

Chapter 5 Development
As mentioned in previous dev logs, Chapter 5 has been in development for a while now. We've also mentioned before that we are going to be doing something totally new and different with Chapter 5 that we can't wait to tell you about!

We're excited to announce that Chapter 5 will have a 1920s themed Murder Mystery Game within it featuring all of your favorite A Shot in the Dark characters (a mini visual novel within a visual novel, if you will!). This has been an idea we've had since the very beginning, and originally the plan was to include it in Chapter 3, but as the story progressed we ultimately decided it made more sense in Chapter 5.

The story for the 1920s Murder Mystery Game is already set, and about a third of the content is written already. We also have created all of the backgrounds for the various locations in the mini game, as well as hair and outfit options for all the love interests who will be participating so that players can vote on their favorites (which we will start doing next week!).

Chapter 5 will have regular scenes that advance the story and lewd scenes with 8 out of the 10 love interests, so don't worry. This is not a gimmicky chapter that will take away from "real" development time or progression with your favorite characters. This game-within-a-game was always planned to tie in with the actual story of the main game.

Without further ado, here are previews of the locations for the 1920s Murder Mystery Game coming in Chapter 5!

I call it, Being a Dik syndrome. Every VN has to have some kind of game or party that takes up ninety percent of an update that doesn't actually move story forward at all.

Being a Dik had that "DnD" focused update and that Haunted House focused update, so now every game has to have something similar.

Hopefully this murder mystery doesn't take up too much of the next release.

Good reminder, but these are actually fun, it's the Summer Gone and that futuristic paintball that's the downside.
