Depends on what you mean by content. There are events unique to all paths, so you cannot see 100% of everything on any one. You can charm 2 more people on the murder path than the others

Otherwise play as you think works best, some feel the soft murder path is more 'true' than the others, I prefer the apprentice
I'm usually not that much into HTML or real porn games, but the overwhelmingly positve reviews on this one have me curious enough to give it a try.

I quote this post from last year to ask, how the paths have developed. Still more potential content on the murder path?

Why do you prefer the Apprentice path? Can you - or someone else - summarize in a sentence or two what to expect of each path? The overview...

Paths

These are major ways to play the game that considerably vary events in the game. There are two currently, each with variants.

Apprentice Path

In this path you become Sir Ronald Gates' apprentice. In this path no killing will take place, outside of a few bad endings.

Charmed Path

You accept his apprenticeship and Sir Roland teaches you the ways of magic and how yo deal with your rivals.
This is the major variant of the Charmed Path.

Conspiracy Path

In the path you refuse the apprenticeship and leave the mansion. You cannot return there normally. An anonymous benefactor will send you aid. Parts of the game are significantly reorganized, notably for money and the Clairvoyance spell.

Murder Path

In this path Sir Roland Gates is killed and you are the prime suspect and can be the actual killer. In this path people can be killed, either by accident or design.

Hard Murder Path

You demand Sir Ronald give you the Book, and argue over the book with Sir Roland and kill him by accident.

Soft Murder Path

You demand the Book but leave before killing Sir Ronald, but then witness another killing him and will be considered the murderer.
Death can still take place in this path, you are just not personally responsible for Sir Ronald's death. Maybe others, just not his.
...is very vague.

Many thanks in advance!


P.S.: Quoting from the OP " either to help your family and others, or to gain the power of the spells within the book". Am I right in assuming that the Apprentice path is a "love" route, helping people, everybody loves you and wants to have sex with you, and the Murder path is a "corruption" route, dominating, enslaving people to make them have sex with you?

When following Tess into the Town Hall after using the spell on her and gaining access to the office she is in, she game gets stuck, clicking the only option available ("order Tess to stay") just reload the same page (location 96?=charmtess2).
I managed to unstuck it by passing one day using ingame cheats (also works using several pass 1h, so I assume it's because I launched that section too early in the playthrough, having used money cheats I guess I was a little faster than intended :D )

oh good, it wasn't just me. Ran into the same behavior. Didn't cheat. After charming Tess in the Library, followed her to Town Hall/husband's office. Only selection is to order her to stay. Version 14.10.2

Tried doing it a few days later, it still needed the "pass day" cheat to get unstuck. Once unstuck, Tess husband seems to already be charmed (appears in his office with possibility for sex) until progressing to the point of obtaining the silver ring at their home: there is no dialogue option except leaving, and trying charm just leads to another stuck page...

Seems like Tess and John have a little bit of trouble, or at least on the Murder path in this update. Tried doing the charm then follow with Tess only for it to get stuck when confronting her in John's office. Backed up a bit and just charmed her the ordinary way and then after charming John I get stuck after getting him to serve non-sexually.

Is this game with Gifs and Videos or just Images`?
Mainly images with some gifs and mp4 videos

Do any one have any saved files i don't fill like playing through the whole game again
There are saves posted earlier in the thread that will still work

by my understanding reading the changelog, aunt brandi can't be tamed yet?
You can meet but not charm her

There is different content on the two paths, you can charm one additional person on the Murder path over the Apprentice path and there are events you only see on the Apprentice path

I prefer the Apprentice path just simply as I do not like death in my porn games. The murder path pre-dated my working on the game and as such I left this in place when I started working on the game, I have just made it so death and physical violence is limited outside of bad-ends to the murder path.
Otherwise the apprentice path seems to me to be 'truer' to the story of the game

The town and events are little more corrupt on the murder path and some events are a little different, but most ly the difference is in how much violence if being used by you or others

The Apprentice path is not a 'love' path, you can choose lover type charm scenes in both paths

Don't know why but now I can't visit the Adams house in the evening (unavailable). Confusion of interaction with Beasley as a male character ("remind him who is in charge") and image error.
Are you planning to add new characters in the big update and some non-core stories?

There's a bug with choosing the game option "Things are a little easier and you can undo some dire actions". Clicking "Start the game" results in an empty page. This was with game version 14.10.2.

Another problem encountered. Can't access the School, which means I can't access Home or other locations you get to from School...
Sorry I cannot reproduce this at all
BUT
you may get these issues if you are ONLY using the posted update link, so if you did not apply it to an existing installation of the the game

Please apply the posted fix above and see if it helps with the Adams hout issue

What image error?

1. No, I still can't get in the house. :( I'll try to start a new game.
2. nonexistent file
1. Please save your game to file and post it for me to check
2. where? Mouse over the icons where the image should be and see when file is referenced or open the javascript console. Or just tell me what you were doing, and with who

I downloaded and updated the game from 14.10.1 to 14.10.2, and I'm having problems. Specifically, I'm having problems keeping all the photos that I want!!! I know in older versions I could just go to the config file and edit the saved photos from the default 8 I think to whatever value that I wanted. That worked well, assuming I remembered to manually go in and edit the file for each update.

14.10.1 came around, and that changed to an "app" function on the phone that sets the pictures that you can save. Annoying, but at least in 14.10.1, I could set the value anywhere from 25 to 115 to a max of 225 I believe. In that version, the game had the courtesy to stay at whatever value I set until I went back in and adjusted it to its new setting.

Then there's 14.10.2, and I was excited with the new content! New possibilities! Maybe mom learned how to be trimmed or clean shaven. I could finally see more of my beautiful ladies pregnant, if my character was into that sort of thing ;) Of course, for all the good, there's also the bad, and for me, it's one hell of a bad! I'm all about saving my favorite scenes on my phone to enjoy later, and I play as a character who does the same. He or she (depending on which playthrough I do) sees something or someone sexy, they take a picture to enjoy later. So imagine how utterly pissed off I became when my damn phone decides to default back to a flipping pathetic 5 (ok, it's really more like 8 but the damn app says 5) whenever I have more then TEN MEASLY PICTURES saved in it's memory!!!

I get that the app was designed to be an easy workaround to editing the config file, but as of 14.10.2 IT DOESN'T WORK!!! PLEASE bring back the option to edit the photos saved in the config file, or have a separate downloadable config file designed to work for 14.10.2 that I can adjust the photo settings myself.

The config file editing process will still work, the exact same edits will still work. The app was mainly for Android users who cannot edit config.js

As a suggestion, use the Memory app to set the photos number and then immediately save the game. As the app changes the value but does not save it until you chose to save the game
