I'll second all of this and also recommend the game.

Though on the "harem builder" aspect, I'd better describe it as having multiple different poly endings. You can end up in a pretty big polycule that satisfies the harem tag here, but there isn't a way to end up with every LI in a single playthrough as two LIs are monogamous-only. The poly routes are absolutely worth it though if you like those types of relationship structures, as they are in my opinion some of the best I've seen in AVNs.
Also, it may be useful to mention in this context that if you don't like poly/harem stories all of the LIs have a solo ending as well (some of them have emotionally tough scenes that make sense within the story). Highly recommended from me as well.

I think this is a key point, too. A lot of the time you might have girls who are "all or nothing", so if they're not part of a harem/poly, you can't get them solo, or vice-versa. I think it's rare to have a game with harem/poly where all LIs can also be solo, or at least one that does it well.

Well, I am glad I ended up buying it, in the end I went with Val route and was pleasantly surprised by her route, although I felt bad for Sadie, I may play her solo route or the harem next because all the girls were awesome except Zenda, she is the only one I never clicked with, she also felt more "side girl" than the rest of the cast.

My only minor issue with the story was that they killed his dad offscreen, for something so personal I thought they should've shown it

Overall great game, I am glad I got to play it and I'll probably be replaying the other routes soon.

Hello. I've downloaded this game, I'm on Linux (Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS) and when I launch it, I've got this error message :
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)
Serial number of failed request: 583
Current serial number in output stream: 583

Did someone else have this and know how to fix it?

Found this from a guy that had the same problem in Itch.io, hopefully it works for you:



This should be the quick fix for you: resize "BWLogoMenuWindow2.png" to a smaller size (1000x1000 should work) and that'll fix it for you.

That image is inside Bare Witness/game/gui folder.

Any sister incest patch?
Well believe it or not, someone did actually make one a while back. :ROFLMAO:
Using the power of my Witness Protection Magic, I turned Sadie into MC's sister instead of his cousin. Right click save it to the folder called "game" as an RPY type file. Should be compatible with all versions and mods.

EDIT: Everyone is welcome to use / not use this patch. Please don't insult me, the developer, or other users over it.

That worked absolutely perfectly! Thank you very very much for your help.

So can I get Zenda with Athena and Heidi ?
Zenda and Val are solo endings only. There is a threesome opportunity on Zenda's path with a side LI though, but it's a one-time thing.

Only Heidi, Athena, Mora, and Sadie are down for poly, but there's still some limitations there in terms of possible combos (though you can have a poly ending with all four at once).

Note: On that full poly path you can still knock up Val and split amicably, if you're going for a "maximum sex" playthrough.

The real answer is multiple playthroughs. Minimum 3 (unless you're just talking about having sex with them, then minimum 2)

Just one question, what is the difference in members between the Harem ending and the Mashed ending. ??
There is no "Full Harem" ending. There are solo endings for all six, then there are a few two-girl endings, one three-girl ending and "MASH" -- which is all four of the non-solo-only girls.

So, gang, the is going to drop later this month.

Be Advised: This has been designed from the ground up with the latest Steam version of Bare Witness. That version is NOT available here, nor is it even available on Patreon. It ONLY works with the Steam release. Even if someone were to release the required file on F95, it will not work unless you have the Steam version of the game. So, if you want the DLC, you will need to get it from Steam.

Bare Witness v1.2s is in beta now. That version number will 100% increase before we push to live. Translators are working on fixing up the hints translations for all 5 other languages. The game has a whole whack of optimizations, a fully reworked Replay Gallery, a new Image Gallery of slockie special renders, better performance due to a Ren'Py game engine upgrade, and more.

If you've been on the fence about buying the Steam version, this is a great time to pull the trigger.
