I was out of the loop of this game for a long while. Is there any date for the next update, or a hint of the content?

Why? Because of the graphics? That`s because rpg maker which that game is based on is an ancient technology by now. That`s why you don`t even get a 16:9 screen ratio in 2020 and why the option settings in these games are pretty much worthless. Not the fault of the developer but of the engine. Rpg maker is easy to use and that`s why it is so wide spread but it sure ain`t the technology of tomorrow.

Isn't RPGMaker an originally japanese developed engine? That would explain the 800x600 aspect ratio. Hell, I laughed my ass off when I saw a japanese VN having the illustrations at 1024x768 and that being considered a breakthrough and take in account it was a relatively new game (can't remember which one tho, but saw it like 2 years ago). Japanese PC's normally don't focus on super resolutions - or well, standard ones in the West, those being 16:9 - and even though they can get better stuff, they stick to the classic (even if outdated) ones. I mean, last time I read about the technology they use, they still have faxes.
Yes it is indeed and yes you are absolutely right. For a country that is so "technologically advanced" when it comes to IT and their games then Japan is ancient at best. I mean to be fair, I think the game is based on the rpg maker vx ace which came out in 2011 but even in 2011 I played my games already on a FHD 16:9 screen and not on a 4:3 cathode ray tube monitor and I doubt that the newer rpg maker versions are any better, I didn`t play on the new 2020 rpg maker engine so far but probably still 4:3 800x600.
I mean I don`t expect them to give me 4k HDR content for my 4k monitor, even so in 2020 4k is slowly becoming the new standard, but FHD is pretty much the standard since a decade and should be the bare minimum. But I know games that came out a few years ago and still only had their 720p "high resolution" settings at best.

No. It's because it feels like it's been ages since I first played this game. Doesn't feel like it was as recent as 2018 at all.
The one Doc is using is RPG Maker VX Ace. There's RPG Maker MV and that has bigger resolutions. There's also the most recent one which released this september. RPG Maker MZ. Only seen one game use that though and it was pretty barebones.
I don't think it's meant to be the technology of tomorrow. It's meant to simulate those old RPG games like FF or Dragon Quest. Most of my fav games here are on RPGM too. I prefer it to Ren'Py when it comes to sandbox games like this.

Ok, for me a Walkthrough is a guide, but wtv....
The link on the 1st post links to the last conversation of this thread so either the link is broken or the "guide"/not walkthrough was removed...
Both things should be updated on the 1st post since the author has an updated walkthrough on discord, and whatever you understand as a guide is not there....

The Spanish translation does not exist. And also the cake is a lie.

That stuff is linked to how many posts you are seeing per page. Change your settings to "20 per page" and retry the link. Voilà!
Also the "Walkthrough" in the Discord server is the same as the guide, just incorrectly labelled as a walkthrough, checked just in case and the wikia page, the PDF and the guide in here are the same.
For me the difference of guide and walkthrough is the former gives you a hint of what to do (guidance, if you will) and the latter is a proven step by step process to achieve a specific result, which taking that into account we could come to the conclusion that the guide is a walkthrough-esque thing as it describes certain ins and outs and whatnot while not telling you specifics per se... so there's that haha
TL;DR change your posts settings, the fabled guide/walkthrough is the same thing

I've downloaded them but there's not a Martha state save, just Vera and Lucile.
EDIT: Oh, I've find one save with the "permissive" state already activated but anyway I prefer the passionate <3
Why Vera still agressive in the sleeping scenes when she has the submissive state?, I don't know if it's a bug...

Not all scenes are affected (at the moment) by the State the girl is in, that's why in some of them they still act like their regular 'selves. Eventually all the "legacy" scenes are gonna be affected (remade) so it's a matter of time.

Ok, thanks for the info so I'll be waiting the update to keep enjoying this very nice game
Any similar game to this one?, I've tried "Survivor Guilt" but it runs VERY bad on my notebook, I don't know why.

If you take a look at user TrialRagnarok's signature, you can see a link called Recommendations. In there there is a comprehensive list of games that might be appealing to those who are into The Manor. Said list is the best answer to your question as of this moment.
