Does the story continue in 4.0 or is the ending the same as 3.5? I loaded my savegame from 3.5 and can't get any further than the scene when the drug kid is on the phone with her father..
do i have to play the story from the beginning?

Hmm the game need many Proofreading and "Bug"Fixing. Ok this may not be a bug when a wrong char is speaking but anyway. Its a bit annoying because things like this happen many times

I probably should have waited to finish what's already completed before I subbed over on SubscribeStar. This story started out really good , but it quickly became this incoherent and jumbled up mess that makes no sense whatsoever. This started with so much promise and now I am struggling to even finish it. Typical project that starts as a passion project and get's some money and quickly becomes just another production garbage project.

TF is wrong with this game. I didn't cheat on the wife i play the pure milf path and still i only have the choice in the car to break with her or admit i cheated or ask for an open relation..
I also didn't like the change in Luna's hair, it makes her not recognizable. To do that with such a scene was to ruin an important step forward in the story.

The flak Betisis has gotten (or, their game, specifically) has been undoubtedly, completely and utterly warranted.
That said, can't help but root for em'. Always did love me a Cinderella story.
Hope the game turns into something they can be proud of one day.
I never had a problem with the game except for the DEV's destroying of the nieces hairdo. She went from smoking hot to what the fuck did you do to your hair?
Don't know what he did with the hair because I skipped the update but I already disliked the tattoos on the blonde niece.
If you hated the tats, then you'd hate her even more with the ridiculous hairdo, lol

Betisis this game looks good. Some scenes are "burnt" (too much luminosity) but it seems you corrected the issue in the following updates because then the renders looks quite fine in that aspect. Could you please tell us what DAZ model you used for Gabby? She looks really well done. I think the non-teen, adult models look much better than the others, you also always posed them in a perfect way. Some faces in the younger ones are a bit too much weird in my opinion, but that is a common problem among many games it seems.
You are doing great with the story, go on with your vision whatever it is regarding cheating, NTR and all the stuff the same people always complain about. The story has to be coherent with your vision not theirs. Please check more the English texts. There is probably a bug in the scene with the sister in the daughter's room, because you repeat the previous final scene if you chose to go on with her.

Much of the criticism this VN has received has been addressed factually.
The problem started with the Mafia update, which was made a side story because of the strong negative criticism.
What was the problem here?
No free decisions that had any kind of influence in any way. In the end, the whole update could have been made into a video clip and it would have effectively made no difference. For comparison, in the first update you had the option to flirt with your colleague in the teachers' lounge or not. In the update, he jumped every almost every female that was available - with the exception of his niece.
The slap the MC gave his niece, who was on a drug trip, for having too loose a mouth. The man is a teacher who in previous updates has said of himself "I have experience in there dealing with little monsters" - if that is his approach and unless I am greatly mistaken he works at a fairly elite school - he does that once to one of his students and the parents would sue his ass into the next century.
Then towards the end of the update he was shot and it's pretty obviously implied that it's a potentially fatal wound if the doctors don't get there fast enough. Not only was there again no option here to avoid this potential bad ending, effectively Betisis had written his own MC out of its own story with this decision. For even if MC survives the gunshot wound because the doctors should arrive in time, which is doubtful since the motel is relatively remote:
1. physical recovery from such a wound is several months to years, with rehabilitation until complete mobility is restored. And it is not guaranteed that no physical damage will remain.
2, The psychological consequences of such an injury can be even stable personalities unpleasant things like PTSD, depression, anxiety disorders and somatoform disorders.
3, The main character had started his job as a teacher 1-2 days before the gunshot injury and is directly out of work for at least several months. Not only does this have the likely consequence of the school looking for another teacher to fill the likely vacant position again, but we also have a discrepancy with a previously established side story, namely the one in which the MC rushes to the aid of the two twins and gives the girls' would-be fiancé or whatever he was going to be a good punch in the nose. We don't have any information when exactly this takes place, but: In later updates we learn that it must have happened sometime between 2 main updates and under no circumstances is someone with such a gunshot wound driving around in a car and giving someone a punch in the nose. He'll be lucky if he's not in an induced coma at the time and peeing in a bag.
Then we come to the update that followed the Mafia update and revealed it to be a nightmare:
Here we have a clearly noticeable drop in text quality, meaning punctuation, spelling and the like. Also, his wife is suddenly jealous about something and suspects MC of infidelity, even if he hasn't even flirted with a colleague due to our decisions. One can argue here that this was intentional in order to have a certain element of drama later on, but with regard to the drama around the VN, it would probably have been advisable to give an explanation for this somewhere earlier in the plot. Regarding the fact that the MC was suspected of having an affair with a student, it could have been established here in earlier updates that his wife has certain trust issues with her husband. One of several examples of how potential is wasted here.
From here on I can only refer to the comments of other users: In later updates, our Sir Hump-a-lot then suddenly had seemingly erectile problems with his wife, again completely without explanation and contrary to earlier updates where this was not a problem.
The problem that Betisis has is, among other things, that it tries to address too many people at once and to have too many ideas at once but no consistent thread for its own plot. If you have four people and everyone wants either a salad, a soup, a main course or a dessert you can't expect to do all that with one dish and satisfy everyone. You will have a disgusting mass that no one really likes.
Accordingly, I can't agree with your comment: If you go into an echo chamber and factual criticism is ignored, you end up with something like Ghostbusters 2016.
At the moment, Buried Desires has nothing that is really distinctive for me: Characters are relatively interchangeable apart from preferences that one or the other may have, the MC is at best boring and at worst absolutely unlikable and with the self-confidence of a mimosa, and some options that the backstory of the MC and the plot offer are ignored and instead topics are taken up that make you wonder: Ok, when are you all finally going to Oprah Winfrey?

Maybe I was not clear in my comment, but I referred to him being free to explore themes like infidelity or sharing or plot twists, not refusing constructive critics about plot holes or incoherent stories. I am all for useful feedback but some people simply refuse or protest if a theme is in a game, so practically asking every game developer to accommodate to their taste.
The changes you listed are related to quality improvements more than censoring a thematic.
