Dev made post on discord explaining a lot of stuff on how game was supposed to be orginally and how different it is now from how it was before, it was supposed to be WAY smaller game was supposed with us escaping to islands, there was multiple ways to do it but that was supposed to end there, escaping to islands was supposed to trigger one of multiple endings.
Here is full post from dev, including new direction of game, roadmap and stuff:
"GENERAL ROADMAP FOR 2024
Hello Everyone!
Today I’m going to be talking about the general direction/roadmap for Claire’s Quest for the rest of 2024, alongside answering some FAQs that pop up a lot!
So, for starters, Claire’s Quest is currently on 0.27.1 as of this post, and by the end of the 0.27 version series, the Rangers Questline should be concluded - which marks the first completion of a major questline in Claire’s Quest! Also, in the preceding 0.26 version series, we wrapped up the longest sidequest storyline so far - the Baker Family storyline!
These are two pretty big milestones which I’d hope justify the pivot away from our original approach - which was to try and keep all the separate storylines roughly up to par as development progressed. Instead, we’re now focusing solely on specific questlines and pushing them to completion rather than ‘spreading out’ so as to speak. The big positive is having finished storylines which should bring more satisfaction to players who were getting disappointed by the lack of completed stories. Obviously, the big negative is that fans of certain questlines that aren’t the current priority are sort of left waiting by the wayside. However, we’ve tried to ensure that with the prioritised questlines, a variety of flavours and kinks get worked on, so that there’s hopefully something for everyone with each update.
Now then, going forward, the goal for 2024 is to reach version series 0.30! And by that point, the following should be done:
Baker Family sidequests - > Isander’s sidequest, ‘Most Wanted’
Rangers Questline -> Claire’s Breeding Ranch Business
Temple/Sisters of Fertility Questline -> Mercenary, or Thieves Questline - may put up to a vote!
And now, to answer some FAQs! —— Q: When will Claire’s Quest be finished?
A: Honestly? It was supposed to finish with the Prologue. Or at least, that was literally the entirety of my initial idea for Claire’s Quest. You see, the titular quest was literally just her quest to get away from the invasion and to the Isles, one way or another.
I primarily wanted to portray that initial rush, that terror of Claire being thrown out into an unknown world, and desperately trying to escape, and having multiple routes and options to do so. Then, making it to the Isles would trigger one of multiple endings (that you now see in-game as continuing quests rather than endings). I actually finished all that, then went on to make Overgrown: Genesis.
However, Claire’s Quest really grew in popularity and there was a big demand for more. At this point I was already mid-dev for Overgrown: Genesis, but didn’t want to leave people hanging when it came to Claire’s Quest either, so I ended up doing both at once, which led to most hectic few years of my life for awhile there!
Q: It’s been almost 5 years of development! Why is Claire’s Quest taking so long, when Overgrown: Genesis finished in 3 years?
A: Well, TL;DR, because there was literally no end goal for Claire’s Quest, which has led to it now being almost three times the size of Overgrown: Genesis in content and length
See, things sort of got easier once Overgrown: Genesis wrapped up development, and I could turn my focus to Claire’s Quest in full. However, at this point, Claire’s Quest still didn’t have a main storyline… because it was never meant to have one! So I just started adding whatever people wanted. The game was meant to end at the Prologue, but people wanted to see the Isles - so I added in Rathpike. Then there was a demand for Valos because a lot of people found Rathpike too depressing (lol), so I added Valos. And since I didn’t really have any plans beyond the Prologue, I also begun accepting ideas and storyline commissions from players, which led to the creation of the Temple/Sister of Fertility, the Rangers, and so on so forth.
So Claire’s Quest just grew and grew, and I happily sort of just accepted ideas and suggestions here and there because, why not?
You guys would say, “Hey Arch, wouldn’t a Gallery be nifty?” … Heck yeah, it would! Let’s make one!
Someone else would say, “Hey Arch, pregnancy system when?” … Hm, now! Now seems like a good time! Let’s put that in!
And my favourite one, “Isn’t Claire kind of a shitty person for running away to the Isles and forgetting all about her mum to just have fun on her own?
Let me go back and save mommy!” … Alright, fine! Let’s return to the Prologue and literally add in the whole of Rivermont!
… So yeah, that ended up happening, and soon we started getting questions of, “Hey what is Claire’s actual quest? There’s no main story, it’s just Skyrim-ish running around doing whatever!”
Which brings me to my next point.
Q: So what is Claire’s actual quest as of now?
A: Well… Since the game has exploded well beyond the original scope of her quest to just escape to the Isles, I had to spend awhile poring over everything that was already in the game, and wondering how the heck to tie it all together to some coherent, overarching storyline. It took quite some time, and a bit of retconning here and there, but we got there in the end!
So, here it is (spoiler alert): Claire’s Quest involves…

Well, that does explain a number of things about Claires Quest's rate of development. If anything, it's good to see they're finally going to focus on finishing off sidequests rather than spreading crumbs of progress everywhere.
Will have to see where this ends up a couple of months in.

Serious question for those who have played the v0-27.1 in full. Is the gallery room up to date to the content of the game or there are scenes that exist in the game but do not show on the gallery? Kinda like secret scenes. I might be a little paranoid here but i believe some content is untracked by the gallery. 
There are a couple of scenes i know that are not in the gallery. Like the scene where you capture one of the female rangers having bestiality sex or the followup scene after one of the fertility quests where you need to fix the marriage of the young plutocrat and his wife. There are all so variations of the basic repeatable scenes that cant be viewed in the gallery. Like the second barmaid rape scene where Claire (if she is depraved) enjoys it. There may be more.
Most of the scenes in the gallery are affected by whatever stats Claire currently has; just adjust your stats for the latter.
The former I'm not sure what you're talking about since the only Ranger who willingly engages in bestiality (that we're privy to, apart from Claire if you've elected) is Roxanne, and her scenes are definitely there. The scene with the Ranger being raped by the tiger while Talin is forced to watch and assaulted is also in the gallery, so... again, unsure what scene you're referring to that isn't there...
Other than the demon/incubus scene (which evidently was intentionally removed since it was supposedly a collab that fell through? The image files are still there... Dunno, I could just be forgetting which quest initiates it, it's been ages since I bothered with doing everything possible in a version), everything is there.
The barmaid scene regardless of stats always plays the first version - where Claire is being ambushed by the patrons of the inn and raped. She might start to enjoy if she might not (depending on stats) , the second time plays different because she is expecting them (if depraved) and starts willingly fucking them the moment they gang up on her. The scene with the rangers is a short one i remember when you enter to get one of your costumes you spy on a lady ranger fucking her pet (pretty sure that's not what you are referring to). And finally you have a followup scene with the plutocrat family that you get the shard from that is not in the gallery. It triggers when you enter their respective bedrooms after the cuck scene.

Have you tried altering your stats with the Cheats to get the other versions to play? From what i recall they should be there, but it checks which version to play based on your current stats and doesn't give you the choice of which to view if the variations are small enough.
Again we are talking about different scenes here with the same art . So it docent matter what your stats are. Try it yourself.

You have to wait a few weeks. The version provided here is different from the Steam or Patron versions. Just for God's sake don't ask what the difference is. Look in previous posts. Or on the Steam forum post: F.A.Q. & New Player Resources. And the (Collector's Edition) is always the last one to come out. If you want it faster, either purchase on Steam or Patron. Additionally, it is on mobile, but I don't know what version of the game it is.

No, that's actually what i was talking about. Taking the barmaid scene you mentioned as an example:
Gallery scene with 8 or less Depravity:
Gallery scene with 9+ Depravity:
It's a bit tricky to get the variation you want since it's tied to the stats you have when you choose to view it, but the variations are there.
Is there any way to avoid getting locked up by Lawrence, or are you forced to give in to him? If not, it's curious that this quest is counterintuitive when you do a defiance/intrigue build and this is unavoidable
