I last played this game about a year ago. And now a new update is coming out soon. Let's see what the game has become during the time I haven't played. So far I only remember that Ellie is so damn hot...

When this wonderful game is complete, there will be a remake of the other Shadow game ?

Is this primarily a single-route game or harem/partial harem? I've been flirting with everyone but so far I've gotten way more content with Steph than anyone else (multiple stays over, calling herself mg GF after rugby, etc) so I get the impression I've locked into her route

Single routes, couple of diff potential throuples, one possible mini harem/3 girls (I say possible as while in progress, they do not all know you're fucking about with them all....soooo lol).

Defending Lydia Collier v.0.16.1 Release Date

Hello everybody!
I'm very happy to announce that Defending Lydia Collier v.0.16.1 will be released on Friday the 7th of June!
Defending Lydia Collier's v.0.16.1 update will feature:

The return of Vanessa, Tiffany and co to the UK, featuring a new scene with Tiffany, Vanessa and Sophie, rejoining all of the branches back together for the next major big day in the story.
Tiffany's phone being added, with a collection of photos of her and her friends for you to browse through and the start of a path to unlock some of Tiffany's most secret images that'll conclude later on Monday.
54 new achievements, each with 54 unlockable images as rewards for unlocking them, and a new gallery to keep them all.
New quality of life changes to the earlier days including;
In-game warnings when a choice will end a path.
An end to the mandatory computer scouring on repeat playthroughs, persistent flags will let you skip through without betting, finding Eve, or finding Yennifer if you've already done it before.
New opportunities to work on the Helton or Divine Health projects on some of the less interesting early evenings.
Couple of new side images to replace some of the worst old ones.
Audio to Ellie's night out in London that was missing.
Re-encoding some of the overly sized early videos to slightly reduce game size.

I released a small part of the update with all of the achievements to Alpha testers at the beginning of the weekend and am now just awaiting any feedback or problems from them, although I've played through several times myself and unlocked them all, and finishing off a few more renders for the Vanessa content, so it will be a smooth launch on the 7th.
With everything achievement wise being brand new code, you will need to replay the game to unlock them. If you're not fussed, this won't break saves and you don't need to do anything.
Thanks for all the new and continued support!

Gotcha... so if you try to go for them all you'll eventually have to break off most of them. Are any of them especially hurt by it, or just disappointed but understanding?
Just asking so I know if there's anyone I should entirely avoid on my main save and make a separate save for

Some end early (as you are caught etc)...some of the paths overlap so going for one closes another. There are a few cheating paths, to my knowledge (I'm a couple of updates behind because lately they have been route updates for one LI) some of them you have not been caught out yet heh...as for calling off/getting caught, it varies by LI...one is definitely very pissed at you and can lead to unfortunate early game end. I would advise making use of the walkthrough after a first run to ensure you get onto a specific path/route (as a couple are a little tricky to get on).

But yes, if you try and have your cake it probably isn't going to end well...

I'm actually using the WT mod (I never mind minor spoilers when it means saving time; got a monster of a VN backlog after all :p), so finding paths isn't a worry. I was more just trying to figure out how far I could go with flirting and such without causing inevitable conflict. Think I'll go ahead and start over and just do dedicated playthroughs for specific routes.
Which pairs of girls were you referring to before when you mentioned throuples?

In a game game like this, with so many different paths, a LI path guide is almost a necessity if you want to see them all. Especially since there's throuple+ paths. You can make one wrong subtle choice and miss out. Things like chosing between sprinting and jogging literally determines an LI path. It would be nice if the dev built one we could turn on and off in the settings. (hint-hint :p)

You can have Ellie/Lydia, I think possibly Bimbo Steph/Lydia, then there is the possibility of a Jenna/x throuple and numerous (Dark)Ellie paths with her sisters & mother and possibly a Vanessa/Sophie coupling (though that one is an interesting path).

If interested, these are my saves (Not all combo's may be possible, I'm keeping my options open heh):
