I think that if you wanted the shooting to happen towards the MC, it shouldn't have been Sarah's mother who shot her, she should have joined the harem without so many emotional problems XD, it would have been Sarah's father who should have shot the MC before the wedding and with the excuse that he was the one who ruined his family by taking both his daughter and his wife, since one knew that he was a jerk.

Serena should have disappeared not when the MC was in a coma but rather after the birth of the MC's sons and daughters with whom they were already pregnant at this time.

The milf that was missing is Toni's mother who was in the Harem and as a wife of the MC along with Freya, Cindy and Martha.
I made a scene for Imogen during the hospital, did you go on her path and still didn't get that scene, or are you talking about something else? If that scene didn't happen that might be a bug I need to fix.

Hey Seacth !
First off congrats on finishing your project!
I just finished Depths Revival and it's definitely a game that suprises in many positive ways. I looked up the discussion here with people complaining about Serena's disappereance. While it saddens me as well I'd like to know if you have any plans for a sequel of this setting (talking about the last lines of Lera saying Serana, I guess it would be MC's daughter, disappeared). I like how the big harem ending comes with 'happiness at a high cost'. It does subvert the usual expectations of the genre quite well and I think your desired impact has been delivered quite well.

Finally I hope you have any more interesting game ideas / plotlines you might explore with future games and wish you the best!
I'm already working on the sequel, but the old cast is only going to be a really minor part of the sequel. We'll be controlling another character who awakens his subconscious to fix his life, and you're right it is the daughter of MC who's missing.

In theory I should have it on the path that she is submissive but I did not see her in the hospital, but I think I will play the game from scratch, to see if I can unlock that scene only via Martha and Freya.

So I'll go with the unseen text to get to the hospital. I don't know if there is a user who has had the game since the last two updates and can verify that she appears in the hospital.

Spoiler tag that, I just finished the game and those events took me off guard.
Found it was quite fitting and to be honest a bit emotional.

Would have liked to see a route to get the "perfect set" mother daughter combo's.

I sure hope it does, 'cause that is the guy leaked my project and said I should rework this 'shit' ending. I have nothing against people who hate the ending or call it bad, that just means they cared about this project enough to feel bad about it but calling it a shit ending and asking for it to be reworked is not criticism. I don't think anyone needs the support of that kind of guy.
I just finished the game as mentioned above and went the harem route.

I liked and enjoyed the ending, it was surprising especially the

but it felt somehow right and had an emotional twist to it.

It also makes sense for a very emotional person who is inebriated to make weird decisions.

It seems that my old files were what made it not appear in the hospital, making it look like I had rejected it. In both Paths it appears without any problem.

I'm sure there's a word for this phenomenon in German.
It's probably 40 letters long and means something like, "young man destroying something he loves because he doesn't deserve anything good and somehow feels that life should punish his efforts with rejection" .... whatever that word is in gerrman I think I and half the white men over 40 who use twitter probably have it too..
no idea if you all ready got your answer but your searching for the phrase "selbst sabotage" not quite 40 letters but its expresses pretty much exactly were searching in German


In worst case that kind of behaviour from the so called critics can lead devs even stopping their projects and never publishing anything again.
i would have honestly preferred that outcome to what we got, so i would be somewhat sad, but i wouldn't have the feeling that i wasted years playing this game.
but hey silver lining now i know that i don't need to play his next game, because it will only end in another disappointment.

All my saves from the last update are now broken. Can anyone share me a harem save, or a fix? I'd like to see this ending everyone is so unhappy about

You can skip to the latest chapter by starting a new game.

Personally i don't feel the ending was that disappointing, even if i heavily do dislike the bit that everyone else hates. It still had plenty of things i liked. Also that's pretty strict thinking, that one ending you don't like will tar rest of their games for all eternity. There's plenty of writers who have made bad endings in some of their stories and still made pure gold after that.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ its a a character flaw of mine not going to sugarcoat it but disappointments like that stick with me practically forever and yes they pretty much taint the rest of the product no matter if movie, show or game forever. Stellar endings can elevate a mediocre product into something great like Spec Ops the Line it was in pretty much every metric mediocre but the ending made it a great game that's still talked about more then a decade later.

Back when Assassins Greed 3 came out, I had the time of my life with the game. Till my brother finished the game and the end Cutscene was such a let down that i never touched the game again. Then Assassins Greed 4 was also a let down after they said that they liked the Ship battles in 3 so much that the decided to make the next game in the Caribbean with pirates and focus on the ship battles as an central gameplay mechanic, just to fuck it up.

I can go for hours about stuff that disappointed me. This game gave me the best vanilla ice cream on this side and now when i was hyped for a grand finale of my favourite vanilla ice cream and i got chilly ice cream. Its a let down all around one that will stay with me far longer than it should.

How to go from one of the best and most loved harem games, to the most hated game... Speed Run addition.

ANd of course, it's by killing a beloved LI, and jebaited NTR. (the daughters were teased to fuck MC, but now are gonna fuck new MC... you can't make this shit up man).

Seacth :KEK: have fun reaping what you've sown. Already killing off most of your audience before releasing the new game, ain't many gonna trust you to give it a decent ending now.

Seriously, killing off Serena... you done fucked up hard XD

Only dev that has you beat is the dev of Joy and Sorrow.

Before you try to cope, you ain't getting review bombed, you're just getting authentic reviews :BootyTime:

I'm halfway tempted to just delete this update before even playing it, based on what I have been reading about the ending as it sounds like I'll probably delete it anyway when I get to the ending.
Bruv, just rip off the band-aid. Let it die, don't waste your time.

I'm not going too, already know how trash the ending is (have friends that unfortunately played it, two of which were paid subs... until now), so not worth it.

Save your sanity, go play games that respect the players and their investment (time and money).

Ending wasn't very good at all. Last update didn't need any drama. Could have show the wedding, the celebration, mc at the hospital waiting on the childbirths and it would have been epic. It was a major letdown. In a coma, never even got to be there for his kids to be born. Last episode needed 0 drama, Gloria could have joined the family like Cindy. It's like getting kicked in the balls after awaiting a happy ending after so long. You're better off deleting the game after the end of the previous update. And rushing to put content out just to release something is bad, especially for an ending. People would happily wait on a perfect ending than have to play what we got.
All the dev did was shoot himself in the foot. No one will want to play if they read how crappy the ending is. All you did was take all those years of work and threw it into the shitter. You say a player needs to feel something, why can't they feel a happy ending to a good vn and you be remembered for it? Now you will be remembered as the dev who killed his own vn with a crappy end. All you had to do was put in a yes or no choice when the girls was asking Gloria to move in. If you choose yes, she gets better and we see a happy ending. No, we get the bad ending we have now

I kind of liked it in a bittersweet way.
MC overreached and got greedy, it worked with most characters but it didn't with an emotionally unstable and drunk grieving mother.

The negative is that it wasn't a player decision Seacth adding a split after the wedding, letting the MC reject or "fix" Gloria would be nice.

Allowing the MC to be there for the birth of his children for people that would like to have a good ending.

Personally I also would like to see a "perfect" ending.
Many games have bad endings, the canon ending and the perfect ending.
