Between 0.98 CE and the latest version? As far as I know:
- bug fixes
- Steam-specific fixes (19 Sep 2019)
- censorship (at least on Steam; BTW: it is not Dual Family anymore, but DF)
- walkthrough
- additional 4K nude pinups
What is more, there is the Last Christmas standalone DLC.

ok once again,
dual family last christmas is new version with this game? or remake?
Its a side story that is unconnected to the main game aside from giving further context. Other than that the game is the same as its been for years.

A version was recently released on gamcore 6.2 I think. Is this ve4si9n further developed?

It is probably an online port of RE edition of new version (from Sep 2019, with censorship by default) with chapter-skip feature (you can fast omit old chapters) and unlimited saves (the previous limit was 6 per MC, 12 in total), but limited to chapter 8. So, it is a demo, similar to what we have here:

Although this one was limited to chapter 6 (before the fly), if I good remember.

BTW: it is probably based on the same engine used in Urban Voyeur. It was also used for online edition of Dreams of Desire, Melody and Milfy City. So, Monogatari instead of RenPy/RenPyWeb.

Anyway, it should be an equivalent of "DUAL FAMILY [Act I - Part VIII] Release!" (0.0.91 RE) released two years ago, but with bugfixes and minor changes in the story.


TL;DR: Probably the latest free version (chapter 1-8), online regular edition.

BTW, there is no rape scene with our aunt in the latest version. She fully agrees to have sex with us. :D

Not surprisingly that these silly reports were completely ignored. :KEK:
This is how it ends when you report a game that you don't even own. :LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO:

What's going on with those weird angles and shitty lighting? Is the whole game like this? I haven't played it yet.

Yep and the dialogue is the pretty much the same. I appreciate some good story telling and sophisticated language, but this game just tries way too hard a lot of the time.
While I can agree with statement that the dev isn't reliable, the story itself was pretty nice. It was probably one of the best on this site. Even now, most new titles are focused on sex instead of story. Like, Milfy City or Man of the House - they are not bad games, but their stories are very weak.
To measure story maturity, everyone should ask themselves - would the game still make sense without sex? Could it be adapted in a serious drama movie or book? In most cases, the answer is no.

This scene takes place at night, where the characters don't want to wake up the household. What light did you expect?
As for weird angles - no, not whole game is like this, but such scenes are still pretty common.
Here you have an example gameplay:

Here you have an example gameplay:
It's called the 'Dutch' angle, it's supposed to be used in a way to usually help create an unsettling mood or convey some tension, Gumdrops freely abuses it and has it haphazardly thrown in throughout the whole game (thus entirely losing its impact).

This is because this game is not 'art' but more an imitation of what it thinks is 'art.' It understands the rudimentary principles of how to look and maybe even feel artistic, but it lacks the soul of actually having something real to say, and is really little more than the shallow reflection of a developer pretty much on a borderline narcissistic power trip with his gullible followers, half torn between a desire to just keep the cash rolling in and half because he genuinely believes his own self made prophecy that he's the dev whose gonna deliver unto us and the world his 'magnum opus.'

But really, the only latin that should apply to this game is Res ipsa loquitur.

I'd say it could be nice if it was actually going anywhere, besides the fact that there was no update for like 1 1/2 at least, maybe even 2 years already it was too complicated and tried way too hard to sound too sophisticated. It's like one of those politicians or professors that use way too many loanwords and such without getting to the point.
