What happened to this game? Are Party Hall, TV Ds, etc. all separate games? What happened to the original game? I haven't downloaded anything since then.

Short answer: Don't.
In Legacy: the father has sex with 2 women, the son has sex with 3 women. No one has sex with either the daughter or the mother.
In Part II: no one has sex.
Neither part advances the storyline in any way toward climax and resolution.

If you follow my comments on the thread you may be surprised by the incongruity of my opinions. I am not as salty about the original game as one would think, but I am very direct in telling people that if they are looking for an incest-focused pornographic VN this isn't the bus you want to catch. I actually admire the original as a game and as a story but I came to the party fairly late after several years without updates and almost immediately there was a brief update and the release of part two. Therefore, I don't have the history of frustration that long-time fans have. Instead, I find myself kind of at peace with the fact that the original VN is dead right at the biggest cliffhanger in both playthroughs.
However, this does not mean that I'm not going to dunk on the dev for what they are doing with Part II. For one thing, calling it Part II is a failure of nomenclature. A total misnomer. Calling it that indicates that there is a continuation of the story. I would soften my opinion if it was called something else because I am all about freedom of expression. I have an MFA in creative writing & poetics and would characterize this work as a marginally interesting experimental fiction. It is indeed interesting to look at it purely as a piece of art but, in context, it fails as it only exists to subvert expectations and frustrate its audience. While at the same time stringing them along and taking their money. This makes it cease to be a real work of art and instead positions it as a grift.
So the saddest thing about this is that Part II is eroding any kind of goodwill that I have toward the original game. This is a pity because I quite enjoyed it. Normally I am of the opinion that if you don't like a sequel or an adaption then the original still exists and they can't take that away from you. However, in this case, the continuation - if you can call it that - is poisoning the well and extracting any enjoyment that I had with the original material. That in itself is an impressive if dubious accomplishment.

After several months of this dev's return, I am not interested in any of his works and not downloading anything from him anymore. Even without bad history of his shallow footsteps, he just became a pitiful dev with obsolete techniques and uninteresting ideas. There are a lot of new devs with excellent skills and immersive stories who appear almost every week on this site. My targeted games are 1 y/o VNs with 1M-2M viewers and good rating. I found they are usually gold in comparison to this crap. My new favorites have been Summer Scent, Heart Problem, and Summer Story.

No this is complete trash no game one content this is a complete pile of poo

Yes it is the same but just a little bit more though.
To me, part II seems to be part of a fever dream from someone on a lot of drugs, and I have no idea what is going on in this fucked up crap.
The main story is the real game and its just a little bit more than the original game, I would hold off if you played the original game for at least 2-3 more updates of the "Main Game" before playing again.

Yes I LOVE guessing what button I am supposed to push and not getting anywhere!! It is SO much FUN!! I have NEVER had so much fun EVER!!
Gumdrop managed to expand his scope.
Download the game to extract assets = Game will punish you and you will feel horrible if you see what "art" is in the game.
Download the game by accident or decide against extracting assets = Game will punish you and you will feel horrible for having wasted bandwidth.
Have any hopes for this game to be completed = Game will punish you and you will feel horrible for realizing it will never live up to its potential.

Repeating my previous response:
Adding:
You can go request someone to port it in the Android Port Requests thread. Looks like no one ever has made a proper request (using the search box for "dual," "DF," and "gumdrop"). That said, you have noticed that this has shit reviews and over 800 pages of people discussing how terrible it is and that there is no expected content in this product. No one sexes the mother or the daughter in this.

Trying to play this game is what you did wrong.
Sometimes saving and restarting the game fixes it.
