Hi Two issues have been reported with this current update, and they are both our faults.

1) The proofreading for this update. Well, we did it. We just forgot to replace the old file, with the proofread one. That's an easy fix, and we'll replace it for the release on the 25'th. For those who are more impatient, they can download the file I'll link right here, and overwrite the old one.

Just copy over in the "game/" directory. Overwrite when prompted. This is the proofread file.

2) There is a bug causing the MC to be with Adriana even if he rejected her. The player is allowed to go on the Adriana trip, even if that's not supposed to happen unless he's in a relationship with her. Blame that on miscommunication between us. The bug occurred 3 updates ago. But since the consequences happened in this one, no one really noticed. There are 2 ways we can deal with this. a) Fix the bug. But that would require players to go back to a save from before the June update. b) Make it a feature. Basically make a small third path for players who's choices triggered the bug. Just a couple of extra scenes to recreate the continuity. That will require those players to wait until the October update for it to be fixed. That's probably what we're going to do since it's the least disruptive, I think. Viit

She is not a pure waifu anymore, some people feels NTR'ed by the Dev after the revelation.

That's good, I didn't want this I didn't ask for this I could careless about Haley I never knew this game would turn into this incest mess this was a fantastic game until this incest was introduced into it worse thing about it is Dev forces you into a relationship with your sister you cant avoid it I hate when I'm forced into something I honestly believe this was not the original vision for this game things got changed first and foremost the MC has plenty of girls why on earth would I want my sister, how is Haley more attractive than Sandra or any other girl that's around the MC and I've not played this update and I think I missed the last one also but it seems from comments that Haley was raped and began to love her rapist‍♂‍♂ No nonononono what type of nonesense is this. I also saw one person post that Sandra was raped also in the past DEV REALLY what the hell is going on to this game you know why people fell in love with titles like Haleys Story what's the other ones Babysiter, and the two with the Jenson MC and that same girl I think one is Alexis her dad's a mob boss my point is these are pure Vanilla love Stories theres no room for these kinks and fetishes here feels weird and odd how even with those other titles how the Devs start to throw in these weird out of place traits from the cast of characters let's be coy here majority of us don't have fetishes so if it's a vanilla game keep it like that

Dev forces you into a relationship with your sister

What? It is a game with a male protagonist. And the game is named after his sister. What did you expect? Nobody is forcing you into anything. If you don't like the premise play something else.

 

[Danathor]

I've only played until 0.5 and I liked it a lot. Except for the little thing that I'm forced into a relationship with the black girl (forgot her name).
But after what I read here ..... rape?
I'm out. I realize that the author makes the decisions here, but why was that necessary?
Sounds like NTR and I hate that.

You know the game is called "Haley's story" right? It's not called Sandra's story, or "MC's story". If you don't care about the character the game is named after, why on earth play the game?

Two people who have no idea what's going on in the game (they're not playing it) and yet come here to delight us with their clever opinions.

I think Haley is actually jealous of her brother's relationship with Sandra, but as she looks at it, what are the choices if she were to put her foot down about it? She risks possibly losing her relationship with her brother and possibly a friendship with Sandra. Also there must be a part of her that must think this relationship with her brother can only be a temporary fling before they all calm back down to a more normal life style, that considered then she likes Sandra, knows her brother likes Sandra, and that they would be a good fit together. Her placing her brother's future happiness over her own is in my opinion another character plus for Haley.

To the trolling point, there are always going to be trolls, but having a healthy disagreement about something doesn't always have to degenerate into an argument

Truer words have never been spoken my brother, this man here needs a standing ovation

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Someone should take down that 1 star review. It's not because he gave one star, but because the first thing he mentions is a big ass spoiler like come on dude. Some people like to read reviews before trying out the game.

I've reported both of them on the grounds that they spoil the story and have asked that they be removed.

 

[Alfius]

Oh, i'm sorry troll. I corrected it to actually be accurate on that part. I am not just speaking for myself cause others have already voiced WHY they see this story turning into pure garbage. Just because I made the comment it needs more porn in a porn game and less drama is in no way offensive to you or anyone else. I should not have to provide stunning commentary about why since those points have already been made. If you have an issue with that, go disparage all those other people as well otherwise your behavior is just as inconsistent with the person I was originally replying to.

Same points that have already been made. The vast majority of you are arguing for the sake of arguing and then some are already attempting to be trolls cause they can't force others into their perspective. Tough, deal with the fact not everyone is going to like what is happening in any given story. Those of us that don't, are not in any way saying for you not to play the game or not to like it. That's your choice. The same as it is the rest of ours that don't like it can express our opinions here in kind fashion.

The fact that you call a fellow poster a troll, right of the bat is, already a bad reflection on you and shows bad faith arguments.
Name calling might feel good, but is really not a good way to bring your point accross.

It is clear that some people dislike the direction where the game is heading, and some people, like me, are liking the new direction as it puts more meat on the characters. I don't expect everyone to like it, and yes, I play game for the erotic content, but for me, as for other people, porn that is not the primary reason I play this game. If I just wanted porn, I would go to Pornhub. I also don't enjoy porn games on here with mindless porn. I like some character development, good story telling, believable scenarios etc. in the game.

So to then hear other people saying where is the porn in a porn game, well maybe not in this game would be my answer.
In the end it does not matter what I or anyone else thinks, the Dev is writing the game he wants to write. It's still the same Dev that started with the original story that everyone loved. I trust that dev to write the story he wants to write.

My pet peeve is people wanting to change the dev's mind in terms of the story he wants to write. Share your opinion no issues, but please, let the dev write his story.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Aside of the insults to people you disagree with, I agree with the above +
Some rape victims or victims-of-statutory rape (seduced when 15-years old) feel shame over what they have done, and Haley's mother reaction (probably blaming or partially-blaming her daughter) wouldn't help.

I would be lying if I said that I wouldn't want to fuck some of my pretty teachers when I was 14, but I am happy it didn't happen. I would have taken it quite bad after the relationship ended and I figured out I was a notch in their bed.

I think this is probably one of the best takes I've seen on this whole issue and it's something I didn't really consider, but you're right. There is an element of people who were raped/groomed feeling shame, like it was their fault and they are somehow to blame, because that's how their assailant makes them feel and Haley could very well be going through this.

I also think there could be an element of Haley still not realising the gravity of what happened to her and believing that her teacher actually cared for when he was really just using her. Her mother probably tried convincing her of that and it's why Haley resents her because, in her mind, what she had with her teacher was real and now she feels like the MC is trying to do the same. It would also explain why the mother doesn't have a lot of faith in Haley because she regards her as having poor judgment because of this incident with the teacher.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Not a big fan of this update, while I don't mind Haley having a past and other partner but IMHO its implied that Haley was the one giving blowjob and that she was promiscuous as a means of distracting herself from her attraction to the MC, sleeping with the teacher and what not for that purpose.

Everyone has a past and a history of other lovers is fine but to use an analogy there is a difference between buying a used car and buying the community bike and this update gave me the impression that she was at one point fucking everyone to distract herself from the MC.

Also had the bug/issue with Adriana, not in relationship but is treated as if I am.

So if a woman who has multiple sexual partners is a used bike, what does that make a guy who has multiple sexual partners?
Should he be regarded as a used up form of transport by women or do you think it's OK for men but not for women?

God, this kind of outdated, misogynistic way of thinking really makes my blood boil.

Judging from the recent reviews, some people are disappointed because of the sudden narrative transition that was executed poorly. Personally I think the added drama from the last couple of updates makes the title a lot more generic than before. IMO the game shines in the interactions between the different characters and especially between the siblings. It was a nice, lighthearted visual novel with realistic (for an adult game) dialogue and that's what made it stand out from the many other boring, vanilla stories out there.

Now things are taking a darker turn and I'm not a big fan of it, mainly as it's a very convenient shortcut to maintain interest in your project by sprinkling over it some "mature themes" out of the blue. We've seen it numerous times before. To me it looks lazy and I'm kind of surprised by it since the writing was top-notch from the start. The whole character exposition was so rushed in 0.55 it almost gave me vibes of being a character summary - "here's the things you need to know before ACT II, now here's your statutory rape, bro!". And with 0.60 it just solidifies this will be the next big conflict, stretched out for story development purposes and I'm really not feeling it so far. I'll give it another update or two to see how things will progress, but if that is the established course the devs want to take, I'll just drop it as I generally don't like drastic tone shifts.

A "realistic" lighthearted VN about two siblings fucking each other is anything but realistic.

What is realistic, is finding out that one of the two (the one initiating) or both are a bit fucked up in the head and the reasons why. Something very rare in this genre of games, where incest is treated as a taboo at first but it all evaporates after the first dicking. If you really want "realistic" you can't have incest without some mental issues.

I'm not saying you can't have a lighthearted game with this theme that's good. I just find it refreshing that a game in that genre decided to take a more mature approach.

By realistic and lighthearted I meant in the context of the adult video game medium. Nobody was doing any incest until the last two updates. There was another path where the MC can be loyal to Sandra that got shafted because players didn't like it. "Haley's Story" doesn't necessary mean she has to fuck her brother. It just means the game is telling her story. It could've been about dealing with her feelings purely on platonic level and getting over it eventually (not saying that would've been the right choice for the purpose of the story). The original game pitch was just two siblings living together and exploring the world around them. If we're talking realistic by IRL standards expect rampant alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse and low level education to follow shortly.

Well, it's not NTR.

It would also explain why the mother doesn't have a lot of faith in Haley because she regards her as having poor judgment because of this incident with the teacher.

IMO, Haley clearly goes through this. First, see how she reacts with the other-elephant-in-the-room: that Sandra is a nice girl that will be hurt. She evades the subject and throws all the decision making to her brother trying to avoid the issue. Judging by that, I would expect she did more or less the same about "I am fucking my married teacher".

While it could be what you say, that Haley "wants to protect" what she thinks she had with her teacher and her mother was giving her a wake-up call, I think that at least to some degree, her mother said "He's horrible but you shouldn't have rubbed on him. He was a married man." It could be a mix of both, or you may be right, but even if her mother didn't blame \ partially-blamed the 15-years-old for seducing the married 48-years-old I believe it would play in Haley's mind.



THAT SAID: That this game spawned lengthy discussions about the title character and her experiences, with may different views and takes, is IMO a testament that the direction the game took is a good one, not an easy one.

We both know this game was meant to revolve around MC's and Haley's taboo relationship from the start. And if by "exploring the world" you mean exploring each other's genitals, then yes that was always the main theme of the game. You won't see that clearly illustrated in a description of any Patreon game. It was never meant to be a game about MC and the random chick who's not in the game title.

And realistic incest story doesn't have to go for the abusive redneck stereotype. There is plenty of taboo going on in middle/high class urban settings too.

A realistic incest story doesn't have to go for one of the parties being abused in their child development years stereotype either, but here we are. It's a mark of a good writer who manages to create conflict out of trivial interactions and a mark of a bad one who has to make his characters suffer, so their actions and feelings in the present can be validated by their past experiences. Either way let's agree to disagree.

Adult games and VNs on this site with deep characters and a serious story to tell are so rare and many like this one are really good. But too many people still expect these games to have wall-to-wall sexual action with one-dimensional female characters and every time that expectation is upended with serious drama they get all bent out of shape because what they view as just a simple porn game doesn't have as much porn as they'd like. The devs in this case are trying to tell a more serious story where sex is involved but these people can't appreciate it.
