Well just imagine that the one star I'm forced to give this game is for it actually being somewhat playable then, problem solved.

Hi Community,
I am a bit confused.
Which file should I install?
1) pre-patch?
or
2) official compressed?
Also, what is this Incest Patch? Is it included in either of these versions, or do I need to install it?
Btw, what does this patch do?

What you should download depends on what you want. If you want the incest version, download from the pre-patched line on the OP. If you don't want incest, you have to use the version from Patreon. Here's a link to my earlier post which has links to the Patreon downloads. My earlier post
If you choose the incest option, Haley and the MC are twins. Otherwise, they're not - they just grew up together and are the same age.
Basically, you can forget about the patch if you use F95. It's already applied to the 'pre-patched' downloads.
Whether to use compressed or not, is another issue. It depends on how long you want to wait for the download, which is nearly 7 gigs uncompressed. Whereas the compressed version comes in at about 2 gigs. To my knowledge, the compressed version is also 'pre-patched', but I can't guarantee that since I've never used it myself. If I'm wrong, it wouldn't take long to download and apply the patch.
There is a walkthrough pinned in the first post of the thread, listing all the choices you have in the game. If it doesn't help enough, you can pair it with the decion tree I shared in this post.

4, three of those having slightly different pregnant variants. Yes, they are all "good" endings.
Wow, thanks for taking your time out for replying.What you should download depends on what you want. If you want the incest version, download from the pre-patched line on the OP.

This answers my question - pre-patched is the way

Not a word on Patreon. They took some time off, but could be back soon. I think they are looking for a rollout of the new game in September (20th?), but I would hope to hear something before then.

Here it is! Next game preview:
On The taming of the brat
Hey
We're back from vacation and working hard on our next project. Since " The taming of the brat" seems to be the more popular choice, that's what it's name will be.
First some technical things. We're working on the demo and should have it ready on the 20'th as usual. The only thing that might delay us would be the UI. Finding the artwork for it that fits the content of our story.
I'll give you two versions of what the game will be about. One without spoilers. Which I'll write first. And one with spoilers. Which you shouldn't read, if you don't want any.
First without spoilers:
In many ways, it will be a game similar to Haley. Meaning a slice of life story. No magic, superpowers, crazy and unrealistic characters etc... This is the type of story we enjoy. And this is the type of story you probably enjoy as well since you were supporters of Haley's story. Smaller is size than that, and a bit more contained, it will have 2 main love interests. An older girl, and a younger one. Much like "Haley's story" the number of love interests will be limited, and more time will be devoted to fleshing out their personalities and quirks. Unlike Haley's, the story this time will revolve around the MC, and because of that, we plan on giving him an internal monologue.
This is as much as I can say without any spoilers whatsoever. If you don't want to be spoiled, please don't read on since patreon doesn't have a way for me to hide text, as far as I can see.
With spoilers.
Starting next week, I'll resume my usual Sunday progress reports. And the release date is scheduled for the 20'th. Hope to see you then.

Did we play the same game? I had a few issues with a particular part of the story in the early mid-game, that massively blunted what would otherwise be a touching scene, but overall, Haley's Story is a very good game, with realistic characters, unlike 98% of other games on this site. I think I appreciate it most, not for the wish fulfillment fantasy stories you get with most games here, but with the realistic portrayal of flawed characters. Some of the decisions they made were not what I would have hoped, but they are not me, and in real life most people don't always make the best decisions all the time.
I guess if you were expecting it to meet a particular fetish or plot point exactly to your preference, you might be disappointed or frustrated, but that just means that the game isn't ideal for your tastes, not that it deserves a zero rating.
It has a bit of a melancholy tone throughout, so I can't say it was pleasant at all times, but sometimes less than pleasant stories are good to experience, and this is one of those cases. I laughed at times, and enjoyed the interaction between most of the characters, so while not a perfect fit for all my tastes, I am glad I played it, and it will have a positive place in my memory long after most of the games I've played are long forgotten.
I am honestly curious, if you had to distill it down to one or two points, what are the main reasons you think this game deserves zero stars?

Simply put, because good sibling banter doesn't make a whole game.
I genuinely feel that every update that came out took something away from the game, obviously starting with the rape update. What was the fucking point of that? The dev did fuck all with it. Had he, I would have given him some props for handling the situation but once it happened it seems he wanted to distance himself for it as far as possible. It was barely talked about, and not even mentioned in the endings. He either didn't trust himself in adding it in the first place or the outcry was so bad from fans that he felt he had to bury it. Either way, it ruined this game and it only got worse from there.
You brought up realism, but that's a double edged sword. Sadly, it leads to the question of "does Haley only like MC because she was raped?" Did Klaus break her mind so that her own brother started to be a valid sexual interest? You get into some really sick, twisted shit when you introduce realism into plots and characters. I understand you might not have thought about all of this, and that's fine, but I sure have and it heavily weighs on my opinions of this game. The dev not curbing any of these thoughts either points to him being ill-prepared to handle something as serious as rape, or just plain too lazy to put the work into it for it to have been a valid plot addition. Let's talk about other stuff now.
I'm not a fan of Sandra, and we're forced into a relationship with her with no player input. Sure, we can dump her later, but that's not a point I can give the game when it forced me into it in the first place. I'm not a huge Lisa fan, she's fun but she's not my type at all, and she gets her own ending over Diane who had similar "screen time" where I personally heavily preferred Diane. Much like the rape, everything seemed to move backwards, like the dev thought he made a poor choice and had to fix it by ignoring the existence of it in the first place. Alana is another character that gets completely sidelined to the point where her existence is pointless. Why introduce all these characters, have a couple sex scenes, and then dump them all back into the ether?
Here's my review as well:

If none of this stuff bothered you that's fine, but it really bothered the shit out of me. As I noted in my review, would you rather eat a bad meal, or would you rather get about half way through a good one when you find an insect in it? That's why I think this is a zero star game, it used to be good then the dev ruined it with stupid decision after stupid decision.
