I'm curious for those who says the pace is too slow. What are 'good' examples of a well paced game?
I don't want to bring up other games, so I'll explain my own preference. I like a mix of "sluttier" love interests who sleep with the MC relatively quickly to keep the initial chapters more interesting along with more innocent love interests who have a slower progression spanning several chapters, from first date kiss, to oral, and finally to penetration before (depending on the story) heading into group scenes in the later chapters.

If you visit the Game section and sort by rating, the top 4 are games I've played and each has a near perfect balance of story and adult content as well as progression. Though unrelated to your question, I also prefer the adult content to come from the story rather than be the driving force of the story. The story should be something other than "how many girls can I bang?".

Are we gonna get more scenes with Mariana? I like Ashley's path more than Emily's. The one thing I do like about Halfway House is that the developer updates the next chapter and not changing past chapters.

Did you get what you paid for?
While I agree with the sentiment of your post, I don't think it's a fair rebuke. Do you really think it's all about a fair deal and the low money support is the reason this short update took so long? And those who supported the developer for a year and a half did not pay enough because they receive the same short update? My guess is that those who still support him do it not because he offers the best price per render per month. Let's face it, it's the dev's abilities and capabilities, he is doing the best he can, and this update is what he can. Do I consider the developer to be lazy - no. Do I think the developer has broken any of their promises - no, so there's no reason for anyone to feel cheated, especially this here. Do I think the game or the latest update is bad, or that it got worse, no. Do I think that development is slow and the update is very short for such a long period of time - damn it, just compare with other games here with similar quality of renders and animations, that are being actively developed.

This used to be one of my favorite VN but I'm kinda starting to get confused about it's drection. I don't mind the long read and lack of porn, my problem lies with the story itself, like it's throwing random pieces of the universe without explaining any: Hollis being allegedly drugged, Ash granpa seemingly being

AND you still have MC's story of being reintroduced into society. Kinda started like a wholesome story but midway through dev decided "let's do a True Crime story instead".

Yah, maybe making the story too convoluted...

If I were to guess, those two "mafia/triad" related scenarios will possibly tie in together somehow and probably save the MC from some catastrophic issue he put him self in by being captain save-a-ho.. I do feel like this should all add up and make sense at some point because the developers direction for this game so far has kept me hooked to the story so that must mean something.. I'll admit I'm a bit confused as to where this is going at this point but watching the final scene with Emily.. totally worth it but her jumping into the fight I feel may have been pushing it just a bit too far lol

Been waiting for Ep. 10 for over a year. Really hoped it would be a bit.. longer? Played through both versions in under 2 hours without skipping anything.
Anyhow, the story continues to be great, although there's a lot of loose ends lining up. What I didn't like are the animations, to be honest. They are waaaaaay too fast and don't look really good. I know, those are hard to do. I'd rather have no animations than badly done ones, though. And if you keep them in, at least make them realistic which means like.. 25% of their current speed, at max.

Just a suggestion. I don't know how others felt about it. I love the story of the game, I was still happy that it got hotter this episode but those animations killed any excitement I had, especially with my bae Emily.

Played a long while back, just installed CH 10 and restarted the game. The images where we meet Emily and Ashley (where it pans head to toe) for some reason don't line up. The bottom half of both is shifted to the left. Have re-downloaded and re-installed, the problem remains. Haven't gone farther yet, trying to determine if the game is faulty or something strange on my end.

start game and shift g
under renderer options try 2nd or 3rd option
then exit game and restart
I find 3rd option of Force ANGLE2 renderer works for me everytime
