11.69 GB file size. Multiple hours of play time at least, even if you go fast.
If a game compressor can only bring it down to 3.92 GB it should mean something.
The game is up since 2018, had 17 updates (not counting bug fix) each of them goes through an alpha->beta->pre-realse->release->bux-fix stage (not all stage needs to be happen, some could be skipped). And each of the recent update alone is around 1 GB or more in size.
I mean, you could go to the changelog in the first post and see how much there is.
thank you guys for the fast and informative responses
im def gonna try this game after im done with the others games. cant wait, you guys made me excited !

Game compression could bring it to smaller size, if game upscaled images instead of requiring minimum of 1920x1080

You can use higher compression ratio for images used in this game. My compressed 17.2 is around 2.8 GB

And?! I've seen some project were the difference was much, much more, cause the image used were PNG (which we both know, could be compress quite a bit, if you want and don't care about that little quality lose that you most likely won't even see). The ratio is around 4:11 or, if we use your numbers, 3:11. Where other games achieve a much higher compression ration from the same compressor.
Thus, the 11 GB of this game leads to either a much higher image size or have a much larger number of images, what often also means, the game itself is much bigger.

It is a comparsion. If the size of the game would be much lower, eg. 1 GB or less, then you have "bloated" image, that are useless if you are not the Louvre (or any other museum).:WeSmart:
Also, as I've written in the past, this game could also be compressed to less than a few MB (plus the whole Ren'Py base setup, who is already ~130 MB). Just remove the image and sound and leave the text to be there.

Is there any reason why the upload isn't simply broken up into multiple zip files? I mean, it's a zip already and breaking it into 3-4 smaller files instead of one large one would solve everyone's problems wouldn't it?

Well, is part 1, 2 and 3 under the spoiler tag not broken up enough for you?:whistle::devilish::geek:

Since this says it is Linux compatible, has anyone tried running this on a SteamDeck? Thank you for any information.
Steam Deck is just a Linux computer running an arch derivative distro. I'm running Manjaro (also arch derivative) and it works perfectly here, in fact, I've never seen a renpy game that does not work on Linux.

You need to execute the `.sh` file instead of the `.exe` file to start the game, but that is the only difference.

Taking a poll from twitter and posting here:

Who is your favorite duo?

  • Lin + Android

  • Ashley + Maria

  • Felicity + Emma

  • Autumn + Kali
was searching if felicity + emma last scene was repeatable (is it?) and saw this.

for me
Felicity + Emma
Lin + Android
Ashley + Maria
Autumn + Kali

Perhaps a "mod" where Android grows her tongue significantly?
Android already has tongue “tricks/mod” abilities as demonstrated when she flips the tables on Maria and Dommes her.

In my earlier response to runey’s request for suggestions … I stated something that explicitly included Android using her [enhanced] tongue. In addition to other details to create a memorable scene.

So I’m right there with ya pal (y)

And occasionally fix the permission on the .sh and the executable it's executing. A lot of devs forget to chmod a+x the files. (Running a debian derivative here).

Either your computer has no audio device, or the one that you have is incompatible... a rare occurrence either way.

Have you ever played Harem Hotel before on this PC, or any other RenPy games? Try updating your sound drivers for a start.
