No, it's never had the abandoned tag. I'm one of the guys who was helping test it during development and before it went to Steam. And yes, it's been completed for nearly 5 years now.

You really must be confusing it with a different game. There's no way this could ever have had the abandoned tag (unless by mistake, but certainly not after completion) since during creation there were no hiccups in update frequency, once a month, so unlike other games skidding the line this was always in a safe place. (Mixed metaphors for the win!)
Please help me, Claire's instructions have disappeared, I read the walkthrough and see "Send
another (fake) email" but that one has also disappeared

Can you attach your save, please? I'll fix that for you.

Out of curiosity, if you look at Claire's stats, are they showing 80 love and 85 arousal?

Damn well congrats
I must be. i swear there was a highly popular game on here with a somewhat similar premise that got abandoned. In my head it was this one
EDIT: i figured it out. its Big Brother https://f95zone.to/threads/big-brother-v0-13-0-007-dark-silver.1519/
in fact the more i look at this page the more i realized i have probably played this to completion. (the phone uses the whatsapp text tone rigbht? or it did? sorry im at the point where ive played too many games from here now XD)

Well, let me see... Did you say the same premise? So basically the MC is a young guy of 18, living with his mother and his two sisters. Lil' sis is a sweetheart and big sis is a bitch. Hu-ho, this one isn't in high school anymore? Shit! Will he try to corrupt his entire family and all the girls around while exploring the city? Duh, what else would he do? play Majong online maybe? I don't know how many there are on F95 and even other platforms, but it's probably one of the most common premises in the Western AVN world. hundreds only on F95?
Well, to your credit, you were aiming pretty close to the target with BB, at least regarding the premise of the game, except that here, no hornet in the hive to NTRing all the girls into your harem.
Oops! sorry sis, I thought it was Eric the hornet

I knew there are many who don't bother to read the instructions on the OP, but this... I wonder how they figured out how to turn on a PC or whatever they are playing on

From what I understand (having dealt with that a lot), is that I guess in some or all Ren'Py-based games, it's possible to play it in the archive. I wouldn't bother, because if there's an incorrect character talking that shouldn't be, dialog with a typo, missing/incorrect punctuation, or grammatical error, I'd like to have access to the scripts in order to fix it. That would drive me nuts. So they think Unity-based games works in the same way (though I would imagine not, at least, as far as Faerin's games goes).No way...

I actually only learned over here that you can open programs in an archive - for me it always was something to unpack first. (Though the fact that at least for zip files you can browse the contents should have given me a clue, but there's a difference between opening a singular file and running a program needing to access subdirectories and such). Probably due to the fact that I am an old geezer and back in the day (when we had to walk to school barefoot uphill through snowstorms) archives were not so much a tool for combining tons of files but mostly for compressing files so they could fit on a floppy disc ...

Well not only that, but when it's downloaded from OP, there's installation instructions (which, as you mentioned is just extraction, since there's no actual install taking place) saying "Extract and run". But, of course they'd have to read that first, and not a lot of people bother to do that because... something, something, reasons.

Yeah. What did they say already? The force is with you my ass, ouch ouch my knees
Don't forget to take your arthritis drops
Well, same here. I won't divulge my age, as Yoda I have some gaps in my memories, you know? But I started using a PC very late and back in the day, you could use it with Ms-Dos then Windows 3.0, then 3.1 and so on. But yeah, I didn't know that you could run a program in an archive. Even now I just tried with Winrar, and clicking on the exe will unzip the file automatically. So my question is: What are you using to run it without unzipping the file?Well not only that, but when it's downloaded from OP, there's installation instructions (which, as you mentioned is just extraction, since there's no actual install taking place) saying "Extract and run".

Well, when using one hand for the device named "mouse" and the other on... Heh! guess on what by yourselfbecause... something, something, reasons.

I got my feet whet when I first started tinkering with an Apple //c back in the early 90s, moved up to PC after Apple stopped making any new later series. Even ran an Apple BBS. Didn't have much but a couple of doors. Later moved on IBM 286. Ran WWIV on that one for a bit. Played around in MS-DOS 6.22 (which, funny enough, I still use to this day, playing in the CLI... for things like FTP - I refuse to use a GUI, lol).Yeah. What did they say already?

And to answer your question, I'm not sure. Because it won't run for me even via 7-Zip. I have older versions of WinRAR and WinZip - which throw errors trying to extract the file or run it from the RAR.

It depends a bit on how the OS handles it or the software that's used to open the archive.
Since the native integration of zip into Windows it can handle zip quite well, as if the file was a directory. They even called it a compressed directory even if it was nothing else than a zip file.
I suggested someone to run a game from a uncompressed zip file that had many thousand single files and took four times as much space on HD than the sum of file sizes.
Now with 7z and RAR integrated, Windows 11 should behave similar.

In defense of Faerin - while the origin story is tropy as hell (I didn't know that at the time of playing), it's in the execution where it differs from other games. Usually these games will have you glued to the family members instead of going out and discovering locations - and I felt the locations were just as much a part of the charm. While the landlord and tenant are somewhat standard, other characters are definitely not. Pam and officer Daisy are definitely outliers that shape the bigger story, while your household three are out doing yoga on the roof...

I also tried with several games (Ren'Py and Unity) to open the archive with Windows file explorer, then choose "run", but the files do not seem to launch. Maybe it would work if I unzip the archive and then archive it again with 0 compression? But I guess this will definitely cause errors during execution.
Ok ok, Don't bite me, kay?
But let's not go into the specific details of the games which are specific to them. I was just talking about the premise, and generally what you can read in "overview". Mal protag 18 years old, living with mommy and so on. You also have the premise with always the same 18 year old guy, but with the variation that he lived with his father. The father being deceased - for a practical reason of the game - comes back to live with his mother. We could almost speak of an arc-premise. Fortunately, games - but certainly not all - have their own development and some Devs don't just do a sort of copy/paste from start to finish. We must also take into account that Faerin was a precursor in the AVN world with "MotH", at the time of the creation of the game, so I consider that his model and his mechanism have been largely plagiarized by other Devs.
I agree. Exploring around the map and in different locations is definitely a plus in a game like this. Fortunately, nowadays we find exploration and free roaming more often. Luckily, we've moved beyond playing games behind closed doors to get a little more puss... Um... I mean adventure
. Character development is very important too. Not just with a different physique, but their personality, their occupations, their past. But I'm going to stop there before forming a wall
