I will try to balance points by next update, to make it more easy to get them.

True if his passion is making games. False if his passion is getting supporters. There are lots of tags/kinks I'm not into, but only three of them are deal-breakers. The rest, I deal with if the game is good. I think a lot of folks here are the same way, though their three might vary.

There is very strong foreshadowing that Olivia is the daughter
Even so, the nameless main girl (we've really got to give her a fan name. I named her Kate) is still in the running because the old guy did say she reminded him of Liz. So while one is more likely than the other it remains anyone's ball game.

Maybe, but then the Secretary isn't. Olivia and the Secretary look nothing alike. But there is quite a strong resemblance between Elizabeth and the Secretary.
Maybe they are both the MC's daughters with different mothers?
My thoughts on the update: Story wise very nice, but I am less enthousiastic about the implementation of the points system. A lot of paths were suddenly closed because I was too much of a gentleman...
At the end of the update, Chloe was talking about a mystery date in the dark. This was news to me as my choices never triggered the livestream or video call. So that was weird. Played a few more times, and managed the video call, but not livestream. I see there's solutions posted for that but didn't really care for the choices (didn't make sense to me).
I'm glad you're re-thinking the point system. In simplest terms, choosing between vanilla or chocolate ice cream with Character 1 shouldn't determine whether or not Character 2, 3, or 4 are going to decide this or that. I agree that different characters can influence others, and the MC's state of mind, but I'm really not interested in using unren to read the script after the fact, to figure out why some options are related, that make little to no sense, in my opinion.
I'd like to see more autonomy between characters and freedom of choice, but hell, I'm honestly going to play it no matter what, even if only out of curiosity.
So far its pretty good, and interesting.

People tend to be mean if they don't get things going their way. There's the video game dilemma, even in a AVN. How much friction to put to get people engaged but not to push them away.
I'm far from a connoisseur or even a dev in any capacity, but since you are active here let me give my two cents, unrequested. I'm only a 'costumer', lets say, but somewhat exigent one. I'm don't play for a quick fap and done. I want to feel invested. I'm not a writer, but I DM D&D games and spend way too much time on the storytelling part of the game.
That being said, I'm loving what I've seen so far. Specially your art style, composition and the renders. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's your first project, writing, coding and rendering alone, am I right? I think you are doing an amazing job, giving our position and only being able to do it as a side thing, 3 hours/day at your free time. I feel there's a lot of potential here and hope you get your patreon goingso you can afford a new dedicated rig to give us even great renders. I mean, the best MILF I've seen here.
About the story, I feel like it's a simple one without any big plot and twists. And there's a good thing. If you don't really have that much time daily, getting huge and complex plot might be hard and in the end unfufilling if not done right. I personally like to see development between relationship in a AVN, more so than something weird and big. I don't know if you ever played, but the games from Tlaero and Tora were super railroled and straightfoward. They had some big plot with powers and a shared universe, but overwall what was being developed was the relationship between the MC and LC. Well, I think some of them have almost 10 years so they might fell dated and you'd be right, but those relationships made those games for me. And because of that I remember the games and their names. "I came for the fap and stayed for the plot"
About your story and addressing some of the stuff that has being said, it feels like the assistant is the daughter. It feels like you are setting up for her to fit the shoe. I'm not even found of incest usually, but hey I love Desert Stalker so who am I to judge. I do, however, fear two things. A bait is fine and common, but care to not be too overboarding and frustrate people. If you really want to create a mystery go deeper with it, not only with her. Second, as I read your justification as to how is not even that clear that she is, I fear you might consider changing your plans to make her not be the daugther, if that was your original idea, just to prove one or two buzzing mosquitos in you ear. Not saying that you would do that. What I'm saying is that I've seen way to many people going that route, and as I read that comment, it gave me that feeling. Stick to your guts.
As a final comment, about the Olivia and locked interactions. What I feel it is way too early to have way too severe of consequences of your choices. It feels bad. And I'm not talking about Olivia only. Same with other parts. To have the 'Be rude' to Bob locked behind just on the choice of comment about his wife, on the second interaction with him, is way to rash and way too soon. A scenario that I wasn't a creep talking about his wife, but stressed out and being rude about a sensible matter is reasonable thing to happen. So it feels unfulfilling to have that locked at that point in time. Oliva lewd scene is more reasonable in my opinion, but I think also is way too soon to have it locked behind that much 'score'. (If I understand correctly, there's a score on overall lust of your MC). Because of that, I feel like at this point of the game, that whole interaction better suited to not be the reward to a high lust score, but one to increase it (along side some corruption points if you are going that path). Again, I think it's all about timing here, and setting up the character the players wants. To have that almost set up in the first interactions feels bad. Even if you plan a short game and need things to get going quickly, it still feels too soon, even in a % point of view it isn't. See "Being a DIK". A thing they did amazing in my opinion, in a score based game, is the CHICK-DIK 'ruler'. A single choice doesn't put in an extreme or another. But a series of choices that sowly push you to an end. Most of the time you can chose a dik move or a chick move, and sometimes something big related to the plot is locked behind your affinity, because that made sense in the narrative. Again, with Olivia feels way too soon to have it locked. Because it feels like we are still developing who MC is. And who he's gonna be going foward.
That's that. Sorry about the wall of text. English is not my first language so I get anxyous sometimes to write something besides the usual memes. But something drove me to write it. Hope to reach you in a good way. I only mean weel. I feel there's huge potential here and it's looking good so far. Go nuts nad have fun!
Another thing. Can I ask a personal request? I don't know the reason behind making us choose the name of the assistant. MC is common, but no choice besides to give her a name yourself was awkward to me. I personally don't like naming characters so the best middle ground in my opinion is to have a given name, and the option to change it (to change even that that exact moment in the dialog. Something like "Her given name is xxxx. You can change it if you want."

I want to reassure you and all players that the plot of the game is already set and won't be changed based on requests to add or remove certain elements. I've received suggestions to alter the storyline, but I believe in the integrity of the original plot and intend to stick to it. That said, I do listen to advice and feedback specifically about the game mechanics. These can be adjusted to create a more enjoyable experience for the players.
As for the character name issue, I hear your concern. In the next update, I will include a default name
Thank you, that last one was the only difficult question I had, which name should I choose for my assistant/daughter...Thank you so much for your comprehensive and thoughtful comment.

Made a compressed Android port of Reclaiming the Lost v0.4.
Got some basic gestures loaded in: swipe up for save menu, swipe down to hide UI, swipe left to rollback and swipe right to skip.
Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the port and I'll see what I can do to get them sorted.

I can't even with the fact that none of you compared the plot (loosely) to that of the movie Oldboy.
I haven't played the game, so don't spoil anything please!
OK, so I have a MAJOR concern with this game. It's too much like real life, I mean girls that actually lock the bathroom door, where do you find people like this? Also girls that get in a scary situation and don't jump in your arms and accidently feel your massive cock poking them?

me too, the oldboy movie also pops into my head whenever the plot involves a father searching for his daughter

I just finished the game, and one thing stuck out to me -
I understand humans are irrational, and that not every decision is purely logical - but it seems out of place to have that as the reason. Especially with the hints about a conspiracy teased later on.

I agree that the writing on that scene could be punched up a little. Like if Liz had something local that kept her from being able to easily relocate like she was taking care of her sick mother or something. It would make the impasse that she and MC were at make a little more sense. It would also make her decision to not take on parental responsibility make more sense if she was already a caregiver and had no one who could help her (since her father also seems to have problems).
