I used the update from 0.14 -> 0.15. Plenty of exceptions regarding music (which I dont play) and images. It is very annoying.

Damm it sometimes i both hate and love this game lol, now we get punished for being on Iris true route again at least thats how it feels, after all the trouble it was too get that route all those sex scenes you have too skip, the route definately seems like a neverending uphill battle, i really hope we will get a good ending for all that trouble.

Walkthrough mod

Game version
: 0.14 DO NOT USE IT ON A DIFFERENT VERSION, IT WILL NOT WORK

Installation: extract the archive inside the games root folder, overwrite if prompted

LAST UPDATED ON: 21/11/13 Updated so it's compatible to game version 0.14 and added the mod generation files for the people interested

For any issue with the mod send me a message

P.S. For the people interested in how I make the mod i attached the files I use to do it. If you don't have any coding experience it might not be worth looking at it.
If someone wants to expand the mod or take over the maintenance is more then welcome, I don't have too much time atm and for the foreseeable future.
When This Update to 0.15?

Yeah, that's one of the reasons i droped her route a few updates ago, i'll let it mature before going back. Vanessa (love route) is the best route for now imho.

Yeh i have considered trying That route also or maybe even Melinda but i do have a soft spot for Iris, what makes the route even more difficult for me is that i play a dom no bimbo points and no gay points, i almost have nightmares of playing the minefield the slums was, i had too restart the game too get her out playing like that, the only way i found that i could accept was with the help of Troy not optimal but i will take it for now.

I gotta say, the game has finally lost me. There are too many (boring) characters with whom you spend too little quality time. It's like the dev is only checking off a list so every character can speak their two lines and vanish. I can't even remember who they all are. On top of it, there doesn't seem to be an overarching story or side quests that tie it all together.

I thought about that at some point, but decided against it. It takes me about two hours to just put music in the latest update, and that's just about a hundred lines. With sound effects I'll have to plant them throughout the entire script, and that's probably several days of doing nothing but that. And it has to be a fairly big library of sounds or else it would get repetitive. Perhaps after the game is done, I'll do that.

In real life Blake would have quite a lot of trouble in the slums looking like that, so the minefield comparison is both accurate, and reflects how it would actually feel for Blake. But yes, I'm planning a pretty special ending for those who managed to stay with Iris, and not let her get away.
The routes in this game are just obtuse. Suya literally offers to fuck MC 10 times but he just goes "haha not today", meanwhile I'm shouting at the screen "BUT I WANT TO, SHITHEAD"
Think about this way: Suya is a bit of a sex-crazed weirdo, and Blake has to live with her. He doesn't know how serious she is, and doesn't know where this could lead them. Plus, Suya's progression was mostly decided by polls, and I posted her route poll pretty late in the game. I wanted to make it feel like just getting to date her is a pretty big achievement. Plus, all you really have to do to get on with her is to avoid the other routes.

What do you mean by avoid other routes? also how many Samuel scenes are there?

You installed the patch on the compressed version, which doesn't have music. I clearly stated that the patch is ONLY for the full version.

The proposal regarding smaller SSD (to save some money) + bigger HDD like the Toshiba (to have enough space) + PrimoCache is especially for people that do not have the ability to spend a lot of money on a big SSD. Because the most important Data are cached on the SSD you have best of both worlds (speed and a lot of space for a decent price). I have setup PrimoCache for Gamers and for people that work on their PCs (sometimes with more than one SSD for different cache levels, which makes it even faster) . A good YouTube video about it can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=-0Kao4TBfhQ
PS: Happy to hear that you were able to get most of the Data back!

That file size, though...was there any compression done at all, or is the VN just that big/long?
