No. Maybe you can find them in the older versions, there might still be working links for some compressed versions, if you search the thread. Some videos were removed due to music licensing issues, Ocean was unable to extend temporary lease-type licenses.

I think the real last "old" version before any type of rework began was chapter 2. Some stuff began to be changed, rewrite and rework from chapter 3 forward. I have link for the chapter 2 beta here.

It depends on what you mean by “original darker version”... if it's the one with extreme corruption and a psicopath MC, it never actually existed, it never even got to the point of starting down the darker paths... If you're referring to the older versions, you should watch chapter one alone. With the release of chapter 2, there were many changes, and I think the last version that was in continuity was chapter 4 (that is, what changed in chapter 2 remained unchanged throughout chapters 3 and 3.5). After that, you would get the reworked version.

What I liked most about the original version was that both MC and Bella reacted to each other more naturally than they do now. After the game remake, they both started acting like retarded kids who escaped from a juvenile psychiatric hospital instead of the natural behavior of college students. It's true that they both went through some trauma, but that doesn't give them the right to react like animals who escaped from a zoo.

Mila is absolutely nothing like that, one of the best looking LI's in any visual novel.

I prefer the old version. I'm not disrespecting your preference, just to be clear.

What put me of in the newer version is the eyebrows and the boobs are smaller.

100%! I mean this has been discussed at lenght 1000 times over but the earlier versions, despite being rougher around the edges in some parts, actually featured much more genuine interactions between characters. There was also a LOT more emotional depth than anything that came after the reworks.
And the perfect example of this is the fight between the MC and Bella in her room when he comes over and starts talking about her sister. The previous version felt more natural and raw. There was more emotional weight to it. The newer version feels like it was aimed towards those with cognitive disabilities or at least socially inept or unable to decipher behavioral cues. It feels more heavy handed and forced. More unnatural.

as someone that came after the reworks I can see how that comes off slightly odd but it still worked. And I think the writing is still extremely effective for feeling real. Just an opinion from someone that came in only seeing new one.
