Is there anyway to access to the original darker version of this game and not the steam version. I got the mod that meant to have restored the cut content but there still seem there some video's missing.
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.

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.

Why does that fucker torture us and give us blue balls in both of his games?
Finding a single sex scene in his games is like finding diamonds.

Absolutely! I think only people who played the content before ch4 would feel bothered by it at all. In my opinion, ch3 and 3.5 were the best version of SG and things went severely downhill from there. Not that the current version is bad per se, I simply feel like the previous direction was leaps and bounds superior to the new one. New players wouldn't really have nothing to compare this version to. And let's be honest, on visuals alone this game is a top 10% on this site with ease. That's Ocean's strength.

for fucks sake, just read the forum rules once, many things will become clearer
  • Abandoned: used in the following cases:
    • The developer states that the development has been permanently suspended.
    • After 3 months of inactivity from the developer's public creator/crowdfunding accounts (Patreon, SS, etc), we will resolve special circumstances or scenarios on a case-by-case basis (no creator accounts, creators developing for free, Patreon accounts under review/ban).
    • No game update has been released for an abnormally long period of time (>18 months).
    • Game threads that are marked On-hold for over 6 months with no game update.
    • Note: this prefix is only removed upon the release of a new update for purchase/download.
Okay :geek: calm down . I don't spend all day here . I rarely come here and when I do come here , I don't stay for more than 2 minutes .
