please include / compile linux files
I always include Windows, Linux and Mac versions whenever I update my games.
You can get them if they're missing as this update is now public

sorry, i had no time to compile linux and mac versions (the source was win only), so i didnt include it (hence "win" indicators there)
if you have older linux version of this game, use libs from there, or try to compile it by yourself as suggested.
or you can also download/play official linux version, from the dev site...

I like the game...........BUT.............. Some paths and how you get on them i wouldnt say doesnt make sense which they dont to some degree but theres no way of knowing how or why. Example: So your after the daughter all game and do everything in favor of her and turn EVERYONE else down BUT your not on the daughter path and why, no corruption. How and why am i suppose to know that.

This game is more mystery of how you get certain paths and why. I dont like WT but i used this one and honestly its not very straight forward. There needs to be reasons, u turn everyone else down except the Daughter and your still not on her path, how are you as a first time player suppose to know about the corruption. This is where you lose me at as it doesnt make sense.

There is no NTR in this game.
There will be no NTR in this game.


Defending Lydia Collier is my primary game and has 6 updates left, I will give Patrons a vote in the middle of them whether they want a month's delay and a SoM update or for me to just continue on with DLC. So the next one will either be in three or six DLC updates time.
Thanks for the response and information. I gave your patreon page a follow to see what you decide. I don't mind supporting you during the last few updates, so until then I'll just wait.

I've now planned 4 main paths for the MC and Jane and one of the paths really requires them not being married. It would definitely mean a reason to keep them together, but it also gives a lot more power to Jane which I don't want.

If you were married, I think there is a lot Jane could do to get the MC arrested/fired depending what he did and stop a divorce.
For example, if she hated you and you went off with Penelope, if she called the Police and lied and said the MC had been sexually involved with Penelope from when she was very young and she'd been groomed and the MC had threatened to kill her if she told, it would destroy the MC's reputation and likely cost him his job even if not proven or he was acquitted. Same with his drug money, dating Mercedes when there is to a very small degree a teacher/student dynamic etc.

I didn't want to open up all of these as they'd be in court for the divorce where some of these things like money would certainly be brought up, whereas she'd have to directly go and involve previously uninvolved authorities with the end of an engagement which means I can see it being more realistic leaving a 'Wife Blackmailing MC' path out, especially as it is a path I don't really have an interest in making.

It is quite important for one of the wife's paths for them to be unmarried too

I’m new here. I found your game and I love it. First of all I mean no disrespect to you. But I don’t exactly agree with your reason for not breaking off the engagement and being with Penelope. I mean, yes that is one way it could turn out. But look, Penelope is 18. So no matter what the wife says...if Penelope says “no it didn’t happen, I was 18 when we started” the police and court system would side with Penelope and not the mother. And then you can live with Penelope and fuck her daily.

Bit disappointed by how the game turned out, seems like it's mostly about the Jane-MC relationship now whereas Penelope is the only reason I play it.

There are several moments that made me uncomfortable, the early game over scenes were creepy, being called out as a creep by one of the girls at the party was frustrating since it's the only way to progress with Penelope, and most of all the render of Penelope as a kid was such a major break of immersion for me.
Rather than write the plot in a way that makes the interaction with the models I care about somewhat believable, it seems to be written to make me feel guilty ?
I don't want to be reminded of the father figure role the MC has with Penelope or being called a grooming pedophile when all I want is a porn plot with beautiful models.

Oh well, good luck to the dev, seems like we're not on the same mindset at all.

I wish this VN would pick up again and the developer focus on this instead of DLC. I find that one incredibly boring. :confused:

I'm kinda upset that I can't have a relationship with Penelope and Mercedes. I got a high opinion with Penelope and got the BJ but I also got Mercedes pregnant at the beach so it seems like that overrides everything and I didn't get the sex scene with Penelope. I have a good relationship with all the characters even the wife, but I feel like the game is designed in a way that we can choose which characters we like and which ones we don't but in reality it is very linear. And what happened to the wife's sister, why did she just disappear. The dick pick scene made it seem like it was time to pick a girl but I picked Penelope and still nothing. I think a threesome with Penelope and Mercedes is my preferred end goal. Liked the game but not the latest update.

Are the group sex and lesbian parts avoidable?
Yes, you can avoid all of them from the MC's perspective based on the choices you make.

However, you will need to also choose to skip scenes which do not involve the player at the beginning as well or you'll see lesbian scenes involving one of the antagonists.
