I think Sparkling Duplicity also uses the same animation system. It's quality is on-par, some of the best I've seen. Not far through development, but what's there is good.
I played Sparkling Duplicity, and went through the dev's other games, the only thing going for these games are the engine. The Manor by far shows how to use an engine to tell a beautiful story!

I've played until chapter 5 end, and I feel pretty satisfied with the game and story. At first, I wasn't expecting a good story, but it was definitely interesting how it unfolds, and I'm truly invested so far. I like each character and their personality, gameplay is also simple, but after chapter 5 I have a pretty big complain about it because at this point mostly everyone in the house knows you fuck everyone so I wish the dev would add actual sex interaction throughout the day with any characters instead of just at night because there's just no reason to grind the same convo for affection point anymore, hope they added new options for it.

when is the new update planned to be released?
It's been a long time since I've been here, I'm going to change that bad habit :).

The next chapter is in development, I'd say about 30% done, and it will be as dense (or more) as chapter 5, so still a lot of work to do!

I've already thought about that possibility, but it would mean a ton of extra animation work. I'm going to focus on the story first and finish the game, and maybe later, when I've finished what I want to offer, I'll add more stuff.

When can we expect the update?
The next chapter is a third of the way through development and I don't have as much time as I'd like to develop it faster, my main job is eating up all my time and I also have to think about my mental balance...o_O

I don't have a precise date yet, but before the end of the year seems an acceptable release window.

I'm also working on optimizing the game. Here's the screen that will replace the current log starting in Chapter 6.
