Sad to see it go. It will be missed. Here are some thoughts on it.
Pros;
Great game story, both in length and content
Dev concurrently devised a walk through along side development, wasn't an afterthought. I think this was the only way the developer could follow the multiple layered triggers in the game.
Story progression keep the perceived grind to nearly unnoticeable until latter in game, exemplar feat in a game of this type.
Possible one of the best and earliest examples of what and how 3d could be implemented in game of this sort.
Cons;
The engine had flaws, double frames and content images overlaying on some event calls plagued it from the start.
inventory system overall really needed an overhaul (when, what and sometimes how to use an item was never as straight forward and logical), as the story was revealed to player.
The saving system, both auto (was hit or miss when you sleep) and manual (only saving at application exit, is almost draconian) implementation was terrible.
Blocky character design can be seen when camera was in free roam, until around of v0.37-v0.40
Jerky character movement when camera was in free roam, until around of v0.37-v0.40.
Some actions in the game could supersede the story and then break it when needed calls are made to that superseded event, currently can still occur as of v0.49
Dad event of showing up every so often would just fuck the flow you have going in game, sometimes breaking event trigger chances from occurring even after he has left, currently can still occur as of v0.50-Beta1
Other thoughts;
The growth potential would be out of this world if remade on a more modern updated 3D engine (cryengine, Open 3D Engine, unreal engine).
Inventory; I would have liked more player interaction between items and MC and NPC's like
using the screw driver to break the lock,
actively making the drinks for the NPC's,
Mowing the backyard of neighbor, just to name a few.
Modding community didn't seem to pick up on the popularity until latter versions.

Kinda sad, but finally. There has been nothing really new for ages.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a scene in prior versions that included Billy fucking Rachel? Is that no longer in-game?

Hopefully. What I've played of Seaside Mystery in its current build, it has huge potential over twist. So if focus can shift to that to give it regular updates then I'm all for it. The customization in SSM coupled with the devs tendency to add a done of variety in outfits and such will at the very least keep the NPCs spicy enough. Thankfully he's learned a lot from Twist since SSM doesn't fall into the same issues he had before i.e. can't give Janice her new hair in older scenes.

Billy fucks Rachel in the hospital, in Janice's bedroom in group sex with Jason, on the beach after the mom swap, at the pool party and in Billy's house in the bedroom
didn't seem to forget anything

There was suppose to be a scene between John & Julia, but I guess, that will never happen.

Thanks! I thought I was missing something browsing the guide. Have only made my way up to 0.41, will just be patient and take it all as it comes.
I'm always surprised when people say their laptops are overheating from playing this. I'm running this on a dingy laptop that's almost 10 years old now and I've never had heat issues with it. Loading issues yes, but not heat issues. Maybe they are using their integrated GPU instead of dedicated one. Although, I also run the game on lowest settings because I haven't noticed a difference between lowest and highest presets. Maybe there's something on high settings that makes stuff overheat but I wouldn't know. Then again, I also recently cleaned up my laptop and replaced the thermal paste and I've noticed a lot of people don't do that and then they wonder why their laptop's turned into a toaster.You running a game on the laptop and the graphics card heats up? who knew that could happen

1. Download the walkthrough, follow the walkthrough.
2. I would suggest you download the walkthrough and follow the walkthrough.
3. It not an on or off situation, within about 5-10 min of game play you will know.
That's inaccurate, it takes quite a while before it's confirmed.
To be fair most people would be put off taking apart a laptop to clean it, as it's a daunting job even for experienced individuals.
I've bought used laptops that have never been cleaned out and the vents have a layer of dust thicker than a carpet. It's not very nice dealing with the muck but at least I buy them for dirt cheap. I recently bought a 4th gen i7 laptop with a Nvidia GTX965m and 16gb of RAM for a 100, it's a good price but very very dirty.
I run this game on a 10 year old laptop with 3rd gen Intel i5 CPU and a Nvidia GT650m graphics card on ultra settings and it runs fine.
I should say that I cleaned out the laptop and did a fresh install of the thermal paste and windows 10 at the time, and the old driver I was using ran toasting hot when I played any game with the Nvidia GPU. But after updating the driver it just runs hot now and it's no longer in danger of melting the plastic laptop case around the vents.
So putting on new thermal paste is not going to help if the software is running the chip unchecked.
So moral of the story is you need to clean the computer and put new thermal paste and update drivers to keep you computer running in optimal conditions.

What is inaccurate about what I posted; 9 minutes in game I was feeling up my "mom" passed out on the kitchen table.
Should I have stated 10-15 or 15-30 minutes instead?
