Since this is more like a new game shouldn't the reviews be removed or tagged as previous game for all those? I would agree that the previous game is 4½ stars about, so far this game is 2-3 stars, my opinion of course but the reviews aren't fair as it is right now.

I didn't liked any of the personalities before the remake,
Mainly the MC
...
And well, fuck the rest too... fuck the nympho girlfriend, the "obsessed" sister, the sicko sister (both of them are, in her own ways), her girlfriend, the cheating dad, the girlfriend's "friend", the "mafia" and some other that don't remember but still hate.
With some exception to some bland characters like the mom and the lawyer friend, fuck the rest,
They are so unlikable that just makes me skip the dialogue just to see the renders (by far the strongest point of the VN)
To be fair, maybe they are supposed to be like that, but that doesn't mean i'm supposed to like them.
Maybe is too soon to say this but in 2 years if this doesn't get another reboot or get abandoned i will check it and certainly still hate the characters .
BTW... i know it's a porn game and all but what's wrong with those characters that can't you stop putting sex on every sentence?
for real, nobody speaks normally here? WTF, not even the sluttiest girls i know do that (some of them are literally prostitutes!).

Fucking ridiculous. Who wants to bet two years from now Oceanlab will be displeased with his earlier work and rework it again? Never ending cash cow.

Reboots for significant reasons, early on, I'm willing to consider. Reboot when you're already deep into the game.....not so sure.
Miru has become an American teenager
the MC has become a steroid body builder club slime
The whole few minutes I could make myself play looks like it takes its inspiration from Vampire chic.
hard "nope"
He already kind of fucked over the start of Summer's Gone once, now this. I hope he doesn't decide to "re-fuck" that title too
one less title to check on I guess. Sad.

not needed reboot, would rather see completion then consider a part 2

This new version looks beautiful, but did it really need a remake? I thought the original was fine.
Making multiple games at once and restarting one them is... a bad look, especially when releases are so far apart. Will any of them ever be completed? If so, when? Five years from now?

Nice rework btw. The art literally got upgraded by two fold. Its really looking realistic. The animation is also smooth and not laggy at all. Nice work Ocean. Its just that, its weird without the intended I-patch. The dialogue between MC and Leia make you think they are family, yet now its written as friend. Especially when she say "You are her favorite", its giving a weird vibe tho. I mean i know Incest is kinda banned at Patreon but, maybe Ocean or perhaps someone kind enough can make the new I-patch so that the game become much more realistic than what now.
Anyway this just what i thought about the this. Sorry if my words kinda messy cause english is not my main language and I'm still learning it. Thx. Hope you got easy and having fun for your work. Stay safe. Bye.

Remaking the same story when it hasn't been finished in the first place? What a waste of time and talent.

Oceans' always been good at renders but this ... is next level indeed. But it makes me wonder how long it takes just to make a scene and just how long it will take to finish the game (and Summer's Gone obviously). I guess I should think of it as an artwork mixed with demonstration of just how far we've come in rendering lifelike characters and scenes with just a home PC. That way maybe it doesn't matter as much if it never gets finished. Oh well, it's impressive for sure. Art for art's sake maybe.
With the availability of a mac release I've had a chance to play the reboot.
Ocean - What a masterpiece!
Knowing that the original might go away, I downloaded it and played the initial portions again, so despite my aging memory it's fresh in my mind.
This is NOT the same game with better visuals. The writing is vastly improved. Yes they still end up at Helen's and Duane's but the interaction is completely different and far more engaging. Dialog is undoubtedly the most difficult part of writing, and the dialog in this rework is so much better that it simply can't be compared. The relationships it conveys are deeper and more reflective. The feel and flow of this work bears little relationship to the original.
All the visual aspects are incredible. But I've always been a "story guy". No matter how good the visuals, ff the story isn't there I have a hard time getting excited. As amazing as the visuals are, the story more than stands up. Ocean, you've not just dramatically improved your various technical skills, IMHO your writing has improved as much if not more.
SG is a top notch game, but I always like WIAB more. You've elevated one of my favorites to an entirely new plain.

Looking at the script, the content just isn't in there, so a simple all-versions-file which just sets a switch won't do. Oceanlab will have to release the script files for each release separately, if he does at all.
Also, Oceanlab Servus ausm Ösiland. Im Archiv sind noch deutsche Ordner. "Verschiedenes" mit einer 0 bytes LewdR.rpy und "Benutzerdefiniert". Könnte man vielleicht noch "ein-englischen"

"Where It All Began" is what i'm gonna be telling my fucking grandkids by 2045 when this game is at v0.4.
