Enormous sized images i guess. I always wondered what was the point of static imagines this big. Your average screen will still be 1920 x 1080. No real point to make it bigger.
Sorry, I meant where did h942611d see a download size of 18GB for WTHI? The download size from the official link on Patreon is only 3.55GB.

why the game size is small (3.14gb)here compare to public version(18gb) at patreon?
I could be wrong but I think the F95 version is just a patch :unsure: so you only get Ep21 where as on patreon you get Ep1 to 21... Not sure though.
As it has been pointed above - download 13+gb patreon original, 3+gb OP "webp" version and compressed version, and do the comparisons by yourself.
Where are the 13+gb and 18gb numbers coming from from? I just checked the "Windows & Linux Episode 1-21 Full download" link on Patreon and, according to MEGA, the file is 3.55GB. That's really close to the 3.53GB that MEGA shows for the full download in the OP of this thread.
As JackMiejov said, the download file here is the full version [3.55GB].

Looking at the Ep18 OP referenced, there's no 18 GB version. is 4.77 GB.

Ep18 is bigger than Ep21, but that's seems to be due to some image optimization being applied in the current version. They both use JPEGs, but the files are smaller in Ep21 vs Ep18.

OP's 18 GB size for Ep18 might be incorrectly referring to the whole Ep18 Patreon folder, which includes multiple formats of the game (Mac, PC, compressed, patch). Though the whole folder looks to be 15.43 GB, so there's still something off in their numbers if that's the case.

Hey sorry for asking, but is this game officially completed, on hold or abandoned? I played up to episode 20 and it seems I missed episode 21, which I am downloading now. Almost four months without an update makes me think that either progress got slowed down or it's completed or abandoned. Can someone confirm anything? 1200+ pages are a bit too much for me to read.

No, no and no.

Then you thought wrong.
Outside of when Cheeky was pretty badly ill, months between releases isn't unusual.

I can confirm it appears to be 100% still in development, and the devs frequent this thread relatively often when they can.

Do a better job keeping track of this thread, and you'll see those kinds of things for yourself... Or become a patron.

It should be out this month however, just going back a few pages would have gotten you that answer. Next time actually try to be informed.

well some mistakes were made and I am sorry for that and thanks to all of you to help me understand .
problem solved
Yup, 3.5ish gig is the full version. We used to be pushing over 5 gig. I know that can cause problems for some people with mega, and the time was just right, so Cheeky took the time to convert everything to a smaller yet equal quality format as Abhai said. Although, last I checked, the version hosted here is missing the post release bug fix for Ep21.

So, This is my first playthrough. As this isn't harem and I'm sleeping with everyone in the game up mid CH 17. (except Monica, Theresa, and Elaine (and dropping Zara as soon as opportunity presents). I'm expecting a MASSIVE trainwreck soon, right? :)

Mc receives an email and thinks it's from Monica but it's not.
Elaine kicks Mc out of the house.
Bella makes an appearance bringing home some of Mc's things that Elaine wanted to throw away, and creates doubt in Mc about Monica.
Mc knows the terms of the will.
Jolina becomes an integral and important part of the story.
When Mc is at Jolina's and Jenna warns him about something bad she discovered on Jolina's laptop, Jolina gets beyond angry but tries not to break up with Mc and involves Jenna.
Jolina meets Bella and in the picture Mc finds on Jenna's computer, she is pictured in Elaine's house (compare fridge).
In math 1+1=2 in a visual game might not make 2
the important characters in this mystery, are Bella the dizzy, Jolina the gold digger, Elaine and Mc second and third figure in the will.
Bella knows the conditions of the will regarding Elaine and Mc, knowing that Mc is from Monica and that this would not favor her, as to receive the shares of the will of Elaine and Mc must ensure that they do not comply with the conditions otherwise if only Mc fails, his share goes to the foundation for animals.
Therefore he has to make sure that Mc and Elaine can be friends and hang out again.
In order not to expose herself too much and arouse suspicion, she plays a dual role, Mc's friend and Elaine's friend.
Are my observations accurate? Only Cheeky knows, along with the diabolical Duo.

Bella's actions, however, are quite chaotic, I struggle to see a clear direction.
her purpose would be what? to make sure that each heir has their share so that they can draw from all 3?

But......... What if MC is a serious supporter of Humane Society and ASPCA? I mean, it is the perfect opportunity to provide a large cash flow to worthwhile organizations. It would be in his interest to crush the competitions completion of will requirements. His own would be meaningless since if he wins he can direct support. If he makes all lose he actually wins. It changes the way you approach the other two actors. It allows you to be aggressive in your relationships as long as the end game is they lose. You don't care if you lose or win. Just a thought.:giggle:

On the contrary, Bella if she is as I believe the dizzy, she knows very well that if mc hangs out with Elaine, Elaine loses her share and if Mc continues to see Monica and her daughters he too loses his share and as Greg the lawyer says if two of them don't comply with the conditions imposed, all the remaining shares go to the third in this case the Dizzy.
This is also assumed by MC when Elaine revokes part of her conditions and Mc states that if Elaine does not comply with the conditions, lUi might get that part

then I disagree with your reconstruction.

Bella is the one who put the flea in MC's ear about Monica hitting on Donald.

and she is the one who shows up uninvited at the beach house risking to get Mc in trouble with Katie.

even towards Elaine he does nothing but question her behavior, foreshadowing possible low blows towards Mc (then whether or not Mc has a relationship with Elaine is optional, but in fact Bella does not facilitate the relationship)
even the only game over of the relationship with Elaine is the consequence of having given in to Bella's provocations.

every action she takes brings MC closer to his third of the inheritance.

Hmm.... Cleo's stuff....

1) in her heart, in her life, in her home..... Could be either Elaine or Monica, but I'm betting Monica.

2) sisters: sweetness there, but not all sweetness is natural... Could indicate Katie (her sweetness took work, also a lower point will be where I theorize she's adopted... There's a hint in episode 21 and she does not share features with Monica or MC (Note, I also theorize Monica is MCs Mom and Jenna is MC's blood related sister, I did NOT pursue Monica sexually and she found out about MC and Katie's relationship and didn't freak further adding a bit of support for adopted Katie. Also, on a bad path, Monica DOES lose her shit about Jenna) It could also indicate Elaine and Bella supported by my point 3.

3) The sister introduces a pretty blonde, she is close to you but closer to the sister. I'm theorizing Jenna and Joline and that Joline is bisexual with slightly more lesbian tendencies. It could also fit Katie and Debbie, but this really doesn't fit as a) if my above "adopted" theory is correct then Katie cannot be "the sister" and b) Debbie is into Lily, not Katie. Also, it could be Bella, she is another "sister" and she's acting all suspicious, but as I recall, she didn't introduce you to any blondes, did she???

4) The blonde likes you but prefers women. This further (IMO) supports my Joline theory, Joline ALMOST confessed "something" in the 3some with MC/Joline/Jenna.

5) The sister and her blonde, a will, a key, and a house beside the sea. This is an obvious reference to the beach house, but is it TOO obvious? Could it be anecdotal? The will, could be the physical will or could it be the will to push through and find happiness? The key, there was a (IMO) too obvious reference to the key under the rock of the beach house. Could also be the will to find the key to finding happiness. So, theoretically, Jenna and Joline and MC find the will to muddle through and find happiness in the house beside the sea (IE: screw the money, end up in a Jenna centric throuple) Note: I don't think that's likely, I think there will be SOME way to have it all! (except my MC doesn't deserve shit, cause he's a cheating, lying bastard whose only redeeming grace is he DOES really like/love all his LIs :) )

Further points, the Lawyer hints dropped, I don't remember all of them, but his last comment, home is where the heart is seems particualrly relevant. MC sort of has three potential homes. Monica's, Elaine's, Beach House. Any of them could be where his heart is depending on how it works out.

Just my thoughts so far, almost to the end of 21.
