why the game size is small (3.14gb)here compare to public version(18gb) at patreon?
I dont want to play the compressed version
download 13+gb patreon original

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.

ask the guy from above (and i quoted him wrong, he said 18gb, and not 13).
i have no idea what "original" size on patreon could be (usually those are the same as the versions leaked here), yet he bumped with a question "why the game size here is only 3.5gb, on patreon it is 18gb, i dont wanna to play compressed etc etc".

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.

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.

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:
