Just a few clarifications for folks as there seems to be some confusion (regarding episodes, seasons, etc.)
The "original" game: Currently has 24 episodes. Episode 25 will be the last episode. And then there will be some epilogues, etc. to close everything off for each character (and maybe a couple of fantasy epilogues for endings / pairings that aren't possible in the main game, e.g. Monica/Jenna/Katie). Once episode 25 and epilogues are done....the game is done. And we will be finished with this story / characters and move onto a new game.
Work on the original game is currently paused, while we work on Season 1 of the Re-do.
The "re-do" is a total overhaul of the earlier episodes (Season 1 will cover episodes 1-10) where ALL art has been replaced/upgraded, with the addition of animations, lots of scene changes, additions, plus some brand new scenes. I have already released a partial demo of Season 1 (covers about 30% of it). The purpose of the re-do is to take the earlier episodes (some > 5 years old) and bring them up to a quality on a par with current artwork. We will then put Season 1 Steam. (The current version of the game with the original early artwork is not something I would want to put on Steam, hence the re-do).
Once this happens, I hope this will provide the opportunity to expand the team and get more people involved to increase our pace to deliver the finale that the game deserves.
For those who are speaking nonsense about the dev. I kinda asked similar question and there was his answer.
I hope some people will get their answer.

And for harem loves, there is definitely hope but we might need to wait a bit longer for that. Screenshot 2024-09-09 000530.png

Stop spreading misinformation, especially when you post what Cheeky himself said. No mention of a fucking harem there...just the bonus non-cannon Mon/Jen/Kat pairing a lot of people complained for. Anything else will be an epilogue only, not an ending.

Oh..and for the record, I also posted a discord post from Cheeky not a month ago clarifying all this....but hey, what the dev says doesn't matter eh....

What is harem in your definition smartass?? Getting every woman in the game?
Ending with multiple women isn't harem to you?
And dev mentioned about fantasy epilogue along with some new relationship pairing twist. So, I'm definitely hoping that kind of ending. Let's wait and see who is wrong.

This info should be in the OP.

Imma be a bit cautious with my wording here... I recall there being some talk about a "partial harem" ending which, in essence involved a general acceptance of Jenna as part of the Katie, Debbie, Lilly group. I also recall some talk about others (depending on who MC allows to stay at the beach house) being "tolerated" by one another. Now, what I am sure of is that CG never gave a definitive answer but was considering possibilities. So, the safe bet is to approach it as you say, "monogamy" is the rule, polygamy is the exception, in this story. All in all it's wait and see for the final chapter...



Jolina and Bella have some history as well as being in cahoots for the inheritance. In the first iteration of the story I didn't believe half of what they said were their reasons for their behavior and ran them on down the road. Having gotten that far in the story makes it difficult for me to even give either of them the time of day in subsequent play throughs. 'Course, that's just me.



That decision might have seemed "out of nowhere" for you but, I doubt it was that way for the dev. They gotta make a living, man. Overall this rework will have encompassed less than 6 months since the release of chapter 24 if they keep to the announced schedule. That seems pretty efficient to me and it didn't really come as a surprise since they talked about the possibility quite a lot before making a final decision.


Only 157 huh? Your gonna make me think the average IQ around here has increased drastically. :oops::whistle:
Long ago, was Jolina whom broke the game for me .. "GAME OVER", rejecting her.
Initial Gut Instinct on interactions onward, something just didn't set correct and is kinda same with mistrust of Bella.
On the multi-life-partners, personal experience's have me jaded to VN's examples.. being to far off.

In countless case scenarios but, that's personal observations.
Even so, this title is one of the few on the top of my recommended list to others.
Just may be a top choice for others.

LoL... As long as we have the rendering we are hoping for I don't care if they are "canon" or not.

I mean... It's fiction both ways :HideThePain:

If someone consider his fiction more "real" than mine... Not my problem... :WeSmart:

What is harem in your definition smartass??
Well, since you asked:
A harem referred to the part of a household where the mother, sisters, wives, concubines, and servants of the master of the house all lived. Originally from the Arabic ḥarīm or haram meaning prohibited or sanctuary; since it was prohibited for anyone but the women who lived there to go to that place, and it was a sanctuary for them. It was later also adapted as a reference to include the women in that group.
Getting every woman in the game?
Ending with multiple women isn't harem to you?
And dev mentioned about fantasy epilogue along with some new relationship pairing twist. So, I'm definitely hoping that kind of ending. Let's wait and see who is wrong.
I'm guessing from this you might be more interested in the modern meaning, specifically the one related to the harem genre for both stories and games.
In this case it is defined as a group where a minimum of three, or more, members are all in a relationship based around the same person. There are, however, a couple caveats which go along with that definition. One of the things that is expected with regard to a harem story is that all available love interests (LIs) will be in the same group centered around a single protagonist at the end. This is what is known as a true harem.
When a story has the MC romancing a number of different women, yet then ends with the MC having to choose only one of the LIs, this is known as a false harem. A variation of this is when the MC ends by choosing a select group, rather than just one LI, which is controversially sometimes called a partial harem. The debate being that since this type of ending leads to the rejection of potentially many LIs it should also be considered a false harem.

Essentially, what it comes down to for many is that if it isn't a true harem ending, then it isn't really considered a harem.
With regard to Where The Heart Is, while the MC does have multiple love interests, and you might even be able to make an argument for polyamory in some cases, because you have to choose one, or a very small group, it is not an actual harem story.
Just thought you might like to know.

That is the first time I've played the game all the way to the end of the present chapter. I usually lose interest but this time I chose Lilly and I'm glad I did, I had palnned to be in bed an hour ago but I've been laughing so much, the end in the comedy club is hilarious and Lilly had me in stiches. I can't remember the last time I laughed like that without being drunk. Sadly I messed up somewhere along the line and Bella claims she's pregnant but hey ho, I'm gonna play it through again when I have the time. I'll still choose Lilly though.

shit is that how pregnancy works well that is a relief. I can go back to holding hands with my lovely ladies I thought I had to start wearing gloves when holding their hands. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
Hand holding is ok. But you can still get pregnant from nose boops. ;)

You came in her vagina: IIRC that is unavoidable if you fuck her in the garage

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Interestingly enough, if you are on the romance path with Jolina, you can cut Bella out totally. If you're committed to Jolina, (Monogamy) she does not add Bella as a resident, plus you can agree with her to try to get pregnant. It SEEMS like the best path forward, but with another chapter to go, there could still be some nefarious dealing with any of them before the game ends.

I wasn't observant enough in my first couple of playthroughs to catch what Bella was up to, so I came upon the Jolina option using 20/20 hindsight.

You could still make the decision to cut Monica/Katie/Jenna out of your life for your own share, but with getting Elaine's share, Bella's share, and the 5 million to Jolina if she gets pregnant, there's really no point in that.

That happens regardless of any Jolina romance path if you are not on Bella's. ;)

I'm just spit-balling here, but I suspect you creampied her. ;)
Just played all the way through again and never went near Bella but she still calls at the end to say she's pregnant.
She's either a lying bitch trying to manipulate the MC or she's been busy with the turkey baster.

The ending in the comedy club is still one of the most hilarious things I've seen in any game.
Had me in fits of laughter again, good comedy never gets old..
