I don't know that it would even be fair to compare what's happened so far to the Stairway to Heaven yet... The game is such a slow burn that you're only a few days further than where part 2 ends and those days haven't led to much alone time with Amanda, so who knows. I'm gonna replay it all from the beginning at some point, see if I cant trigger things in a way that I like better by having certain flags. But Overall I do think it's too early to quite throw it in the Stairway pile...
That's not my intent. I was just going off of what was described in that post. I was speaking of the phenomenon as a whole, not saying it applied here yet. Like I said, I can't speak on the game itself but when I saw a complaint that mirrors ones that I myself had made in the past, I figred I'd comment on it.

Im having problems with chapter 4. I get to the point where you talk about hearing your daughter arrive at home and you are thinking about talking to her or going to bed. After that the dialogue box vanishes and i cant do anything else

Having never played this game: if I want to play Ch4+5 with imported choices, do I need to play Ch1-3 online or offline, and with what browser?

Online with any browser, once you've finished chapter 3 use the import save tutorial in the OP to download a backup, then import when you start chapter 4.

I thought chapter 4 was when you could have sex with Heidi or Veronica. Am I missing something? The chapter 4 I'm playing is short and only involves a date with Kathy that leads nowhere.

Haven't played since around chapter 2, and am looking forward to catch up when I have time (working on my own stuff takes time). But the main issue you are talking about is something I also bring up all the time. I even came up with a trope name for it: The Stairway to Heaven, and you can read about it here:

Different games move at different paces. And as frustrating as I can find these scenes as a player myself. Some people love a slow, teasing progression. Games that start with tons of early sex often also have the weakest plots, though there are exceptions like Good Girl Gone Bad. So as a dev it's all about finding the middle ground. And that's harder than it seems to be fair. There is also the concern I have seen voiced that when the sex actually happens, Patrons won't stick around because they already have what they wanted. I can't speak to that personally, but I do think that the fear is likely overblown so long as the dev doesn't make sex the end of the relationship. It should be a new beginning in the story, but definitely not the end.
This VN follows the more traditional visual novel route, starting with lots of story and character development (the occasional erotic tease) and then works it's way eventually into more erotic material... For me, if it's told right and feels immersive, I don't mind it... Makes getting to the more erotic stuff have more meaning, and feels more emotional... Not every story has to be told in the same way... Variety and immersion are key...

Was the problem of not recognizing the departure of the previous chapter solved?
If you're not seeing a pickup in the new chapter from the old, it is most likely because you are playing a different medium version... There is a stand alone program version for each chapter, and a web browser based version... They are not compatible with each other as far as carrying over from one chapter to the next...

Well on replay I can definitely say it's not... Both the ginger and the best friend full on all 3 holes. So yeah.

In real version is an incest-version for all those who rednecks who don´t believe in evolution.
In adopted version the daughter is *surprise, surprise* adopted, a version for people who do not have the the unhealthy urge to act against the nature of their genes.

Thank Dev for the adopted version, cause this is a good game!
3% chance of something going wrong in 1st generation incest... 1.5% chance of something going wrong in general... Things like alcohol and cigarettes, perfectly legal, are far more likely to cause problems in a child than incest... Just saying, if you don't like incest, that's fine, but when you go and judge someone, at least do so from a point of knowledge.

The date with Kathy should lead nowhere, believe me I tried a bunch of different things, however you should if you were intimate with Heidi or Veronica prior get a message from them to meet as you're leaving Kathy's. For me, with Heidi that ended in the what might be the best scene in the game so far.

I played the first chapter from the program (not from the web browser) and wanting to load my game in the next chapters (also from the program) I marked error and I fucked. Many people had the same thing. What version do you play? which one works for you?

Always play the web/online version, as its compatible with the cracked version, as well as any future official or cracked versions too.

Yeah, you can't crossplatform the saves. You'll have to replay the first one in browser. With the skip feature you'll be done in 5 minutes. Just make the choices you want and you'll be able to keep playing... If you come to a choice and you don't remember what the question was hit undo, you can remake your last choice and follow the story from there to the next choice to get the context you need to decide.

Personally I prefer the stand alone program version... Hence why I plan to patiently wait for chapters 4 and 5 to get released in that format... I don't want to be flip flopping back and forth between formats with this thing... I can wait...
