About Where The Heart Is

Your mother died several years ago and your father has recently died (Happy start, right ?). You are returning to your childhood home to visit your deceased mother’s best friend Monica and Monica’s two daughter’s whom you grew up. You haven’t seen them in several years (for reasons explained in the game). In addition to these three ladies, there will be plenty of other characters in play (friends, foes, neighbors, stalkers and the “Coffee-Shop Girl”). Now go ring the doorbell. Monica and the rest of the ladies are waiting…….​

EP25 Dec 16, 2025

The episode is currently 58,000 lines long, which is over 2.5 times bigger than episode 24. And 36 times bigger than episode 1. So, yeah… I should have spread the game out over 35 episodes, not 25, but no point looking back at this stage. We also have 5400 items of art (renders & animations) in this episode alone, so this has been a massive undertaking.
Once episode 25 has been released, I’ll be in touch with all of you next week to discuss next steps and get inputs on what you want to see next (DLC / epilogues, Season 2, New games) as I have lots of plans, but want to make sure it aligns with what you folks want.

    This is one of the best games I have played so far.. very entertaining and some of the dialogues are really funny.. it’s right up there with DMD and Melody imo.

      Don’t really know why you telling us that but for me its one that wasn’t good at all. The graphics are to run away, gives me creepy shivers and the dialoges are as creepy as the graphics. Fishing for compliments, shallow conversation, flat jokes. Not that this is uncommon for this genere but man can you really call that “best game”?

          This is not up to us. You can follow the developer for progression.

      I know right? This website is ALWAYS VERY LATE behind similar websites which update their games MUCH FASTER, here takes MONTHS to update after new version was released!

        Since it is free to use your complaining is really weird. You are free to leave.

          Actually, your complaining of my complaining is way weirder. 😏
          What? You actually believe that anything free is beyond criticism? That’s very candid of you. As the greek philosopher Aristotle stated it thousands of years ago: “There is only one way to avoid criticism. Do nothing, say nothing and be nothing.” 😉
          And I don’t need you to know what I can do and what I can’t do, thank you for nothing. 😼

    3 new chapters are unfortunately a waste of time. So in the end “Bella” is supposed to be the bad guy. Instead of Elaine (who is demonstrably the bad guy according to the video evidence). The game has many logic errors. Chapter 21 suddenly takes away any player’s ability to have a regular relationship with either Jenna or Katie. The first 20 chapters were still more or less ok and exciting (also very funny at times, to laugh), but from chapter 21 the script writers can’t think of anything anymore. then all the hentai bullshit (last chapter that’s really horrible) instead of a really meaningful story… endless clicks. Chapters 1 – 20: 3.5 stars out of 5. Chapter 21: 1 out of 5 stars. Including bugs and relationship errors. (so i dont want only only “fuckscenes” – i need also a better background story)

      I figured out that Bella was not innocent for a long time already even though I abandoned this visual novel years ago, it was all too predictable and the story was taking forever to continue so I ended losing all interest for it and your feedback about the author losing inspiration tells me I was all right, thank you. 😉

    I’m becoming annoyed by this game, don’t get me wrong, I love it, great storyline. what’s annoying is every time I go to create a relationship to induce a sex scene, the game does the rollback crash screen so I have to back track and decide against the relationship just to keep the game going. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, the whole point of a sex game, is SEX! but if you can’t induce relationships to get to the sex scenes, what’s the point of the game
