The guy takes an absolute age to produce each update. It's worth the wait, but the wait each time can be interminable. I find I almost have to go back and replay the game to remember what stage parts of the plot have reached.
This is a really desperate shame because the story and the characters, especially their personalities, interactions and their reactions to circumstance are second to none and make for a very special, amazingly engrossing and immersive experience.
Make no mistake, this is a really standout AVN. Though cruelly unheralded, in my opinion, this is right up there alongside the very best in the genre, but you have to have a tremendous amount of patience. In and of itself, Halfway House, aside from the long "intermissions" is absolutely worth every single penny.
