Have a look at Siren's latest "v1.0 First Look" post on Patreon.

There is no Chinese version and my best guess is that the creator won't make one.

According to Siren's latest public Patreon post, the 1.0 release will be paid only.

Trying to give answers to questions I see coming up every now and again.

I'm stuck and can't progress the story

I'm stuck and can't progress Linda's story

The most common cause is Linda's outfit. She needs to be in her regular clothes (black & teal) for her story to progress. You might also want to take a look at this gameplay guide:

What's the solution to Emily's colour puzzle?

Is there a Mac release and/or will there ever be?

I can't speak for the developer, but there is no Mac release for the game's current version and looking at other games made by this creator, I doubt there will be one. I suppose Mac users need to run this game inside an emulator.

How do I transfer saves to a new version?

I believe Siren describes it quite well in this community/forum post: 
https://itch.io/t/2332796/guide-transferring-save-files

I can't see my mouse cursor. What do I do?

You can restart the game by pressing F5. Do this until you can see your mouse cursor again.

Is there full screen mode?

You can press F4 to make the game fullscreen. Keep in mind that the artwork is in 720p and will be upscaled to your screen.

If there are any other questions that come up frequently, I'll add them here. You can also feel free to ask here.

My Spanish is terrible, but there is no translation of this game, and I don't think there will be any. No hay una traducción, lo siento.

You get some more ore less obvious cues throughout dialogue. I think the profile pages of the characters would be nice to keep track of this kind of stuff.

Do the laundry a couple of times. If in doubt, have some more scenes with Linda. You also need to talk to her one or two times to unlock the "scene" of playing with her butt.

You're done with this event when you get the option to change her clothes.

So you had both the scene with Linda in the morning at the cabinet, and the scene with Linda & Emily in front of the TV? That's all of this update, even though the final texts suggests otherwise.

I've tried to look into it a bit and it seems that the game behaves like this if you give a specific name for your relation to the woman. I managed to figure it out for Julie and Emily, but not Linda. Could you tell me what you put in for Linda for this behaviour to happen?

Original post has been updated for version 0.20.1.

• Issues have been added.
  • Continuity: Different voice for Emily in her v0.20 scene.
  • Continuity: Multiple dialogues not adjusting to the current state of story progression.
  • Interaction & Transition: Transitions during Emily & Linda’s v0.20 scene (livingroom daytime).
  • Graphics & Display: Wrong or missing backgrounds for texts / options throughout the game. These have most likely existed since the start.
  • Graphics & Display: Golden apple in player’s cupboard not changing colour during nighttime.
  • Graphics & Display: Multiple graphical bugs during the progression of v0.20 story.
  • Suggestions for future content: Chance or option for other characters to walk in on scenes.

So you had Linda walk in on you and Emily in the morning? (Linda needs to be in her regular clothes (black and teal) for the story to progress.) After that, talk to both Emily and Linda. In the morning, visit Linda in the living room. This should trigger the scene automatically.

After that, keep trying to talk to Emily throughout the day. The next day, during daytime, visit the living room and the final scene of the update should play.

You must have progressed far enough with both Linda and Emily. You need to have the sleepover scene with Emily, in which you are caught by Linda. After that, keep talking to both of them throughout the day. (By the way, Linda needs to be in her regular clothes (black and teal).)

Visit Linda in the living room in the morning, and the first scene should play automatically. Emily walks in on you both. Try finding and talking to Emily throughout the day.

The next day, during daytime go to the living room to trigger the final scene of this update.

As far as I understand it from Siren's public Patreon post, the next update will be the final. Which is a shame, because I agree quite a lot that there needs to be at least a scene with Julie & Emily and a scene with all 3 women. Also, Emily has a criminally low number of scenes overall (even including her various outfits for basically the same scenes).

There is the "in-screen-scene" with Linda in the living room in the morning, and the scene with Linda and Emily in front of the TV during the day.

There is the "in-screen-scene" with Linda in the living room in the morning, and the scene with Linda & Emily in front of the TV during the day.

There is a "in-screen-scene" with Linda in the living room in the morning, and the scene with Linda & Emily in front of the TV during the day.

There is one "in-screen-scene" with Linda in the living room in the morning, and the scene with Linda & Emily in front of the TV during the day.

It's one "in-screen-scene" with Linda in the living room and the scene with Linda & Emily in front of the TV.

Can you specify the bug? What is it, where does it occur, etc.?

Apparently the update has been released for Patreon supporters about 30 minutes ago. Public release is planned for tuesday, 29th of October.

According to the public release date post over on Patreon, the new release was planned for about the 25th of October. Since it didn't release yesterday, I suspect it will be delayed for another week. Keep an eye out for their Patreon page.

There hasn't been any comment by Siren on that topic. However, I doubt it for this game, since it all takes place within a couple of days or weeks during summer holidays.

Do you mean the one on gamegill.com? Seems pretty cryptic to me. If not, can you maybe specify which guide you used?
It seems to me that the guide on gamegill.com covers about all the content up until version 0.13 of this game. There have been 6 updates since then. I couldn't find a more complete guide quickly. Generally speaking, keep talking to the characters during different times of the day and do scenes with them. For Linda's story to progress, you should change her into her standard (teal & black) clothes.

Since a Mac compatible release was removed in another game by Siren (itch post here), I feel like Mac compatibility has a pretty low priority. However, there is still the possibility of running the game in an emulator on Mac.

According to Siren's newest public Patreon post, next release (for paying Patreon members) is aimed for Friday, 25th of October. However, the release might geht delayed for another week (that would be 1st of November, then). Public release is typically a couple of days after that.

Since a Mac compatible release was removed in another game by this developer (itch post here), I feel like Mac compatibility has a pretty low priority. However, there is still the possibility of running the game in an emulator on Mac.

The scene with Linda and Julie in Linda's bedroom is the last scene for both so far.

According to Siren's roadmap over on patreon, the final update will be paid only.

That "quality time" line indicates to me that Linda is in her laundry day outfit (white and yellow)? Try changing her clothes to her regular ones (black and teal).

As already answered in this thread, Siren has released a rough roadmap on their patreon page. Judging by the releases this year so far, you can expect an update every 2 to 3 months.

Please have a look at the latest Development log post: House Chores - Beta 0.19 | Public Release!.

Original post has been updated for version 0.19.

• Issues have been added / reworded.
  • Continuity: Different voice for Linda in v0.19 scene / since v0.15 scenes.

Siren has released a roadmap over on patreon.

I'm not a developer but from what I can tell, it must be some kind of RPG maker game.

Since a Mac compatible release was removed in another game by this developer (itch post here), I feel like Mac compatibility has a pretty low priority. However, there is still the possibility of running the game in an emulator on Mac.

Aw, thanks buddy! :D

Siren stated on their newest Patreon post that the next update will be available for patreons on friday, 23rd of August, and for the public on monday, 26th of August.

I agree that development has been rather slow lately. Since the start of the year it has been around 2 months for each update. Version 0.18 had one new scene really. Version 0.19 is set to release at some point in August (that's over 2 months since 0.18) and will include one new scene with Linda (however, it's going to be a scene similar to the holiday special, so there's arguably a lot more programming and artwork necessary for that scene).

@Monke4Life: I don't quite follow how you come up with 16 years. Siren has stated on their Patreon page that there are going to be about 4 more updates to this game before it's finished. I suspect that will include getting Emily into the group activities and maybe a final scene with all 3 of them. Siren has stated they're most likely planning to continue the story in another game.

I've read in multiple threads that you need to change Linda's costume to her regular clothes (teal & black) for her story to progress.

As stated in multiple threads before it's red, green, yellow, blue.
