The title is also wrong, it's called Family Project not Project Family, not even the VNDB page calls it Project Family. Even the header image at the top has it as Family Project, no clue how the OP got the game title completely wrong.

That isn't something I can really answer, everyone has different reading speeds, I don't really keep track of that anyways.

The visual novel is 10 to 30 hours long according to vndb, there appears to be only 3 h-scenes per route. imho it's a very good visual novel, already rated it a 10 on vndb.

It adds some light shadowing to the outline of the characters and setting the opacity to 0% makes it worse not better imho. I've finished 3 routes already (Yui, Ayaka and Kasumi. On Shiori now and Yoshino is last) since I starting reading it the day I bought it when it first came out directly from NekoNyan's website. imho there is absolutely nothing wrong with Aoba as a character, her voice nor her personality.

They no longer do that (that annoying and completely unnecessary popup is gone when rating a 10 or 1) and I always ignored it anyways as it is the users choice what they rate not VNDB choice.

There's no such thing as good or bad taste to begin with and everyone rates differently anyways, most of my VNDB list is full of 10s because I rate by enjoyment only and I tend to enjoy what I read.

Another reason to not support visual novels on Steam at all, imho visual novels really don't belong on Steam or similar platforms.

You should look at the first post and look for the link to the translation progress, it is still being worked on and progress is updated on that link. https://1drv.ms/x/s!AhHDq_NSwaAqgSnImaDDLTME-lmi

I guess to you the choices wasn't very obvious, I never had that issue, I knew what to choose to get into Momiji's route just like I did with Bethly and Hina's routes. I don't start a new game when a route gets translated, I start from a save from the very first choice with Bethly and go from there.

I just finished reading Momiji's route yesterday, it is fantastic, expect it to be just as long as the other routes, I enjoyed it a lot more than Bethly and Hina's routes so far (not saying they aren't good, they're really good).

That's been at 100% since January I think, it's the side stories that aren't finished yet, they're barely at 40% done when I last checked but that still leaves Editing (I think that is what it's called) and TLC which has the least progress.

How is something this good painful for you to read? It makes no sense, it's a fantastic visual novel imho.

I hate to burst your bubble but they are nowhere near close to being done with the translation, the side stories aren't even done yet (only 27.66%) and even after they finish that there is still editing (which is only 88.73% done with side stories editing only at 26.86% done) and TLC they have to do (TLC is only 54.65% done and only up to Licia at 14.20%) and there already going at a really slow pace, I don't expect it to be done anytime soon, it'll probably take several more months to finish.

This is just another case that proves visual novels don't belong on Steam at all and the reason I will no longer buy any visual novel off of Steam. Also the cut content is the prologue, common route and 3 character routes, you jump straight into Himeguri Taruhi route. This is worse censorship then If My Heart Had Wings or any MoeNovel title.

Did you install Japanese Supplemental Fonts (Settings > Apps & Features > Optional Features)? Windows 10 doesn't come with these already installed and many visual novels won't work without them also make sure the Non-Unicode Language is set to Japanese. I don't have issues with visual novels on Windows 10 except the older ones that use DirectDraw since Windows 8 and 10 don't support it. I've never had to use compatibility mode on any visual novel and you should never have to use it.

Sadly Eushully titles are only translated by fans since Eushully themselves refuse to bring their visual novels over to the west for whatever reason even though I'm pretty sure they'd do pretty good over here since they make really good hybrid visual novels. For the ones I've played the story and gameplay elements are great imho.

imho a walkthrough guide is completely unnecessary for this title with it's built-in flowchart which makes it also unnecessary to save on any choices.

How can it expire again so soon? Nevermind, looks like it's something else causing the site to not be secure, the certificate hasn't expired.

The bolded part is where you are completely wrong, he does get back into playing FC but you HAVE to read all 4 routes to see that which you already refused to do for stupid reasons (I don't care how rude that is, your reasons are just lame excuses, both Mashiro and Rika's routes are good), you only read two routes which means you have by no means completed the visual novel at all, there is no point in you even giving it a rating when you haven't even finished it.

The Sequels are not unnecessary, you really shouldn't say that without having played them yourself. The sequels are really good as well, they may even be better than the first game. That VN you linked, it's not a good one at all, I doubt Valve would ever allow a VN of it's type on Steam, they already don't allow any VNs with Loli like content of either all-ages or ones with adult content. Supporting VNs on Steam is a bad idea anyways imho, VNs don't belong on Steam no matter what kind they are.

Rewatching it won't change my opinion on it at all. Sure the visual novel is of course better that is always the case but I did fully enjoy the anime adaptation.

The anime adaptation of Mask of Deception is actually pretty on point, there is nothing to butcher except for the adaptation to the first game now that got butchered, they left out key parts of the story. FYI I won't touch the remake to the first game at all.

Until you read all 4 routes (your reasoning for not reading Mashiro and Rika routes is beyond stupid) I'm not taking your opinion seriously at all and will consider it invalid, there is a special ending that only unlocks after you finish all 4 routes and will no doubt change your opinion on the visual novel as a whole.

It expired again.

They just released a new patch which includes the missing files: https://tsurezurescans.wordpress.com/2020/01/03/giniro-haruka-update-15-7-1-image-update/
