Long Story Short – Unofficial Ren’Py Port [v0.9a build 37] [GetOutOfMyLab]

April 29, 2024F95

This is a Ren’Py port of Long Story Short

You will be playing as a guy, who’s never really clicked with girls too much. You’d much rather spend your time on the computer than dealing with real-life relationships.
However, It’ll all quickly start to change shortly after diving into the story. Your best friend, Joe, has made a significant change in his life, and he is there to pull you out of your comfort zone into a new lifestyle.
Vanessa, Joe’s girlfriend, and Ann, her shy friend, are just two of the girls you’ll encounter early on in the story. Are you going to build a relationship with sweet, shy, Ann? Maybe you’d corrupt her instead? Heck, why not try to steal Vanessa away from Joe?

Developer Notes:

I started this Ren’Py port of Long Story Short mid-February 2022, with TTrick’s full support. My goal was to learn Ren’Py, which I feel I’ve accomplished. I do this in my spare time out of love for the game. With the initial release here, I plan to release as I complete each version of content until I catch up to the official game’s content.

Versioning: The Ren’Py port will have the version number that matches the content available for that version from the official game. The build number indicates any changes I make to the Ren’Py port, whether it’s new content, bug fixes, or improvements that are not relevant to the official game.
