v0.10r - 2025-10-23
This update fixes a bug that caused players to miss a small scene in two specific paths:
Ann’s girlfriend route (non-corruption)
Ann’s hate route (not girlfriend)

You can still use your old saves. This scene doesn't change much besides some context between Ann and the MC.
However, if you’d like to see said scene, make sure you are on the right path and simply load a save right before returning the outfit to Mario (the big, buffed guy).

This patch also enables unlocking of the “Wear It Now” gallery item that was bugged.

Fixed an issue where the achievement She wants to be popular didn't get unlocked
Renamed achievement - I'm out of control! To I'm in control!

v0.10
Changes
Complete V0.10 chapter.
Added missing animation for the Vanessa + Customer scene (hotel).
Ann will only give a BJ to one of the motel guys if they actually have sex at the motel.
Emily’s relationship can now progress further depending on whether you touched her, not just if you joined her in bed.
If you’re not dating Ann, you can now avoid watching her have sex with the motel guys.
Pressing O now toggles the text overlay.
Added a new Help section in the main menu to see all keybinds.
Pressing F12 (default Steam screenshot) will no longer bring back the UI if it’s hidden (by pressing H).
Bug Fixes

Fixed an instance where the game jumped to the wrong scene after talking with Vanessa outside.
Fixed a freeze when loading during the Vanessa/Customer memory sequence on the bus.
Fixed the issue where the game stopped during Ann’s texts instead of showing the game end screen.
Fixed an issue where rolling back and then clicking advance sometimes caused the music to change unexpectedly.

Version 0.4 build 12 (initial Ren'Py port release)
Includes all story content through the end of v0.4 of official game (Events after Joe's birthday party at the pub)
Replay Gallery
Android port
Content from v0.8 of the official game that was added to earlier content (such as the changes to Vanessa's photos on Joe's phone)

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.
