The issue here, is that Renpy isn't really all that great with recreating a phone. Unity, Construct3, even Godot is the better option since they have entire toolkits to modify a UI, whereas renpy does not.

In this guy's shoes, I'd get a new lawyer, and new family. Not my kink, but the story was well written.

For me personally, this "trapped" feeling one experience with the MC and him basically relying on the outside world to give him information on things he needs, is massively thrilling especially on the update we now got, where he sends his buddy after his girl, I LOVE these, just wish there was a easier way to write 5000 lines of code, that we could get bigger, longer updates .... The AI work has improved quite a lot too, the MCs wife looks incredibly hot with the new renders we got, thanks Dev,
The boat story was fine as a concept, although Jesse going into too many unnecessary details imo. But that rope story was a pain to read. And like in other phone games, a complete stranger, this time Kira, having nothing in common with MC, starts messing with him like they know each other since forever.

My guess is that at the end of the game, you'll get the password to unlock InstBook. Then you find out what really happened during all those scenes you only got glimpses of.
Pretty much every NPC in the game is a potential unreliable narrator. In regards to the wife, the only concrete evidence you have that she may be cheating on you is the picture the lawyer's "little birdie" took of her kissing the DA at the art exhibit. Everything else could be Three's Company levels of social misunderstandings combined with intentional misdirection from other NPC's.
I remember that old Bladerunner game made by Westwood Studios in the 90s. At the start of the game, there was randomization on which characters were replicants and which weren't (including the MC) so that each playthrough was different. Perhaps when you get the password to InstBook, it may reveal what happened, but what happened may be different depending on the playthrough and the few choices you were given.

If you want to go back and play the game again, ScummVM supports Blade Runner (though not the enhanced edition), and includes an optional addition which restores content cut from the final game but described in development documentation
Interesting theory, but I think it'll be mostly used for the stepdaughter and her friend more than the wife. Unless the wife somehow gets a lucrative job offer as a model (which is possible after this last update).
Personally, I still think a spy app or something would be cool. I know a few other NTR phone games are doing that, but maybe it doesn't work all the time. Or the lawyer has enough access to it that he controls how much the player sees, etc. Still keeps the suspense while shedding a bit more light on the fact that the wife is clearly hiding something. I'm not saying she's cheating, not beyond that kiss, but she's hiding things for sure. The datamined blowjob pic mentioned above means little, as devs name their files in a way they can remember what they're used for.

Even regarding the kiss, we don't know what happened before and after. The DA could have grabbed her and kissed her without her consent and the picture was just snapped at the right time. The next second she could have shoved him away, and that conversation in the car that everyone thinks is a blowjob could have been an argument in private. Or the DA wanted to relay information to her without alerting the "little birdies" the DA knew were watching and they staged the encounter to make it look like she was giving the DA a blowjob. The lawyer is heavily based on Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and sometimes his choice of words like "I'd never lie to a client" can be sus. Who really is the client? I'm thinking back to Better Call Saul, when Crazy 8 was picked up and Lalo wanted to use him to give the DEA false information. Who was really the client in that situation, Crazy 8 or Lalo? Perhaps his client is the person who set us up. Is he even really a lawyer? He hasn't done any court work for us yet. That would make all the information gained from him and any of the contacts we have gained through him (pretty much everyone) to be suspect. Your wife may also have uncovered information in her investigation that the lawyer is not on the level but can't relay that information to you. Perhaps she found out that the lawyer is lying and that the cell phone is compromised and can't tell you without also tipping off the lawyer, so that is why she is lying to you while working on her own to uncover the mystery while also from the text conversations making it look like she is a dumb slut while instead, she is uncovering the truth. The whole "blowjob fantasy" story after the dinner date could have been a setup to give an excuse as to why she would go to the car with the DA for an extended period of time and was more for the benefit of other people observing what they talk about on the cell phone than the husband's.
The only thing I do know is that the story is set up as a mystery and things probably aren't occurring as they appear to be on the surface.
I like the concept but unless the wife/daughters POV is shown as well i'm not interested.
Shame.
Shame.
I think everyone will agree that the story needs more pictures - especially I can't wait for pictures of sex with wife.

I'm not sure why you want to force this, or why you're putting so much stock in a file name. Olivia is wearing a black dress BOTH before and after this scene. The dude says outright that it wasn't her, and he doesn't even seem to know what the situation is, so why would he lie? Not to prevent the MC from knowing how far she's gone with other men, because he then describes her doing the exact same thing with 2 other men. So, what would be the point of lying? The image comes in a linear set of images for Olivia's story path, so for organizational purposes, it makes perfect sense to have Olivia's name in the file name, even if the character in the image is not Olivia, especially if the character is an unimportant one-off without her own name in the story.
This is a very interesting theory. It does kinda match up too, with Kira admitting she was messing with the Player. If it were me, I wouldn't have had her 'messing' with the player and instead specifically relaying what she saw, and was told, leaving the joke out of it. She doesn't know MC enough to make those jokes unless she's just a cunt or is in on the boss' plan to corrupt the wife.
I'm gonna push my 'spy app' request here, once again, because I feel like it could be a really useful tool at some point in the story. Obviously MC has special circumstances seeing as he's not placed in gen-pop like other 'murderers.' Perhaps another inmate notices he has a phone, and agrees to get him a useful app in exchange for the occasional use of said phone.
