They are both worth playing. But if you don't like the old version at first it gets better. Mainly the reason it has been remade.

Just download version 1.0. I also have 0.13 the older version and didnt find anything missing at 1.0 ...why it is smaler?...maybe some pics are compressed or something but you will not notice any quality difference. I also didnt found any scenes missing...but as i said more extra scenes and final ending sequences are added. So you can go for Version 1.0
There never was a 1.0 or 0.13 of the old version. If you have one, you are mixing up games.

Sorry...yes i was in wrong Thread....the old version of WIAB is not bad but not that atmospheric and graphically polished..its also already completed thats why its big....the new version is highly polished and also tuned with very atmospheric music and cutscenes but not finished yet so thats the reason why its smaller. The Dev promised to slightly modify also the story and if he keeps that quality to the ennd i think it will become the most beautyful VN.
I think you are still not quite getting it. The old version, which was up to v0.6, was never a complete game. The story didn't finish.
The reworked version will be more than slightly modified. While the major plot points will probably remain, how we get there will likely be quite different.

What is the major plot tho? The old version ended at the MCs court hearing. I think Ocean said stuff from the last updates of the of the original game will be kept so i wonder if the MC being framed and going to prison will be in the reworked version because that was part of the main plot wasn't it?

Haven't played this before so let me just get some things straight. Do I still need to play the old 0.6? Or downloading and playing the reworked Chapter 1 good enough? Since I've read that the story(or at least leading to the story) of the old version is different to the new one, I guess it's alright to just start at the reworked version then?

Not at all. This is an hard reboot. But i'd recommend to play it anyway. It's not a very good game, but it's quite a rollercoaster and i think it's worth a few hours of your life.

I see. Alright if I really enjoyed Ch1 I might try it. I really liked the dev's other game.
Tastes vary, but while I think the rework is much better, the original, even as it displays Ocean's learning curve, was a pretty good game. I certainly enjoyed playing it.
the original to me feels like a book that while had problems felt interesting and unique while the remake feels like the book got turned into a bad hollywood movie with high quality productions and actors and just to me comes across as basic and boring

To my mind, it is far too early in the story for me to be able to come to such a firm opinion as you hold. We are in the exposition stage of the rising action. We haven't even met Katie yet. The conflict hasn't been introduced. If this was a Hollywood movie we would be at the 5-minute mark of a 3-hour feature. So while I agree that it is fully possible that this remake has the potential to suffer in comparison ultimately and disappoint in the long run I'm not prepared to make that call so soon.

Yes, the games are heavy intertwined, but don't think that Bella is some kind related to Katie.
It looks like the canon story is that William Zane (WIAB MC) and Miru are staying together and - till now - it looks so that Ayua (SG) is the offspring of this two.
Is there any news about an update anytime soon? I know that the dev is also working on summer's gone, just asking
I honestly don't recall anything in SG that alluded specifically to William. It's entirely possible Miru decided to keep his child even though they were no longer together.
And then there's also Miru's unnamed sister in the old WIAB. I'm not sure if it's been made clear or not that Ayua is Miru's child or niece.

Ocean said this in SG Dev log 12 :
SG Ch4 will be released sometime in late April or May. This is just my guess after studying the Dev logs so far - Ocean hasn't come up with the release date yet.
So I guess WiAB Ch2 might be released in May or early June.
