About

A man walks out of prison and finds the life he had before is gone, so he goes looking for something to fill the space it left. That search drops him straight between two outlaw biker clubs at war with each other, each one testing him before they'll call him family.

The pull between the clubs is the whole story: acceptance isn't handed over, it's earned through favors, tasks, and whatever loyalty ends up costing him. Along the way he tangles with the women connected to both sides, and those relationships blur the line between what he's doing for the club and what he's doing for himself.

Play moves through episodic chapters told in still images and animated scenes, with choices steering who he grows close to and which club he leans toward. It's a slow build rather than a quick payoff, with each episode adding more images and animated sequences than the last as the story keeps stretching out.

Episode 14 (v10 Part 4 Full) - Hotfix 1
An optional Hotfix to correct two images when MC first goes to Kat's Tats and one image when MC rides with Willow from Gunner's shop.
It adds missing images and dialog with Chloe when MC takes Kira, Spike and Issy to the Fox Box to meet everyone.
It also corrects a couple typos and continuity errors. None of the errors are game breaking so you can skip the Hotfix if you like.
Episode 14 (v10 Part 4 Full)
This is full release of Long Road Home Episode 14. This release is the final version of the Long Road Home Episode 10 Part 4 Beta.
There is a very small addition of new content. I added an option to choose not to have sexual relations with Nora while maintaining a Wife or Girlfriend relationship with Rachael. I also added more options when dealing with Megan in the workout room. Episode 14 ends with the Nora event.
It has been extensively proofread and debugged. I've modified the coding to make the animations run more smoothly. I've corrected several story continuation errors. It does have significant improvements to readability and gameplay.
I've made all the changes with the goal being to not affect anyone's save games. All my saves have loaded with no issues. I have run through the full game multiple times without errors. But with tens of thousands of lines of code and dialog, something could have got by me. Let me know if you run into an issue and I’ll address it.

v10 Part 4 Beta Update 2

610 still images
26 Animations/loops (4,000+ animation slides)
4,562 lines of code and text
This is update patch 2 for the Ep. 10 Part 4 Beta (Nora security event)
This update plugs right on to the existing Ep. 10 Part 4 Beta release so your saves should work and you will not have the replay the whole episode.
This side plots in this event will continue to play out in Chapter two.
There is no new content if you are not on the Rachael path**
You must be on the Rachael wife path, or girlfriend path to see new content.
If you are not on the Rachael path, you will need to wait until the Leelee bike date event is complete.
The Leelee bike date is smaller and less complex event. I’ll get it completed as fast as I can. I’m not giving a timeline on it until I know I can deliver.

v10 Part 4 Beta Update 1

v10 Part 4 Beta Hotfix

09-01-2024 Corrected looping on the Angel (with pubic hair, no vaginal blood path). Also, another wrong image being displayed on the Angel path. Big thanks to Roger_Welco for catching these bugs.
08-28-2024 Corrected wrong images being displayed on the Angel "solo" path. Big thanks to Roger_Welco for catching that bug and wordsmithing some dialog at the Fox Box.
Corrected more typos from Tbo and Ohhimfox 8-26-2024
Big thanks to Tbo and RGP studio for finding typos and sending them to me so I can correct them.
Big thanks to Sancho for finding a loop if you are not on the Angel path.
Big thanks to AetherAddict for finding numerous typos, transposed and missing words and sending them to me so I can correct them.
Big thanks to Ohhimfox for finding a bug if you chose to not see Katy's virginal blood when you deflower her.
Just drop the ep10p4.rpy file into you Long Road Home "game" folder and let it override the file.
Note: To be sure to see the corrections, remove the ep10p4.rpyc file when you add the Hotfix. That file retains old information.
Ren'Py will generate a new ep10p4.rpyc file when you start the game.

Overview,
Willow has a big event with choices that could impact her and MC’s future.
Larisa has a small event for her first-time dancing at the Fox Box.
Angelica has a small event at the Fox Box.
Rachael fans will rejoice. Our favorite ginger has a large event with choices that will impact other side stories.
Stan will send MC on a run to pick up an envelope for him. That will put in motion a long multi-faceted event. MC meets an old friend from his time I the service. MC also will meet several new characters that will have side stories in Chapter two. It also will give you choices as to how the war with the Minions plays out.
You may notice that the number of animations changed from the previous update. I pushed those scenes to Episode 10 part 4. I did that because I shifted the sequence of events in the main story.

v0.9.1 Full Update

THERE IS NOT ANY NEW CONTENT****
This is a Features/Script/Bugfix update to LRH 0.9.0
It enables the EZ-Mode option all the way through the game.
It adds music and sound effects all the way through the game.
It corrects some random non-critical script errors scattered throughout the game.
It corrects copious amount of labeling/typos/word salads/grammar errors.
It adds a DEV comment to let people know the story continues on the red path and prompts to save game in episode 3 when deciding how you will deal with JD.
Hopefully this will keep people from getting to the end of the blue path and think that's all of the content.
I didn't change any code that would break old saves, but just in case I've attached a clean save game that starts at the beginning of episode 9. That save has all the girls in play.
I attached a barebones WT, but it isn't needed with the in-game WT.

v0.8.5 Episode notes

New for 0.8.5 Added EZ-Mode switch.

It is enabled by default. You can disable it in the Preferences Menu
Added more sound effects and music tracks.
Fixed typos and coding errors.

232 Sound effects and music tracks.
8 Major events
GUI and game changes
Changed fonts (Hopefully better visibilty in most scenes)
Added a "Hide text" button (Look for small grey "X" on far top right of the text box.)
Pardon the humble brag, but I run the game on a large monitor and don't have any problem seeing the button.
It may be too small to see on smaller screens or devices though. I may need to make the button bigger
based on feedback from all of you.
I added a cheat menu at the end of a couple of the date events. The date events have two
possible H scene endings. The cheat menu gives you the opportunity to see the other date ending.
Sound Effects* (Check your music and sound sliders!)
I added more music and sound effects in the game. Honestly I'm not happy with most of them,
but it is a time sucker searching for good sound effects. I'll search for better sounds and add them little by little.
I was going to hold off with sounds, but now that we have motorcycles in the game ya gotta
to be able to hear them!
I'm pretty satified with the episode overall. As always it took longer than I hoped it would.
I had quite a few events with family, pets and myself in the last few months.

I'm pretty satisfied with the episode overall. As always it took longer than I hoped it would. The final debug process took over a week with all the possible interactions with the girls in the game. Hopefully I got them all...
