Well that's an unexpectedly fast update.
Woot!

Will add this to the queue tonight and see how it goes.

I like the game so far but as mentioned before its annoying if you get a choice (drink alcohol or water), but you get drunk with both choices. I don’t mind if the story only works if we get drunk but then please change the choices!
You could delete this choice complete or you let the player choose between "go full" od "try to control yourself". Then it would be understandable if the MC failed and drunk too much.

It wouldn’t be much work and maybe you could change it now instead of trying to make choices more meaningful in the future.

Pretty weak update tbh. It looks like all the choices lead to the same events, so we can't even say that it was a short but fat update. It was just really short with nothing much happening. Still following this though. It's pretty good for the most part.

How do we get the optional Julia side story or whatever? There wasn't any choice regarding her shopping event I think..?

So from what I'm reading, it appears that your choices no longer matter in this update because the Dev took the Funnel approach with "All roads lead to here".

Which doesn't work in a choice based game. Guess I'll either just delete this one or watch to see if it get better. Started out great. Good choice system, points reflected actions and outcomes. But if what I see is right, you threw that out and decided to just mandate drama that the player has no say in no matter their choices, and that's not cool.

If you shift gears mid way, it pisses people off. Same way as when a VN magically shifts into a Sandbox. You don't do it.
You really should rewrite this part so that the choices are reflected. If you can't do that, then I don't have much hope for the future of the story.

Thought I`d give this one a try as I love these college type VN`s. Found it a blast so far!
My MC is developing into a bit of player, showing interest in Riley, Penelope and the ex-Emily - thoughts of giving her payback with revenge fuck.
Didn`t bother me with Chloe as I don`t give a fuck about her, would have stayed with Amber at party if it had been possible.

I like how you can auto win the fights, cause I`m shite at these kind of mini games.
Moulding my dweeby little MC into a confident little Alpha male is fun but for fuck sake his looks? he looks like an effeminate little gimp. Goofy as fuck. Feels weird playing a chad type that looks like a mommy boy.

Great content to now, can`t wait for more.

For a "date sim" there is a hell of a lot of unavoidable stuff and railroading going on.

I told that guy 3 times I didn't want to go and had plans yet it happened anyway.

If you are going to make shit unavoidable then just do it, giving choices and ignoring them is irritating. Even more irritating is my MC ending up drunk when I wanted water, pointless choices.

I don't mind stuff happening if it's for story reasons what I mind is being given choices that mean absolutely nothing and either go nowhere or get ignored completely.

Usually date sims give you the choice of who you want to date, here it just seems to be Chloe and the side chicks.

Despite choices being there the main stuff is kinetic and happens regardless. It's a bit weird having a kinetic date sim. It's not a combination that does anything for me.

Anyone please help i got little confused how this game works. Should I stick with single path like boyfriend, bro ,troublemaker point or KCT or stick with single girl in order to all get scenes and paths , The walkthrough did not help me at all.

that update feels so short^^ - I like the characters and the mood, really enjoy the game so far.

and people: be fair, the game is still in it's early beginnings ;)

to be equally fair on the other end: agree on the "choices". they should have an impact like "yes, he does stay sober when I choose 'water', or he does get drunk else etc" - or just keep us 'on rails' and don't give us a choice in the first place.
having a choice, only for the game to ignore it, is kinda frustrating.


still eagerly awaiting how this game develops from here :)
Hey there,

Thank you for your feedback, I'll try to make sure I'll make choices more meaningful in the next update.

All the best,
Undergrad Steve

Hey there, thank you for your feedback.

I update the game every 2 weeks as I love to learn from the community feedback (such as the choices thing) I'm still new to VNs so it's a steep learning curve and updating often means a lot of feedback to improve the game.

As I'm not doing this full-time they can't be that long sadly.

In the last update Julia gives you a call and you can accept to go shopping with her.

All the best,
Undergrad Steve

It should show up by itself, when exactly in the game is this happening? Are you using the compressed version?

I keep getting crashes every so often and whenever I click on the phone. I am using the walkthrough mod so I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem?

The update was short and there were a lot of choices, but they only affect your personality/affinity, not the story itself yet. The game is still in its early stages. Try to reserve judgment for later on. The Dev. has stated that choices will matter, they just didn't affect the story during this update. I do like that there are a lot of choices to adjust your KC since I have a feeling it will matter a lot later, perhaps in your school reputation, which girls will like you, and who knows where else.

No compressed version, it's the very moment the text goes off when the Imre guy is staring at me. The phone icon isn't showing in the top right of the screen.
