patience young grasshoppers! the game update just came out, give the guy a chance to hash out all the options and variables. in the meantime you could run through the game without the mod or play one of the other games available on this website while you wait. it will be done when its done. hang in there soldier!
And I'm working on the full WT mod, but I've noticed some variables in this release aren't defined, all starting with "day8". I've added them as needed. But it wil be at least until tomorrow some time before I can get it done.
To be fair, its easy to get fans when you basically just copy the story and dialogue from an already famous game (in this case My New Family by Killer7). This was a big concern for many people in the beginning and there was a bit of a legal battle at the time, and was still an issue a few updates ago when I played last. Hopefully this has been addressed. I do like the visuals used in this game, but was disappointed that the story/dialogue wasn't more original. Have been watching and will try again soon, hoping its better by now.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I installed it and started a new game and...a 19 year old MC falls in love with a woman who has 9, 8, and 2 year-old daughters. So, no, not what I was expecting.
EDIT: Ah, it's working correctly if you do "Read" mode in either path. It just doesn't work in "Game" mode.

Dear Dev,
This is a pleasant game! But a pesky red flag keeps popping up. Multiple times now the MC has suggested solving his harem problem by "just making the girls love each other!" This is a child's mentality. This is mashing puzzle pieces together whether they fit or not. Please, please, please be more creative than what every other harem dev does and just magically make all the girls bisexual and in love with each other. That is such a tired, overused, cheap technique I don't think anyone would disagree with me when I say at this point that trope's just about all played out.
Look, I get it. "If they fuck with each other, they can't be mad about each other fucking the MC! Happy Harem End, easy-peasy! Plus, lesbian action! Woohoo!" But think it through for half a second. Is the deeply special bond the MC is building with each of his girls more or less special if they all suddenly start sharing that same bond with everyone in the harem? That's rhetorical; rarity increases value, so the answer is LESS. In fact, their feelings come across rather disingenuous if they can haphazardly spread to everyone else. "But the MC is like that! Double standards!" Doesn't matter. The Player is the MC, they are exempt from such rules. Also, who cares? Players want to watch their MC be the harem king, not the lone male member of the Polyamorous Women's Club. If any one of these women start fucking each other when the MC is not around, the MC loses his position as harem king by default. He is no longer special, he's just "in the club". It cheapens EVERYTHING.
If you want to just sling in lesbian scenes, skip straight to orgies, and basically sacrifice story on the altar of porn... hey, to be fair, that's totally your prerogative. You wouldn't be the first, you wouldn't be the last. But that isn't the vibe you've built with this game so far. You've put in a ton of work to make each relationship feel special! The scenes thus far lean firmly towards being meaningful - the bonds the MC builds have weight. Why make us wait so long to smash otherwise? Why spend so much time making us get to know each of the women? So all I'm asking for here is that you commit to the bit. Don't wave the author wand and make your characters bi out of nowhere just so the sisters can suddenly be in love with each other, and their friends, and everyone they've ever met, all so you can hop, skip, and jump straight to a bullshit happy harem end. Convenience will not make your game better. There can still be threesomes, foursomes, orgies, whatever; but make them something the MC has to convince the girls to do. Make them something the girls ONLY agree to because they love their MC too damn much and want to make him happy. Make them agree to be in the harem because they can no longer live without the MC, not because they wanna hook up with all the other harem members. PLEASE.
That aside, thanks for the game! Keep up the good work! I hope it's clear this comment came from a place of rooting for the game, not shitting on it. Have a good one!

I agree, making all girls bi is just.. lazy writing..
they join the harem for MC not because "oh yes finally I can fuck all those girls, yes yes yes"....
I seriously hope that's not going to be the route this VN will go where all or most of the girls will become BI but who knows..
Loving it, except for one thing. Dream sequences are a cheap trick that breaks immersion in the storyline. Not enjoyable, would rather follow along with the slow burn of believable and organically developing plot. If we wanted immediate gratification, the web is full of instant porn.

I was wondering! I chose Game Mode and wasn’t sure exactly what the patch was supposed to do . Is it not working for Game Mode because of an error, or is it intentional for some reason?

i get where your coming from and agree that making all the others fall in love with each other is a bit outlandish. first just because the daughters dabble in incestuous feelings with their father doesn't necessarily mean they want to have relations with one or more of their sisters. if it comes to threesomes with one of the sisters and one of their friends that would seem like a more realistic scenario. i get where the dev is trying to go with this as well and its as you said... forcing others into a relationship via a 3rd party isn't gonna work! to solve this the dev may look into having the MC convince all the girls that he loves them all equally and is willing and able to share his love with each of them any time they may want of choose to partake of it. perhaps this may lead to threesome scenes where 2 or more sisters are involved in loving the MC but not necessarily loving each other. (kinda like a 1 on 1 but just happening with 2 or more of the sisters /daughters in the room at the same time)
that's just my thoughts / ideas on the situation. hopefully the dev will go down a road similar to this with his story but in the end its his story to write and while i pose constructive criticism, i still do enjoy the game/story!
