I don't get it, I just played the greenhouse minigame and it took about 20 seconds. No bug, no illogicality. After all, these are simple numbers.
Damn guys, can you even find your peepee or will you give up after you can't figure out how a zipper works?

Yeah man it's like 9 pages of people asking the same question about a minigame, which every person with an IQ above 50 could figure out by trial & error within 5 minutes.

You can even literally "savescum" the game when you find the first correct connection in the fusebox!

This is proof that humanity is doomed, social media have killed the most basic cognitive functions in the majority of people.

forget this mini-game, whatever. but I guess I'm kind of doomed too because I clicked on every pixel in Larissa's backyard and couldn't find my way out. okay, maybe the old save will work? no. maybe window mode will work? no. reboot? no.

well, I'll wait for some anon to post a save after the pavilion minigame. or a bugfix. too bad, I've been waiting so long for an update. really unique game. by the way, I just now noticed the cool song in the intro.

I mean if everyone is complaining about something it's maybe that there are issues with it.

The issue with this minigame is lack of feedback, not that it's particularily complex.

Not "everyone" is complaining and that's the big point, it's just a minority of players and that makes the difference.

It's not my first "release", and from the past I know how my Email inbox looked like if something is really "bugged" or not "solveable" ..

so if I just go with the numbers:
from round about 20k downloads overall since yesterday until now, a handful people complain.
(i am guessing it roughly here due to my game website interactions, it's most likely way higher)

Of course not everyone reports, but as I said I know how it could be from earlier releases.
And interesting enough I got a lot of Emails regarding the tablet/email problem, which was mentioned here only once so far.
And additional to that the players which got trapped in the pav-minigame never complained about the "Tablet-problem",
which is "a lot smaller" and "a lot harder to see" and which had no visual feedback or sound too.

..so, I assume then, that most of the complaining players are just "oh no a minigame" and "I don't want to think about it"
and "I just blame it for being bad designed" .. and "of course it's bugged anyway!"

Has anybody found any of the new collectible pictures? I've been looking around every screen and haven't been able to find any...

Eh after looking at the 1 step in the yt video I removed that comment because I only partially agreed with what I said and a nuanced take is more complex especially without tone :)

I still feel there could be more feedback for that specific minigame but it's not as egregious as I thought before having seen what success looked like.

I'd also point that I and most likely other here have played enough of badly implement/bugged minigames to tune out very quickly instead of pushing through so that plays a role in the reactions I think.

Aye sad to say I'm finding it impossible to leave Larissa's backyard after the pavilion minigame. No options to exit on either side of the house. It had the same problem when I went into the backyard rather than ring the doorbell before being invited to build the pavilion. Also when offered to wait for Larissa or go on ahead the option to leave the backyard does not appear.

Ok thanks. For some reason I thought I had them all on my save but looks like I didn't.

check the picture album, if you have every possible picture you should have no "locked" previews in it, besides floria, because they aren't still implemented

you can leave when you click this area View attachment 4336221

Man, why is it not working for me, have clicked all over the map and that marked area you are pointing to a thousand times. Still no way out, this really sucks as I am really enjoying the game and the dev is doing a really good job. I guess this is a bug as I am unable to ever exit her backyard since the beginning of the game.

Feel yo man, stuck at the same problem and I really think this is some sort of bug. Hope the dev looks into it.
