You need to set the date on your device to be right around Halloween (maybe do exactly Oct 31). It should then be available. After playing through that, just set the date back to today and you can resume things as normal. Or, you can wait 2½ months instead if you want.
I got the Halloween event. I can't seem to get the Christmas event. I set it to around dec 24, but nothing happens.

Sorry my english is not really good. What Esha and Naomi imply in this dialogue? I'm as clueless as Lyriel here. What kind of trade at port what that has anything to do with the clothes they wear? Don't get it

Prostitution was very often found at ports where sailors — long starved for sex after having been out to sea for so long — could find someone with whom to relax, but for a price obviously. Naomi and Rae are, of course, teasing one another playfully (saying the clothing looks like what a "whore" would wear), but Lyriel isn't familiar with ports or the culture / activities of them. So she has no idea what they mean, nor that they are just joking around with each other.

Oohh thanks for the info!

Also after last Rae update, my hopes growed a lot about we can get happy ending with Rae. She will live with mc on earth and she will be a normal human so she can grow old with mc happily live after with him. Ofc there can be some drama and bumps on the road but mc and rae can achieve it together. That would be amazing. She is my favourite girl with Lyriel. While it's really clear that we can get a happy end with Rae and game going in that direction thankfully. But I do wonder if we can get a happy end with Lyriel as well? She also deserves one imo. She is clearly in love with mc and it's really sweet love. She also don't want to seperate with mc and the dialogue showed that multiple times. The harem ending would be a really great ending as well but so far I don't see progression over that

Add Lyriel and Cait to that ending and I'm happy.

But yeah, that's a bit of the problem, innit? You can have six individual endings and a full blown harem, that's seven endings, quite a few but not over the top, and can certainly be done. Any combination however - that's 64 different endings. Wouldn't keep my hopes up for that.

It's not all that difficult to do if you're smart about it. Every single combination doesn't need to be unique, after all. Chunk up the ending and make it modular and it shouldn't be a huge problem. For example, intro telling how the MC and the girls that stayed live together, with a layered image showing the group. Then a montage of small scenes showing MC with Rae, MC with Lyriel, etc. filtering out girls who didn't stay. Add some scenes with two of the girls who had a particularly strong relationship with each other into the mix. Then cap it off with another group shot. There's your ending. It's work, sure but not 64 times as much work.

Does anyone know how to trigger Halloween and Christmas??
Set your computer's time for the appropriate time of the year.

That's assuming the Girls and the MC remain in the house. It could very well end with the MC returning to his world or joining one of the girls in their world. So it might not be the 64 potential endings, but it's possible it could far more work than layering images for a slide show.

No, I'm not assuming that. I'm assuming that each of the 64 potential combinations of girls wouldn't need to be in a completely different location, which I think is a reasonable assumption. A potential harem ending could be remaining in the house (which is my preferred ending, it's true) but it could also be back on Earth, or it could be in Dun Eideann, or anywhere else for that matter.

That certainly is true. Not least because quite a few games (not only adult ones) have done such an approach. But, and this might be a personal preference only, I tend to notice that if I am playing for multiple endings, and find it a bit grating if too much is in parallel. Of course this is a RenPy game, so we can always skip the part we had already seen, but the endings will lack that individual touch that I'd like, since a lot would need to be generic.

Granted, people who will only want their one perfect ending with, say, Rae, El, and Yona won't notice that it shares 80% of its content with the Cait, El, and Naomi ending, with a further 15% being just some words and graphics exchanged, and presumably even of those going for different endings won't systematically try all 64 - or even 20. So if you combine individual endings for the six girls and one big happy harem and then make "modular builds" for 2, 3, 4, 5 girl endings would still be within the realms of feasibility. I just think the impact would be less for those which are just bonus, but indeed for somebody who wants something specific it may be worth it.

I read an interesting article discussing the " ", as a narrative mechanic, for a game.
A section of the article directly relates to the point you've made.

They propose that, in a game with multiple paths, the dev has to do X x the amount of work & it will mostly only be seen by the % of the player base who are following that specific path.
Which obviously creates a lot more work, for limited audience consumption.
If you have 10 unique paths & 10% of the playerbase is on each, that's 90% of the stuff the dev's written, not being seen by 90% of the players.

Even with hardcore fans, who are following each route on a separate save, they still generally amount to a relatively small % of the total player numbers.
It's much more efficient & cost-effective to have scenes shared by all paths.

Real choice & unique paths are exponentially complex.
Mass Effect 3 writer said this about it:
“Imagine that you have to write a scene where one potentially dead character talks to another potentially dead character about an event that might have happened, or might have not.”
