When i first started playing i think it was just before the christmas event officially launched .
I was captivated , the soundtrack was beautiful and the girls were absolutely stunning , i eagerly awaited every release.
Don't mind my short rant ,
After completing a few playthroughs of chapter 4 i must admit i am rather tired with all the drama unfolding , with the calming yet with that tinge of bittersweetness during the initial chapters together with the vibrance when MC first arrives at the academy , i genuinely thought it was going to be one hell of a "slice of life / school life " story with romance as the primary focus with added element of drama and tragic backstories that was heavily hinted earlier on, fast forward to chapter 4 and i feel like i'm playing a game with a crime and mafia/gangster/syndicate wtv you want to call it as the main setting.
Sure, I am open to all genres and backdrops but this was definitely not what attracted me to A.O.A in the first place. It was drama and tension unfolding over and over with no rest in between , with that drama being the glue that bonds the characters together? MC has been at the academy for like what 4 days in total?
Dialogue options gives you the story so far , of your actions and why you are a central figure in the schemes unfolding but yet with the pacing , all you have to do is take a step back and realise MC's actions to "help" is like a dancing marionette just following the increasingly sped up pace of the unfolding and ceaseless drama . You can't back out because of choice and you are there to offer all your support because of circumstance and the lack of relationship building with the characters just makes all MC's actions less than genuine ( basically lacking immersion , and rather ridiculous from another POV)
Romance progression with LI's are squeezed into the rest portions in between the drama arcs(back at the bedroom , hotel , dorms etc) which immediately shifts to further enhancement of the drama and shit hitting the fan .
End of rant.
Well other than that i still have great love for the game (blame my captivation with the female characters and sountrack) but sure as hell i would love a change of pace or a slowdown just to actually focus on well.. being a college student?

I am having trouble entering into Chapter 4 content... everytime i reach the scene where valery went alone outside the game just exit and goes back to the main screen, and scrappy's mod didnt fix it for me either. Does anyone else has this problem and know how to fix it?

Hope the cheating leads to a catfight with fatal consequences. Wonder how the sparks fly when you cheat on two of the heroines but have high asf romance points with both.

A question.
I am currently playing without any mod because I simply cannot get my old saves to work and the walkthrough mod doesn't work for me.
I am currently in the process of reconstructing my paths using your pdf walkthrough.
I am now at the beginning of ch3, if I install this hotfix, will my savegames continue to work or do I have to start all over again?

Existing saves should be compatible with the hotfix, no need to start over.

Its not possilbe to have Aurora path if you're on Rebecca/Ashley or Sung Ji, Vicky, Eliz path?
Great game but the drama is just too much to bear right now. If it was just about romance that's one thing but in here it includes something that will genuinely affect their lives. Maybe I'll wait for a couple of updates before going back to play or until some major plot points are resolved.
Keep it up devs!

Not just chapter 1, there is typo everywhere.
How long do I have to wait before I find out what happened to Rebecca "THAT EVENT" have been mentioned 4 different times it honestly can't be that bad. unless its going to be a Whole chapter like Val's was.

Usually (and by that I mean this the first time) I don't complain about mishaps in the language/script; I understand English isn't everyone's first language (yours truly included) and even fluent speakers/linguists dun goof every now and then. But this... boy, is this a hot mess. Grammar, syntax, punctuation, tenses, identity crisis (with wrong names popping up) and so on; it hurts bro. It really hurts. Feel my brain cells burning and being sent to oblivion's embrace.
Maybe I'm making too much of a deal out of this, but I've seen similar comments and reviews. It wouldn't matter that much methinks if story didn't play as big of a part as it is doing apparently (which I really like) but, as structured, it's extremely hard to ignore, if even possible. I can volunteer to do proofreading if need be, I got time, lol. With those beautiful, stunningly amazing visuals, talk about making the hard things easy and vice versa.
Anyways, this is my only moot point. Loving this one. Sorry for Trump's Great Wall of txt
P.S. The girls are all so precious...

You can't have her on an Elizabeth path, But I think you can on most other paths.
