I recommend going all out for a single girl and maxing out her relationship points during a playthrough. I do not recommend balancing the relationship points, as not only will you lose out on certain events and scenes but by balancing the points you will also not be rewarded in any way. This may change in upcoming updates as there will be harem implemented but for now at least don't try to balance the love points, focus on a single girl during your playthrough.

And yeah, this game is a little unforgiving in it's relationship points aspect. You can miss out on a lot important things if your love points are just a little bit short. For example:- Jenny's date event comes to mind. For being able to date Jenny you need to have 12 or more love points with her. But the max number of love points you can achieve at that point of time is only 13. So if you are only 2 points short you will miss out Jenny's date altogether. This is what happened to me when I was doing my Jenny playthrough, I had 10 or 11 points and so I missed out on Jenny's date entirely and as I didn't want to rely on a walkthrough I replayed Jenny's route for like more than 10 times, but ultimately decided to read the walkthrough and that's how I finally got to date Jenny.

I know that the relationship points aspect can be a little unforgiving but I'm willing to look past it as the game offers fleshed out characters, great music and awesome character models for the girls(the girls in this game look really good, some of the best looking models I have ever seen in a game).

And lastly, if you don't like to depend on a walkthrough then first complete the game fully on all the girls route and then if you feel like you missed something you can then rely on a walkthrough. That's what I did, I completed the game for all the girls and then tried to find out what I missed by referring to the walkthrough.

Thanks! I will do that. I'm gonna play it just focusing on Jane and then I will have another save to play for Ashley and another for Rebecca mainly. I'm not the biggest fan of harem but I'm sooo used to having the chance of developing a relationship with multiple girls and then at some point decide which one I really want to date that I was playing like that from the beginning.

As you said the game looks great and so does the plot, it is not a mood killer having to chose between girls, usually it brings realism to the game, like in BaDIK. It is just that instead of clearly seeing "ok I have my route closed with this character" you just miss scenes and usually the games warns you about it, and instead I needed to guess it.

Like I said it's not a problem, the game treats you more like and experienced player so to speak. So far I'm loving it and I assume I'm gonna enjoy it the more I play. Thank you very much for your advice!

Am I the only one, who thinks it's weird how people in this game use name affixes "Mr.&Ms." with surnames?
If your name is John Smith, the formal address should be "Mr. Smith", not "Mr. John". That would be absurd.

Maybe it's a cultural thing...

Ya I chalk it up to the writer maybe not having English be their first language. As an example, the latest chapter has a section where they constantly refer, in dialogue, to a character named Jessica, as simply 'White'. Her last name is White. But they have people calling her 'White' and not Jessica which doesn't make a lick of sense. Or how they call the teachers at the school 'Ms Elizabeth' or 'Ms Heather'...no one does that that I have ever seen at the college level here in the U.S. - it would be Ms. or Mrs. followed by the last name.

That's probably my biggest complaint with this game is the dialogue where they use incorrect terminology, incorrect grammar and spelling so frequently that it actually impacts immersion as I constantly have to adjust the sentences in my head so that they make proper sense within the context of the game.

And the weirdest thing is when the developer comes here on the forums and puts up lengthy posts - they're almost always very well-worded, so it makes me wonder if he has someone else writing the dialogue to the game for him. I've even offered to help proof read the stuff if need be - and I know other people here would help, too, because it's a common complaint for people.

LOL, I so do love it when people from a country who can not even spell mum properly criticizes spelling and grammar.
Pick up a dictionary from England where English comes from and show me, mom, armor color.

Or people nitpicking, but sure as hell don't offer to help the dev.

Ya I know I'm not the only one who has made offers to help in the past with any proofreading or adjusting sentences grammatically to make sense. People from different cultures / parts of the world aren't going to understand how we speak here which is totally understandable, so it makes sense to maybe lean on some other folks who are familiar with how language is spoken in this part of the world.

First off. Whatever the "correct" version of a language is - that's not decided by a dictionary but by the users as a whole.
If enough people decide that something is false or correct - that's that. Grammar rules are observations about the language in development. Rule books and Dictionaries are secondary to the literal "word on the street". They are not like the word of god etched on stone tablets brought down from the mountain by Moses. Which is proven by the fact that they have to be updated every now and then to reflect the recent changes. Language is an organic, evolving thing made by people. It's not something that exists independently of people.

Secondly. I think it's insane how people invest so much of their identity in games (porn games, at that!) that they feel like any criticism is an attack on them, personally. Just chill out, man. This is not about you, it doesn't concern you and unless you have a counter-argument to my "nitpick", you can just keep your fingers off the keyboard, because you have nothing of value to contribute here.

Finally, any creative person knows that criticism ("nitpicking") is in and of itself helpful - provided that makes a valid point. What's not helpful are stans who will aggressively attack anyone who - in their mind - dares to insult their favorite product.
It's thanks to behavior like that, that so many spaces on the web feel less like a community where people can exchange ideas freely and more like a cult, with witch hunts and blind adoration for their "leaders" (developers, in this case).

Proof reading should always be done.

I was quite surprise when I read, what I would call an " English foul". This one drives me insane, the phrase in question was used a few times, " I can borrow you the money". You can't "borrow" someone money. You can lend money to someone and that person borrows the money from you, "the lender".

I understand and generally agree, but life is not always as simple as you make out... colloquialisms exist, and as the other user [SinnedBad] wrote, "language is organic..."

If you travel about enough, you'll stumble across areas and peoples that seemingly misuse grammar, according to the perceived rules, but to them it is their natural and accepted way of expression. You can't "borrow" someone money... if you happen to ever travel to parts of northern England, you may end up being surprised.

I'm from England so I feel confident to respond to your [yet another] rant... you are so wrong on everything you write. English was not invented but evolved as a language over centuries, and continues to do so today. "English comes from" so many outside influences such as latin and French, but also Old English (which is so distant from our current English it underlines what I am trying to explain) and other Germanic and Nordic languages. That our English-speaking friends in Northern America have decided upon "mom" as their accepted abbreviation of mother instead of our British variant "mum" is simply flavour <smiles>.

Remember, most authors and users on this site will not be from the UK, so tolerence not only promotes a better and more healthy community for us all, but will also help you to become a more rounded and happy person.

Having said all that, I must admit that I still cringe when I hear the North Americans pronounce aluminium... but hey, it's no biggie.
