Is this game still a buggy mess with a ton of unfinished art?
More so than before, I’d say. I’ve checked the MomXSis content again since that was the biggest issue in the last version. I’ve noticed the following:
1) You need to have several afternoon session with Mom before it starts. Typically, this should happen automatically, but if you use the "start from the end of v.028" option as I do, you may be stuck. There’s also no hints to tell you this.
2) I
still got stuck at the exact same place as last time. The hint just told me to go to sleep several days in a row until I used the time travel option.
3) The hint system was useless since it just told me to check out the hallway despite no location in the house at any time triggering the next scene.
4) Neither the bathroom scene nor the breakfast scene triggered for me. As always, I think it’s more likely that there is a hidden requirement that I have not met rather than that I’m truly stuck. Since the hint system is no help I have no way to know.
My running theory is still that Geeseki’s programmer has run away some time in mid October and Geeseki still hopes that the programmer will return one day. That’s the last time the programmer’s development tracker was updated, at least, and all their work has been left to the side. Would also explain why the bug fixes are so terrible: Geeseki is no programmer and doesn’t really understand the code of his own game since someone else used to do that.
