I'm surprised no one made an in-game walkthrough mod for this yet.
This is a nice game, timewizardstudios.
But excuse me, it seems that you have a lot of creativity and a nicely designed interface.
How about porting this game to something more modern - something that's not basically 10 years old, is not unsafe on a modern computer, and runs (many times) faster? Renpy = Python 2.7 and a shit old version of Pygame. It's simply extinct. Also, the dev doesn't really want to work with it anymore and thus, updates are far apart. He is trying to port it to py3 but that takes a lot of work and many of the libraries used in Renpy aren't even made for Python 3. Meaning there's a good chance it will never be released.
IF it does, the renpy/lib folders will be much larger. It simply is a shitty engine.
Not least because the dev didn't even consider to let people download a generic interpreter. That way, only non standard libraries need to be included in the game package. Using a path environment variable for the renpy interpreter would then make it possible for every game to copy the libraries to the runtime shared system. This game would then be only about 100 MB instead of over 300.
Also, your game? Well, the Renpy interpreter and it's libraries take up more than the actual game (134 MB renpy vs 110 MB game). A base VN engine (naninovel) "hello world" test, made in Unity and compiled, is about 60 MB. Meaning this game would suddenly be about 70-80 MB smaller (not mentioning intelligent image compression which is standard in Unity).

Wow, this is a first. There's a lot of "Why didn't you write this Unity game in RenPy" screeds on this site but I've hardly ever seen the reverse.
There's good arguments for choosing one engine or the other, but the things you're saying here are pretty pointless.
100MB in the modern day is small potatoes. Most games with 3d art end up having gigs of assets.
Python 2.7 is old but will be continue to be in use for the rest of all our lifetimes. The Python 3.x RenPy transition will definitely happen someday, though it doesn't really matter if people adopt it or not.

It's almost certainly the most popular engine for games on this site.

So where are we now on the story? Given the latest update, it still feels like it's going nowhere with a 2 year old game, are we even halfway to having all the mysteries solved/unlocked? Gateways to various endings? These chapters and stories are standalone so far with not much connection, and it feels a bit dragged out in the narrative so far ngl
Any changes on 1.17? I already finished 1.16 but nothing added when I play 1.17.
Game will not let me do King of Sweets quest. Can not talk to teacher or it crashes and does not give me the ignore option to skip just rollback.

It was a blowjob dream. It is tied to stat perk love14. Maybe unlock_stat_perk("love14") unlock it, I don't have a save there.

A new quest for Maxine. I seemed to have a bug in which she doesn't appear below the bed when she's suppose to if you have another quest running that she participates in.

This game need to move up with the plot honestly. the game is 2 years old now but the main plot stay the same as at the start. all content we got was about the girls but MC never mention how it was different from his past life. I forgot MC was from future until I decide to write this post. the plot just don't move AT ALL. who massage him on the phone at the start ? still no clue.
Also some pussy fucking maybe ? the most we got was MC fucked the art teacher ass. that is it. the only fucking in the game. I thought MC 'd get to fuck home room teacher in the first few update judging by how slutty she is but nope. there are many scene that could end with MC smash some cat but its just end and I blurted out " blue balls again "?
About incest patch. why not let players choose their roles like many other game ? is it that hard to implement to this game ? I don't mind the game don't have incest in it but in this game everyone see them as a family ( also they are family before petreon BS too )

Just out of curiosity as I couldn't grasp it from the dev notes or gallery, but this game has the tag "female domination", so to what extent does that apply? Is one or several of the girls dominant in general? Is there at least a dedicated path or any erotic femdom content? I didn't see any tags for typical femdom fetishes (like feet, cunnilingus, humiliation etc), so I somewhat suspect that the femdom content is either very mild or just a planned future tag, but I'd appreciate it if someone who has already played the game shares what they know in this regard!
