This is giving me major College Daze vibes and I'm loving it can't wait for the future of the game

I think I would've preferred if it was sandbox and if we could do every quest without branching, lowkey a waste to have so much content but not being able to play all of them in one playthrough
That is why I want someone to make a time travel mod for this game like the one that was made for college daze and for power of will. A mod like that lets you see everything or at least almost everything in 1 play through
you can use college daze mod , you just have to rename the html to college daze then apply the mod.
You mean, i need to rename the html file of this game to college daze the mod would work with it?
So some thoughts.
1. Despite branching paths, the game FEELS rather linear. In that each decision goes in a direction that's disconnected from the rest of the world. I HATE having to make this comparison because I've been on the receiving end with my own game but the "other game" that this one holds some similarities to often gives a text blurb that hints at something happening off screen. When you go back and choose a different route, you see what that was. Most of the routes of this game feel like they're divorced from each other and as consequence, feel like different stories than a living world.
2. For being so early in development there are A LOT of characters being thrown at the player at a rapid pace. Like I barely know this girl's name before I either stick my dick in her or she leaves the scene entirely never to be seen again because I likely didn't go on the route that had her content.
This feels somewhat egregious because there's a character directory that basically tells you their entire life story and the only one in the playthroughs I've experimented with that gets any real chance to show off is the best friend character. Like there's plenty of exposure with her(pun intended) that reveals the personality of her bio and conversations about your history.
While the characters sound interesting based off the detailed backgrounds in the "lore book", I have to bring up the age old rule of "show don't tell."
3. I think some work with the incest mechanic should be done. There are several instances of characters inconsistently referring to each other on a first name basis or calling them by their familial role. Plenty of instances of the MC talking to his sister with phrases like "my father" with other scenes going "our dad" and one outright saying "the old man". This happens with every family member.
4. The images and videos could be placed in better positions. I click on an option and I'm brought to a page with multiple videos auto playing or several sexual images being located next to or above three paragraphs detailing how you're searching for a place to bone and undress and by the time I get to the written explanation of the sex the videos and images are off screen due to scrolling.
5. I love that every character has a dedicated actress. No criticism. I just think it shows that a dev has good critical thinking skills and creativity to find images and clips of the same actress rather than just pulling random gifs off vague searches.

I believe a direct source of inspiration for its writing/superhero worldbuilding is "Worm". It's a very good read, super long though
I tried what you said and it didn't work i can't set checkpoints or check the variables of the choices like in the modded college daze.
There ist a bug in the 0.4 release. $methailey isnt set to true after meeting her. It should be added "<<set $metHailey to true>>\" after line 4771

Yeah its quite a daze how similar this feels.
But i do like these kind of games and so I wish all the best for the dev - there is still a substantial gap to the other college, but keep on working. Its not a bad start.

I had an issued with the videos in ver 5. When they pop up they have a tendency to over lay the text. You can not move them or kill them so there is covered up text that you can not read. I tried closing the side bar screen to increase the margin in the main screen and even changed between Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge browsers with not luck. Note Ver 4 did not have this issue.
