some more feedback :
- Energy management would be easier if Max would be allowed to nap for 1 hour, too.
An option to nap between 00:00 and 2am or 3am (Kira events) would help to save energy and not miss events on next morning.
(Combine nap with alarm clock to wake up in time.)
A tip, take a nap around 11:00 or in the afternoon, because it's not worth wasting your time blackmailing Alice at 13:00 so take at least 3 hours of nap or more if you want to avoid giving Alice massages. Probably you won't see Max "tired"; You can also use the alarm clock and always wake up at 06:00 or 07:00 and use this nap method.
I personally believe its impossible to control Eric's influence without a mod. Max literally has to make 2 points to every 1 of his. And..... impossibly Eric gains this with breath taking speed. Other than that I like it, but it's feeling like a very small piece of a larger game. Almost all the focus is on Eric in the house, when there is a whole world out with other antagonist Max can explore.
The game needs to have an information tab about these types of features. How much influence Eric has each girl per day and how much influence you can reduce. I remember that in the original game, you were able to reduce the influence in several ways, with Ann you had to buy cosmetics, clean the pool, order purchases groceries, do yoga and buy pills. Asking for money and letting Eric fuck Ann increased to the influence. With Alice, to lessen the influence you had to give her money, give her massages, wash the dishes, kill the spider and maybe I think to have sex with her. Eric's influence increased when he appeared in her room (as he always bought her an item of clothing). Lisa, it was different and the same thing, it turns out that the influence was only increased if you allowed it. Telling her to go to the lounge and see Eric fucking Ann, Lisa going to Ann's room with Eric and Ann together, increased the influence, the rest, to decrease the influence was just washing the dishes, doing their homework..
I don't know what the enemy's path is in this game, but in the original bb it was pretty easy to decrease Eric's influence, I played in the friendship path and saw that Eric's influence under Alice increased a lot, I don't know if that's good or bad, but the story is slowly developing and we don't know what it was like it will be kicked in both paths or if there will be extension in the path of friendship.
