All the stats update are given in the morning, so you can't use the new abilities until you sleep

I chose the athlete route, so survival isn't an issue at all. It appears charm and electronics/social seem to be untrainable? Am I missing something?
Honestly, without some dark and gritty stuff to play with at least as an option, most post apocalyptic games usually end up sucking ass.
Rape, slavery, cannibalism, betrayal. Trying to climb atop of some neo-tribe so you can have at least some semblance of power and control granted to you. That sort of thing.
So far it looks like a start of your average simp simulator placed in a select setting. Man trusts a girl on his first encounter. Girl doesn't try to rob the guy. Options to at ther very least assign her ass to do some work for you via the simple "strong rule" are non-existant. Sigh.
Aside from that, text base games like that live and die by how content rich their random encounter systems are. That at least gives you a sense of adventure and makes grinding less of a shitshow.

from what i see at the moment, food and random events are huge issue, i used back button when exploring, it happened that i had to click like 20 times on back until i got food...later on i tried just exploring and sleeping, after 28 explores i got 1 food and no other events (this was as class clown) gonna try with athlete but seems that event chance is way too low at the moment
Edit: i tried same thing with Athlete and yeah its impossible...2-3 days of explore you dont find anything. Sooner rather than later its game over unless youre using back button like a maniac to gather food.
Other than that, problem is lack of events from what i see. When i found apartment, it showed up as choice 2 times, once i found matress, second time i didnt go there and went explore, found park and after that never got apartment again.

I'm adding randon lewd events at this time, is easier to get food by fishing, but i'm implementing a hunt system as well more randon food events.
I played all three and kept losing until I realized I was playing with half a screen so I could watch a video at the same time.
First off do not rely on exploring for food. You will starve. You will starve as all three of them. As soon as you discover the river (which is the first or second explore) then go and build a fishing spear after that you're set as either the athlete OR if you're the class clown or nerd raise your stamina with the obstacle track (2-3 days straight of using it and sleeping) then you can fish more food than you waste in a day making it possible to either stockpile or raise stamina without a game over.
I think to make this a little more challenging (as it becomes heavily a snooze fest after this with some tits to wake you up in between)
1) Stamina and Agility should give a chance 0-max of getting a fish. So both will be an independent say 4 stam is a 0-0 roll for fish and 4 agi is also a 0-0 for fishing. then 5 stam would be 0-1 and 5 agi would be 0-1 meaning you could get bad rolls and get no fish or you could get amazing rolls and get tons of fish but it would always be a risk.
2) Mood should decrease with spear fishing, and should decrease more if either stat rolls a 0 meaning to fish you also take a risk if your mood is low.
3) Mood needs to be a hard game over possibly with bad end events. I got my mood to -10 with exploring and I was just fine which made me not even care about mood.
4) People staying with you need to also decrease food stores. Ideally you'd start with one person and suddenly your -1 food on top of your decay making early game management important for the class clown and the nerd.
5) Equipment should have a chance to break (showers, fishing spears) giving you a reason to use energy and time on crafting, repairing, or finding a replacement or potentially upgrading them. Shower should have a lower chance to break but still a chance. The system of having it and not having to worry about it makes the game less tense.

When u get to get a 2nd interaction with cloe there is a 3rd panel but i think that there is no vid linked. so nothing plays in that 3rd panel.

Basically, I will answer the points you raised, but there are also further thoughts involved, which is why I am not answering you, Polpota , directly.
Re 2)
As for morale, yes, it should go down when fishing. But if a masterful cast succeeds and the aforementioned tonnes of fish are caught, this would be a massive morale boost. Even more so if the reserves were scarce or one had not eaten for a day.
Re 3 & 4)
Yes, basically in favour.
The signs can be different. There is no voluntary sex with the girls(except forced, which is again a mood killer).
The girls can run away or they can kill you and keep using the shelter themselves. (Would it then perhaps be an option to continue playing with a new char? How would the girls ensure survival?)
If the mood is too low, will action points be cut? I know this makes it even more difficult to survive, but one has to overcome one's inner stinker first.
By the way, are the girls just sitting around twiddling their thumbs all day? Will there be work for them? Can you set up a daily schedule for your residents?
Re 5)
I think a condition cheque for usable items is good, but this should not apply to all items.
I have been renting for 30 years and have never needed a new shower. Sure, I've changed the shower head once and replaced the (functioning) hose so that it matches the colour better.
In 30 years, the only time I've had to replace a washing machine was when the heating element burnt out. But it was already 9 years old. Otherwise, a new one was only bought because of a move. My first two were even used ones that lasted a few years before they were exchanged for something newer. However, things like dimensions or load volume were more important.
The oldest spade in my garden came from my grandfather. With the original handle.
It's more likely that you'll lose a screwdriver.
I don't know how complex it is to programme this, but I would build in a hidden counter that deals with the care of tools or weapons, for example.
If you fire 100 rounds but don't clean your gun in camp, the chance of a jam increases. This does not mean that you need an action for weapon care every day, but at least after use or once a week if not used, you should already spend an action for care.

I'm already working on next update and i have considered everything that you all post last days, I'm rewrighting the intro, something a little more agressive, but much more realistic and adult. Also rewrighting the side characters encounter to be more meaningfull. Mood mechanics also implemented.
Seeing as how he moved quick for an update and is working quick on another I'm not concerned about a huge update.
Nothing wrong with releasing a proof of concept bare bones intro if they're doing steady releases to improve at the start.

There's not really much to see at the moment, but you unlock new scenes by playing for longer.
Talk to the girls every day, flirt, take a shower and there are random events.
Pay attention to the time of day, because you can only act with the girls at certain times.
