Hi kifflomx, not right now. I'll explore ways of configuring it
- Thread starter tebon
- Start date
Sorry dude, the UI is terrible, neither quite one thing or the other and seems to use the worst of both styles.
for those who will play:
your main thing is Planning at the top. It says who will be next in X days. If you click Focus on the girl and hit Next for the mentioned one, you will get 1 prep. When you have 5 preps, you can click Explore in Modifiers to explore many girls stats at once. After that, fastest way to reset willpower is Go Out and Take a rest.
To unlock scenes, you need to unlock tiles first using Explore > Next > Action for each girl and each stat. Some tiles will be colored and will block expanding of the map, so you need to wipe them in Modifiers. You can also do that with Manipulate in planning phase, but it's much longer with existing mini game. After wiping obstacles with modifiers, there will be yellow tiles on the map - these are manipulations which you need to clean up by clicking Actions for the girl in Planning, selecting action > Close Actions > Next. I suggest to select all plus modifiers in Modifiers and just die in mini game to open up manipulated tiles because mini game is in state where no one should play it.
If you will be put in jail, hit space to shoot, you need to hit 3 yellow lines with a single bullet.
When girls have suspicion, don't modify their map by Modifiers, instead clean manipulated tiles until stat will rise back (check which stat has many yellow tiles; if you will raise suspicion over the top, girl will leave from the game).
Also when girls have red square instead of blue in the center of their stat map and if this is affecting their stats (i think there's only 1 stat that matters for this, it makes other stats 0), turn off plus Modifiers and go plant a bomb on that tile in mini game. You need to collect a bomb (can use modifier for easier find) and use space bar on 4 red squares to make them blue.
If game freezes, use Z on your keyboard to close the game. I would advice against relaunching after that because mini game and freezing dialogues just ruin everything.

The preparations are always stuck at 2 red(-10% afect) and the yellow marks never disappear.

Okay, these are the controls explained in detail.
-- Willpower: This is the number of actions you can perform. To reset it, simply go to the Go Out tab > Take a Rest.
-- Prep (I'm not sure if this is important): This is a poorly labeled statistic used to view the girls' minigame design (it shows 100% of the design once; you'll have to reload the prep if you want to see a different or the same design again). To load it, you have to summon the girls in the order shown in the upper left corner three times during the Planning Phase. (Taking a Rest resets this statistic.) It has four phases: -10% (default), -5%, 5%, and 10% (maximum).
-- Planning Phase: This is the tool used to summon the girls. Each girl has four stats: Trust, Desire, Vulnerability, and Dependence. You must explore each one and then manipulate them to progress in the game.
- Explore: You need to press "Focus" on the stats of the person you choose, then press "Next." She will ring the doorbell, then press "Action" (you don't need to wait for her to ring the doorbell). You will have a conversation with her. To continue, press the indicated buttons. A cutscene of her walking will play, and when it stops, press "Action" again. Another conversation will begin, and then the cutscene of her walking to the exit will repeat. When all this is over, go to the planning phase and check the view. You will now see blank squares in the design. Repeat this until the blank squares are blocked by squares of other colors.
-Maniputale: In the planning phase, select "explore" and it will change to "manipulate," then press "next." This will give you access to the minigame where you move with WASD, place a square with E (I have no idea what it's for), and if you collect a bomb, place it with Space (it explodes after 3 seconds). These bombs are used to destroy black squares. As you advance, yellow, brown, and red squares will appear. Brown or red circles will also appear that you shouldn't touch, or you'll be arrested.
...White squares: these are where you can walk freely, make sure you are here before the time runs out (30 sec) this changes with modifiers.
... Black squares: these appear as an exploration limit and will force you to manipulate them to destroy them with bombs, you can also destroy them without the minigame from modifiers (go down), keep in mind that you are at risk of being arrested.
... Brown squares: I don't know how they break in Maniputale, they can be broken in Modifiers.
... Red squares: I don't know how they break in Maniputale, they can be broken in Modifiers.
... Yellow squares: These appear when you break black, brown, and red squares. They also appear if you enter the minigame with the modifiers set to negative (-1, -2, -3, etc.). Press "Accept" to save the points. The more yellow squares there are, the more suspicious the girl will become. To remove them, you have to set the modifiers to positive (1, 2, 6 maximum) and use the modifier on the stat where you want to delete the squares. You don't have to do anything in the minigame; just don't get caught. When time runs out, you can check that some yellow squares have been deleted in the "View" section.
For now, that's all I know, and the rest seems intuitive.

Nice writeup! I'll add just a few details:
- To destroy brown/red squares you can go into the "actions" tab inside the planning phase for each girl. The actions will unlock as you advance their quadrants. Clicking on any available action to set it and then you'll go into the minigame again, but this time you'll destroy those walls. Also an animated scene will trigger for each action
- The last action in each quadrant doesn't destroy walls, but lets you "erase" previous manipulations. Placing a bomb in a yellow cell will turn it white in this mode.
- The prep modifier is applied as exploring rate and movement speed in the minigame (+/- 5, 10%)
- You can also trade it as currency for automatically exploring, enabling silver tongue (destroying walls without manipulating) and to temporarily uncovering an entire quadrant (in planning mode, the "normal" button)
idk how to start game, i clicked new game, then i go thru the intro, now there is 5 buttons, normal, hard, girls, mechanics, going out. i clicked normal, then the game goes white screen, without any progress? it just says 30 fps and loading... at the top left?
There is an "animated" tag, yet no preview of it in .gif file...
Like the old time :
No Animated preview = Bad Animation.
