NOTE: After some discussion with ScarletGames, they've confirmed that some of these concerns will be irrelevant in the natural course of the story's progression, which is to say that an Olive Garden patch will not be sustainable in the future. Likewise, the manner in which the MC address Ms. Futaba is an intentional story element. We don't quite seem to see eye-to-eye on character age vs school placement, but it seems I am simply the unfortunate owner of a brain that is far too pedantic to ignore something that is intended to be ignored. LOL! Personally, I don't get it, but as long as it is what the author intends, then I shall abide. I will not be updating this patch in the future, and I do not recommend disseminating it elsewhere. I will, however, leave it here for the time being. Use with caution.
I've made an edit "patch" (overwrites existing files), because I had some frustration with a couple of things.
First, the name tags refer to Amelia Futaba as "Ms. Amelia." Where I'm from, only a young child would address an adult with "Ms." or "Mr." followed by their
first name. It's essentially a product of young kids not fully understanding formal addresses.
Second, I just don't enjoy "near incest." So, every time the MC refers to Amelia as "Ms. Futaba" it's a double hit for me: I wish she would just say Mom, and if even the characters say "Ms. Futaba" than why does the name tag say "Ms. Amelia?" It was distracting to me.
There was also a lot of confusion for me about how old these characters are supposed to be and what level of school they're in.
It sounded like the MC was talking about being a high school student for the first time herself, but also the younger sister just started high school. That, plus the MC says she's been suppressing her futa instincts for "10 years." Well, she's certainly not a ten year old, so she can't mean from birth. Presumably she means since hitting puberty, but if she just entered high school, she should only be around 12-14 years old. Did she hit puberty at like 3 years old?
I thought maybe the older kids are supposed to be starting college while the younger sister is starting high school, but it also sounds like they're all in the same school. Like I said, I found it very confusing.
Ultimately, I made the following changes to the main script file and Day1, 2, and 3 script files:
1. Amelia Futaba's name tag now just says "Amelia" likewise with "Anastasia"
2. The MC states that she and Ollie are starting their Senior Year in high school (if she hit puberty at 8, this fits with other dialogue)
3. The age difference between Ollie and the MC is now described as "not even a full year" instead of "only a few months"
4. References to the MC being adopted/fostered have been changed to more ambiguous dialogue (one could still believe that either she is their biological family or adopted, depending on how you choose to interpret what is being said.)
5. The MC calls Amelia "Mom" instead of "Ms. Futaba" (this is not strange where I'm from, even in the case of foster/adoption)
6. There is a character whose name tag says "???" (code for dialogue is "unk"), I've changed this person to address Amelia as "Amelia" instead of "Ms. Futaba." They seem close, and it felt weird.

EDIT: I added a README file to the patch files which includes some additional notes and clarifies that it is unofficial and not endorsed by ScarletGames.
If ScarletGames would like me to take down the patch, I will do so. In the meantime, I will try to contact them to ask if they want it taken down.
