Here's the save. I might as well tell you that, even though i brought Rita to Norah instead, she tried to set the events with José into motion. Her not showing up at christmas happens regardless whether i accept her proposal to invite José or not.

Devlog: High School Lessons (Erika's Path)
Greetings fellow doctors!
Today I'm going to tell you about update 0.0.25, which will feature Erika and her personal storyline. As for Claudia's path in 0.0.24 patch Erika will have plenty of situations to play with. While some will be similar to Claudia's (the "Physician, Heal Thyself" chapter for example), other will be playable only if you choose her path in the game.
One of Erika's-only chapters is titled "High School Lessons" and will feature a visit to a school by both our favourite Nurse and Dr. Jones to teach young students about the risk of sexually-transmitted diseases.
During this chapter you will return to a school after many years and you'll be either excited or scared by the people who attend your lesson. The students' questions can be sometimes embarrassing, especially in front of your co-worker, but they can also teach yourself something about the sexual preferences of young people nowadays.
Of course our Casanova Doctor will also face some important choices that could have consequences in his relationship with Erika. A student (female or male, depending on your sexuality) could even ask the Doctor some "private lessons" after everybody's gone.
Some of you might recognize the "High School" situation as something already hinted in the game in the form of "Secondary objective/quest". This was the initial intention, however as game's development progressed I recognized that side-quests were useless to the overall gameplay. A "side-quest" should be, for its very nature, something that can be skipped without consequences and without losing something important for the story.
Since this chapter became quite important for the game, as well as Father Torque's request in a future update, it was pointless for players to skip it and most people would have played it regardless.
For this very reason I decided to remove side-quests from the game and to have their stories added as normal chapters, so that everybody could play them in their stories.
"High School Lessons" is a chapter playable in Erika's path, but you won't have to have her as your girlfriend to unlock it.
More infos about Erika's path and 0.0.25 will be released very soon, so stay tuned!
Thank you for your outstanding support of the game! You are making every update possible!
PS: updates about The Coroner Saga coming up as well in a few days! Stay tuned!!!!

As I am starting a new playthrough today, to check out the relative path, how is the current situation in regards to relationship. Can the MC have more than one lady as girlfriend or does choosing one close the other relationship paths.
Obviously I know that you can continue to pursue MCs relative, if you are in a relationship with Rita, as that's part of the story, but how is it with Kiko, Erika and the others?
Also, I've had a really successful Examination with Clara Porter, she talked about meeting in the park, but no matter how often i go there, she's not around.
Is there any value or something I need for that meeting to trigger.
I know I triggered it in the past several times, but this time, even going to the park for several days does nothing. TBH this does seem like a bug, as I've visited the park for at least 10 consecutive days, three times a day.
And is there an option to have sex with Monique Moran? She flirts a lot, but is there an actual follow up encounter?
Any help, any hint would be appreciated.

***SPOILER ALERT! This devlog might contain spoilers about the game's story so far***
One of the features implemented in General Practitioner in the latest updates (and in future ones as well) is the so-called "jealousy" feature.
As explained in other devlogs some characters like or dislike each other. As Dr. Jones lives in a very small town people tend to know each other quite well, and people have the habit to talk as well. And for a Casanova guy this usually means trouble.
Starting from Claudia in 0.0.24 and continuing with Erika in 0.0.25 it comes a point where your past actions will need to be faced in front of your romance partner. While General Practitioner is not a stats-based game, meaning you don't have to grind stats in order to progress the story, stats will play a role in determining if a relationship will continue or not.
HATING AND LOVING
Of course every character is different, so what bothers someone might not bother someone else. This is especially true in GP, because people will tend to trust each other and maybe distrust someone "just because".
Let's take Erika for example: she doesn't notice (or care) if you have a relationship with Claudia, Elisa or Christina, but she WILL confront you if you happen to have a relationship (even a past one) with Rita or Kiko (because she can't stand medical professionals having a flirt with patients) and she will also be disappointed if you had sex (or you were in a relationship) with her close friends Vanessa or Aaron.
Also, she can't stand bisexuality in her partners (you might agree or not, but that's her opinion and not every character has the same one) and she will be more pissed off if you had a relationship with Aaron more than if you did with Vanessa.
Of course past relationship "stack" together, so the bad effect on her will increase proportionally as the partners you had.
BREAKING UP
That means that every relationship with the above people will have you decrease her trust by a certain number of points (usually 10). You will also be asked some conversation choices that can increase or further decrease this value at some point.
That's where past deeds with your partner come into action. If you behaved in a certain way (in Erika's case for example: have you blackmailed her into sex at the gym?) during the course of the game she will remember those actions and decrease her trust even further.
If you behaved well and have a strong relationship you won't reach her "tolerance limit" and she will trust you enough to keep your relationship safe and sound.
Each character has a "trust tolerance level" below of which they will break up with you no matter what. Then again, since every character is different one might have a very high tolerance while other won't.
For example Claudia's trust level to stay with you must be higher than 60, while Erika's must be higher than 40 and Aaron must be higher than 70.
This has been done to "simulate" real relationships, because different people tend to be harder or easier to be with and your own deeds might mean more or less to them.
Still, the relationship system has been built not to be too much hard on players. The game won't feature a gameover and the story will unwrap with different endings for each romance.
I recommend you NOT to look for a "perfect ending" but to enjoy the game trying to take into the shoes of Dr. Jones, making choices as you would in his situation.
A player recently told me that conversations with Claudia are very natural and resemble real life ones. That's a very nice feedback which also means people do get pissed off or are entertained by the characters of the game, so play with them and treat them as you feel you should, without worrying about a "perfect score" which not only doesn't exists, but that you can pursue in a new run!
Thanks for following the game, I hope to hear your impressions very soon!
Be safe and healthy,

I have also never met Clara in the park (her rating was 'full'). Same version (0.0.24_001-pc), but with Claudia fix you posted here.
Is the game updated on steam? because when i see the game news nothing appears about 24.0001, it only say about the game changes but no mentions of the game version.

0.0.24 will be published on Steam in a few hours. Steam releases roughly happen a month after 10$+ patrons.

Is the patch already applied to it? I cant find any .rar in the game folder like the installation section refers to
In the menu I click on the X in the top right corner like every time i try to close the menu. I would change it to close the menu (and go to the game again) instead of asking if I want to quite the game. (just my perspective, it's very anoying for me, just started though 
)
)all the cars you can buy counts as "new beetle"
also, when you relax at home in the evening (3rd day) and select "watch porn - incest", the game first adds you the sexperience 3 times and then pops up messages about how you like that your sister is right next to you, enjoying the porn and that your relation with her has increased. (she didnt even showed up yet in the game)
edit: the game also thinks that your sister is there with you when you try to play videogames. (something about fatching snack for him)

Hi. Those issues have been already fixed in patch #5 which was posted on Steam and Itch.io yesterday.

As I don't provide the link to leaked releases you should contact the original uploader to learn which version of the game is. I'm afraid I can't help you with this.
This was a request made by a lot of people that, instead of closing the game, the "X" should bring the player back to the game. After many (believe me when I use the term) requests I decided to do thatIn the menu I click on the X in the top right corner like every time i try to close the menu. I would change it to close the menu (and go to the game again) instead of asking if I want to quite the game. (just my perspective, it's very anoying for me, just started though
Right, sorry I didnt made myself clear. The whole message WAS suppose to be a feedback, not a criticism or complainingHi. Those issues have been already fixed in patch #5 which was posted on Steam and Itch.io yesterday.

Was not being able to see sex scenes with Elsa a bug ? or the way the game was meant to be played ? back in version 16 I want to say taking her on any date ended with a sex scene at the MC's apartment... as of v21 its just text saying "you gave Elsa an orgasm, and she enjoyed sex" over a black screen... n more sexy images with Elsa...
As for Erica, is it only possible to have sex with her during the dinner at home date ? Every other one ends with them parting ways...
For Claudia I still have my save file from version.21 where the MC has to make a choice of either letting her go back to her husband, or guilt tripping her to stay, or being mad... I take it if I pick what the WT claims (letting her go back to hubby) she still sticks around and after the new year becomes the GF ? That event triggered for me in late October.
