As far as I remember the engine switch was for versatility to make the game as good as possible. I don't know exactly if the engine is what's causing the crashes, though.
It was done immediately after Unity tried to change their license terms to increase their revenue share and introduce per-user installation fees, and before they rolled back the changes. That was quite a short window and I would be shocked if this dev flipped to a new engine in the middle of it coincidentally.

It's also unlikely to be the engine itself causing the issues but rather the porting of a partially complete project to a new engine. Just updating engine versions can often throw up some unexpected issues, switching to a different engine entirely is pure nightmare fuel.

If the crashes are linked to things like setting for anisotropic filtering of textures and such, then it's indeed issues with engine more than the game. Since these are things which are handled by the engine and not the game specifically. The reports generally sound like poor compatibility between display drivers of various devices with what the engine is trying to do.

Note, this doesn't necessarily mean that the engine is solely to blame. There may very well be game-specific issues which cause additional crashes on top of what the engine issues are responsible for.

As for reasons for change, it was supposedly to reduce the size of the game, which was starting to cause issues for Android version, coupled with the devs thinking it'd allow them to give the game more visual flair than what RenPy typically allows. Obviously a poor idea, but the desire to reinvent the wheel is typical for devs with little to no experience (and hence very high opinion of their own skills)

The game crashes quite often :(. In my case it crashes constantly after Yasuka asks me if I prefer "shaved" or "natural" pubes, choosing "natural" crashes the game every single time. The things that help me crash less are

  • Never, ever use the mini map shortcut.
  • Save, save, save, and try different options (like "shaved" instead of "natural" in my case).
  • Limit the use of fast forward, especially when moving between locations.

I think changing the engine wasn't as bad as many people complain, it's easier to develop in the long run, animations, and there are a lot of new animations since I played it more than a year ago, are flawless and smooth. The game also feels better after the change. It still need fixing, but it's already paying off.


When it comes to content it's top notch, very is very few games with art this beautiful, tasty and sexy. Story is a cliché when it comes to "going back in time".

Yes, it's true that this developer is quite well funded, but at the same time they are very responsive, work diligently and take risks when it comes to game design (no full-harem story, ntr, femdom/submissive routes, funny/adult [obsession, bullying, criminal activities, yandere, murders] themes). S/he also took a big risk in changing the game engine for a mature and content-rich project.

Yeah, I mostly always hear good things about the engine. I just don't wanna say it *is* the engine's fault as a guess and it be wrong.

But I do remember hearing about the engine change from Ren'Py being due to its 'limitations'. Ever since the switch the game has been, as you said, nightmare fuel. (I still think it's a great game though)

Oh ignore my comment anyway. I didn't realise they were using Renpy I thought they were on Unity for some reason so I guess the timing is irrelevant. Preeetty sure I was just mixing it up with a different project entirely.

But yeah switching engines several years in is always going to be a mess, but I can see why they did if they were on Renpy before.

Meet up with Sayuri at night in front of the love hotel - It's not possible to pass ATM, several people in the thread had the same problem - it's softlocked ATM. Wait for the fix.

I got past it in Chapter Select. I can't remember what I did specifically, but I didn't get right away. I think I just kept going around entering and exiting places and it eventually worked.

The crashing issue--based on my limited knowledge--seems to come from not letting the game preload things? When using fast forward or clicking through quickly and the game tries loading a new animation or scene that it hasn't preloaded, it will crash. The only way I've found to avoid this is not only saving very very often but also being slow before transitions happen. Don't know when one happens? Unfortunately, I didn't either. I can only recommend going slow constantly.

Yasuka's corruption route still locked out after love hotel sex, anyone able to bypass this ?
It's a known bug, fix is to be expected in early January. From their Discord:

"Regarding soft lock issues, we’ll be releasing an initial fix in early January that will eliminate all time locks during certain events."

(Again, haven't play tested it yet)

I'm too lazy to make it myself this time but if these softlocks are an issue with time of day like last update, you should be able to easily set the time to whatever you want with Cheat Engine. If I remember correctly the time of day values are in 2's but begins at 1. 1, 2, 4 etc. I might be wrong though so search for changed/unchanged and create a pointer or a script.

This is as beginner friendly as it gets, CE is very easy to use.
