The way you are trying to make it 'date or not' argument explains the latter part and that you just don't get it.

Regardless of context, making a story protagonist clueless about a bad thing that's happening while revealing it to player and not giving him an option to make impact in the story is a huge no-no. It completely ruins immersion and creates this unwanted dissonance. And that's a narration writing issue of someone that is not...

Which is not only condescending for the game author, but also lack of self respect.

If I cook a dinner for you and it taste like shit, go ahead, force yourself to swallow it and tap me on my back.
But hopefully others will tell me that my cooking sucks and treat the dogs with the food. And hopefully it will be better next time.

Not sure if there is a route I did not find, but with both choices, either with Asami as girlfriend or Asami as just a friend, the protagonist was well aware of the kidnapping, but was given the task of soothing Asami's mother by staying with her which only led to sexual interactions when Asami was just a friend. I doubt this strategy would be a viable method in real life, but that was never on the table.

And I remember correctly, since I can re-read my old post, that I never made an argument about whether or not the protagonist was on a date with Asami's mother. Just a few moments again to think about what to write and it could have worked for you. Disappointing.

I muted the sound and now it won't turn back on. All my settings are fine, I've tried redownloading the game, restarting my computer and still nothing.

Was trying to do a full playthrough for the new chapters but yeah this kinda kills it. Any help?

I have to say there are a lot of things about this game that I simply loved.

Overall, the visual aspect is top-tier, easily on par with other visual novels produced and published by professionals in the industry. Hats off to whoever worked on the backgrounds, because they are by far the best I’ve seen in any Western visual novel to date. The sprites (though I believe Noriko’s could use a bit of a refresh) and the scenes are also outstanding, along with some really exceptionally well-made animations (even if the scene are a bit on the short side dialoguewise and lack thereof the right impact).

Whoever handled the sound design during the animated scenes did an excellent job (though it would be nice to have a sound effect for when punches are thrown—just shaking the screen doesn’t really convey the tension of the moment). The soundtrack is beautiful, though it's a bit wasted on the game. That’s because, for the vast majority of the time, the same two tracks are reused. While they’re both great, they get tiring in the long run. I think the programmer should take more time to carefully select which track plays in each scene, as it would really elevate the quality of the VN—especially since they have such high-quality pieces at their disposal that are currently being underused.

The weaker part of the game, on the other hand, lies in the writing. The characters aren’t bad, though they do fall a bit too much into genre stereotypes. But as the story unfolds, they start to move beyond those limits and become something more. What really fails to take off, in my opinion, is the story itself. The premise of going back to the past is always intriguing, but unfortunately, the narrative is full of holes, with implausible situations piling up one after another in a setting where death threats and pretty heavy criminal activities are frequent, yet the tone remains light. The writing doesn’t help either—it doesn’t flow particularly well, and it's obvious it wasn’t written by a native speaker. It always feels a bit robotic.

Another aspect that doesn’t work is the “sandbox” mode. It serves no real purpose and is just a waste of time and clicks. The story is mostly linear in its progression, so I think it would be better to remove the time-consuming process of clicking through various scenes and instead turn the game into a classic, traditional visual novel. This would also eliminate the issues with bugs and the need to tell the player where to go after each scene. I'm happy to see that in the lastest content they seem to be moving in this direction.

I just finished playing it, so I can confirm. He only finds out later, and from that point on everything revolves around finding Asumi. The dates with the mother happen while both still believe that Asumi is with the father.

Doing this fixed my volume issue, but it added the crash issue others reported anytime a menu pops up. Has there been a fix for this I'm not seeing?

Edit- I think I figured it out - deleted a file in my saves folder named Persistent and reloaded, seems to have fixed this issue.

Is there a section of tricks, but in order to activate them, is it necessary to raise every money hidden in all the funds, but where are they? Can anyone help me?
