This game is great. Literally the only complaint I have is that I've been waiting years for some good Lacey content. Here's hoping that she gets some love soon.

Bug fixes
  • A minor bug that showed the reception job also for the special girls has been corrected. Now their real jobs are shown instead --> will be fixed with 0.2.3

Estimated release dates:

This cannot be helped, sorry, plus I actually found it rather fun that it is not just a saying but an actual event :)

"How often is a blue moon?"

"How often does a blue moon happen? Normally blue moons come only about every two or three years. In 2018 unusually, we had two blue moons in one year and only two months apart – and one was a lunar eclipse! The next time we will get two blue moons in a year will be 2037"

(since we must have one now, we'll see you in a year or two :D)

A blue moon is the second full moon within a calendar month.

Excerpt from an article I found online:

The older meaning defines a Blue Moon as the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. Called a

, this occurs about every 2.5 years, according to NASA. More recently, the term Blue Moon has been applied to the second full moon within a single calendar month. There are roughly 29.5 days between full moons, making it unusual for two full moons to fit into a 30- or 31-day-long month. (This means that February will never have a Blue Moon.)

Which one is correct? Well, since language and the meaning of words constantly evolve — take your pick. Both are commonly used today and either definition is considered valid. As Texas astronomer Donald W. Olson wrote in a 2006 column for Sky & Telescope magazine, "With two decades of popular usage behind it, the second-full-moon-in-a-month (mis)interpretation is like a genie that can't be forced back into its bottle. But that's not necessarily a bad thing."

How do you get all 5 of the "context related" sexts from Yvette? I've done everything that is tracked (75/75 achievements) but I still have only three of those active... one is Yvette wearing Yumiko's bartender uniform and two are holiday pictures of her and Lynn.

What are the final two and how do you get them?

I don't remember how to get them but you miss at least one in her blue nightgown, so try visiting her at night until she wears it or try to trigger her night visit, she also wear her blue lingerie.
Note that I can be totally wrong and she will send them randomly.

I would say just install the Companion Mod
It was built in conjunction with Darkhound, the creator, and now is fully made by him now.
No need to remember cheat text, very simple to use.

Also less likely to mess your game/save files.

Tried this and can't figure out how to use it once it's installed. Is there some new button or hidden switch?
