omg for a while I've been wondering why many events weren't triggering and I decided to try out a brand new game and out of nowhere all events are back and there's even a mini game about catching cats. Do saves just not work and you have to start a brand new game everytime?

That’s happening because of the new variables I added in this update. When you load an older save, those variables aren’t present, so most of the new scenes and features don’t work properly.

Main interactions with the main NPCs currently don’t have any gifs or images, except for locational events. I’m trying to add images and gifs that fit those interactions, but the amount of text variations I’ve written makes the work difficult. You can expect to see gifs and images in those interactions, as I’m planning to add them gradually over the next few updates.
Hope there will be more of the other male characters dominant events soon in the upcoming updates of the game

We got a few updates! So I'll update my temporary review.
Still a decent game. Coming from my last criticisms.
First was the lack of story telling, which unfortunately is still not particularly engaging or deep but it's still early and there isn't a lot of content to begin with so for what there is, it's fine.
Second was the characters and relationships which are vastly improved, again there isn't a whole lot to do with them still but it is much better and certainly not as abusable. I am disappointed by the lack of incest options but hey I'm a freak in the minority so it's fine.
Third, we still have missing content, like interacting with homeowner in his room or specifically trying to tease him in the living room but things are certainly filling those spaces in.
Fourth the time system is vastly improved. Still very static and unrealistic but hey improvements can be made but even if they aren't it is very functional.
Now for new things.
I love the options to include/exclude certain random events based on sexuality. I also love the events we've got for homosexuals, (I really don't care about hetero as I am not.) I cannot wait for more. I am slightly disappointed that there are more female NPC's than male but I'm not upset. Lastly is the skills... which I mostly do not understand. You can boost your fitness at the park or in the gym but it doesn't seem to have much of an effect yet and handiness can be boosted with the tools in the garage (or helping Homeowner with the car from the same location.) but aside from a few skill checks there doesn't seem to be much use for them plus the EXP involved with the Handiness skill isn't conveyed well, limited to You got X EXP but we there doesn't seem to be a way to see how much you have or need. And finally there is Charm which is boosted solely through clothing as far as I can tell. (well that and who you choose as a companion.)
Before I go there is a bug to report in the garage. On weekends when Roommate is in the garage with Homeowner there is an error that displays. Before the error is closed the background for the garage doesn't load (though everything else does) and when the error is closed the regular background appears.

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, it really helps me see what is working and what still needs attention.
I am aware the storytelling part is not strong yet. My goal right now is not to push the main story forward immediately, but first to build the world around it: a small town that feels alive, with secrets to uncover and unexpected things that can happen, so that players get pulled into it.
The new stats (Charisma, Handiness, etc.) were added because I want them to play a role both in the main story and in the world overall. They will serve as alternative ways to solve situations, make encounters more interactive, and ensure that not every player can succeed at everything all the time. For now they may feel limited, but they will gain more purpose over time as I add new NPCs, events, and locations that take them into account.
I will also continue expanding character-related content, both location-based events and random encounters in the house and town (some of which already change depending on stats). I think these encounters add a sense of life to the game.
Regarding incest: I do not plan to add it. Since my main support comes from Patreon, and Patreon does not allow it, it is simply not an option right now. Maybe someday on another platform, but not in the near future.
About the time system: I am actually quite happy with the new version compared to the old one, which felt very restrictive. This one still has limitations, but I have not come up with a better alternative yet. If you have ideas on how to make it feel more natural, I would definitely like to hear them.
I am glad you liked the new content filters. I noticed that a lot of people did not enjoy being forced into certain sexual content without warning, so I felt it was important to give more control there.
As for the stats, like I mentioned, they will become more functional with future updates. In the most recent Patreon build, for example, I added a to-do list system so you can actually track your quests. Just like the stats, this system will grow as I add more quests and features, eventually becoming a central gameplay tool.
Small note: if you hover your mouse over the stat icons, they actually show details such as Handiness XP, current level, and how much XP you need to level up. This also works for money and other indicators. For Charisma, the idea for now is that it can scale partially with your Fitness and also with clothing choices, but I am open to other ideas if you have suggestions.
The garage bug you mentioned was already reported once before. I managed to fix it, and starting from the next update, it should not happen anymore.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. I would be glad to keep hearing your impressions in future updates too.
has the save issues been fixed because starting over every time is just a game breaker
