Hi everybody! Author/programmer here. Awesome to see you guys are enjoying it, and also kinda fun to read some of the criticism! This game was just a hobby for me to help teach myself programming while writing and 3d-rending, some things I enjoy!
I'm glad the story has been found and enjoyed by everyone, (even if you are pirating it, haha)
For a lot of this criticism, I just want to say the game is still in a very early state and not really meant to be played like a normal video game at this time! Some people were eager to see 'what I've been working on' so I released it as more of a demo and it's in no way complete or meant to be played from start to finish like a normal video game, nor are you meant to be grinding for money at this point in the game!
Eventually, you won't mind 'grinding' through the week because new stuff will be happening each week, similar to how the bully boy story advances. Each interaction with the customers in the diner will be new (and hopefully interesting), and traveling on the subway will also lead to a new interaction each time. But sadly, the game just isn't finished yet, so that content doesn't exists since the game is in such an early state. It's more a template for what is to come!
As for players who didn't want to 'have to flirt' with the 'young child,' I'd like to remind everyone that all characters are 18 years or older. Also, you DO have the option to skip flirting with them. Rachel will encourage you to flirt, but you absolutely don't have too. The story will continue to advance and you can get sluttiness level as high as you want through other means. Although, the sluttiness level is mostly unfinished and just template for future content I plan to add (although it does unlock some stuff right now, it's pretty easy to get it low enough just by playing the game.)
As for the engine, well... I programmed it all myself, mostly as an exercise to teach myself programming. So that is why it feels very crude and clunky! I will hopefully be able to fix it up and make it better as I keep working and learning For example, the next update will include the option to press Spacebar to continue, and will speed up the transition.
Glad you all found the game and have been enjoying it! Here the controls:
F = Full screen toggle
S = Sound Toggle (mute/unmute). I recommend trying it on as it can add a few effects, although most places don't have sound added yet.
R = Restart the game to the title screen (In the next update this will include resetting the resolution to defaults too)
Escape = immediately close the game with no prompt. For those times you have to close in an eergency!!!
Auto-Save: The game automatically saves progress at the end of each day, after your char goes to sleep in bed.
The only official download for the game is from Itch.io, accessed through my Patreon:

Thank you for playing and I'm glad you guys/gals found the game! I'm very excited and very glad to hear it's (sorta) well liked!
