Just replayed the choices way to see if i missed something with my typed answers...but it looks like its exactly the other way around. You "teach" nonsense to nothing, rini dont makes any sense, mana tells the truth for coming late, etc. Its like a different game with less choices. I thought the choices way would add options i didnt think off, insread they remove everything that makes sense.

I like build up and rewards but having to wait, say three times as long as someone going the forceful route for example, would just be frustrating.
Yeah, that's a good point, I'll try my best to make sure that either playstyle will get some sort of reward around the same time.

Understandable. I gotta refine the choices part, because so far, I only added a couple I thought would make some sort of sense.

Choices will most likely always be a little less inclusive compared to typing your responses in, because I feel like that some inputs are fun when there's a "Damn, I can't believe she reacted to this." sort of shock. But I'll take a look at it for the next update and try to expand your options a tad bit more.
Thanks for letting me know.

I'm also replaying with the set choices, just to see what they are like... and encountered a bug:

- I went with Kumi to the Hospital, and when she talked about going for IceCream I chose the "Ice Cream sounds like fun" option.
- At the bus station with Kumi and Tatsu, I picked the option "Actually, lets get Ice Cream"...
- And Kumi's response was "You do want icecream... you said you didn't want to earlier"

Obviously didn't make sense, seeing as I selected I was happy for ice cream, but then Kumi acts like I had said no to it.

One icecream bug happens if you dont look at her phone in the hospital. Even after promising it before you end up needing to convince her to get some...or escort the girls home. But if you check her phone and give her a good excuse, she tells her friend you planned to get some icecream.

For the choices, its almost mandatory to ask rini if she dont sleeps well/enough/at all when she asks why you are here ^^

Ah, already found the thing you mentioned. Just a variable I forgot to update. Thanks for letting me know.

But Rini looks like she totally gets a full 8 hours of sleep every single day.

Is that how you plan on approaching the "actions" later on? I have been curious to how the interactions will actually work in this one. Like when it gets around to a lewd scene for example. I find myself thinking, will they just be railroaded videos you watch? Maybe I'll have to type everything I'd want every position? Like, "get on your knees", "bend over for me" and so on. Both scenarios don't sound overly appealing to me but lets see how it goes.

Yeah, I have a few ideas of how I want to approach it. Like you said, having to type in everything would not only be tedious, it would also be too much for me to code and render, since there are hundreds of sex acts you could realistically ask about.
Most likely, I'll limit it to a few sex acts you could ask and they'd feel comfortable with.

And perhaps I'll add some parts where you could click on parts to show you want to try something else, ie clicking on their head during fellatio to show you want them to go faster.

Either way, when I reach that point, I'll test some things and see what people prefer.

A thought on the options route - specifically the scene in the library when Tatsuo brings up the trolley dilemma. If you're playing where you can input everything, you can choose any of the 4 girls, or anyone else from the class as well. However with the set choices you only get the option to say Tatsuo or Akane specifically.

My thoughts - either list out all 4 girls that are there on the table, or remove individual options keeping them "I wouldn't if it was one of you" option.

My personal preference on this would be to list out each of the girls as a separate option, while also keeping the generic "If it was one of you" option as well.

That's some good feedback, because I was wondering if I should include a bit more in the more expansive questions.
I wonder, because with the input everything part you can say you would or wouldn't press it if any of them were on it, so pretty much 8 different answers. It's not too much extra work, but would people prefer to have that included in the options part as well or just a "I would sacrifice other people for [Insert Character]"?

Uhmm some super duper secret that there aren't neither the option on screen xD I think is already a lot that I've manged to grab ger attention (and not in a positive way lmao ), literlly no clue what to reply here..

This game is a nice experience however there are way too many "what do you mean" , some prompt are read wrongly, like, "I want to hold your hand" will be replied with - "Stop with sexual stuff" xD and other times they will just freak out, like a "no, thank you" will be replied with "on the other hand is better if you go away" lmao .
One thing i certainly can say is that this game is totally out of reach for no english reader/writers, supposedly the game should have only a variation of the text (with perhaps some background) but no, you will miss entire scenes, CG and secrets, still not sure about the jackpot with the random price since nothing happen, to get it i had to to use one time the on screen prompt cause was a bit too much complicated to guess, so i geuss is half and half (never mind while i was writing I've found the solution, had to use again the prompt on screen to understand.. still nothing happen tho xD i guess I'll keep it ).

btw please devide that save/load screen cause way too many times I've saved into a slot instead of loading.

Yeah, there's quite a wide range of possible ways to grabs her attention. I can see being confused as what to tell her, but type in whatever you think will fit. Rini is a bit special, so hard to get a read on what she wants to hear.

"I want to hold your hand" will be replied with - "Stop with sexual stuff"
That's very interesting, I'll have to test that and see which words are causing issues, thank you for letting me know.

Honestly, if you can understand what the characters say, you should be alright, your inputs can be simple one word responses. You might miss out on some CGs perhaps, but since it's still very early on, you're not going to miss out on many big things so far.

That's a good point, I'll see if I can make it less bothersome to navigate. And thank you for trying out Kaedama, if you got any input requests, by all means, tell me and I'll put them in. :)

Maybe it would be better to use a more common approach. Right click for save menu, j for the journal/character sheets, etc.
Its the only really annoying aspect in the game, we are all used to go to the save menu directly.

i mean it is fine that menu, however a division between save and load would be nice, othewise like i did way too many times i click on what i think is load (on save/load panel) but the only panel wich will be redirect is to save so you have to click on the menu once again to load, ye my mistakes obv but like you said, way to used on having a different panel.

Real-life Simulator.
lol, that's quite the interesting bug, thanks for finding it.

Yeah, I could change it to that if too many people have trouble navigating/finding it too bothersome, because it does take a few clicks to get to the save menu.

however a division between save and load would be nice
I'll think of some other thing to click to divide between load/save then. I'd hate for people to accidentally save when they mean to load. If you got any other feedback, let me know. :)

I haven't tried this game out just yet, but I've been following it and it seems very interesting and I appreciate how active Kaeru is in discussing the game and fixing stuff.
