Oh, I wasn't seeing any issue with rollback in this game. I've seen it in other games, and seen other ppl & dev's comment that rolling back can/has caused issues. I usually just rollback myself, unless I notice it causing issues - in this case just to ensure no corruption/issues with what I was doing, I reloaded rather than rolled-back.
It shouldn't be causing any issues in Kaedama. I did try to make sure rolling back worked fine, because I figure most people would try to redo their inputs over and over trying to find whatever little things I've added. Only thing is, is that you can't rollback after loading a save due to the input system.

What happens is that scene gets to where she says "But I'll see you tomorrow ok?"
Ah, I'm gonna have to check that then, probably a problem with the looping system not updating correctly.

(which is ironic, as she's not even a real person. lol).
You're not the first one to say this lol. Of course, the characters aren't really reacting to what you are saying, but since you are forced to type in the mean words there is this level of empathy and I guess it's harder to disassociate yourself since the MC only ever "talks" when you type things in.
And since you do bring up 1 strike, you're out...

I'm liking the game so far, and if I do find anything else, I'll post here.
I'm happy to hear you've enjoyed it so far and I'll try my best to get the next update out as soon as possible. You can also dm me on here or on Discord if you want, I can imagine it being a little bothersome to have to type out a whole post each time. :)

Overview:
Enter the halls of Kaedama Private Academy: an all-girls private school that strives to help her students become confident, independent, and ready to face the challenges and obstacles of adult life.
Take on the mantle of Class 3-B's new teacher and join the seventeen students as they stumble their way through their journies of self-discovery, experiencing the ups and downs of friendship, drama, and romance. Perhaps you could be there to lend an ear? Offer some advice? Or maybe provide a little extracurricular support?

Embrace your new role, learn to love the eclectic mix of girls, and maybe... just maybe... set their hearts aflutter.

The response system is kind of cool. It makes you feel more involved and a bigger part of the game. The game is very touching, so far, you feel so much for these girls and they are all super cuties and I love cuties. All the pics in the examples above, I have seen in the game so I assume that I haven't missed too much if anything. The big pic above is not in this version, I assume. I am a super old guy and I love some serious fetish tags, but, this game is on a different level and it's just super sweet. The girls make you laugh, tear up and think. I like that too.
Still hoping that they all start warming up to the hot teacher in the next version. But, you do you.

Even if you make a response that the girls don't understand, you can just roll back and change it, right? I did and it seems to work that way.

I'm really happy you enjoyed the response system and love my girls. I tried my best to make them as cute as possible and hopefully you were able to type in all the responses you could think of. :)

Correct, no beach/swimsuit fun yet. Of course, there will be a time where you'll have to go swim with these girls and possibly gain some special alone time as well.

Yeah, it's definitely a slow process, they need time to figure out if they actually like you and vice versa.

Yeah, you can rollback as many times as you like to figure out what response they do understand.

You won't get punished or anything for rolling back and I actively encourage it, because some responses will reveal a bit more character lore.

I assume the more suggestive, corrupting responses will come as the girls warm up to the teacher. It sure would be nice to see them in various stages of being undressed. When they are home, or in the locker room, showering, etc. EYE CANDY!!!
Just had a thought, will teach be able to get involved with some of these girl's moms? Just a thought.

Honestly, when I first started, I was thinking of adding more characters, but I've opted to kill off everyone except the 17 main girls. It'll be too much work to create and entire group of side characters and I'd rather just focus on the characters that are there already and make them as perfect as I can.

Alright, I've released a small hotfix for anyone interested. I've fixed the bugs, added an extra secret, a small extra scene and all the inputs people have requested me. Let me know if there's anything else that might need fixing or if there are any other inputs you'd like to see.

3 things:

1. You tried to correct humor, but it's still misspelled.

When Tatsuo says "You have a strange sense of houmour." - just use the US spelling, much easier. So 'houmour' should be 'humor'.

2. In the Library when Tatsuo asks why your there and says "Looking to help us study perhaps?"

- You can respond with "Kumi" to this
- She reacts by saying "You're here for Kumi? Great", "Take a seat right next to her"
- Instead of sitting and the scene continuing, you get "Not wanting to join them in their studies, you walk away"

- You get the same if you respond with "Akane" or "Chiyo". Get told to sit next to Kumi, then you leave instead.

- It does work if you answer "Tatsuo" - she says "Why?", "If you're here to help me study then take a seat"... you do and the scene continues as expected.

3. The Ayumi headpat issue I posted about above happens on a new save. So not to do with possible issues/problems/conflicts with using a pre-existing save.

Really enjoyed what's here so far. Is the main way to find secrets through the dialogue choices or is there something I'm missing.
But yeah I can't wait to see more and see where you can go with the girls. Kumi seems like a given if you respect her time and actually do stuff with her. Mana and Nori are probably next as they already are very friendly with the teacher but both in different ways.

I'm glad to hear it. :)
Every secret is a clickable object hidden the background. It'll be a little brighter when you hover over it and they are only in scenes where the character was/is present.

So I gave this a go and might I say it's really good, I did enjoy my time with it. However, I don't think it's for me. My comments were often misconstrued. A lot of the time it felt like I was either fighting the code to get what I said perceived how I wanted it to say or I was dumbing down my answers to single words. An example of how my wording doesn't work as it should is; when asked if I want something to drink I'd say "I'm fine, thank you.". Because I said fine it assumes I said yes. When in that context it actually means no. There are other times similar things happen. Maybe my way of speaking is just wrong in this case. Also something unrelated to me, when I tried to teach geology it taught chemistry instead of something generic. Geology is the study of the earth in it's most basic terms. Chemistry is the study of the elements and compounds and how they interact with each other it in it's most basic terms.

I'm sorry to hear that. If you'd be willing and still remember the inputs you've tried, let me know and I'll fix it. The code is still very much at an infant stage, so it does quite often misinterpret certain words.

That's a good shout, I'll add that in.

Another great point, I'll fix that.

Thanks for the feedback and giving Kaedama a try. :)

You really don't have to apologise. My brain isn't a neurotypical brain and it doesn't function like a standard persons would. With how it works it tends to say and do things that aren't logical. If anything I should be apologizing for breaking such a good game.

Off the top of my head some that I do remember where at the start when Mana asked do you like anime. If you put "like" then followed by "no" it would assume that no is the answer. For example "I like boku no hero academia" or "I like No game, no life". Both of those take the word "no" and prioritize it over "I like". When both of them are actual animes that exist and I'm stating I like them. Talking about not understanding, I named my character Fuck, I thought it would be funny. When I mention my characters name, Mr. Fuck, people get mad. I know the reason why and it's funny breaking the code like that. I'm so sorry, I will probably do it again if given the chance. Finally when Kumi ask if she can stay, I as a weirdo say I'll let her stay only if I can hug her. Depending on how it's written I either hug her without asking or I refuse her. I think it has to do with the text needing the words hug her specifically. For example if I type "I'll let you stay if I can hug you." it wouldn't hug her and she feels rejected and leave. If I just type "hug her" it will.

As there were a lot of things I wrote that I don't remember, I'd have to play the game again to get all the things my brain did that didn't quite work. I'll see if I can, for lack of better words, break it some more. If I find anymore I'll send them through pm. I don't want to bloat the thread with my nonsense.

lol, you flatter me. I'm just happy you've enjoyed it despite the issues the game has. And honestly, I love getting feedback from people thinking outside of the box, it's the only way I can improve and fix things that are supposed to work.

If you put "like" then followed by "no" it would assume that no is the answer.
Firstly, based for liking No Game No Life, it needs a second season. Secondly, that's a very interesting point you've raised. I'll have to include those animes to prevent Mana from misinterpreting the player.

I think it has to do with the text needing the words hug her specifically.
I'll have to fix that one then, the code isn't incredibly advanced, nowhere near AI levels and in basic terms, it functions on a synonym level where I pick and choose which words mean what.
And I appreciate it, I actively encourage people to break the code and see what might work and what doesn't work.
Feel free to PM me on here or if you use Discord, you can spam me on there.

It's really do enjoy the story. The issue are honestly not that bad. Having what I said misinterpreted is common for me in real life. So having it happen in a game isn't a big jump. Besides I've dealt with worse issues in games, when you tend to break games as much as I do you learn to cope with broken code. I think the worse I've done is beat a game with a supposed soft lock.

I did notice that the inputs worked like that. Something I remember from my last play through was it breaks down what you said and put certain words at priority. Don't ask me why but I put "No, I don't like Mr. Fuck. Use Sir Fuck instead." some where and I saw it took "fuck" first then "no" then "like". Like that's the order it took it in that situation. I think it might have been Kiraka's start when she introduces me. Who know, I plan to play it again and write out my inputs that didn't work. Like when Mana is placed infront of me right at the start and I can't ask her about her heterochromia when I have that weird obsession with heterochromia. Yes I am strange.

Also as much as I like No Game No Life I'm pretty sure they are never getting a season two unfortunately. Something about legal trouble was what I think I found when I looked it up.
