the truth is Selebus writing process involves shrooms and peyote, this in turn, means there is no overall plot just a system of getting blitzed out of their mind and then waking up the next day with the next secret event done
...
or so I wish

 

[DrFree]

You can't fool me, Selebus! Immediately administrating a sugar overload with tht Sana pic to distract us from the Nozomu finding won't work!
Even if all I can think of is patting her head!

Look at the event tracker and figure out what you're missing.

Nothing but two one-event side characters (Maki and Kaori) and I can't figure out how to get to them. I give up; tired of running in circles and my head hurts from staring at the screen for so long. Too bad, I was really enjoying the game up to this point.

If that’s all you’re missing the game literally tells you what to do. Try calling people at different times of the day. Call Kaori in the morning. Call Maki at night. GG.

Looks at the tags and sees some of the rarest tags i think ive ever seen... this one could be a mind fuck. About 12 girls no less (thats enough to keep most busy) and sees stretch goal is to DOUBLE that amount.

What is this game? Why have i never heard of it? 2 updates a month? Is the dev remotely sane?

I should give this one a go at the weekend, go in blind with no expectations and be ready for the promised psychological mindfuckery the tags elude to. Often the best games ive played are the ones i know the least about and just... well tried them. I only even got here as someone had a badge on their profile showing they were a supporter of this dev, strange way to go about discovering new games but hey, if its good enough for his money then it must be good enough to at least have a go of eh?

Selebus said before that he isn't planning in making a hint system. All we really get as keys is:
"Unlock an event with a girl each 5 affection points reached"
"Some main events need you to have unlocked specific events with specific girls"
So, if you are stuck with some girl or main event, you may need to unlcok other girl's event or main event first.
Sadly some events need you to be at a specific place at a specific time (Like Ayane's still young event needing you to visit her at the dorms on weekend)

Then there are the secret events, whose only clue is "do something irrational"
The second one was basically miraculously found tbh.

Oh sure. An explicit "do this" is a far cry from a gradual scene post processing as the mind fuckery becomes more and more inevitable. I can understand not wanting to spoil the mystery. A hint doesn't always have to be written or totally unambiguous. perhaps the special scenes are off the beaten path but honestly it's all a bit off the beaten path.

You will have a few states where you are reduced to trying anything, but with those scenes being just uncommon not rare, it's like turning a crank on a jack in the box and you don't know what will pop out of that box instead of being sure it's just a clown. If turning that crank for 20 minutes had something that was pretty off the wall, turning it for 3 hours had something that had a good bit of pant shitting surprise, how do you think a person turning the crank for 10 hours feels? Like they are damn near about to run into some doki doki literature club shit.

Like i said, if it's intentional, great fuckin work! also not for me! but if that isn't the intention then visual warning before putting the balls in the players mouth is just a suggestion.

Just found this game, and I decided to play through it. I thought it would be a simple dating sim. You know, grind/cheat your stats, pursue a girl, a quick fap. That's how I thought I would be spending my evening.

That is not how I spent my evening. Fuck me, how the hell am I supposed to go back to other H-games now? And why did I discover it now instead of later when it is finished?

Like i said, if it's intentional, great fuckin work!

That is intentional and has always been my writing style in this and other games. I understand that it’s not for everyone and I knew that coming into this, but it’s not really something I want to change. The sudden and random genre-shifts in places you wouldn’t expect give the game a unique feeling. I don’t want people to have hints of what could be coming next. I want it to be closer to how life is in general- a series of coincidences, with many of which being horrible or unexpected, but some of them just seemingly unimportant or strange.

The structure is a sort of testament to the game itself in a sense. Both are completely nonsensical and overly technical at times when they probably don’t need to be. Would it be easier to change that? Yeah. Would it make for a more comprehensible story? Probably, yeah. But that’s not what I want this narrative to be, and I think that will only become more apparent in the future.

I totally get it, though! That critique was something I knew I was going to hear when I released this. It’s just how I want it to be.

 

[Raf-Raf]

I must be slow as f- to not get/realize the (if it is intentional) name of the place > .>ll
Name: Kumon-mi?
My 100% good mind: Coom on me?
My 100% good mind again:Then I guess we really are Kumers huh? (Coomer pun)

Now I'm even more confused. I don't have the ability to call either of them.

Is that something thst can be done with an android device?

 

[Deleted member 1697433]

If you don't have the ability to call them then you're missing a lot more than just those two events.
Like I said before, you need to find the secret scenes and progress the main story.

Every event is checked off except for those two side characters and four of the Happy scenes. What did I miss?

Four Happy Scenes

 

[Deleted member 1697433]

Look at the main events again.
If you're missing four of the happy scenes then you're missing around 14 main events. (Which would mean you're missing another 12 events for Molly and Tsuneyo).
That's a lot more than just 2 events.

Finding the happy scenes is key to progressing the rest of the story and they're all located in places or options you wouldn't normally click on.
Think of it like a scavenger hunt.
There are things hidden where you wouldn't expect them to be. If an option doesn't work, try a different one.
They're not supposed to be easy to find.

Or just scour the comment section or Discord for people who will give you the answer.
