are there a decent amount of scenes yet
I mean, yeah, so many that the rework currently underway is redoing 158 of them...wait, did you mean sex scenes? Those depend entirely on when a character is ready within the story or Sensei having a
bad 'happy' moment, so there aren't that many. This is not a sex focused game, the story does take priority.
It's become a really good game except for having to engage with the wiki after a certain point to figure out the insanely specific steps you need to unlock events that will let the plot move forward. Getting to Halloween was pretty simple (I only fell a couple of months behind schedule because I forgot to phone Kirin for her first event), but Christmas requires a nest of off-the-beaten-path actions. The bloated cast doesn't work in its favour when you don't know what's mandatory, so in effect everything is.
It's easy to quit the game thinking there's nothing to see, but then you go to x location on y day of the week, meet another new side character and suddenly get bombarded with events. The content is good, but I'm definitely getting frustrated with finding it.
I mean, don't get me wrong, it does help, but you don't have to use it to get through. If I did, I would have to start over from the beginning of the game as per my personal play rules. There is no cast bloat, otherwise the actual story would be taking a major hit, I've seen it happen before. The cast number actually has nothing to do with the web of events that sometimes cause people not to be able to progress, that's actually solely because of it being a web of events that connect multiple characters, which has been a thing since before the cast was this big. Also, yes, aside from events that can be locked out, AKA missed, everything is basically mandatory.
Wow, last time I was here, I remember the pages were like 170 - 250 ish.
How's the game so far? Any new HOPE events? (The true waifu)
Also, sound and music isn't mandatory now, is it? I never play with sounds on any game.
Oh, it has progressed VERY nicely since you were last here. I am getting a feeling the dark route is not too far ahead at this point, but that will have to wait until after the current rework of early events. Also, yes, sound is mandatory in at least puzzle areas because there is no telling when Selebus is going to make a puzzle answer or hint audio only, very much like what happens in "There Is Nothing."
"Worst case" is the string of 3 Secret events needed to progress between Halloween and Christmas. The 2nd trigger is the Ramen shop on Sunday only, which might mean checking every option on every menu for 7 days before finally finding it. The scenes themselves lose a lot of punch when they're not blindsiding you as well, imo.
That's the problem with using outside help and why I don't do it, because I don't want it to lose that punch. I typically stumble into those things, so it isn't all gone because I never had time to prepare before stumbling into it, but it does lose some impact if outside help is used.
Finger? That's too tame.
Go all the way!!!
And when it's finally implemented, NAIL HER!!!
Be careful what you wish for, she might actually end up nailed, and I don't mean...

Oh, I was talking for the scene I go from the clock room where we nail a certain someone, I want to do that to Ami too then to everyone else.
GO all the way -> Pierce 'er all the way!!!
Insane Clock girl >>>>> Maya
Oh, you really were talking about that sense of the word. Carry on, then, nothing to worry about. I'm sure Ami will be very 'happy' to find out she's being nailed.
