I agree with all of this apart from what you said about Makoto, I always liked her even though her scenes have often left me feeling like shit. The only characters I really hated were Sensei and Kirin but now I have added Nodoka to that list as well. I kinda hope Futuba finds out what she did.

yeah I get it. Makoto seems to be a pretty popular character, but I really don't like her character design (Futaba too) and her personality is just not appealing to me. Idk if it's the condescension or the smugness or what exactly puts me off of her because Maya possesses a lot of those same qualities and I absolutely love her. I think it's mostly her design tho because I don't like her mom either and she has a completely different personality.

Funnily enough, I actually really like Kirin. She's an absolutely terrible person and does fucked up shit for very petty reasons, but I enjoy her self awareness and the degree to which it becomes self delusion. Maybe because in real life, I've been involved with girls like that, whereas I've never liked girls like Makoto, Nadoka or Futaba.

Is it just me, or have the characters not ever laughed before? They may have expressed happiness throughout certain parts of the game, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone laugh at anyone's jokes or anything else.

Yumi had one scene early on where she burst out laughing at a joke told by sensei. Sadly the scene has been reworked and now she just snickers

That's definitely weird...
I have tried it on versions 25.p2 and 26.p1 but menu option has appeared on both Saturday and Sunday.

Maybe you have edited the game code or its variables?

If not send your save file to see what might be going on.
Or enable the ingame console, set "anewkey" variable to True and check again.

Nope. No edits, mods, or cheats.

I'm attaching the save. I'm sure I've missed some necessary event -- but in Main Events, I've finished everything down to "Light of Last Summer" and none of the girls' events seem to be triggerable. I'm running 26.1.

Huh. When I toggled "anewkey" the event triggered. :shrug:

Got it. I hadn't finished Miku's events. Eesh.

this current version is a leak. I'd recommend waiting another week or so for the public release to be properly released on itch :)

Started a new playthrough and realized why I stopped playing this in the first place: There is no way to get both Rin and Chika. So no, this is NOT a harem game.

There's no way to get Rin, period. Her lust stats aren't unlocked yet. You can get about a half-dozen mains plus several side girls, but most are still locked (including Rin). It's gonna be a long game.

That being said, you're correct, it's not really a harem game (unless you consider a guy who cheats a lot a harem). There are a few girls who are aware of the others, but it's limited. For a trueharem, the girls need to know about each other and be chill with it.

Most releases come in 2 parts, so you'll (eventually) see 26p1 and 26p2. The one on itch is probably 25p2, whereas this one is the latest- 26p1. Generally one part has character events (progress with the girls) and the other has main events (progress with the overall plot). Obviously it's not always as simple as that, but that's the general idea.

I'd go as far as calling it a subversion of the harem genre, Sensei isn't all that different from the average eroge player who's willing to boink anything with a hole regardless of who they are, the only difference here is that the girls don't really feel comfortable being part of "his" harem.

There's girls who know about Sensei's fooling around, but none of them are particularly enthused about it (with the exception of Kirin and Nodoka, who very clearly are carrying some deep emotional baggage).

If you look at all the threesome scenes so far in the game (aside from the very first one with Haruka and Maki), not a single one of them is actually erotic in nature, they always tend to be either unsettling and/or uncomfortable.

It makes sense why Selebus said that the (current) harem path will lead to the "dark route", because Sensei is very clearly (either unwillingly or not) toying with their feelings towards a breaking point.

All of this. It's an anti-harem that hasn't fully shed it's illusion.

On my replay, I just got to the Ayane/Kirin scene in the dorm battle, and urgh, that was uncomfortable af.

I started re-reading novel after like a year break (and even then i only read up to part2 i think, where new girls started to appear). Noticed some early changes: Ayane feels more natural for example, new music i think? (i feel like "normal day" track played way more often before) and what kinda concerns me - a kinda new cg style. Lots of close ups. Thing is, as a person with a foot fetish, i'm kind of miss seeing girls in all their height, now its mostly waist and above with different angles, but almost always wait and above. Will this "close up only" trend continues further into the game, or is just part of early game rework?

That style change happened midway through part 1, I believe, and everything after was done in the new style. When he did the rework this year, he went back and replaced the old art to have it match stylistically.
