So a couple things about the recent updates:
1. I really like that it looks like the MC is showing a little bit more care for the girls and their wellbeing and happiness (even if its just a little bit)
2. I like that there have been several instances of the MC saying that he's bad...but not that bad, in reference to some darker topics here and there, which kinda helps not feel like a monster with all the stuff the we have the MC do
3. I went through the Rin content first before the Molly stuff and I just want to say....
4. The main reason I still play is because the end of the description of the game is "But don't worry! Everything will be okay~" and I really just want to see it through to the end and see everyone okay at the end of it all.

Please tell me this scene means what I think it does... Maya is one of my favorite female characters of all time... hands down, and although I would never trade the slow build that's been happening for anything 'cause it was amazing and her interactions with Sensei are hilarious, I'm also super excited for the chance to finally break through
her shell a little bit.

1. Me too, albeit for me it doesn't really make me like Sensei that much more. He's certainly got his moments with the girls that warms me up to a wholesome degree.
2. It's easier to admit your fault than it is to change anything about them, on that I can relate with the guy but as I've said it doesn't takeaway from the fact that he's an asshole.
3. Yeah that whole scene hit me like a truck because I felt closer to Rin than most in this VN, Yumi being the closest.
4. I'm hoping for something like that too but at this point if you've gone through as many tragic stories as I have you'll come to not expect the good stories to have a happy ending. It's always been that kind of expectation for me and this VN doesn't stray from that mindset. If anything I just hope it doesn't hurt as bad. I'd love to be proven wrong once this all comes full circle.

Okay, I need help because I'm scared my game is bugged or I messed up and I'll have to restart... again.
So one of the requirements on the wiki listed for triggering the event 'There is Nothing' is that you need 10 happy events up to X, problem is, I missed #3 (Swim Trip) because I chose not to finger Ami. And, worse than that, #6 (Turn off the Lights), which the wiki says is unmissable, I've somehow missed? Or my game says so at least? It says to trigger the event, all you have to do is use the "Invite Over" button on a Saturday or Sunday, which I can assure you I've done... multiple times... so, am I screwed?
P.S - I'm going to be genuinely disappointed if this game turns out to be one with the illusion of choice, for example, you don't have to finger your niece if you don't want to, but haha get owned loser 'cause you're not allowed to progress the story now.

Hey, Selebus.
First thing, kudos for making an absolutely great game. I'm a big fan of VNs, and this is without a doubt one of the best written VNs I've ever played --- Eastern or Western -- and I've played a lot, so that's a big compliment. I'm only maybe halfway through the released content so far, so I'll have more to say and theories to share after I catch up.
I have a suggestion though. I've seen other people having a problem with the scary scenes being a bit too scary, and I saw how one person suggested you allow the option to remove them and you shot that down because they're the whole point of the game. I totally get that. But I thought of an option you could include for the scaredy cats like myself to also fully enjoy the game.
In either the option menu or as a cheat code in the computer, perhaps you could include the option to insert a "jump scare warning" before a scary scene starts? If it happens in the normal flow of a scene you could maybe have a little countdown thing appear showing it'll happen in 3 clicks, then 2, then 1. And if the scary scene appears based off of something the user clicks on (and they've activated the warning option), perhaps you could put the little smiley face thing next to it so they'd know to prepare themselves for it.
I totally get that this will lessen the impact of the scene, which is why it should be off by default and 100% optional. It's something that probably the majority of users would not want to turn on. But for people that are weaker to this sort of thing, it could be really helpful, and not make them do things like quit playing, or play with no sound, or the like.
That first happy scene was kind of mildly traumatic for me, as my guard was just totally down and it came out of nowhere and made me not want to play anymore. Since then I've extensively used a walkthrough, played with the sound way down, and kind of been completely willing to spoil myself by reading this thread (despite typically hating spoilers), to lessen the impact and surprise of the sudden scary scenes. An option like this would allow me, and others like me, to play in a more normal way.
I wouldn't say anything if I felt I was the only one that'd benefit from something like this, but I've seen a lot of other people posting in this thread about having a similar feeling that the scary bits are too much for them, so I thought this may be something that could be beneficial for many others as well.
Thanks for the consideration. Even if you change nothing I'll still be playing this damn thing to the end because it's too damn good. But I thought I'd share my idea. And again, thank you for making this, because it kicks ass.

OK I have successfully gotten every main character to an affection rating of 50 or more. And I am not getting any events now. The last one I got was Ayane, when she was depressed and asked me to sleep with her and Sana came in.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to activate the lust events for the girls I can have sex with? Or is there something else I'm missing.
I don't have access to Molly, Tsuneyo, Io or Uta. And I am stuck at main event Recall completed. There are apparently a lot more after that. I thought that once you got every girl you could access to level 50 you would get the events that were missing. Do I just have to grind from here on out?

No girl needs more than 35 affection right now.
I'm willing to bet you're missing some HAPPY events, which are required to progress the story. Try going to the dorms then deciding to just go home without visiting anyone.
If that doesn't work, here's the Wiki page saying what you need to do to trigger the next main story event:

That's not what's happening. I'm not sure how the wiki is worded since I don't edit or modify any of it, but it accounts for misses as well. So when it says 10 happy events, it could mean 10 completed or 8 completed and 2 missed. All that matters is that the threshold is met and that virtually everything in Chapter 1 of the game has been either seen or permanently crossed out. You're likely missing one of the side character events if you can't trigger that. A lot of people seem to miss Haruka/Kaori/Chinami.
Hello and thank you for playing the game! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. I've heard the scare-warning suggestion from a few other people before, but your iteration is definitely the best sounding one I've heard. Unfortunately, that's just not something I want to implement. Because not only does it lessen the impact of a lot of the story (As you noted), the game is still a horror game at the end of the day because that's what I wanted to make. Putting a horror warning in a horror game is just not something I can find myself getting behind 100% and I don't hold it against anyone who stops playing because of that.

I just read it again and yeah, it's not the happy events after all. I must have misread it earlier in my frustration. It says:
Additionally, you must've seen (or permanently missed) the following events:
- 93 Main Story Events up to Stray Cat
- 10 Happy Events up to X
I love this game a lot, and I want to see how your story unfolds, Selebus. I very much look forward to seeing all the pieces I'm currently missing, traumatic or not.
At the same time, you write great characters, that it's really hard not to feel protective of, so part of me wishes this weren't a horror game so I could save them all. I don't suppose you intend to do more games in the future with the same girls? Possibly ones that don't revolve around

I'm at the point where whenever there's the slightest bit of static, or the music becomes strange, I'm in full alert mode. But yet, I'm okay with it, and actually want more.
I haven't had this kind of trepidation towards a game in a very, very long time. Not since the Kingdom of Zeal and the Ocean Palace in Chrono Trigger (I seriously stop playing for a while when I get to Zeal, feelings are way too strong there).
No cap, but this game is hella depressing and very cryptic for being very straightforward(?)
Yeah, ever since the first happy scene I've been okay for the most part, since I've been so constantly on edge. Though honestly I've just triggered the second happy scene (after delaying it as long as possible), so I don't know how I'll react to the later stuff yet.
I generally don't do horror games, as something about actually controlling a character while being scared (i.e. Silent Hill) creeps me out and makes me not want to play it. VN horror I can do, usually, unless it gets too far into my head.
After LiL, probably not (Unless the prequel stretch goal is hit on Patreon).
I might do girl-focused, Sensei-less special events as additional holiday type updates, but that's something that's probably still a ways off.
After LiL, I'll likely go back to 2D.
Game is noooooowhere near finished yet, though, so that's still years away.

That strangely makes me feel glad and worried about your well-being in the upcoming future. Thanks for the content that you've provided us thus far.

Yes that was it. Man I could have gone all year and never done that though. I mean I have no clue when these things will trigger. There should be some clues in the game because you can get stuck like that pretty easily.
Thanks for the tip though.
