It's actually not that bad, there just isn't a ton of content in the game yet. This game has some promise for sure.

Check the smartphone ^_^ almost everything is done through the watch, the phone or clicking on Imouto. There is a save icon on the smartphone screen in the bottom right.

Try going into options in the main menu and switching the render engine. Try either to see if the glitching stops.

I don't get it. Lewd conversation was good, but trust reduces while attraction is not rising. I really don't get it....why???
Watching Porn together, she likes it, but at the end it's the same.....trust reduces and attraction is not rising up...not even a single f****** point. That sucks, really.

Some thoughts after playing for a bit:
- It would be helpful to show the max energy somewhere, so it's a bit clearer when you're raising it. Also, while displaying current energy as a battery percentage is a novel way of handling things, it can be a bit confusing--I didn't get, at first, that 30% (or whatever it started at with the choice I made) was the maximum amount of energy I could have without exercising to raise it, nor did I think that the 30% boost from eating the nice dinner would be wasted at the base amount of energy for a part-time worker.
- The budgeting concept isn't bad, but you should at least set the initial weekly budget to match what it takes to buy 7 days worth of food, and probably have something that explains that more clearly in the opening. Additionally, it needs to be clearer what exactly the purpose of the "I'll stop by the convenience store" after work part is doing--I initially thought it was going to allow for shopping, instead of just functioning as a slightly more expensive dinner.
- I'd suggest giving attraction a minimum value of zero, unless you're planning to put more (or at least more obvious) ways of raising it in. Having it immediately drop into negative values on a base-option playthrough is disheartening, and pushes players to immediately try to find a way to fix it, which is--so far as I can tell--not feasible.
- That suggestion someone had about making the success rates for interactions partially dependent on the trust and attraction values is a good one. It's always been immersion breaking for me to develop a relationship with a character only for them to constantly react in exactly the same way as they did when we were basically strangers just because the dice said so.
- Maybe adjust some of the result values from success/failure on talking about various things? At the moment, at least early in the game, it feels very much like you lose more than you gain on average unless you save scum. (IE, a successful conversation seems to only gain you 0-2 points unless you hit on a high-interest topic or get really lucky, while failing seems to be more in the 2-5 range). This could just be bad RNG on my part, of course, but that's what it feels like I'm seeing.
- It could be a little clearer what effects thing have in general. Does raising her mood have an effect on conversation outcomes? Does it make it more likely that you'll get away with lewd things? Will talking about lewd topics (once she's ready) raise her attraction? Is horniness a separate stat from attraction? Does doing the dishes and laundry in the morning do anything if she's doing them for you? Does doing your best at work have any sort of impact currently? It's not terribly clear.
- There's something odd going on with lewd conversation topics at the moment: At trust 121, I had a conversation about the birds and the bees go very well ('shy, but interested' IIRC) and lost five trust points. Reload, did it again, it went poorly... and there was no change. Still had 121 Trust, still had 30 attraction. Doesn't make sense.
Look, you seem proud of this, so don't take this the wrong way, but... so? My best guess is that you're doing a multiplication of all the possible things she can like as part of her 'personality matrix' (and that there's probably some variation in how many different things she can like), possibly with the addition of a few factors I'm not aware of, to get a number that high. But what effect does it actually have on gameplay? If my Imouto likes Horror and Ikebana and Third-person games, does that make her noticeably different from someone else's Imouto who likes Gossip and Traditional Music and Racing games? Does she act differently, other than having different topics come up during events? And if you are actually planning to write more complex differences than "randomly choose one topic she likes to talk about during the weekend events", how in the world do you think you're going to have time to accomplish that?
Frankly I've known more women with bushes than without.
Also it's kind of personal preference. Sex generally feel better with pubes involved. Shaved is great for one night stands and porn, but if you actually plan to fuck on the regular... stubble happens, and it sucks.

Different strokes for different folks. For me it's more enjoyable if I can see what's going on and having a forest prevents that. I also like to go down on the person I'm with and I won't if I have to go through six inches of fur to do it. It's like licking someone's scalp.
So I tried the console commands and it doesn't work as expected anyway. Maybe I do something wrong, but if you set the stats:
trust = 999
attraction = 999
she is still behaving the same way, it works for money tho, you can set the money to amount you want by
money = 500000
then you can buy anything you want in the game and boost it at least that way... Maybe it's a glitch, because I have a feeling she lets you go in more, but gets angry anyway and the game ends. Maybe you're not supposed to get to those value so fast, IDK.

I doubt it's a glitch. With those points she is probably just starting to warm up to the MC. Not to sound like a dick but seriously, unless you have nothing else to play I would just pass on this until if/when it gets completely reworked. There is way too much effort for very little gain.
