Bathe together worked once. Afterward despite more scenes unlocking for bathing, bathing together is always refused. At the point where she gives handjobs and you can make out, bathing together always refused. Checked the flags in the save file, for some reason "may bathe together" is turned off and even turning it on by editing still results in being declined.
Progression is very slow and unclear. Looking at the save file, I noticed there are literal dice throws for outcomes. So she can be in a great mood, drunk, horny (turns kiss into makeout) and find lewd topics uncomfortable when talking. I'd call this bad design as it doesn't respect the player's time. Grinding is fine when there is a way to progress. If you could level up charisma to meet skill checks for the talks, it'd be fine. Complete randomness is.. not.
The dates appear to stop with the Restaurant. I went up to 500/500 and nothing more happened on any date option or any household activity (unless something is supposed to happen while bathing together, which, as stated above, appears to be impossible)
Some days, cheering her up, despite working, does not actually improve her mood. Neither does gifiting a pokestick. This appears to be random.
Some days, her picture gets stuck on the screen and you see her twice when doing any activity.
Doing the same date again doesn't seem to do anything but waste money - I didn't see her stats increase.
At some point she started getting bad grades randomly and I got a game over. I loaded a save and tried talking to her about school subjects, that doesn't seem to do anything to her grades. I tried loading the save and doing nothing for a few days - surely if I'm not distracting her she can focus on school? No, still no change.
Getting a game over itself is bugged apparently, as you get into a loop of getting the bad end screen, then her awake on the bed screen, then bad end screen again, etc.
Different types of foods don't seem to do anything apart from Ramen giving her a bad mood. Special meal does nothing.
Different types of drinks don't seem to have an effect either. Beer and sake have the same effect. That being "nothing". I assume valerian tea is supposed to be to make her sleep deeper, but you always drink the tea as well, meaning you can't access the sleep scene at all.
On the sleep scene, there isn't anything to do except undressing her and masturbating. Also, cumming once ever will cause that save file to show the cum overlay over her on any subsequent night visits even if you never cum again.
On the sleep screen, there is a number in the bottom right that measures how close she is to waking up. The number seems to change randomly.
Having a job, part time or neet makes no difference to the game apart from your ability to make money, though even then you can just be a neet and store money in your bank and get more money through the portfolio investments. But even if you have 100,000 money (the amount i had during restaurant date) there's still the "i am useless i should get a job" inner monologue. On my second try I changed to having a job just to be able to pass time faster, because you very quickly run out of things to do.
Laundry and dishes stop counting as having been cleaned, this appears to be random. Also the number randomly increases from 0/1 and 0/2 to 0/2 and 0/4.
Ironically, the skip dialogue button only works on one-time events. You want to skip all the dialogues from doing repetitive tasks that tell you nothing new? Nope, just gotta spam left click.
I wanted to give the game a real try because I like the art style, but there are just a few too many problems. I know it's way too late to change it now, but it feels like the game would have been done better in rpgm. Renpy seems to cauase all sorts of problems with the systems that were implemented.
Also as a side note, the phone screen is fairly badly designed. Some of the buttons are for things to do inside of the game, other buttons are for opening browser windows on your actual browser, with no differentiation between them. I might have looked at it as "Oh, apps that look like real life apps are for opening browser stuff, the others are for the game only", but no, there's an icon of a banking app that does ingame things, an icon that looks like Steam that does ingame things, then an app that looks like twitter that opens a browser window. They're not even separated like "top apps are ingame bottom apps are for opening browser windows", because the bottom 3 buttons are for things to do ingame as well.
Would not reommend putting time into this until it's completed - at which point I'd still rather wait for someone else to put time into it and let everyone else know if it's worth it.
