The game might seem grindy and too time-limited, though please do not forget that you've played the demo, not the full version. We can't just open everything, so our demo limits your time. In the final version of the game you'll certainly get enough time to obtain most of the pictures during one playthrough.

We're still working on the world, trying to make it more attractive, there's a plan for more special events, and more places which need your stats to activate.

Thank you guys for giving us the feedback.

As we're still working on the game, it is highly recommended to give us as much feedback as possible, so we can keep improving our dear game. Best regards!
If you're going to have the grind in game, you should wait until later in the development process before you implement it or at least put a stats-lite version in the demo where it's easier to level up so that people aren't spending the entirety of the demo just grinding charisma or grinding reliability. Otherwise, you're going to have the exact feedback process that you're having now where people are screaming about grind. If a demo is two hours long and one hour and fifty-six minutes of that is of grinding, that's going to just piss people off and you're not going to get any of the feedback on other core gameplay systems that you're trying to test out. You pick one or the other, time-sensitive events or grind. Having both in a time-limited demo is bad game design and poor decision planning.

I have to agree with the others, even for a demo the grind is way to big, even more with fixed incoming events that spends time of a day. It takes visiting the bar 4 times 3.680 Money to just level Socialising up to level 2. Than comes the money factor that you need to spend on your sister, on groceries for reliability, for gifts, for rent, or just events its too much with limited time. So you need to level up stats, romance and make money. The time aspect can only work if the dev makes it so that you have to focus on one girl at a time but even like it is atm its not possible.
Just look at other games like Hunie pop, you have to be able to ask questions AND be able to spend time with that girl. It makes no logical sense that it skips a Time of the day just to ask "What is your favourite hobby". And just like Hunie Pop has it after you know something about her you should get asked questions and get +Lovepoints for knowing her.

Putting the obvious problem asides, the Art is really good, the basic concept is very fun, it has great potential i really hope their will be some changes to it.

theres an error problem if your inventory is full when receive bear package you might want to change the inventory design, at least let it have more than just 5 slots,man even an rpgmaker game inventory is less poorly design than this. Since the game is lock in autosave instead of manual save, that save is permanently dead since it just start the day with going straight to receiving the bear package then error and crash.

Okay, but I feel even in the full version, I will still feel the game is grindy. maybe grindy isn't the right word, but it's more of a problem with the overall pacing of the game, exploration in general feels slow, for example getting from one end of the map to the other is very time-consuming, and even in the full version I will definitely feel the same (not a matter of the amount of content , but pacing between the contents).

I can imagine this game can be made to have 1/2 the real world time it needed to play (by reducing unnecessary padding, like slow running speed, text speed, cutscene speed etc.) now, and still delivering the same content and satisfaction, simply because in its current state, the game feels too slow.

Lol I love how people are typing long 400 word scathing paragraphs that essentially boil down to "I no want think! i want fap!!!1! BAD GAME DESIGN GRRRR!!!" meanwhile I can't get over the fact that the teachers in this game actually give really good life advice in this SLICE OF LIFE SIM GAME...

Guys, I use cheat to open all CGs, and there only 3 Sex scene +1 Blow Job (Teacher, Sister, Red Hair, Prostitute), the funny thing is, the image in this thread (matting press with teacher and missionary with Red Hair) doesn't exist at all in the game. but maybe I'm wrong. but you can check my save

Yes I also only got those 3 + 1 scene, I did cheat the day count and grind everything out,and I didn't find a way to trigger the event highlighted in the first page, so I think it's not in the demo ver.

Idk if you sarcastic or not, of course I know this is demo. I'm just helping everyone who ask for "open all cg". the image in the first page thread is really click bait, I mean that everyone was try hard to get that CG, but in the end you can't get that CG which don't exist at all in the game. That was my first post, I shouldn't post to help others, if in the end someone is making fun on me

This game is stupid. 2 actions a day and sometimes not even that.. get visited by a debt collector and your day is over.. work part time and your day is over? WTF? It's so out of whack it's dumb. Oh and let's not forget that you can't even take a bath it takes you all fucking day to take a damn bath? WTF?

I had to delete this game because time is so fucking skewed and not even 3 actions in a damn day! For any common sense this game does not have it!

1. Time in this game is a big damn joke
2. Nothing is labeled go to the convenience store.. You have to guess and get it's not the right place message
3. The events get boring when you see him take a piss and leak in bathtub over and over again
4. Keys don't even work correctly says to use B or esc to open phone.. B does not even work
5. Oh have a quickie with a girl and it takes the entire fucking day! You miss class completely.. I can see being late but missing the entire damn day for a fuck..

This game had so much damn potential and ruined by the ridiculous actions no matter how small takes the entire damn day.. Talk to a girl.. whole damn day.. can't even get a chance to give gift.. it's either gift or ask question.
