It's really frustrating!
Now the star information has come up in the game, and I really haven't gotten any stars. I don't know how far I have to go to get even a measly star!
I think this happens to all the girls, apparently, right?
When I played this game a long time ago, I had unlocked several things, including being able to enter my mother's room while she was with my father. And I could get caught by them, but that was a long time ago!
Back then, the game was easier; I think I was at the beginning!
Now there are so many things that I really don't know how I managed it!
To evolve stars, do you need to have 100 Assertiveness?
They were there for quite some time, so I cannot tell how it was before them. But they make things easier to track.
I do not know if they are variables itself, but they do not appear on their own.
Everything in this game's progression is AT(archetype)-related. You have to progress through girls ATs to level up you intimacy depth. Number of * raise with AT changes.
Yes, each girl has her own ATs and * tracking.
If you have no stars on any girls, it's most likely their basic ATs, although you have to have at least one on Tilley since she goes with flirt traits from the very beginning.
But even without * there are still intimate scenes here and there, mostly non-consensual though. XD
For example, you can mouth-fuck you older sister while she is drunk and blacked out on the couch.
To advance through ATs, you have to
- make them go with needed interests (usually 2), for that, you need to boost their skills (an interest usually consists of 2, so 4 skills to 100%).
- when you do that, there appears a hint of how to pass through AT-changing scene. Almost always you have to meet a lot of additional conditions, the higher is AT - the more conditions you have to meet and the harder is each one of them. Assertiveness is one of possible requirements, they depend on what you are trying to change in particular girl's behavior, to which AT you want her to transform.
With that done, different scenes and activities become available, but also some previous ones are closed, so there is always good to play every girl's AT throughoutly to get tons of them.
The basics are covered in tutorial, review it if you do not know where to start.
