I looked into it and it was way more involved than I thought it would be. If someone is actually still waiting on an Android version I can put aside some time to figure out the process now.

I have to figure it out at some point regardless.

Not a bad idea. I'll add one in after the third episode. Need to put a replay system in first.

Just finished the chapter and I can't emphasize this enough. I hope you accept criticism, but the game introduces and mentions too many characters that you barely interact at all. There is also a "Sugi" mentioned (but never shown?) that I thought was "Suki" at first, which confused the hell out of me. It doesn't be to have anything majestic, just a model of the girl and a one line description would be enough.
This aside, I enjoyed the game (a bit too similar to Lessons in Love, but that was expected since you can clearly see the inspirations and the citations) so I will look forward next updates. Have a good work.

I would agree, that with as many characters as there are in the game to keep track of a reference guide somewhere would be very appreciated. If it's on the main menu accessible from any save file that would be helpful as well.

Hope to see more from this project. :cool:

It would be nice to have an option to skip the book club part entirely. I know you can currently skip the stories individually, but that would mean you have to read... I don't know, I guess they'll talk about the plot of the story, but since I used CTRL I'm not sure. In any case, since I'm not interested in any of the stories told there, it would be easier to have an option to ignore it entirely.

I can add an option to skip them entirely as long as you don't care about some missing context in future scenes.

So far my method of "watching" the unskippable part of the book club has been to use CTRL until it's over. So I'm not going to find it out anyway.

Just came accross this yesterday - hoping for an update before thhe end of the month... possible?

Enjoy story over scenes and slow builds so definitely lots of promise here. More Keiko or Haya would be awesome for the next update as I felt that, at least Keiko, drew a bit of a shorter straw.

The voiced partsm I only encountered I think 1, maybe 2 if I'm forgetting one aside from theh very early dream interruption. Is this a bug or just unadded yet?

I don't think there's been a Patreon post in a while with any concrete dates but the dev did mention mid to late Feb IIRC

Revisiting this after a similar finish.

Having just gotten through the end of LiL current update, I'm curious how similar this will be in regard?

I don't know that I felt emotions for characters more than while plaing through LiL which of course will drive comparison to this game. That's not to say it made it better - maybe just kept me hooked longer even without the need for constant h scenes.

I enjoy the animations throughout, and a little richer coloring/3dish rendering stands it apart a bit. I also hope it doesn't get so complex that I feel that I can't play through it without a guide - something I felt LiL, while great, becomes too dependent on.

A Quest tracker or help on where to go next would help in future updates. Really curious to see where this goes as the premise starts out roughly the same, but I do like the models better and overall feel better than LiL. First iteration didn't show too much about the evil forces, but as long as they don't get me so deeply invested in Keiko only to send her to another dimension I think a bit of horror under tones could do the game good :)

Noticed that as well, this has real potential in that I believe it to be slightly better than LiL even. Obviously, LiL has years of content ahead of it, but the animation and style of this is better.

Any news would be great whether progress or otherwise :)

The game has a "Fast Forward" button in it, which will move the game forward in time and location to the next time & place where a non-repeatable event takes place. Thus all you need to do is click "Fast Forward" and then "See Who's Around" to see what girl has an event to see/trigger. I don't believe the "Fast Forward" feature stops for repeatable events, I could be wrong on that.

I could see some ppl liking a list of events for each girl so they can see just how much they have done of the non-repeatable, as well as the repeatable events. It could be used as a way to re-do the events - like what Champion of Realms does for instance. So this way you get to both track events, as well as potentially re-do/watch the events themselves.

I have no idea how hard that would be to program, or if it's worth taking time off normal dev time to do that.
