Got a couple questions I hope you guys can help with. I just started a while back the first season of the game and I'm liking it a lot to be honest, but I've come to a bug. Checked this forums and I've seen more people having it but have found no solution outside of loading someone else's save. The bug is the problem with the game locking itself when you try to contact Leona using the book. It seems like the game doens't allow you to do anything about it. Any solutions outside loading someone else's save? Just in case it's important, playing on PC with the latest version available here, and sandbox mode on.

And, on a second thing, regarding season 2. Do I carry over my save from the first season or does it start fresh considering you've already done everything in the first season? If it is the first case, do I need to have completed all quests and stories in order to start the second season or can I have completed the ones I'm interested in, and skip the rest?

Thanks all in advance! :)

I do not know how to address your first predicament. However, for your transfer from season 1 to season two. The game will not remember your progress, you have to carry over the data manually. To do this, you have to use the save transfer feature in the season 1 load save menu. I'm pretty sure you can save and transfer at any point (not 100% certain though) so I would reccomend playing the entire game, and just skipping the dialogue of the characters you don't care about before transferring .

Yeah, thanks! I have already gone and played through season 2 without loading the save game since it was an incomplete save and I couldn't break the block in the book scene. So all is more or less "solved", or something. :)

Is it me or is the writing just awful? I am speaking specifically about the Visual Novel version. I absolutely detest sandbox games and refuse to play them. SO, before you go all troll on me, please consider the context ok?

1. The MC is made to look like some sort of 15 year old hormone raging pervert and you really cant seem to make a genuinely nice guy out of him.

2. You are given choices (In the Visual Novel Mode) that have zero effect on the scenes. IE, why give the MC the choice to blow Naomi off and still have the scene play out exactly the same as the other choice?

3. Dialog between characters sometimes elude to something that is going to happen in the evening or morning, etc. but they never actually happening.

4. Visual novel mode just cant shake the "sandbox" feel. Alot of things are left out or feel unfinished. Its like the DEV did that version as an afterthought. It feel like no time or care was taken to properly adjust the script to help with the flow of the game.

I feel like the Devs should remove the Visual Novel version of this game completely and go back to work on it. It just feel like a "sandbox" game without any of the controls AND it feels like a Visual Novel with none of the elements that would make it a great visual novel.

You're right, the writing is bad, VERY bad. I know that the dev is aware of it, however, (and I could be wrong here) English is not their native language and I further assume they have been unable to acquire the services of a competent proofreader. That being said, I wonder who is making the typographical corrections in the updates. If I am wrong and they are native English speakers then WTF :cry:

1. I agree, but many others on the thread don't. They think it's harmless flirting. I also think I know why, but it's a subjective sociological view and will open a can of worms.

2, 3, 4. The game was originally only sandbox, but then the VN was created and offered as an alternative. I also agree with your thoughts on this i.e. the dialogue has been written for a sandbox game and has been lifted and dropped into the VN without any changes, hence the gaps, dead ends etc. When coupled with the poor grammar etc. it can lead to players who appreciate a good story being stymied.

Might be better to split the game into two games and rewrite the VN to fit better if that's the case.
