Is my game broken?
The hint for Megan's Story is Taylor said he saw Zoe go into the Girl's Locker room
And Zoe's hint says I should try talking to Zoe Again. She'll be in the locker room at noon.

I've tried every combination of dialog prompts and she kicked me out of the locker room and my character says I should try again "tomorrow"
Did my game get bugged and I have to start over from the beginning?

This is exactly why this game is basically shooting its own foot. The whole concept of repeating the same day over and over again severely limited the capability of the dev to expand the story. So the vast majority of the update is now a "hidden event" instead which is basically just a meaningless "dream sequence".
Yes that must be repeating 1 week or something like that.

So i can't even progress the story for megan or jessica since i can't enter the girls locker room at any time when the hint says i need to go there. This game is just shit update after shit update.

This is a game that shows just how truly (un)fucked the adult game market is. Over a year into development and there's not a single sex scene. Yet, this minuscule update that is somehow sold as "the biggest update ever" costs 20 bucks. That's $20 for a few rendered pictures and a couple of sentences, while people bitch around about hour long DLCs to AA games that cost $7,49.

Man, I really wish there was some kind of real competition and bigger studios catering the adult game market. It urgently needs more professionalism.

No worries. the update is very short though. as usual...
>Biggest update to date
>Contains exactly one more animation, one more rendering, and one more line of text than the previous updates.
I'm joking... I hope. But many other devs have made me gun shy about "biggest update ever!" claims.

I actually really like this dev and hope they don't turn into one of those people.
Yep, aged well.

Yeah, and the very sad thing is that the dev still has 1k+ patrons for providing awful content in a very slow manner (really far from "monthly" update).

I wouldn’t hold too much stock in what these guys claim as being a large update based on the render count. Just taking a quick look at the image folder, they have a bad habit of making big chunks of their updates consist of superfluous expression variations just to artificially inflate the number of images.

Story wise, it’s become more and more clear how much they’ve backed themselves into a corner with this premise. The story has literally gone nowhere since the game started, and as for the lack of proper sex scenes, I can’t even shit on that, because how are you supposed to believably make that happen over the course of a single day? So it’s a lose lose situation really. We either keep getting blue balled (although considering the premise, it’s not as bad as it could be), or we get sex, but it ends up feeling incredibly rushed and unsatisfying.

Okay, so it was pretty short.

But to be fair to Inceton, that hidden event was pretty G.

The last two hidden events have been great. hahaha

First off WTF is this update? I've been waiting for this update for 2 months checking it every week to see the slow progress, and was expecting it end of August. Even after that I decided maybe the developer team that went on vacation just needed more time to get everything set up, but it took another 3 weeks before the update fully released.
Now the update I've been waiting for is here, the supposed "Big Update, lots of scenes and renders bla bla bla", part of the new "content" is unavailable or broken, and the devs need 4 more days to "fix" stuff. What was all the testing for then?
Secondly, where TF is all the actual "Big update" content? the new "scenes" with Elizabeth are just a copy from the previous update with some renders added to it, plus the Ellie "content" isn't even here with the release. There's some new chick that you can visit, or not, seems like that part was also broken or left out. So all in all its not a big damn update, its a big scam.
Just like you have nice E3 Trailers with nice graphics, but shit games at launch, that's how you have nice Changelogs and high detailed renders in a porn game that has no damn content or story.
I might be rambling, but people pay money for this shit? Keep paying sheep, keep getting milked dry.

I agree. And the second one was even better than the first. Quite funny, too. at least in a silly, not taking itself too seriously kind of way at least. It’s actually quite ironic how the best part of the game is considered as a “hidden event”.

Hmm. I can see people are impatient for story progress, but given this is a perverted ground hog day...we have to accept that the primary progress is going to be with the MC and what he learns about the other characters while manipulating things. While I am always left wanting more, I think this is shaping into one of the best games of its kind. Especially since the dev curbed the monotony early on with redoing things. As for how "short" this update was, I thought nothing of the sort really.

There may have been only 2 main story events this update (with corrosponding sex scenes, although one was simply a more fleshed out rehash, but both were welcome), with a third scene coming with the patch tuesday, but the hidden no fucks given event 2 more than made up to it for me. Besides being a hilarious break from the main story, it involved almost every character so far in hot scenes and animations to go along with most (along with a shout out to milfy city's counselor lol). To me I almost wish there were more no fucks given days, we all know with no consequences that is what at least half of our days would consist of. lol

I wouldn't complain about more story progress, but lets enjoy the ride people. Downing on it here may disuade someone who hasn't tried it that really should.

The point about the story progress being limited by the day count is a good one. While enjoying the playing out so far, they will eventually need to work in a way for the MC to learn to control the day resting in some form. Either draw out the period before reset for multiple days, or to simply choose when to advance to the next day, and allow it to start resetting instead until he decides otherwise. Maybe one day he can decide to blow up that damn car who's alarm goes off and find out it was that days trigger for advancement. lol
