Hmm this game is actually pretty shallow and the added life management meters seem to only be there to pad the game.

You are right with one point: the stats have no importance. They were removed from the progression system at some point, it's almost completely event based. Before that it was very a grind feast.

Just curious if you ever went back to revisit this game. I downloaded it much later than you and by the time I did it was fantastic. If you haven't retried it, give it another go. I think you will be pleasantly surprised
This game is pretty good. The story is great IMO, and I like the interactions with the big and little sister so far. The main problem that I have with the game is that the way they decided to implement pause, and the menus in general just feels wrong.
You need to use the phone to pause and do all normal save, load, gallery etc operations. The first problem is that you cant use the "esc" button to bring it up. Instead, you need to manually click the phone button to bring it up, which is annoying. The second problem is a result of the first. Since there is no phone icon during scenes, it becomes impossible to pause, save, load, or do anything of the sort during some interactions, and you need to wait for them to end before being able to do anything. This problem is especially annoying since sometimes I miss the time to save before an important interaction, and is impossible to go back. It can be annoying if you like to save before important points in the story.
However, these are small issues at the end, and did not affect my experience too much to the point of being unbearable. An overall great game so far.

Tickets: walk around at night and meet your shady friend (have $1000 ready)
Ingredients: should be available from the grocery store (not the mall)
Candles: look for a container in the house, I think it was in the kitchen, not sure anymore.
After all these years, still the best game in his category. Wish there were more games like that, and not abandoned in the middle.

Does anybody facing the problem where you click on something in the game, for example time skip button. It won't stop clicking until you click somewhere else. Anybody know how to fix it?

We've never heard of any reports of that happening before. Does this also happen when you try loading your auto save?

Nope. It only happens when I'm in the game. It's like pressing micro keys endlessly.

No, I'm not using any cheat or any mods. I only used in-game money cheats. Then I deleted all data of the game. And started new game without using in-game cheats. Still same problem.
Also I should mention that only time skiping, in-game phone features and hints are seems to affected. Other things like interaction and selection of dialogues are working just fine.

Which language are you using in the game? I do know there is an issue with (and I'm trying to go from memory here as it's been a while) the Italian translations where there is a typo with regard to "weekend" (in the Italian version) vs "weekday" (in the English and other translations -- AFAIK).

Dude, I'm using English language translation in not a problem. I told you, it's like pressing macro keys at 1ms repeatedly and endlessly. I assuming you know what macro keys are.

Yes, I do. I used to run macros on my IRCd back in the 90s as an admin. And I've been doing bug testing/tech/game support for Faerin for 4 years now (starting with MotH from v0.8.2). So I can tell you from firsthand experience, especially when testing or having to look at a player's save (even to this day), I have never seen this issue before in the three years since its Steam release or prior to. Not to mention, no one else has ever reported a problem like this on here, Faerin's Patreon (when it was still in development), on Steam or on Discord. So I'm sorry if asking questions to get an idea what's going on at your end upsets you, but "dude"... It's my fucking job to ask questions like these. I'm neither a mind reader nor can I see over your shoulder to know what's going on. So quit assuming.

It seems that you think that I somehow being rude to you. I am not a native english speaker. That's why I wrote 'dude' to be polite and to avoid any misunderstanding between us. Making example of macro's was the only way to explain my problem. But, you seems to take offense anyway, even though it was never my intention.
Now this time I'm not being polite.
I've been adjusting my amd settings the graphics thinking it might solve this problem.
I tried lowing my monitor's refresh rate to match the game's, and it didn't work.
I downloaded original game again, and it didn't work.
I downloaded compressed version, and it didn't work.
I completely deleted all games files from appdata and moved the game to another disk, and it didn't work.
I tried to use different mouse, thinking it my solve it, and it didn't work.
I disabled keyboard in device manage thinking, my keyboard key might be pressing all the time, and it did't work.
While you were explaining to me how great of a developer you are and how much experience you have.

I never stated I WAS a developer. I said that I work WITH a developer; there's a big difference between the two.
And in all that information you supplied, not once did you state what OS you are using or your system specs. So adding all of the above defeats the purpose of trying to come up with a solution to the problem you are having without knowing at least something about what you're running. The computer I test from uses the following specs:
System (custom built by me):
OS: Windows 10 Ultimate X64 version 21H2.
Motherboard: Asus X570 Pro.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x (8-core).
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB DDR4 DRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000).
Video card: AMD Radeon RX 580 series (8GB VRAM).
BTW, I highly doubt your video card is the cause of the problem. In fact, I'm nearly 100% certain of that. Since this issue has never been reported previously (as I've mentioned three times now), the cause is likely OS/hardware related and not the game. As far as a "compressed" version of the game, there isn't one and there won't be one. This game (based on the Unity engine) is as "compressed" as it's going to get.
Possible solutions:
- Download and install the latest
You must be registered to see the linksruntimes. Extract the files to a temporary folder (which you can delete later) and run the included "install_all.bat" file.
- Download and install the latest
You must be registered to see the linkspack.
- Check for updates for your OS and make sure you have it set to "Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows" (if you use Windows 10).
- Make sure you do not have the game's folder in multiple sub-folders. If that is the case, move the game's folder to root.

My first guess would be a problem with the input device (laptop keyboard with function keys, touchpad). But since it apparently is only happening when actually playing, a problem with the runtimes sounds more plausible.
Make sure no input changing software like the one shipped with logitech keyboards and mice is running, just to be sure.
Btw, from one non native english speaker to another. Calling someone in support / who is trying to help you 'dude' and then qustioning his qualification ... that is not a good way to make friends. I would probably feel a bit insulted as well - in any language.
Just answer the questions, maybe he'll see something that could indeed cause the problem.
Start with the question about your system setup.
If it's windows 10 or 11, can you also post the version? The first windows 10 has not much in common with the last one.
