On the subject of the recurring events in this game…
You know how these games tend to play like the movie Groundhog Day? Same things happen every day but each day there is (maybe) some progress toward new or different things happening. In most of these games there are events that rarely or never change and they stop making any sense at all. You get to the point where MC is sodomizing his sister every evening while she does dishes and she's sleeping fully naked in their shared bedroom, yet every morning she's still getting mad at him for walking into the room while she's changing clothes. Muh immersion!
Allow me to heap some praise on Faerin for showing more diligence than most other devs to avoid that. In many cases it only takes a slight change to the dialog to show that character relationships have evolved. For example, the breakfast conversation with Ashley goes from "You look lovely" to "pretty" to "beautiful" to "hot" and finally "Damn you look sexy!" Most of us are going to be in a hurry to click through a conversation that we think we've seen a hundred times already. It didn't go unnoticed by me that the conversation changes. Nice work.
