You've missed my point. If a player is following the provided hints and walkthrough, they will continue to give Claire a foot massage at 21:00 and thus the eavesdrop event at 22:00 will not trigger. This is what happened to me in the first game. It makes sense that she won't chat with her sister because she zonks out instead. But unless the player knows that they need to eavesdrop at 22:00 and that it's impossible if she's asleep at 22:00, then the player will not do what they need to do to advance the story.Yes, but if you do the same thing every day, you would never discover all of the events...
I guess my main gripe is that the walkthrough fails to mention this (and several other pitfalls). What may seem obvious to one person may not be at all obvious to someone else.
I am also curious as to how the game reacts if you get to a point where you're watching a horror movie with Ashley while mom is still dropping by at 07:00 to peek in on the MC. Will you still get the mom peeking in on the MC event if Ashley is sleeping in your bed?
