The yellow dots are where you need to click, the positions might not be 100% accurate, but should be pretty close, just make sure you get the "Thank you" message before progressing to the next one
Reviews are almost never objective. They are opinions, meaning subjective.I think you'll find "Bob" is very good at ruining his own game, going by the majority of reviews on here. At least on here you get objective reviews about the grind and nonsensical gameplay compared to the fairytale on Patreon.
BTW, there are plenty of devs who release high quality content on their Patreons or here for free. No doubt you consider the $50 a month great value to get the game on release day.
And if you look at quite a few "reviews" on here, they are not reviews at all, just someone clicking the like (5 star) or dislike (1 star) button and sprouting some rant or rave, usually not even taking the time to form proper sentences. You want an actual review, you have to dig a bit.
As for your $50 comment: Then that should hold true for any game on F95, just looking at the highest tier on Patreon.
On grind: That is pretty normal in sandbox, and not much worse or better in this game. Not seeing your point at all on this.
As for the free games on here and Patreon: Examples? All the games I support, or consider half way decent, only give an older version of the game away for free on Patreon. You want the latest? You pay.
It's not anywhere near as grindy in the last few updates, and reasonably easy to complete all the bookmarks.
I will admit back in the beginning of the game it was grindy as hell, but nowhere near as bad now
Hehehehe. Agree 100%. Not saying it's not grindy, it is. But that is part and partial of being sandbox, hence the tag. Then again, one person's "enjoy repetition" is another's "grind". Again, hence the sandbox tag as warning.

I'm stuck at the end of episode 5. It won't let me progress. It says there is something on the beach at 23:00 but nothing ever happens. I've gone through 30 days and just nothing happens...
Well I guess the perception of a game as grindy is not only about the sandbox-design per se, as there are many very successful sandbox-games like "summertime saga" or "The headmaster", that are not perceived that much as a grind. I guess that a big part of the perception of grind comes from the structuring of the day in hours rather than in smaller units. That may be a little bit too much. I guess, my next example is a little bit exaggerated but it is only to show the point, where a big reduction of grind-perception could be done without changing the overall concept of such a game very much. I guess that can’t be done in this game, because it would mean a complete overhaul of the game. It’s just a advice for the creation of future games.
You have 8 locations, 14 times a day on which you can do things and 7 days a week. If you have a person, that has absolutely no clue what to do and you have an event, that triggers only once a day on a certain place and a certain time a day, in the worst case the person has to try 112 different time/location-combinations to go ahead. If the event triggers only on a certain time, a certain place and a certain week-day, in the worst case you may have to try 784 different time/location/day-combinations. And as time has a certain order, you can' just go ahead to one certain time frame when you think there might something happen (as it is with a certain place), but you have to skip hour for hour.
If only the times a day were reduced to 4 or 5 times, there were only 28 to 35 different possibilities for a daily event and 198 – 245 possibilties for a weekly event, which is far less. That’s only worst case and the average case is certainly much lower. It’s only an example to show what influence the choice of the amount of daily times may have.
I guess such a reduction wouldn’t only reduce the perception of grind, but also the maintainability of the game, as the overall code-complexity could be reduced (certain events should only trigger on a certain time of a day and not in a time span) and bugs can be easier detected and solved.
Maybe it would be useful to do an Patreon-Poll about such a question for a possible future game when MBFD comes to an end.
is there a walkthrough for episode 1?? i cant follow episode 2 walkthrough because stuff are locked?
Not a bad idea. Actually surprised they haven't thrown some polls on there already, like: Would you still pay / stay on same tier if the "time to public" is significantly reduced? Or a periodic How would you rate the game per the following categories?
