Yeah, unfortunately that means that save file just isn't going to work. It's a maddening bug, but Conash thinks he can probably fix it. A fix for this is what I'm waiting for before doing a proper public release.
Does that mean I need to avoid that scene? I've had it happen with other ones, too. Not sure I have a save that will load.

No, you don't need to avoid any scenes; the thing just sometimes breaks that way when you save. My best tip is if you go to the subway then go back to the apartment before saving your game you should probably clear out any excess, uncleared image data.

Okay, all hope in the universe is fucking dead. Super early save, 100% fresh. Load the game and this is how it shows up. :(

Try just using replay mode and an accelerated start. If I'd done the public release of this I would have explained that if you start a new game you have some fast start options now. It can be pretty quick to get back to where you were.

Also of note, all my saves are in the apartment. I'll try restarting, we'll see if it happens again.

Brand new game...
Like I say, this is a persistent problem with saves right now. I wasn't trying to suggest that starting a new game would prevent the possibility of it happening, but if you only have broken saves you can get back to where you were relatively quickly, and frequent saves can kind of help for the moment. I can't give you a definite fix because we're still working on it. I think some kind of scripting might remedy the problem, but in this version I can't guarantee it won't happen; I get this bug too.

Ah, I understand now. Well, it's nice that the skip option is there so I can get to later scenes. Though it means there's a lot of flashback scenes I missed out on, so no backstory for me now. :( Still, better than nothing, unless there's some other way to see the flashbacks after the fact.

Not yet, unfortunately. You could always try a "skip intro" with replay mode on - if you know how to progress in the game it doesn't really take long to get up to where you are and there's an option in the stats menu to take replay off (or turn it on) at any time.

So I see in previous update notes on your patreon that Shizu's romance should be complete, but after I finish her last flashback with Cho in the hotel room I get a message telling me I've reached the end of her content. Is this a leftover message from a previous version? I didn't really get to test other interactions with her as I was close to day 21 and completed Emi's story shortly after seeing the message.

I also received a message about the end of story content well before I'd finished romancing anyone, is this referring specifically to events that happen independent of your relationships? If so it may be best to modify that message to make it clear that there's still a lot more content in this version beyond that point.

All in all I'm very impressed with this game. It's a very unique and engaging storytelling style blending a fairly complex mystery story with an otherwise fun doesn't-take-itself-too-seriously porn game. The load times and other engine troubles hold it back, but I'd definitely say the experience is worth it.

Good job on the game! Really enjoyed it but seems like I have a bug that one of the wallpaper will be stuck in the screen no matter where I go, even using the scenes that when he woke up by the girls, how to repair this error?

Thanks in ahead

So I checked previous messages and seems like I am not the only one having this problem, guess then will wait for bug fix then. Thanks

I'm seeing an issue I'm not noticing mentioned above. I didn't bother with saves yet so it's unrelated to that. Basically, I click an action like look,touch, kiss, it shows the text for it, but then doesn't do anything when clicking. If I click on menu, sometimes having to click twice, then back out of the menu then everything works again. It was all working fine, but after the train scene this started happening. It seems limited to only that scene however, the dream one, once I'm in the hospital it seems to be working fine again.

I had the exact same issue. It cropped back up once or twice later in the game, but seemed fairly isolated.

since the game can't be reloaded at the moment, is there a guide to see all the flashbacks in one run?

You're right on the first point, yes, that's just a leftover message and the Shizu sex scene is in the game. And the plot message isn't necessary any more either; I'll remove all those messages from the next version.

And thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the game; it's very encouraging to get positive feedback. :)

Soooo..... when can we fuck the blonde tanned girl? :HideThePain:
You mean Mika? Fairly soon, I hope. Actually, while I'm not 100% sure how my schedule will pan out and how much time I'll need to set it up, introducing the new characters Mika and Hirai is likely to be the next thing I focus on.

You're stuck in the apartment? I assume you've just arrived there, then. Have you tried going around the rooms and clicking on stuff? Maybe you haven't noticed there's a billboard to look at outside the balcony? It's probably something simple like that.

So I checked previous messages and seems like I am not the only one having this problem, guess then will wait for bug fix then. Thanks
Unfortunately yes, that is a major bug I was hoping wouldn't go public until I'd had time to fix it first. There's no real solution except that sometimes the broken image data can be cleared by going to a new scene, like the subway. If that doesn't work then the save is just broken.

I haven't seen that before; I'll make a note of it and see what I can find, although the apparent rarity of it might make it difficult to replicate.

Not really a guide as such, but just like in previous Pervert Action games managing your time is the main thing.
  1. Try focusing on one or two skills and boosting them early on when you have free time, or when none of the ladies are in a useful mood for you.
  2. Try to go on dates that suit the ladies' moods and your skills at the same time (and there's some small bonus if the location also matches their personality).
  3. Don't let jealousy reach 10 for anyone as fights waste time.
  4. Flashbacks also use time, so try to do them when nobody's in a useful mood.
I should point out that there's no particular incentive to get all the flashbacks in a first run anyway, although it should be possible. The game will change up a bit once Mika enters and similar to PAL, it's expected that you'll start from the beginning again at some point.

Thanks, gotta enter the Pervert Action game time management mindset. Are flashbacks tied to the love/trust points or the date venue you choose? And are there specific targets I should be going for with the hand/mouth/eye scores?
