Shift-G opens RenPy's hidden graphics config menu.I am surprised that almost no one addresses this issue:
I used to enjoy this game on a weaker computer some 6 years ago,
but the feeling is that it has become slower and slower with every release.
The game has become totally unplayable for me:
Any menu entry I click it's seconds and seconds of lag.
I recommend playing with the setting here to see if that improves your performance. It's done wonders for me in many RenPy-based games that I couldn't play on my decade old laptop (i7, 8gb, Intel HD 4000).
Without this, I was seeing exactly what you describe: gradual slowdown between dialogues, slower animations, etc. It would get to the point where the game takes 2-3 seconds to advance dialogue in a scene, even with no animations running or characters on screen.
The other option is to save and restart the app. The restart clears out the slowdown for me. I mention it as a last resort if you can't get the game to play any other way.
But, point is, this seems to be more of a RenPy problem than an Oni problem. It happens across multiple developers, and it's been that way for years now.
