Can someone who likes the grind explain why they do? I really don't understand the appeal of game mechanics like this. It would be a much, much better VN without all the "guess which room and time you need to click" nonsense. Yes, you can download the mod to get past most of it but why add it in the first place?

I know there are lots of other "games" that have a similar approach, but why?!
There is only grind in this game if you don`t understand the game.
To progress in this game is actually quite easy when you know what you are doing.
I wrote several times here a "how to" i`m stunned by people who write such negative posts about a game that they don`t even bother to understand.

I mean ya i can get it makes you angry if you are feeling "stuck" in the game, but it`s never smart to insult a game only bc you don`t get it.
And then there comes the "argument" that many don`t get it, as if that would make the point valid...

Stunning to me^^

Anyways if you actually looking for help i`m willing to repeat myself, but if you are just venting your frustration or hate speaking, i rather don`t waste my time on deaf ears.

I respectfully disagree if you don't think there is "grind" in this game. I actually quite enjoy the story and art etc, but even with a really good sense of what to do next (which is NOT obvious without a guide), there is a LOT of clicking. I'm at day 200 and something and so many scenes repeat each day to progress, whether you want to watch or not. For example, the girls leaving and arriving each school day - no need to have the same scenes over and over and over.

It's a shame, because behind all the clicking is a great VN. I also get why the dev wanted a slow burn type of game, and I absolutely like and respect that.

However, it feels like the multiple rooms and times are a mechanism to make it a slow burn, rather than keeping a narrative going that delivers the same outcome without the clicking. I actually prefer and seek out slow burn games rather than "Hi, I'm the MC, let's fuck" ones, which I find pointless (may as well go look at porn if you just want a quick fap!).

You will discover near the current latest Version, that they don`t actually leave for school, there is a huge plot twist coming right ahead. What makes the daily leaving "for school" pretty tragic and adds a lot to the perspective/background of the girls.

But i don`t want to spoil it for you, just interpreting it myself as a rather genius story element.

But back to your main Point the grind...

Each room has a point, besides to deliver variety. You only need to find out how to use the room to your advantage, then you kinda know whats about to happen. In the earlier version the pool and the poollights, the bath and the glasswall, the kitchen and the cleanup, it goes on and on for every room.

You just have to think a bit perverted here^^ oh and if you think the girls are so naive that they don`t see trough the MC actions, wrong again...it all comes together pretty well and nothing is really as it looks like.

Anyways, you have to understand that you need to do some "tasks" 3 times. Thats all the grind.
You start a new Update and on the first day something new happen, like a sleepover in a girlsroom at midnight?
Simply do it 3 times on the same art of day and time. That`s it. There is your "grind".

It a element of small progressing and teasing, which is pretty easy to understand, i always said, the game is way to easy after Version 7 or 8, i kinda miss the slower progressing and the buildup.

But as a Developer you can`t please em all i ques.

So i dunno what update you play atm, Day 200 could mean a lot.

Anyways, like i said the difficulty drop a lot from update to update, when i needed like a whole Day for the first version, you can pretty much end all latest updates in like 1-2 Hours, that`s how much more easy it will become. Sadly.

The whole game mechanics improve as well, sometimes it`s a process to find out what the mass prefers.
But i actually prefer much harder difficulty and much more teasing.

Version 16 came out prior to the side story, but looks like the Mac version is 2 updates behind
oh well, I'm already on day 13, it would suck if this versions save doesn't work once they update it for latest version.

Room for Rent seriously what do I think about this work. The story is a joke, the writing feels clunky and was either written by someone with a poor grasp of the English Language or someone that needs to go back to school to continue there education. The animation is clunky and doesn't make sense. The story arc is not believable in the slightest. The MC was turned into a what looks like a 60 your old superman with the testosterone level of a young teenager. The girls are all cute but just stupid. The MC was turned into a 2 pump chump and were supposed to believe that he is going to satisfy a house full of young Nymphomaniacs not likely not with his small penis and small testicalas. I will have to give it that this is truely a work of fantasy, more then likely the girls would take advantage of him take his money and find younger men to satisfy there urges as he would most likely die of a heart attack before long. You also left out that he would be pumping Viagra like it was candy. Then you had the old guy take out a professional Killer that was the icing on the cake for how stupid this story became. Then you made it was it was so damn hard to figure out what to do and there were so many days that were just boring repeats with no story arc what so ever. I would highly suggest that anyone that plays this title take it that is was written by a non English speaking person with beginner level animation skills, and You MUST for your sanity use the Walkthrough Cheat MOD if you hope to not spend endless hours wondering what the F'n hell your supposed to do next. Well I know your creating a new work I just hope you have at least gotten some help in writing a good story and have someone with English Grammar Skills proof read your work before you publish it.

Seems yourself could benefit a rerun of the school year since you flunked so many spelling tests!

Yes you got me I misspelled 2 words (Testicles and Truly and choose there in stead of their and F'n as abrevation for the correct word oh and I left out the 're in your creating), but compared to this story which has many more spelling and grammar errors I still feel my statement if justified. I'm also not writing a story and hoping people will pay me money to continue that story as this author is and even tries to force you to go to his Patreon page when you try to exit out of his new story that they are writing. But if you feel you need to defend the author by all means please do so and enlighten us on how great you think this is and why you think so or else please don't waste peoples time with your stupid remarks.

Most of the people in this forum like this game. I beleive that constructive criticism is always productive. This rant is, however, not constructive and an obvious troll attempt.

Suppose that as a child, you loved Easter egg hunts. You probably will like this game.

Maybe as an adult, you never pass up a scavenger hunt. This, my friend is your game.

Maybe, as an adult, you only do scavenger hunts with a map and a cheat sheet or in the company of someone that knows where all the swag is to be found.

In that case this game is not for you. You should find a different hobby.

Life is short. Thanks for playing.

so you like / enjoy the poor grammar and English translation. I buy a book that is written in English then I would expect it to make sense and be written for an English speaking person. This is not written for an English speaking person. But you obviously just play the game for the sex and not the story. I would much prefer to read a good story then have to decipher what is trying to be said. I guess my OCD when it comes to poor translations make it difficult to enjoy. Well to each their own. I much prefer the games Written by DrPinkCake and authors like them so yeah I'll pass on any future titles from this creator. You call it a Troll when I call it not sugar coating it. The story would be more enjoyable in English is the words used were to correct words it wouldn't take much to improve this Title. The storyboard just is hard to follow and has way to many repeat sequences, it is like reading Ground Hog Day over and over again. Well that is just my opinion and we all know opinions are like assholes everyone has one some just stink more then others but is reality they all stink a little.

Are you really mad that this author isn't a native English speaker? I understand that it can be difficult to read at times but it's not like it's their fault. I'm not sure if they do their own translations or if they use something like Google translate, but either way it's not going to be perfect unless they hire an actual translator.

I feel that out of all the things to nit pick about this game, the translations aren't that big of a deal. It really isn't hard to understand the dialogue.

I've spent a little time around non-Americans. My first wife was Dutch. She barely spoke English and I knew a few key phrases in Dutch.

If English is not your primary language, then conjugating an English sentence may be problematic. It is rude to point out grammatical errors to someone who is attempting to speak my native language without offering some direction. It is always better to point out the anomalous diction and suggest a more correct way to convey the thought.

That way, the non-English speaker gains a new level of understanding and I don't come across as a boor.

I don't know if I enjoy broken English as much as I understand how it happens.

My original comment was directed less at the troll, and more for the benefit of anyone who is contemplating playing the game and possibly supporting the developer.

Again, thanks for playing.
