People always complain about Illusion's repetitive design and lack of real improvement, but keep overlooking that's just how Japan's eroge industry is by nature. Japanese culture is conservative, nobody proudly tells their family they're involved in the porn industry, so majority of new programmers don't seek out a career in this industry; they only look to it as a stepping stone to get enough experience to get a job at a mainstream developer.
Another aspect about Japanese business culture is that their salary depends on how long they've worked at the company. There's a huge incentive for people to cement themselves into a career at a single company early, because every time they change employers, their salary progression resets to the bottom of the ladder. Age and experience doesn't matter, what's being expected and rewarded is loyalty to the company.
Those two cultural pressures results in eroge studios having a permanent shortage of veteran programmers and why so few try to make anything more complicated than VNs; companies like Illusion at least try, even if their efforts ultimately wind up feeling amateurish because their teams are literally mostly newbies.
People really need to lower their expectations for Illusion's games.

Trying, I am not dissapointed with the game, looks interesteing, but having seeing so many abusive actions on other games I just wonder if this has or someone will add at some point action like assault at bathrooms and things like that, hope that come true
Might very well already be in the game, try moving a character into a bathroom that is occupied, maybe that works.
Maybe this is something the "bad friends" are supposed to do, but I have not yet seen them appear in the game, but they certainly look like your typical "illusion game darkness character".
Or, they will be selling this as a DLC, as usual.
ScrewThisNoise any update on how things are evolving regarding the "basic mods" aka: uncensor, adding the clothes from HS2.?

Already tried the assault in bathrooms, though the reaction from them looks positive instead of scared couldn't tell if she's sadistic or its just a general reaction lol
I can't seem to get past the logo/splash screen before the title menu. I downloaded from the torrent and tried to start it up as soon as I extracted the files, but I can't seem to get past the first screen. Anybody else have this issue or know how to get around it?
They always have done this, people just forgot about it:
Sexy Beach 2 -> 3 -> Zero?
Sexy Beach Premium Resort -> Honey Select -> PlayClub -> PlayHome
AIShoujo -> HoneySelect2 -> RoomGirl
Artificial Academy 1 -> Artificial Academy 2
Koikatsu -> Emotion Creators -> Koikatsu Sunshine
Install the update with the speed multiplier.

that's why I wrote "lazier"... at least in the previous titles they added new poses....the poses of this game are literally the same ones of hs2
You play it like The Sims game, just watch them doing mundane and boring interaction... and wait until the game either crashes or melted your GPU.
You have to raise stats for unlocking content like the room girl. How other mechanics like the red bar or how unique dialog are triggering are still an enigma and need a lot of patience.
Congratulations Illusion, for creating the Art House Film of Eroges
Everything is so obtuse and cinematic that its practically unplayable

Red bar fills when you do things like tire her out after sex then click "force awake" (or, amusingly, send her to bed and immediately click "force awake"). When the bar maxes out she peaces out and unregisters herself from the map (you can immediately stick her back in though).
I'm not sure if unlocks any positions, I managed to unlock 3P positions with the "bad friends" at about 50% red bar, but I don't know if it was actually the bar that did it or building up enough relationship with the two of them that unlocked it.
