This Visual Novel is great I love the story and the progression but I have trouble understanding the philosophy of this game: how many times do you have to play and replay the same scenes in order to be able to complete the level? Someone to help me?
its a lot, maybe around 40 times i think - so sit back, take some Cola or Beer and dont touch your dick 1 hour at least ;] :D oh and dont play now, cus after he rework all, i think must be start over again, not sure

shit 40 times is a lot, fast mode is still ok? Is there a counter or something to know how many times it remains? does the rework game available now ? anyway, thanks a lot for the info, very nyce (and i prefer beer too much sugar in cola...;))

That's why I made easy mode on it :) So, you only need to empty the beer half way :)
The new update... Well.. Yes, you are gonna have to replay the game as the UI as been changed, and other errors have been fixed that make the game make more sense.

Version F seems to work good but there is an error : impossible to open Angela's message to get the message she send...

I got the game from itch.io page (10$) and just wondering how do you unlock or know you are at stage 2?
Because during my first (I admit on easy and fast playthrough) I got the feeling I were on stage 2 in some parts of the game as I've seen pics/story that I did not see before and yet, some things like the "massage" on the couch that req s2 (that I did not get to unlock or how to do so) and so on.

Maybe playing on Normal (or higher) adds more content or the difficulties are just how muh grind you will have to do?
Knowing it was stated somewhere in the startup. Because on Easy I did not do a single minigame.

Thanks in advace! /A supporter of the project.

I bought the game on itch io, and honestly, apart from the change in UI, I haven't seen much changes from previous versions, the grind is still the same, and for some reasons, I never got the mini game, even though the playtime quest si said to be completed.

Restarting only felt like a waste of time.

Are you playing Mac version? I ask because mini-games don't trigger for me either and I play the Mac version.

those are most probably the minigame scenes, but since they don't trigger it's impossible to have them.

Sven, where can I find the perfectly-coded games you've made? Good grief.

Thezaner, I'm excited for the next update whenever you can get it done. Good luck with the bugs — I know that's been a headache for you. I wish I could help but I don't know anything about coding. :/

As of right now, I am working on getting the grind down a lot. As well, now I have been talking to a few other game devs, who say they love the game, but... This would help, that would help... and do this... so on and on... I have been working on adding more content as well as streamlining the grind down. I have also taken a week off from this project, hence no real update yet.

I am posting the newest fix on itch, ss, and patreon tonight.

As far as the games not triggering, it might be because of the recent update I did to the code. I am also fixing that error. It seems to work for others, and some not so well. As I streamline, I will also be fixing the MAC issue, which should help the gamers out there to trigger game scenes.

The missing images in the gallery might also be because once stage 2 is started, the game stops thinking about stage 1 and continue to stage 2 variables. Stage 2 also does not have the new photoshoot event, until I upload it tonight. I have also hidden some new events around the house.

Thanks for all the support. And even you, Sven.
