Ok how the fuck do you get Val's relationship points from 2 to 4? That's what's holding me back and this has been stuck for fucking ever. This is with the latest upload too. Last time I had desire up over 80 and feelings were still at 2.

I'm starting to think the problem is this is coded so you have to do everything in a specific order and if you don't you murk the game.

I fully agree as in the changelog the dev even says they'd noticed people stuck on 95% with having all stage one missions done however in the stage one gallery that should also be able to have done at 100% since stage two is now active however myself and possibly others have two images in the stage one gallery still as locked. For my relationship with Val has been stuck on -2 on relationship points which means on the weekend she showed up randomly I messed up a choice to get it in the positive numbers.

Just when I was ready to use the urm last night to see content it started progressing. Now I am waiting for further progress during breakfast, and whatever "watch them" is that opens the fourth option in the bath to fantasize about both.

You talking about stage one gallery pg2 the bottom two? Those are still blank for me. My last run I was at like 160% I think on stage 1 and they were still missing.

I have two observations:
1.It's useless on several levels
2.If you choose Look TV, Rayne never sleeps.
And I think it's too early for porn movie.
You would have:
Romantic, Comedy, Documentary, Horror.

18 hours ago today Stiffman send this on ITCH :
"

Hey Everyone! So it has been a trying 2 weeks. I am back up and running at about 90 percent now with the new parts for the computer. Things seems to be going faster and now, I have the time to actually sit down and work on the ongoing issues with Secrets. I have already started making a changelog for the next update due out soon. Here are the details so far:


FIXED:


  • gallery closing improperly causing error after viewing quests
  • upon opening the info screen - then hitting gallery caused hints to stay on main screen
  • Navigation does not re-appear when exiting gallery from info screens
  • When exiting before the 11th day, Rayne says "I have to wait a few days before I can go out" - this would trigger the wrond screen, but now shows the proper entrance screen
  • Fixed changing into clothes that would keep repeating if chosen casual clothing instead of sleeping clothing.
  • fixed map screen error with entering Val's home before Val comes and introduces herself to Rayne
  • When giving a flirt 3 times, would reset Angela's desire and feelings back to 0. Fixed
  • Fixed image for Stage One Quest Info Menu
  • After Angela allows Rayne to see her in the shower, Angela's numbers went back to zero. No longer happens.
  • Fixed Mari's park action where it would cause the game to crash upon entering the map screen

ADDED:


  • Added Tips in Gallery Locked Boxes for each quest needed to complete.
  • Added item during snoop in guestroom
  • Added flirting action before movie scenes in stage 1
  • Added new scene during arcade sequence (Thanks to someone... You know who you are.)
  • Added a new nap sequence in stage 2
  • Added new sequence on Sundays, during breakfast, since that seemed to be causing too much repetitions.

Much more coming soon for this game. It is a tedious undertaking resetting the game and going through each step, and the codes paragraphs. Thank you all for your patronage and patience! I appreciate it tremendously."

Wich means === > new update is coming soon ....

Getting so tied of this, This is supposed to be a "SANDBOX" game!
Yet you HAVE to do the quest in CERTAIN ORDER or you WILL get "Soft-Locked" and be unable to complete other quests.
So please either Let us know in which order we need to complete the quests, or make the game into a linier novel
or fix the Soft-Locks.

I fully agree. Someone was posting a "workaround" for this but I can't confim that it works because I didn't play the latest version yet and feels like better to wait for that "update coming soon..." from Stiffman send on ITCH.
If not this game needs a proper hint option so we don't mess up unknowingly insted of constantly having to check and guess our progress via those stage 1-2 quests.

This works for me ,
in stage one prioritize these quests in this order for 100%
a) Photo
b) Dinner
c) Movie
It's not easy, but it works

Hopefully the required order is removed completely. If it's going to be open choice like it is you can't do that shit. Or just go back to VN, which by the way LOL at the easiest level being "like a vn" that was worth a laugh.

Hi all,
These scenes are from the Patreon page,
and I believe "Might" be in the Game (Version 0.2.2B).
Buying a Bikini; (Posted 22 Feb)

Caught in the shower (Posted 8 March)
SOF-v2-2B(Tb).jpg

My questions are:-
a) Have you done the scenes?
And if so
b) From which quest-line are they from?
c) Did you do them Before or After being invited to the Gym?
And
d) Which version are you playing ( any hacks mods being used)

I've got the bikini and had the first maybe two scenes at the pool, but haven't seen anything that would indicate them in the shower together. Didn't know it was even a possibility until I saw this. Last hint I have for the gym is to keep going and eventually she'll "train me" I think those were the words but it's been stuck on that for a while now. Another bump in the road, so surprising.

In the Gym after "don't accept excuses" I couldn't progress in the game. I did not encounter the scene" Caught in the shower"

Thanks,
So it seems like we (I) got a "Soft-lock",
I've been to the pool twenty times (Morning) but the only options (in the Afternoon) I get are:-
"Leave them alone" or "Stay"(which will result in them ask me to leave):(

I can't promise anything but if I remember correctly I stayed in the house on stage 2 up to around 12-14%, then I was still frustrated with the pool scenes so I jumped into that, went as far as I could then had to go back for the kitchen and school scenes, can't recall which of these I did first but after that I finally saw the bikini, and was invited to stay with them by the pool. As far as the gym scenes I can't say much, before the last time I played I hadn't even noticed the separate icon and just kept checking the at home gym.

That where Angela allows you to see her in the shower, I don't think I've seen that and like I said definitely haven't seen them in the shower together.

My most recent "lock" is it's telling me to keep going to the gym, eventually Val will train you whatever that means.

The other is when Rayne takes a bath in the afternoon she can fantasize about either of them, but I saw the hidden option with the mod to fantasize about both. Needs "watched them" which I assumed would've been the afternoon pool scene where you watch them make out but I saw that one countless times too and it didn't change anything I noticed.

Also I have been waiting for progress with breakfast but all I get it is burnt food every time. Have asked for Val's second photo many many times but haven't gotten it.

I did see in the gym "don't accept her apology" if that's what was meant by don't accept excuses.

I use 0x52's universal mod to check variables if you're wondering.

Woah I must have missed the shower scene image on my Patreon. First I've seen. Yummy.

You need to visit Val at home in the morning when she is sitting on the floor. You will talk about photos that they send to each other. After that, she will be allowed to join them at the pool.

Other question. Have you unlocked all the images? I still have some that are locked. :unsure:

Did someone managed to unlock all gallery? I've so many locked spots and turning around after gym (Val ask to send her a pics) and breakfast.
Also Val asked us to meet Lynn but can't get to the arcade...
I'm stage 1: 101% and stage2: 32%
This would be a great VN without all those sandbox clanky mechanics ngl

YES!!
That it !,
Following your post, I loaded my stage One 100% save, triggered Stage Two,
then avoided Val for about 5 weeks, Yoga on SAT mornings and Laundry on Sundays
Then did the school quest, then helped Val in the morning kitchen quest,
went back to school in the afternoon (Flirt Quest), then back to Val's in the morning (Photo Quest)
Did Yoga on the following Saturday and on Sunday when to see Val at the pool in the Morning ,
Where I got a new option to ask Val for another selfie (Pool quest DONE!!)
[Made a save at this point in case anyone wants it]
Just needed to go to the pool in the afternoon a few times to get the bikini and trigger the "Gym".

Thank you very much for your help.

(on a side note I loaded my old save and did yoga for four weeks then went to the pool on Sunday,
But did not get the option to ask for a new selfie, Guess that save is dead (Soft-Locked) )
(No mod used)
