Yeah, the damage control of this game is utterly sinkable. It's like the guy has never run his game once to read each line properly.
That the sisters' names are still mixed up after three months of release is a criminal offense.
I really, really want to like this game as the females and even partly the interiors are well done.

If someone is too lazy to fix the mistakes oneself, you can put my script.rpy to the game's folder and replace the original one, after making a backup of the original file.
My fixes:
- sisters' name mixup
- phone text image pauses increased
- nataly "So, [player_name], are you popular in high school too?..."
- tara "...believe Lana convinced you to come with me..."
- undefz "Where's Lana? You must be her cutie little [lalu_to_mc], right?"
- changed character name label colors to my liking. Copy & Paste the original ones over if you don't like them.

A pity the dev is no lurker here. Maybe someone can pass these mistakes on.
These script.rpy files become obviously obsolete with the next update, but I will most likely continue with my fixes as I won't give up on this game that easily.

I definitely wouldn't have named them Luna and Laura. Too easy to mix up which is which. LoL. Thanks for the fix!

I could have added additional name inputs, but that could risk savegame compatibility when someone wants to play on without my script.rpy changes. I don't mind the these names so much, and it's pretty easy to edit them on top of the script.rpy file content oneself anytime.
I've just tested my last save by replacing my fixes with the original script what loaded fine, so there should be no trouble playing without my fixes on when the next update hits.

I get that. I don't think you need to make a way to change their names. I'm talking about the Dev himself/herself. If I made a game, I wouldn't want to make two characters with so close names. Especially if they are major characters. It is too easy to miss-name one with the other's name and so on.

In the relationship setup, I said Lana and Luna were MC's sisters, so when all the relationships are done, it says "MC is Lana and Luna's sister, right?" Uggh. After two tries, I just said "yeah, whatever."

As far as the dialogue goes, the dev could definitely benefit from a native English speaker sorting out the dialogue. It's not so much stilted as it is the obvious work of someone who doesn't speak English very well. I'm trying to just roll with it, but it's painful.

The dev only being reachable via Patreon throws up a lot of red flags, not the least of which being that their account probably won't exist by the end of the year with the type of content they're making. Patreon has a pattern of suddenly implementing zero tolerance policies to loopholes and workarounds to their taboo content creation guidelines. It's only a matter of time before they decide this loophole is no longer acceptable too.

The kind of feedback this project desperately needs to improve enough to lure supporters not being the type people are going to be willing to back a creator to give is also going to be a huge roadblock to this project gaining any traction with the dev only being reachable through Patreon, too.

It looks like it could be interesting, or at least provide an amusing enough distraction, so it coming out the gate looking like an imminently abandoned project doesn't bode well

Seriously brother, change the sisters' names to Lana and Susan, maybe you can keep them straight that way. Or make one a different race, like an orc or something.
