This is going to be an absolutely stupid question, so feel free to mock me for it, as long as you also answer it; is there any way to turn off the real porn without needing to delete the folder that contain the images? I don't need replacement images or anything, I'm perfectly okay with just text.

Apparently other people dont seem to have this issue, but after grinding through the charging of the app, I attempt to "use the app" on someone and I leave it at it's default charge of 5, hit "continue" but nothing shows up on the page save a picture of the person and " You feel your phone hum slightly in your hand as the app spins up". No links, no options, no where to go with this. Have to use the back button to back out of scene.
Also, you choose your name in the beginning but it doesnt carry through, people still refer to mc as "Jacob" throughout game.

Does the app fail on everyone or one specific person every time? I've had the app fail like that on the 'sister' when trying to use it on her after the bathroom scene.
As for the name thing, change it after setting all other options and it'll stick.
isnt wvm a vn? where you kinda get walls of useless texts you just skip. "who wants those! they should go die"
if grinding (to gain stats,points,etc i call it 'datesim grind'. ) exist in sandboxes - it is rarely a problem (u just tweak such thingies )
some semi-grinding may exist - lets say when quest tasks requires repetition. but it depends.
if the content go further, then technically it is just a chain step with progression, which doesnot constitute a grind (but it could resemble it, that is why 'semi-grinding' . some rng things also can fall within this category as you have to repeat some correct moves to finally trigger something)
only if you have a task to do smth X times and you see no changes whatsoever until the next step is unlocked - that will be a grind (which occasionally happens in some sandboxes)

not sure if i played that bugfix version, probably the one before ...yet the comments
tips related
tips - gial from your house (sister?) dissapears from the menu after kitchen quest-talks, forgot if that was End of Content.
jessica - I should spend some time in my office working on publishing some papers. i think nothing changed. (could it be EoC, just dont remember anything significant happened besides text dialogues)
...can tips be made not hidden? as of now it is extra clicks (and qol in sandboxes is often about minimizing such) ...ideally id want to have tips always infront of my eyes (meaning, without entering any menu like 'guide')
(not sure what exactly to suggest... i. could there be an option to keep em shown on the left menu ...so saves+patreon buttons will go somewhere below/down, and time will go to the top ? might be with smaller font? *maybe not all of them - as completed ones (or the ones u remember)will just take space meaning that is where hiding some will be useful. ii. or some 'phone' which would allow to keep it open in some menu (like some annoying internet pop-up advertisments) when moving/traveling - there is a free space on the bottom ...and when there is dialogues - you likely to scroll text down so you shouldnot miss texts because of that i think.
navigation
i saw a shortcut from home to the uni ...but in the uni i felt like i need too many clicks to go from mc office to hall and classroom area (where aj and other girl[alex?] were) ...so id suggest better uni navigation (like from any area to any area)

This is a pirating site. Toxic behaviour to devs is literally what we do here. We steal their content and give it to others for free.
And expecting people who release a product to have a working product is not toxic behaviour, it is the absolute minimum of standards
Minor bug, if you visit Romi's room at night there's no way to leave on the main game interface like with other people. The work around is as easy as using the back arrow on the left panel of course, but it seems like a dotting the i's, crossing the t's sort of error you'd still want pointed out.
I also agree that navigation needs some sort of workshopping sooner rather than later. Aside from the matter of number of button presses between the three main areas the protag goes to, I'm sure you're intending to use empty spaces eventually but especially now before you've developed a lot of the other quality of life stuff players are going to do things like search every room to see if there is a person or event in them. The existence of those spaces make them Chekhov's guns, and we're constantly going to be asking if the scenes where they are used are written or unlocked yet. As a suggestion maybe give some excuse like the dean is taking security seriously and outside of your initial tour only faculty and students with a need to use the facilities of a certain department can access them. Then the art department is 'locked' or greyed out and un-navigable until a plotline takes you there and either someone with access lets you in, you lift some keys from the dean or her office, or you hack the network and give yourself card access to give players the feeling like they've earned access without players spending 60+% of their time in your game wandering around instead of reading text or playing minigames.

Another potential bug. After 3 "hypno" levels, Elliot can only have the app used on him. even at 100%, your charge is used. No matter what time of day I go to him, I can't "progress" him. I still have the Jessica black screen as well.
Newest bugfix fixed the Jessica path so that appears to have gone forward as planned. Not sure if there's any way to progress Romi/Elliot any further this version, however. The Guide does say I should talk to them, but when I do so (both at the house in the evenings, or Elliott at school or Romi at the store during the day) there doesn't appear to be anything advancing the story.

I started a new game, for no particular reason started charging the app only in my office, and now it seems to work for everyone except India. Still no "continue" button
I look forward to enjoying this game more when the bugs are fixed.
Some amateur advice(the worst kind): You might want to include a reset feature where you can reset a person's variables to the beginning of their current level. Sometimes it lets a user fix their own bugs. Also makes bug hunting easier since methodical people can replicate the problem.

Same bug as others not being able to use app on (step)mother for example.
Edit: Restarting and NOT changing there names helped!
Edit edit: The Blue/White/Grey/Green bla bla test could be a huge problem for colorblind people so u might wanna change that a bit
Other than that i like the concept and game so far!

I've been helping the dev with proof reading off the thread here.
Look at the game guide to see how to progress an NPC. One thing I've noticed is that time and location can affect whether using the app will have an effect. The guide for the sister drops out after a few stages so you will need to either play it by ear or throw things into Twine to poke around for her progression later on. If you don't know what Twine is, wait until an update fleshes things out better.
The hypnotizing is a two stage process in most cases. First there's attunement where you spend charge and should see a percent progress indicator at the bottom of the resulting passage. The next stage (usually same time/location later day) changes the "use app" link to "move things along". An exception is Jessica, where you want to "app" her in the teachers lounge and then got back to your office to "call in jessica" for stage 2. You can zap her in the morining and then progress things the same afternoon on weekdays with her.
Charging will be low reward until you meet and talk to your nephew Elliot. Now there will be a new computer option to learn coding after that. Progressing that will increase the max charge increase possible from the charging game.
The dev puts a default value of "5" into the text gadget when you use the app on an NPC. If you have less charge than that, it won't work. You can also put the full amount of charge in there instead. If it takes less than the full amount of charge, the surplus will be put back on the phone after setting their attunement to 100%.
Impatient console jockeys can just fiddle with SugarCube.State.variables.charge if you get tired of grinding. There is however a new NPC introduced after MC has reached a certain point in the coding game.

There's an issue if you change the names of characters it makes it so that when you attune them the option to continue doesn't appear confirmed with Karlee, India and AJ,

I wondered if that was the cause, hadn't restarted to find out though.
Edit: can confirm, restarted and made no name or relationship changes and progressed past the scene I was locked on. Easy enough work-around

Have at least 20 charge on the phone and visit the bathroom on Thurs morning. This is one of those cases where you have an "emergency" hypnotizing and don't go through the normal attune/progress staging.
Ok tried that had well over 20 currently at 140 but no "Emergency" hypnotize option has shone up. Also I can't get any movement on Jessica I keep doing Papers but only get the same conversation & that same one any time I talk to her in the teachers lounge
