Can anyone help me out with how I can unlock scenes/use saved version of others? Tried doing the walkthrough, its just too long. I've tried searching for steps on how to do it but whenever I copy the Saved file into my folder, nothing changes.Im not that experienced with these types of things so If anyone could write out a step by step guide or point me towards one, I'd greatly appreciate it.
RenPy games such as this have another save location besides your game folder. This is so that when you get a new version of the game, the game can automatically have saves from a previous version. That location is located in "C:\Users\{you user account name}\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\StraitenedTimes-{some random numbers}"
You can look at that folder and put the save into there to get a downloaded save to show up.
Edit:
Also for the most part, RenPy games are just point games and you don't need to follow the walk-through step by step. You just have to have enough points to be able reach certain levels of sex.
Specifically, for this game there are 3 types point that effect how you're treated by each character; "opinion", "conflict" and "allure" points. "Opinion" points are how well does a person know you/likes you. "Conflict" points are if the person is annoyed with you. "Desire" points are if the person want to do naughty things with you. The person needs to know and like you in order for them to want to do naughty things with you. In general, you're supposed to raise opinion points to the max which is "100" by talking about their interests. That's where a walk-through will be useful, to know what each person's interest are. "Conflict" are only used by the people living at the motel. The longer you stay/sleep in the same room with a specific person, the more "conflict" points you build up with your roommate. You lower conflict by swapping rooms (or by sleeping in your own room when you have enough money).
Let's talk about the basics with Mom-Lisa/Jill/Lily. One of the game-over conditions is if Lisa's opinion of you reaches 0.
Lisa starts with a fairly high opinion score. Jill starts with a medium amount. Lily starts with the lowest amount. As mention, you gain opinion by discussing the correct topics for each person. You also gain opinion for having meals with them. You gain more opinion if you pay for the meals. For Lisa, Jill and Lily (and also the maid) you can give money to gain opinion.
That means that you gain start gaining "allure" points the first night with Lisa. You start getting sex points with here by watching tv in bed with her and exercising together. Then by masterbaiting and letting her catch you. They by masterbaiting openly. Then by having her jerk you off. Then by grinding against her in bed until eventually you reach penetration. As you gain allure points, you open up new activities that gain you more points until you reach sex.
You just need the walk-through when you need a hint on how to get more points are where there are specific locking points in the story.
Personally, I find the sex much more interesting when you know how you got there, instead of just "unlocking" all the scenes by downloaded a full save.
The game is not hard or complicated. Just a lot of repetition which people that have been following along find annoying because every few versions you do want to start over because there will be changes to the early game.
