Chemmy i have one question...what you mean in your Walkthrough on 692 day,saturday when you say:
to be sure, go up and see if lisa/mom is in mc room and lil is in the girl's bathroom, skip to 23:00

23:00) go with them( who are them?), go to my room, rest and sleep, sleep till 8:00, either option, fuck it. i want to sleep

for me, i went up stairs to see if they were staying after dinner at stepfamilys house, which they did, then i skip to 23:00, they were leaving to go back to the motel, and i went with them, and back at the motel, go to your room and sleep

and for them, lisa/mom and lil, since jill was at work

Man, every time I come to this game. I have to unren it. And change that function the dev uses for random int that isn't random.

I get it. He wants, if you rollback, to get the same event no matter what. And you need to come back next day to try again.

But his random "seed" mechanism (I feel sick just typing that in) is just so bad and lobsided, that you get some events disproportionally more than others.

It's such an awful system. I can't comprehend why he keeps it. But then again, the code is awful too.

YET THE GAME IS SO GOOD! It really gets incest right.

Who doens't like 2000 randomly generated numbers stuffed into a list?

The random hrelease uses is wild. Then again the random renpy uses is persistent through rollbacks. Both are crazy to me.
When I first played through I decompiled, found all them in notepad++ then deleted the whole segment.

The code is creative. But they are married to Ren'Py 7 with Python 2.0, so they kind of have to be.

How do you get the court hearing scene with mom being helpful or neutral? Right now I can only get through Violet with mom agreeing to bury father.

You need to talk to the defense lawyer to help his case. Helping the cops is for the prosecution.

Are there any in-game hints on what to do to proceed with a specific character? I am currently stuck with a few different characters, but let's take the example of Kate. The only thing that looks like a hint source is the progress tab in the contacts on the phone, but everything there is "you are beyond that" or "drained", but I know there's actual sex with her and the most i got with her were blow jobs. There is a message "There may be more opportunities to raise sexual tension during Naughty Actions", but I have no idea what that refers to, I've tried to go wherever she all the time (with or without Lisa), and get nothing new. She has 100 relation and 102 allure(? sexually longing). Am I missing something again?

If you open the command console (Shift+O) and Type PDebug = True it will show hiding activities in the progress tab.

For Kate, try going to her room right after dinner when she's playing with her phone. Help her take photos. You will get a reward for your effort; it is a progress thing, so you have to do it a few times to get the good rewards. Another time to visit is at 8 am when she is in the bathroom. Ask to shower, she will wait out in the room. When you finish, she may jump into your arms for some more naughty actions.

To answer your first question, not yet. There are a couple of general walkthroughs, but none that have "You need X allure, Y opinion and have do to XYZ 24 times first" walkthroughs. I know of one that's in the works, but isn't public yet.

The phone guide:
Drained is good. It means you've done that action more times than it actively counts. Since most things have to be done around 3 times to progress, drained is what you want to see in the list.

"You are beyond that" means your allure is higher than that action dispenses allure for. Repeat the action until it says drained. You won't increase allure, but you still increase the counter which is what progresses activities with a given character.

"There may be more opportunities to raise sexual tension during Naughty Actions" is the general catch-all for future updates and untracked activities.

Actually, this new walkthrough is exactly that. It's linked as 'Walkthrough 2' in the OP.

EDIT: Well, it doesn't tell you exactly how many points of this and that you need, but that is irrelevant anyways. You just need to know where the scenes are that you have to grind through.

I think the aunt is bugged for new players. You cannot ask for rewards for photos if you haven't fucked her (MAunt.Fucked == 0), but I have checked the code and there's literally no place where MAunt.Fucked is changed from the default value of 0 (only MAunt.FuckedRaw is increased in some places, but you cannot reach those without MAunt.Fucked being already not 0).

Can anyone confirm that they completed the aunt content from a new playthrough on the latest version? Maybe I'm just reading the code wrong. Edit: figured it out finally, the first fuck was after taking the shower in the morning. Damn, this game is really frustrating some times.

It's mind boggling to get to some points of the story. Some events are RNG so if you don't use URM or one of the cheats ... it's just save scum :) But you of course need to know somehow that you need to do that, and the current guide build in is so vague that people often need to play this game with cheats to somewhat enjoy of the playing it.
Or like you to dig hour or so in the code, to find something that the dev thought is fun way to start everything else :D
I like the game idea, but it's kind of annoying that devs cannot just write the damn guide how to get the progressing in the game.

The individual increments were changed to a class method. Follow MAunt.SetJustFucked() to PersonClass.rpy and you'll find def SetJustFucked(). Still a ton of other class attributes being incremented in the labels though... The "c" in "Straitened Times" stands for consistency.
