The only way you can get a bit stronger before the ability tree gets unlocked is to pick one of the cocktails in the strip club.
I played this game a good amount, and I'm very impressed by it, a lot of it was very fun and very engaging. However, there's a few frustrating QoL issues that drag things down far more than they need to be
The replay feature to stop from missing things is great, at least as an idea. In practice it makes things kind'a annoying since you never know which parts fail if you progress the story when, and when you go back to replay, you can't save and you can't look back at the flowchart without abandoning your progress through that segment.
The idea of it is great, but perhaps a visual indication of when a quest/investigation is going to fail would be good, or even a prompt "If you talk to Marcus this chapter will end and every outstanding quest will fail" etc.
Similarly, replaying is a hassle because (either I'm too dumb to find out how to do it, or) there's no way to skip dialogue. I wouldn't have minded replaying scenes if there was a way to just Ctrl through all the dialogue in a second, I've read it already, watching every scene play out as I've already seen it is annoying.
I don't find the battle system very engaging, it feels very luck based which is annoying. This might get better as there's more of a sense of progression and power later.
And ultimately, I think this will be contentious, but I never particularly enjoyed pixel hunting in the old Adventure games, and it's no more engaging here. When I see I've missed a scene, and I go back to replay it, that basically just amounts to going through each location I've got access to and swabbing my cursor over everything on screen to see what I've missed and where it lights up. The one I did most recently, "Plumbing Expert" for example, just going around seeing what lit up, "Diappearance" before that, the clue is so vague and it all just amounted to "Oh I didn't see this poster."
The remake of Day of the Tentacle lets you hold a button to highlight all the interactable spaces on the screen, it's borderline cheating but it makes the game MUCH more playable and lets you enjoy the story, while still solving the puzzles without ever wondering if the roadblock you're stuck on is "Did I not pixel scrub hard enough?". You've already got that in game for exits, I would highly suggest doing the same for everything. I can understand that it would make things easier, but the current implementation isn't hard so much as tedious. If you wanted to disable it in Investigation Mode, that's probably reasonable, but in general gameplay I think that'd be a great improvement.
As is, it's a really enjoyable game that I don't want to keep playing right now.

Thank you all for your feedback and encouragement. We'll be looking at all of this and sorting through it to improve Sunrise.
Le combat est encore aléatoire pour coller au fait que le personnage principal n'est pas encore très bon. Mais plus le jeu va avancer, plus des options se débloqueront pour personnaliser son deck, apprendre des techniques, etc...
EN/ We are a team of two French ^^
The combat is still random to fit the fact that the main character is not very good yet. But the more the game will progress, the more options will be unlocked to customize your deck, learn skills, etc...
Based on the feedback, we will see how to extend the system that indicates location changes to interactive elements but with our tight schedule this will not be for the next version.
Just to clarify, about the dialogs skip, you can use CTRL. Doesn't it work for you or is it not fast enough?

Version 0.7.0 has added several improvements to the replay system making it much more enjoyable. More improvements are planned (like some of the ones you mention) for the next versions and we will continue to listen to community feedback in order to make it as smooth as possible. We are convinced that this system is better than having multiple saves and will continue to improve it as we go along.

It wasn't working for me, or maybe it was because I was using LeftCtrl, does skip only work with RightCtrl? Either way, if there is a dialogue skip then that helps a lot and you can ignore that feedback, I'll keep an eye out for it the next time I play.

Version 0.7.1 is coming along very well. As a reminder, the next version will focus mostly on story and will include some illustrations, but it will not be a major release. We prefer to ensure a December release that neatly finish two personal stories.
On the production side, we have finished writing all the dialogue that will conclude the investigation and the first chapter of Clover's story. On the art side, the illustrations are coming along very well, and we can't wait for you to see them.
If you have played version 0.7.0b, don't hesitate to give us your feedback here or on

So I've gotten everything else but somehow I am still missing something...Prologue Part 3 - Ladies Man. How in the world do I get this?
I love the concept of this game for sure, even without the sex stuff. Just as a game itself. It still needs some work and is obviously an early/production based game but that is made clear and the creators appear to be very active and positive about their project so high hopes. If I ever get the funding to back people regularly again you'll be on the list.

You must find elements in the background to repair the pipe on the right.
Thank you! For "The ladies' man", you need to make a perfect date (100%) with Ellen.

any instant txt skipping. (like renpy way? tried to hold usual buttons and combos but no luck. so i assume none. which is auto-disqualifing)
also no minigames skipping? why ui isnot working during dialogues (like cannot save etc)

many thanks, is there any way for returning players to skip faster thru the game or like a cheat mod?
