Looks like a bug. Is this problem appears only on that "map" or on any other too?
Yep, this is a problem, because we translating literal terms into emojis and sometimes it won't be as easy to translate it back. But we have a tester for that, he gets all emoji lines and gives us his interpretation of them. All he knows is the context, like "this message will appear when you click on fireflies in the inventory". If he can describe the line close enough, we put it to the game. But of course this method is not perfect, all people think differently. It's fun because sometimes players understood lines not as we wrote them and their interpretations are better than ours. I was delighted to see it, you create something and it becomes better just because someone has a sharper mind than you or just thinks differently.
i dont understand the stealth mini game, but i will give it a go
I KNOW. She has pointy bits to reinforce how dumb he's being to her, yet he's STILL a boob-addled idiot. At least they are back on speaking terms. Will not-so-shaggy Lee learn? Probably not--especially when he reunites with Tonya.
Use the arrows in the numeric keypad. If Octa don't look left use →. If Octa begin to look left use ↓ .
yeah i actually realized it, done the thing, really nice job.
1. I'm thinking about an alternative fishing minigame for a change. If I come up with the puzzle-like idea with easy implementation, we'll bring it in the game
Mix big fish with honey at the crafting screen and give her the result, it should do the trickdon't know what to do anymore i'm chapter 6 with progress 75% I have 2 and a half heart for the catgirl but excpet from giving her as a gift the special fish and giving her to eat honey..... 6 days and hearts don't progress and sometimes go down help pls thx
The easiest way is by seaweed. It can be found not only on the beach (there is only a 20% chance + luck modifier per day) but also caught on the lake (15% chance per fishing). The second and more common option is sleeping in the bungalow, as it increases health by 10 points per day.
Yep, this behavior isn't very clear and we need to work on it. We make it so each word has its difficulty value and "raining" teaching game is used on easiest words, but "puzzle" is used on all others. And we added "octa" word, it is the easiest word (as Octa herself should learn it one of the first). So Cat returned to that minigame for this word. We may change it in the future maybe even in the next update
If you tell me your progress marker (Alt+Shift+P), I can give you directions. Take a note of what Lee dreams about, it hints at what to do next

Yep, we plan to do rebalance pretty soon. I can't promise that the game will be an easy ride after that but we'll try to smoothen some hard-grind places.
I'm from gen X myself, and I may tell that emojis got a cold reception even at younger generations. Why? It's a lot of guesswork. But the main idea was to reach people that may not know any popular language or maybe can't read at all. And to sew that idea with the gameplay to make it look natural. And we succeed with that, for example, there were more than 150k downloads from Myanmar, and I think it's great even if it had no benefit for us.
There are guide hints, really. Maybe they're too subtle or players tend to skip them along with Lee's whining about water and food. But actually, Lee dreams about what to do next. Some dreams are on odd nights, some on even and important dreams he has every night. With this, we try to remind players what they need to do to progress.
By "translate it back" I mean the process of understanding the meaning of the phrase by the player, not by us.
1. Its a shame because I think the current implementation fits well thematically. The problem is that renpy limitations make it awkward to use (the two sliders). If you could instead control it entirely with the mouse (position determines direction, length of click determines strength) it would be a lot better. But also, you just need to do a fair bit of fishing because you need some of the random rewards (blue fish, pearls?). I suggest at the very least introducing a separate pearl diving minigame once those actually become important.1. I'm thinking about an alternative fishing minigame for a change.

2. Hm, you are right, we may do it, we'll discuss it!
3. Perhaps Lee doesn't see Cat as his girlfriend, but treats her like a pet, despite all the mutual love. In this respect, his attachment to Tonya may be higher than his relationship with either Cat or Octa.
4. That's a great idea! I can't promise it, but I wrote it down
