I think it's just because the VN is so old. It would need rebuilding from the ground up just to fully fix it.

Tried using CD install instead located on Page 2, and yup, same problem as when I found an alt version earlier. Loads extremely fucking slow, practically lose control of all functions when I click through dialogue, because everything loads so slow. lol how is a game this poorly optimized for new OS's when the digital version is supposed to be run on newer stuff?

Oh well, old ass game and I no longer care. Good or not it isn't worth all this time I wasted just trying to make it work.

I once read that those issues had something to do with the audio files, and simply disabling the music(?) would resolve it, iirc. Voice files should work file, I believe. Regardless,newer OSs apparently have issues playing old audio formats out of the box.

It's a good, classic VN, but I respect your choice. I understand completely. One shouldn't have to jump through a bunch of hoops or deal with a other hassles to simply get a game to run--be it simple VNs or Trip-A titles. I abhor those types of issues, and have done the same as you for other games myself.

The download edition don't have problems with the audio on newer versions of Windows. It's in mp3 format, not Audio CD or MIDI like in the CD version. Also, no lag in the download edition compared to the CD one in some cases. I think the problem with the music was in the missing disk 2(the audio CD). That's why people had to disable music in some old downloads. Only the MIDI files were available, if I remember correctly.
I personally don't have problems with the download edition. Tried the game on 2 different PCs. All CGs are working and no black screens. So, the problem could be in the PC, not the game.

Without even having to look I still remember how to get many of the routes including some of those tricky Ayumi ones. (You need to throw her to the wolves on some paths...) Some of those "good" and "best" endings of characters feel reversed at times, but it's all good fun! As you say, lots of fond memories here.

Again, I want to reiterate to those who haven't yet tried this wonderful game. You just got to try it! There's a reason why it's considered a classic and why many players have fond memories of the game. It has a well-built story which is accompanied by good art and voice acting; albeit, some choices only become clear after the fact, but the game includes a wide variety of endings that goes from fairly dark ones to extremely romantic ones so playing the game over again doesn't feel like a chore anyway. You'll laugh; you'll cry; you'll be shocked; but it's all good. Great stuff here! Personally, I think it held up pretty well considering the game was developed in the 90s. Yeah, it originally came out in the last century, lol.

Put simply, if you have never experienced the joy of playing this game before, then go play it now! Oh, and we love you.
You can still get all endings without throwing her to wolves...though you have to be a dog still. Thanks for the great post was indeed a joy to play. Just 3 days and your choices really change the dialogues as you go not just endings so even with so many ending there is no grind. I also like how Best ending is for MC and Good ending is for the girl. I much prefer the good ending for most of them.

Actually that rape scene can be easily considered NTR even in Japan as protag does care about girl. And there is also a female/female scene with similiar outcome. Details are pointless cuz here it would be considered strong NTR if it was done in any modern western game. Still, great game.
I called it NTR rape but it isn't really as in both scenes the player has choice if it happens. Three conditions for NTR 1)MC love interest (usual misunderstanding here is when a MC gets hots for someone else's love interest then cries NTR because she cheats with you and doesn't leave original love interest). 2) any jealousy emoting content (this one is in fact most misunderstood even a love interest that flirtatious with other characters is NTR. 3)no control over content by MC direct actions (so if MC can walk in and stop its not NTR but if say your choosing to cheat earlier in game leads to love interest cheating it is NTR or if not going out will prevent a rape of love interest its still NTR.)

Where can I find the download version? I downloaded this game once(not from here) and I ran into the lag issues a lot of people have reported, which I imagine is because I'm on Windows 10. I really want to try this game, but playing that version is just way too frustrating. If the download version really does work better on newer OS, I'd like to give it a try.
