Coming up on the one-year anniversary for this. I'm still holding out hope for what this game could be SOMEDAY, because the art style is cute and I like a couple of the girls, esp the neighbor even though she's got some kind of mental problems and does not act like an adult at all, but right now it's basically devoid of content. It has like a million pointless features nobody cares about, a stupid unplayable little DDR game, several other barely-functioning minigames, an affection/lust system that barely does anything, the option to hug the girls which really does nothing, the weird randomized name system, MC stats even though so far into it I don't think anything is a stat check, a hygiene metric, although it has so little content you can probably do everything it has to offer before your hygiene meter runs all the way down, classes at the school that so far lead to very little content, I can keep going.

It's buggy, the writing is atrocious, and the dev just keeps. On. Adding. More. Stupid. Pointless. Features. I've been a Patron for like 6 months at least and every fucking time I check for an update he's promising content and then the "content" is like a 5-second long scene with nothing interesting going on but for some reason there are a bunch of dumbass features added. He says it's gonna be focused on content now, as has been mentioned, but I'll probably check it in August and it'll turn out that he, like, added a dozen clubs at the school and you need to join one and have a club session each day which builds "club points" with a distant, barely-thought-out plan to make it possible to get enough club points that you become club president and have a harem when the project is completed in like 20 years. Anyway, it's officially a problem at this point. What's he thinking?
I want to call back to my last reply here to note that the idiotic school council idea is SUPER close to my joke prediction here about the dev adding clubs. This is on a short path to being an irredeemable dumpster fire. Monthly updates are nice, but all of the updates add literally nothing of interest. I was so excited about this game when I saw the art, but the dev has absolutely no writing skill or sense of focus whatsoever. Nothing that happens is enjoyable at all or makes any sense. It's incredibly amateurish. If anything, he needs to hire a writer and/or use some more volunteer ideas and, more importantly hire a coder. He has absolutely no coding talent and this story has no direction after over a year in development. It's getting bogged down more and more by adding minigames nobody wants to play (minigame activity should be VERY light in these games, especially during H-scenes— we are here to fap. Don't you even play H games??? Plus your minigames are ASS anyway) and even at this still-inappropriately-early-in-development stage of the game, the updates are increasingly devoted to fixing the completely broken minigames that nobody asked for. When is there going to be porn? When does the game start?

He wrote a check he couldn't cash by starting the game out with multiple titty shots. I believe the majority of updates this year have added a pantyshot at most, usually just featuring one of the schoolgirl characters who are underdeveloped and boring, which I don't understand when the game seems to advertise an incest/girl-next-door focus from the start. Any escalation that occurs in the relationships has no sense of realism or subtlety. Out of nowhere the clumsy girl, which is her only character trait, now masturbates during a tutoring session with you because she's super into... how good you are at school, I guess. Before that, as I recall, in her one previous scene she couldn't even make eye contact with you because she was too bashful and nervous. Now she's already flicking the bean under the desk while sitting inches away from you. Can something in this game be good for once? Just one time, after over a year? Anyway, all the wasted potential!!! The guy has excellent art, the chibi style is eyecatching and cute without sacrificing sex appeal, even on characters with more "mature" body types. Pretty much everything looks great, it's just the wrong content. Maybe someday he'll collab with writers/programmers with a better vision of what an adult game should be.

i dont find that ahhh sound for tyext annoying, sure an option to disable would cool but still

what i find absolute dog pee are the mini games, dancing for example... you hit one you get 2 points you miss 2 you are suddenly going from 2 positive points to -120 or something like that

for fun i missed on purpose also to see if i was supposed to fail and maybe there was a scene where mc falls and they end up on the floor rubbing one out or something but no i went down to -20k

and the arrows have like no hitbox, they have to be perfectly inside the box, if 1mm is above the circle it counts as a fail

its fucking insane

how did dev even think that would work? this isnt hard, this impossible

i did the yoga mini game and after quick loading like 4 times i found that it works to push pain to the limit more and more slowly until both pain and stretching are like at 90 and in the last few seconds of cooldown usually 2 seconds i just press it to max and hope for the best

idk if there is a way im supposed to do it but thats what worked

like other said as soon you reach the school the game just stops. no progress. i have spammed hugs and trained a lot while checking all characters if they want to do something or talk about something but no one has anything, just very few non sex scenes like that girl lolipop in boobs or the dude looking at girls underpants from a reflection

idk how to make money, school council of snitching doesn't do anything (figured out now, but money do be useless other that the grocery thing at the start. thats it)

at least as far as i played, im going to guess there is content, a little of content when i unlock swimming or something else but god its slow. just remove school, and introduce 1 or 2 characters trough the sister like they are friends that come visit us, idk fr example the lolipop paizuri girl that gave me huge boners just saying no reason why i choose her

and after a few updates that add content, add the school. what use is there to a wallmart that has only 2 producs? better to have a small shop at the start that has the small room full of things to look at and buy, you cant walk much but you can do a lot in there.

and when the room requires more space, only then you size it up. its just wasting time and money. people be playing 1 or 2 hours and get no progress because they do little of this little of that in school little of ecc

game might look cool but dev has to stop and decide 1 route to follow, like family porn. the house, get more things to do, more chores more options

thats all i have to say.
Yeah, its a fucking porn game and porn is the last thing that u find here lmao, i preffer have like 1-2 months no update but FUCKING PORN IN A FUCKIN PORNGAME

Honestly, the game feels like it's suffering from a really bad lack of focus. The tutoring minigame is nice and all, especially with the Live2D animation, but it honestly doesn't really add much to the game other than bloating it with more minigames that ultimately amount to chore work. Little options and daily events where you can build relationship points with characters, as well as lewd options that can open up over time, would go a long way and would require way less trouble to code in.

Could probably get someone else to handle it, too. Would mean the dev can focus hard on the art, too, which I'd argue is the biggest draw right now.

It's hard for the wrong reasons.
its hard cause its jank not because of the chart
It's both. Not only is the chart just random inputs, but the game also expects pixel-perfect button presses for every one of them. There's no safety net for missing the arrows by a few pixels, and along with the musical dissonance, that just makes for a completely garbage minigame.

Not worth the time, i'll check back in about.. Two years, or such. Given the rate of content, there should be half a boob by that point.

That post is a mod for reading text faster though? Dude you're quoting was asking for a way to mute the text.
Not to speed it up.

And honestly, I agree 100%. The dialogue text is loud as fuck. And there is no way to mute it specifically without muting the whole game.

The text is basically instant and basically muted due to it. The mod was created for this game specifically, give it a go.

According to the preview for the newest Patreon post, the dev's reworking some of the in-game sprites. I'm a little curious to see to what extent he's updating them. Maybe some characters are a little more unique?

Hello i've downloaded the latest version of the game, started a new game, i have never played before.

i've installed the #23(mod) post mentioned mod, to avoid hearing the annoying sound when the game text is being displayed.

I've entered the school did some progress then when i reach this page the game no longer accepts inputs, it seems to be freeze, the music still playing but no matter what input i press (mouse or keyboard) it has no effect.

I have no clue how to progress forward, if anyone could help me out i would greatly appreciate.
