Is there squirting?
So the line when Ren returns home when Yui says "I just got off the streets" wasn't an english error but a hint that she's a prostitute?
Daamn, that would be crazy to hint like that) No, its just my bad english
Was Yui really not a virgin?
I thought about it, but decided to make her a little more "mature"
But there will be at least 2 virgin characters (and scenes)
i have a bug where i cant progress with aoi storyline inorder to progress with mia and invite all the girls to the beach
What does aoi hint says?
What should i do?
I like your game
Thank you)
how to i call all girl's to the beach?i stuck help me pls
Complete their stories
How do you get Yui lust up? Ive gone through her study and its not giving me anything at all. I've reloaded the save and tried on different scenerios.
I've been stuck at 10 lust and can't get it to go up at all.
Help her with math at evening
I've done that. After I do it the first time it doesn't give me any +1 on lust at all.
How many times do I download different updates, it says the same thing, wait in the next updates How to play the full version on Android, you have to buy itIt seems that I downloaded the twenty-second version, but still writes a continuation in the next updates
Each update adds several quests/scenes to different characters. Its impossible to add everything in one time
It turns out the game is so fresh, it seems like there are a lot of updates but there’s really no content right
All content that is in the game was released during the same updates every two weeks for a little less than a year. I believe that if you play once every two or three updates, it will be enough for you.
Replayed since it had been a while since I last played. As nice as MC and Mia are together I kind of like the dynamic between him and Sina a little bit more. Not that it really matters since it's a harem game, but still. Poor Sophia though, will be glad to see her getting another chance at things like everyone else is, I think I feel bad for her the most!
Can't wait to see how things progress!
Am I missing something or is the gallery just bugged? Went to view it just to see if I missed anything and all 10 pages for every character is blank
When returning to the library MC is the one who says "The store is closed. Get out" instead of Umeko
10 pages are just placeholders, if theres a scene it will be unlocked or locked with black image.
It's just MC reminding himself: Dude, did you forget it's closed?)
Just noticed that Mia, Lina and Sina are all the same age. Been a while since I last played but aren't they sisters? Unless they're triplets or their father knocked up three different women at once shouldn't there be a year between them?
Edit: Or if two of them are adopted, that would be another explanation.
Lina and Sina are siblings and live together. Aoi, MC, Mia, Sina and Lina were close friends back then and basically went to school the same year
sorry for the long answer
No problem, it's generally logical that you can't continue any further, but tell me if all characters have a hint like this: "I haven't called all the girls to the beach yet."
I rolled back the save a little and managed to go further through the plot, and yes, all the girls have the same inscription, and sometimes the quest sign does not appear
I'm stuck at the point where I need to call everyone, but I can't call Yui
It means you have already called her, so continue others storyline
I closed all the story arcs with seven characters
And six girls have the same hint? Would you mind uploading your save
Is there a difference between the PC version and the Android version?
Android version is more compressed (mostly just renders)
Hey I'm just curious if this game has/will have NTR. I dislike it and don't want to play the game and get attached to the characters if that's a possibility.
There will be no other men in the story and only cheating on husband from skippable side character is planned. However, its all up to player.
Question which ones are the main and which one is the side character i can't differentiate for me practically everyone seems to be main
hmmm over 13 girls.... 3.3k renders.... 280+ animations? FOR FREE?? say less.
also im the real scout that dowloads funny games give me recommendations
uhhh yeah ill continue on this game when it gets a gallery ill check on comments still.
The gallery is available after you complete quest when you have to repair MC's PC (accessable after beach event)
t h e n t e l l u s i n t h e s t a r t i a i n t m o t i v a t e d i f i d o n t k n o w a b o u t
If I'm not mistaken this is mentioned during switch to free roam
Is there like any difference when you buy different CPU? I meant in game last played i bought AMD
No difference except price
I had been waiting for the update of this game that undoubtedly became one of my favorites in a very short time, which is even one of the few games that I am seriously thinking about supporting on Patreon (keep up the great work)
Much appreciated, thank you)
Can you make a pubilc sex?
Are you talking about exhibitionism?
yes :0
Well, something like this will happen)
Umm, why can't I interact with anyone and the missions are not popping up on the house map??
Found it, I just need to press that very small interactive button above their heads
I'm stuck in this part, every time I try to press "A little tickle" it says that I'm not close yet, that I should continue girl's story or complete previous scene
Hi, sorry for late response. You should progress her story further to unlock certain repeatable scenes.
i’ve updated to 0.13 but all the main progress is still stuck to **this content isn’t available wait for the next update**
Hi, just checked and everything should be fine
Two things you can check:
1. Lina and Lily's gallery, there will be 2 scenes there if you have already passed their quests
2. Upload your save so I could check if it's a problem with hints or something else.
I'm still stuck on the this content isn't available wait for the next update hint screen, I've done Lina and lily but there hasn't been no new hint
This hint says that new content will be coming for her in one of the next updates. In 0.13 there's no content for Hina
is for everyone aswell
What kind of fetishes are currently in/planned?
Maybe you can tell me which ones you want to see so I can tell you if they are/will be in the game.
Any preg content?
Planned to be as one of the choices in the ending
Im currently stuck on the quest with Aoi where it says "Aoi invited me to watch series with her at day time" what do i do to progress this?
thought the same, turned out it was just a bug, her story progresses once you cleared all girls for beach
Her hint should have been something like this: Progress other girls, so it's a bug actually. I hope to fix it in 0.14
Probably already fixed in 0.13 but just incase:
During the event where Mia is instructed to walk in the park with the MC she doesn't use the name the player assigned, instead she thinks "(REN, YOU DON'T REALIZE YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE PARK)"
When you first talk to Stacey and MC is talking about updating the computers her response is misnamed.
MC (should be Stacey): When did you want to do it?
It def wasn't fixed. Ty, will check it out
is there going to be a new update soon?
There was a update yesterday?
ik but i just wanna know if they will have a future update soon
Version 0.13 is available on patreon right now and will be uploaded here on March 6

No si es que está bug pero la parte de ayudar en matemáticas lo hago y no pasa nada(llevo aquí una hora)
You need to help her until it's 15 lust
Ive been looping at 13 for 5 consecutive nights
nvm just got out.
Need help what fo ı have to do when every girls hint says "ı havent called all girls yet"?
Continue story of other girls and then beach quest will be available
Need help with Lina ( I can't give her 500$ idk how ‚ and I already have much money)
What's your hint right now?
If there's no choice on weekday evenings in her room, that's weird. I'll check it out, ty
welcome
Is there a solution to the bug?
Could you upload save file please?
Need help with yui
With what, exactly?
I did most girls but yui hint says help her studie and i must have done it a thousand times
You have to help with math (her room, evening) several times up to 15 lust, then do same at afternoon (play with her) until you have 15 love. After reaching 15 lust and doing math scene again it should trigger peeping scene, during hangout it will trigger items test scene
Love your content cant wait to see more,keep up the good work:D
Thanks)
I got stuck on the weather forecast quest thingy. Already tried watching TV for the entire in-game week and it won't progress. Not sure where to look next or I missed something entirely different.
Click on home pc at saturday morning. This needs to be clarified, ty
Do you have 'Fixing broken English' on your To-Do-List?
Like do you have some plan for it? Like when/how you would do it?
I'd rate your English 3/5. It's all understandable and it's not so wrong that it's comedic or cringe.
Almost all of your mistakes can be easily forgiven. All except: "Me either".
"I liked it" "Me either". It's supposed to be "Me too"
"I don't like him" "I don't either" is correct, i pulled that one from goggle though.
"Either" isn't used in positive agreement, only in negative one and as i'm aware of relatively rarely. I guess it's a 'if it sounds right we'll allow it' case.
Also the most common use for either is in 'or' sentences, example: "You either like tits, or ass"
Don't get discouraged by my critique though. I like your game so far, and i didn't even get to the h-scenes, which look very nice in the previews i must say.
To wrap up i'll give a short positive review: Good UI, interesting story, good character design, good environments and everything gameplay wise works well.
-note: not my drawing
Oh i found another critique worthy point, you can start repeatable h-scenes before you progress the girl's main story to that point. For example, Mina's morning Yoga events can be progressed to 'oral' and maybe further before developing the relationship to the point where that'd be ok/normal.
It's an easy fix though i think, and it's ok if you don't fix it until the end of development. Probably best if you put off fixing it until all events are in the game.
Oh yeah and a gallery for the unique h-events would be nice. I can just make a ton of saves so it's ok. Idk anything about how you'd make a gallery, so i can't give any opinion on that front. But yeah it's ok if you never make one, so don't feel pressured.
Thank you) English is not my native language, so it's really a problem. To be honest, in the first versions (i.e. initial quests) I didn't pay much attention to the script and in many moments writing is just terrible (some dialogs will be fixed in the next versions). But since version 0.5 I began to put a little more afford to dialogs between characters (although perhaps the level is still far from ideal).
I can only assure you that I try to make dialogs in new updates as good as possible and improve the existing ones if there is such a possibility.
The gallery will be open when you have access to MC's pc in his room.
I was still early in the game when i wrote that. I see there's a lot of improvement over the progression of the story.
The android installation works.
I still can't install it
After testing on android device, regular version really doesn't install. Which is not the case for version with lower size (<2gb).
1.1gb apk is available for download. In future versions size will be around 1.8-1.9gb with minimal compression.
Android ver. doesn't work.
I can't give you good info on what's wrong with the installation. I can however spout nonsense.
All i can say is: i'm on android 11, i have enough space, and the installation fails like at 75~ish %. It doesn't say why, it just says "app not installed".
It's as if i don't have enough space or as if it was in conflict with the older version.
but i have enough space and i don't have any version of the game installed
Idk how this shit works but, is it possible that the installation package has conflicting parts? Like (random numbers) outta 100 files: file#23 and file#76 are ok on their own but together they make a problem? So like 75 outta 100 files (numbers outta my ass) get installed and it's fine but when file #76 starts getting installed it creates a conflict?
Ty for detail comment. I've added compressed version for android. If it's not too much trouble, try to download and tell me if it helped or not.
A'ight. I'll check the new download.
"Apk appears to be invalid" error
Is this first time you've installed game?
Yes first time
I've added compressed version for android. If it's not too much trouble, try to download and tell me if it helped or not.
App installed!!! Thank you so much!
Hello! There seems to be a problem with the android files
Installation fails due to "parsing failed/no license" it just tells me to download the file from the official source
I've added compressed version for android. If it's not too much trouble, try to download and tell me if it helped or not.
The andriod files are not working
I've added compressed version for android. If it's not too much trouble, try to download and tell me if it helped or not.
The installation on Android does not work, it says that the file is damaged, is there any solution?
Make sure you have enough free space on your phone. I believe you need extra space for installation itself.
I have 20GB of free space, and here it says that the package is damaged.
I'll try to look what might be wrong later. In the meantime, please tell me what version of android you have
13 Android
I've added compressed version for android. If it's not too much trouble, try to download and tell me if it helped or not.
How do I give Lina the $250 and make costumes, I have the money but cant give it to her and progress.
If you have 250+ on your balance - go to lina's room at evening. Make sure you choose half price, because full means you'll have to pay 500 instead
I just double-checked and for some reason this quest was not available on Thursday, even though it should be. Thanks for letting me know
