Just started the game and noticed a typo. Friday, Day 1. With you and Saori under the sakura trees. Just introduced MC and Saori. Saori says "... It;s... fine. Don't worry about it." Using a semicolon (;) instead of an apostrophe (') in the compound word It's (It is)
In the same conversation, another typo. MC says "... I'm trying, Saori, I really am. The homework just... slipped mye by, I guess." I'm guessing they meant to say "slipped by me"
Hey dude! Thanks for pointing these out! When developign 1.7.0 I went back and changed a few lines in the first event whilst pretty sleep-deprived, and didn't proof-read ._,
I've already caught these typos and have fixed them for the next version of the game that will be coming out sometime soon - thanks again for letting me know, though! :))
Happy birthday to another world! I'm a little late, but yesterday I was busy all day Maelstrom, I'm writing from a translator again, don't beat me for mistakes, good luck with another world and being with other projects, you clearly have a talent for this, because the plot and the way you raise everything is really worth attention) good luck to you, and yes if Patreon has Russian initially, I will immediately buy a 2-tier subscription) Well, that's right, from my dreams, we all love you)
Hey dude! Thanks for the kind words! Comments like thse always help me keep going and developing what I love <3
I didn't know Russia didn't have access to Patreon! I also post the exact same things over on Subscribestar - which is pretty much the same sort of thing :))
I tried to buy a subscription through him, he does not accept Russian cards, that's how we live (but I already know a couple of services that will help get around all this, so that's it (
oh I see - I'm guessing it's probably sanction-based. Don't worry about a subscription though dude, your comments and support are already more than I could ask for :))
For the second Sports Club event, you need to have completed Natsuki E2 - 'Man Ass', and Sakura E3 'Horny' beforehand. Then, visit the Sports Club. There's a bug where it doesn't show the correct hint - I'm assuming that's what you've got - but doing these should fix it for you :)
alright thanks mate. Also I forgot to mention this is my last comment, but I tried to make it to where Ami would call me daddy, and I got the shit scared outta me afterwards. I wish I had read the tags, so I could've prepared. Granted, it probably wouldn't have helped. Also how do I get the Iris event?
Yeahhh... the nickname thing will be important later down the line. I'll probably edit the content warnings at the start of the game to really clarify that there's mild psychological elements just in case, too - it wouldn't hurt.
For Iris's event, make sure Saori Event 5 and Ami Event 5 are completed (They should be completed by the point you get to viewing Iris's event anyway) - then, go nowhere(evening),
Im going to be completely honest here: this is the first porn game I've played that has scared the fuck out of me. But I'm not complaining: it's a wake-up call that shows that I'm not as fearless as I thought
weird how there is no auto button in the quick menu even though it has auto options, this always irritates me in visual novels since having to click every text to advance is tiresome
It's been re-added in the upcoming 1.8.0! I'd unintentionally broke it at the start of development and just forgot to fix it and re-add it. Expect it with the next update! :)
Here's a link to a fan-translated version that others have used before. It's a couple of updates behind but should get you a big chunk of the content developed so far. There won't be an official translation though, as I'm not fluent in Spanish unfortunately :(
i lost my last save a while back and i reinstalled the game, I forgot what to do to progress the main story, I want to progress the sports club but unsure how to, I also want to progress natsuki but it just says "you have completed all available events for this version" can I get some help? EDIT: it also says the same thing with the sports club event EDIT 2: I also can't seem to progress Kirei no matter what I do
If you could let me know each event that doesn't seem to trigger (eg sports club event 2, kirei event 6, etc...) it'd make it a bit easier to tell exactly what's going wrong. Feel free to message me VIA Discord (maelstrom507) and I'll try get this sorted for you :))
Hell yeah! The main menu music is one of the many tracks within the game composed entirely myself. Check through the music player and I'm sure you'll find some other stuff you'll be a fan of :)
i think you should slow down a bit on those quick effects, i had to try like 10 times to get a screenshot of a girl masturbating lol (or at least put those in the gallery?
The idea for them to be quick flashes is a deliberate choice - but I may add the option for them to be paused when re-playing an event through the menu :)
There is the option to invite another character over - if you look through your events and see any crossed out and in red, that's a missed event. A choice you made earlier will have changed the outcome.
If you have completed all events, there will be more events added in the future. I'm constantly updating so keep your eyes peeled! :)
I seem to be missing the 3rd side character. I've completed all of the other events. I think I've checked everywhere on every day of the week for her, but I've clearly missed something.
the game is wonderful, but due to the fact that I am from Russia I do not quite understand the translation. Please provide a translation for this wonderful game
Heya dude! I don't support Russian translations myself, but I know there's an unofficial translation into Russian. Maybe this translation here could help you out?
About the game, I went through all the cutscenes in the game and immediately say, don't hit stones, I'm Russian and I'm writing this through a translator because I want to support the developer of this creation) in fact, I thought this was an ordinary hentai game since I saw it in the telegram channel, but it turned out wonderful, sometimes tedious, but the moments with sleep, I was so scared of this) the game turned out to be memorable, made me think about life and everything, I will wait for updates and the end of the game) in the near future I want to support the developer materially, how did he deserve the game to be paid) and if possible, please make the Russian language, at least through a translator) And ALSO PLEASE TELL ME if it is possible to transfer saves from the mobile version to the PC? thank you in advance for the answer, I love and respect everyone, do not offend for nations and countries, we are all people (waiting for an answer from maelstrom <3
Heya dude! Thanks for reaching out and showing your support! I always love hearing from people who have enjoyed the game.
I unfortunately can't have an official Russian translation as I'm not familiar with the language - however, I do keep my eye out on several fan-made machine translations - hopefully this one here helps?
And as far as compatibility between Android and PC goes, it's a bit difficult to say. If you have a Phone with an SD card, you can access the save data from the game, and copy it onto a PC - but I wouldn't recommend doing this as it can be quite complex. It'd probably be faster to replay the game, making use of the 'Skip to Choices' setting.
Thanks again for your kind words! It really means a lot :))
oh thank you, I just couldn't find the translation on PC, I went through all the scripts in Russian on the phone, you can at least put it as an off translation if the author allows, the translation there is really decent) I couldn't find a translation for PC, so thanks again and good luck to you, you clearly have the potential to combine both the hunt and the XD philosophy. and yes, by the way, have you thought about releasing the game in steam? it seems to me that she would have sold out well and you could get your well-deserved reward from this project) well, after the final release of the game, of course
Ah, I see - I did once have the option to import translated language files in-game when I was working with someone for an official Spanish translation - but that fell through. The process of translating it shouldn't be too difficult, but it's not something that I can currently dedicate time to supporting myself - sorry about that :( I have considered Steam, but I think it'd be an option when he game is in a much more complete state. Maybe once the game is fully finished, I could try and upload it there? Otherwise, I have my Patreon and Subscibestar which are currently helping fund continual development, so I'm pretty happy :))
okay, thanks anyway, I'm waiting for the game in steam, as well as soon if I have the opportunity, I will support you as much as I can) good luck in creating games and by the way, when do you think you will release the final version of the game?)
The final version will probably be quite a while away - as of now, I'm roughly 10% of the way through creating the planned content for the full version of the game. Thanks again dude, and I appreciate the support! :))
So, tell me, does the MC ever become more than an insufferable little bitch?
The girls all seem likable enough, but this MC deserves to have his hand held, walked to the nearest subway station, and pushed in front of an oncoming train.
You should have spent some time making people care about the MC before making him simply disagree with everything that anybody says to him. His "trauma" is an abstract concept, and it bears no relation to the character that we are meeting. It doesn't generate empathy towards him, it just makes reading the dialogue tedious.
Maybe it's your plan to make the MC an egregiously annoying character, and that would be a bold choice. However, I've invested barely an hour reading this story, and I can't even conceptualize a reason to spend another minute doing more.
So, without spoiling the story, is this what the game is about, or is there a compelling reason to continue enduring his whining? (And, no, naked cartoon girls are NOT a compelling enough reason)
It's intentional that the MC is an apathetic asshole. It actually seems to be a fairly popular narrative for games in this style to have on this site.
Basically its MC is an ass, dating all the girls at once and is somehow involved in some weird cosmic shit. This plot structure is practically guaranteed if the game's an activity choosing VN made in koikatsu.
I've played three games like this including this one and the MCs are all terrible in the same way. They even all look the same so it's like I'm dealing with the same guy over and over again. This MC is the best by far and seems to be becoming less of an ass faster than the others. Trust me they're usually 1000x worse.
I understand your frustration and hope the MC turns around quickly but it's probably gonna be a while before he stops being so annoying.
Absolutely love where this game is going. Loveable characters, good story, scarring trauma. All exactly what I've wanted in a game. Hope to see this game have as much or more content than LiL
No rush at all. Take as much time as ya need. I'd rather have quality over quantity. Sel's in a league of their own, idk how theyre able to push out so much content. And you're welcome :). Thank you for making this game.
Did you take any inspiration from Lessons in Love or Sensei Overnight? (Haven't played yet but I'm currently downloading specifically because of those "flashes" in the previews)
im right before the event "a big deal" yet i dont know how to activate it, im on mobile and it tells me to complete all possible events, i cant find out what to do, could someone help me out
Huh? The game is free to download - I think it comes up with an option to donate when you try - just press 'Take me to the downloads' if you don't fancy it :))
I wish I could create an official Russian translation - but unfortunately I'm not fluent :((
There's a Russian translation that seems pretty reliable, albeit with some minor translation errors (here's the link) - just checked the link and the site seems to be down for maintenance, but maybe give it a go in a couple hours? :))
I loved the game, it has a very interesting story and the characters are very charismatic, but there is one thing that could be improved, so the player can see what to do at the club and girls' events, they need to enter the menu, I play on my cell phone and it takes a while a lot to open these options, it would be more interesting to put them next to the Menu, save, etc., but I understand the choice since it's a lot, one question, how do you invite Ami to the protagonist's room at night? this option didn't appear for me and there is also Saori's Monday event (which is after the event where she fights with Ami) this Monday is never enough to run the event, as I have already spent several days, increasing points with the girls and ps clubs and etc, I'm looking forward to the next update 🙏🙏❤❤
Heya dude! Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for the kind words!
The hint system is designed to be a little out of the way - the intention isn't for the player to be 'spoon-fed' information - but the option to view it is there if one desires. But I do understand the pain of being on mobile, and the mobile version is something I'm hoping to revamp - I'll have a look into some optimisations for lower-end devices when it comes to menus.
For the issue of not being able to invite Ami over - it's most likely because you're running Ver 1.5.0, instead of 1.5.1. Ver 1.5.1 fixed the issue with this event, as it is permanently bugged in 1.5.0 - so I'd recommend updating to see if that solves the issue. Completing that event from Ami (Buckle) will let you continue with the main story :))
As always, new update is being worked on as we speak, thanks again dude! :))
I like how certain things crash the game intentionally with a jump scare, especially when I haven't saved in a long time :') fml (not a knock on the game more so just a skill issue on my part}
Check auto-saves (keep going left in the saves menu) Wouldn't be that mean intentionally, will add a notification for autosaves after a crash to prevent this :))
1.) What's our role in the story as a player, are we playing the role of spectator or the MC himself?
-A lots of things didn't hit my curiosity for the first 30 minutes of the game, our MC having a generic English/Hispanic name while the rest of the campus being in Japanese setting/scenario, even the writings in the blackboard are indeed in Kanji.
-It's hard for me to wrap my head around why should I invest my time playing the game when the opening aren't that interesting (sorry if my word offends you).
-There should be a hard emphasis if our role here as a player is either spectator or the MC himself. There's a lot of ways to approach this.
A.) Having our MC background fit the entire setting is one but a lot of VN games overlook, things like name, ethnicity, and character design MATTERS. Having said that, some portions of it just misses.
B.) IF the MC's background is already set and deliberately design to be that way, make sure it's slowly introduce and discuss in the story specially IF the game is all about our MC's environment to begin with.
C.) Or better, there's no need to name our MC, having nouns like "Me" , "Senpai" , "Sensei" is already enough. That emphasize the fact that the game is meant to be played at the MC's perspective not to ours. Have a strong grip to what the story is all about, it's nice having customizability but that can hurt the nature of how it'll affect future endeavors.
2.) Dumping 25% of the side characters from 30 minutes of playing a 7-10 hours long VN game is NO-GOOD. You can argue about it but you'll be in so much information that it's hard to find the value for some side characters moving forward, since you've already filter out like 25% of them already to which one would you like to know more/invest your time with. The rest of the gameplay is solely for the entire purpose of advancing through the game which just eliminates the entire purpose of having a side character to begin with. It's not just for the story, but what's their value? What're they meant for? What's their contribution? Why they're suppose to be relevant?
3.) Slowly incorporate everything. You're not running on a ticking time bomb, please. The amount of information I read everytime I click the next dialogues are absurd. You want to let your audience sit and let the dialogue be absorb fully, there's no need having PhD on literature to play/read a VN dialogues. It's fine and excusable in scenarios where it is UTMOST necessity, but not 75% of the entire time.
Heya dude - appreciate the time you've taken to check the game out. Let me explain a few things that are going on here:
1) The story is in the first person. This means that you are playing as the MC. The option to rename the MC is included for player preference - as some don't like the name chosen. There's inherently meant to be a disconnect between the MC and his surroundings, hence the character design. This is intentional, and is hinted at and explained throughout the course of the game.
2) Each of the main characters are introduced during the opening hours of the story, yes - however they are very briefly encountered. Only 2 side characters are currently available, and only one of these side characters you come across within the beginning of the game. I'd tend to agree that characters are maybe introduced a little quickly - and the beginning of the game is something I'm hoping to make edits to in the future to bring it up-to-scratch with the more recently developed content.
3) I'm curious to hear some examples of exactly your issue is here, as I'm not sure I fully understand. Is the issue with phrasing certain lines? Is too much dialog presented on each click? Is there descriptive dialog you feel is unnecessary? Feel free to send me a DM via Discord with a little more info on this.
Either way, thanks for checking out the game - and I always appreciate people raising any issues/concerns they may have, to help make the game the best than it can be. Thanks dude! :)
Woah! I appreciate the positive take from my criticism, I would definitely check back the game after some time, maybe 1 to 3 months from now or 2 to 3 updates. I won't shy away from financially supporting VN indie games like this as I did in the past so big plus for taking my feedback in brighter side as some wouldn't.
To answer the 3'rd question I couldn't provide much. Since I didn't really pass through 2 hours of gameplay which I'm assuming aren't even 10-15% of the game's entire content story, but let me confirm some information while I'm at it.
1.) Don't worry it's not the dialogue phasing or dialogue info, it's meant and necessary for VN in the first place. The accessibility and customization for word speed I can adjust so no worries. I don't read too fast nor too slow, referring to my number 2 pointers is one example(s), another is how congested some dialogues are, I'm not exactly sure what's the correct word, but I feel like whenever I read some dialogues either there's so much in one dialogue box or there's very few if you get what I mean(?)
2.) I took some time off to gather my thoughts as to why the opening scene didn't click in to me, for me one thing is lacking. Mystery. Or perhaps the lack of direction of the MC, in a way where it's completely evident that we as a player are trying to navigate the world the MC's "suppose" to be living. Take examples in Lesson in Love (LiL) and Broken Dreams (BD) they did a great examples on how to do it in a way where it doesn't disrupt the authoritative approach to MC's background. I can't exactly tell which pointers you should look, it's more about a feel/vibe.
Either way I'm glad you took my feedback with positive approach. I'm going to wait 2-3 updates worth of time before I play the game again and maybe provide my final/another criticism. Good luck on your future endeavors!
Ei cara! Estou passando por um tradutor agora, sinto muito se não for 100% preciso. Acabei de carregar a versão 1.5.1, que corrige o bug que você encontrou. se você instalar a versão mais recente, poderá visitar a casa de Ami durante a noite :))

What's the Name of the poem with the sakura pedals at the End?
Love The Game btw! ❤️
The Sakura Petals poem is one that I've written specifically for the game - but I suppose I could give it the name 'Beneath the Sky'.
Thanks for the kind words! :))
Wow, didn't expect this xD, but Holy this poem is written VERY well and also rhymes as much, you're such a literature Genius!
Waiting for the lesbian route feature without any male protagonist interference, even though we have to wait 1000 years.
When the new update?
The next update to the game (1.8.0 p1) will be out to supporters first in roughly two weeks - and then to the public a little while afterwards :))
Just started the game and noticed a typo. Friday, Day 1. With you and Saori under the sakura trees. Just introduced MC and Saori. Saori says "... It;s... fine. Don't worry about it." Using a semicolon (;) instead of an apostrophe (') in the compound word It's (It is)
In the same conversation, another typo. MC says "... I'm trying, Saori, I really am. The homework just... slipped mye by, I guess." I'm guessing they meant to say "slipped by me"

How do I get the 3rd event for Kirei?
To trigger Kirei E3, you also need Sakura E5. It was accidently missed in the hint that's given, and it's been fixed for the next version :)
also I can't access the second sports club event
For the second Sports Club event, you need to have completed Natsuki E2 - 'Man Ass', and Sakura E3 'Horny' beforehand. Then, visit the Sports Club. There's a bug where it doesn't show the correct hint - I'm assuming that's what you've got - but doing these should fix it for you :)

Will it ever be translated into Spanish?
Here's a link to a fan-translated version that others have used before. It's a couple of updates behind but should get you a big chunk of the content developed so far. There won't be an official translation though, as I'm not fluent in Spanish unfortunately :(

Me he obsesionado a este juego
¡Me alegro que lo hayas disfrutado! Gracias por hacérmelo saber :)
I open this game just to let the main menu running music :3
Hell yeah! The main menu music is one of the many tracks within the game composed entirely myself. Check through the music player and I'm sure you'll find some other stuff you'll be a fan of :)
Not very far in but holy shit am i loving it. It reminds a lot about out of touch and detached in terms of the way things are in it
Glad you're enjoying! Out of Touch is a great game so I'm very honoured by the comparison :)
you really like tattoos, don't you? :D
Interesting spot... ;)
i think you should slow down a bit on those quick effects, i had to try like 10 times to get a screenshot of a girl masturbating lol (or at least put those in the gallery?
The idea for them to be quick flashes is a deliberate choice - but I may add the option for them to be paused when re-playing an event through the menu :)
Ive got some sad news..my save be gone. My speedrun gone
Oh nooo :((
I'll try to get a full save of 1.7.0 uploaded somewhere for those who want it :)
I would like to know that what can I do after I have finished all events. And I 'd also like to know if I can only invite Ami,Saori and Nia.
There is the option to invite another character over - if you look through your events and see any crossed out and in red, that's a missed event. A choice you made earlier will have changed the outcome.
If you have completed all events, there will be more events added in the future. I'm constantly updating so keep your eyes peeled! :)
I just found a bad end for this game and its the funniest god damn thing i've ever seen
Was it a certain renaming incident? 😉
I seem to be missing the 3rd side character. I've completed all of the other events.
I think I've checked everywhere on every day of the week for her, but I've clearly missed something.
the game is still being released, read the answers below, the game is made by very few percent)
The blank side character space was a placeholder - the side character is introduced in 1.7.0 - out soon to the public btw :))
Small typo during the What You Wanted event Arvin thinks "It's clear I've cut her depper than I thought"
Noted, fixed for future releases - there's always the odd mistake I never spot, thanks for letting me know :))

I've played three games like this including this one and the MCs are all terrible in the same way. They even all look the same so it's like I'm dealing with the same guy over and over again. This MC is the best by far and seems to be becoming less of an ass faster than the others. Trust me they're usually 1000x worse.
I understand your frustration and hope the MC turns around quickly but it's probably gonna be a while before he stops being so annoying.
Absolutely love where this game is going. Loveable characters, good story, scarring trauma. All exactly what I've wanted in a game. Hope to see this game have as much or more content than LiL
We'll see how we get on - Sel's update schedule is hard to compete with 😳
Thanks for the kind words though, appreciate it! :))
No rush at all. Take as much time as ya need. I'd rather have quality over quantity. Sel's in a league of their own, idk how theyre able to push out so much content. And you're welcome :). Thank you for making this game.
Dear god... that nickname cut for Ami....
teehee ;)
Did you take any inspiration from Lessons in Love or Sensei Overnight? (Haven't played yet but I'm currently downloading specifically because of those "flashes" in the previews)
Taken inspiration form LiL - strangely enough never heard of Sensei Overnight until I released the game.. o_o
Ahhh i hope its just as good. LiL is by far my fav AVN
This makes my circuits feel damp, looking forward to further updates <3
I like the phrase there! More is on the way, will keep updated when I can on future stuff :))
im right before the event "a big deal" yet i dont know how to activate it, im on mobile and it tells me to complete all possible events, i cant find out what to do, could someone help me out
Ah - I'm assuming the hover system won't work for mobile - don't test it myself so wasn't aware of the issue.
Here's a list of all the events you have to complete:
Hope this helps, and will think of a way to show this info in mobile :))
The MC's accidental rizz is next level.
Ya termine todo el juego menos el evento de Iris, estoy un poco perdido en que hacer
La pista para el evento de Iris está en código hexadecimal, pero te lo haré saber aquí: se decodifica como "No ir a ninguna parte".
¡Espero que ayude! :))
OMFG I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME ITS SO FUCKING GOOD RAHH
Thanks dude! :))
why is every game paid :sob:
Huh? The game is free to download - I think it comes up with an option to donate when you try - just press 'Take me to the downloads' if you don't fancy it :))
the game is beautiful but please make a Russian translation
I wish I could create an official Russian translation - but unfortunately I'm not fluent :((
There's a Russian translation that seems pretty reliable, albeit with some minor translation errors (here's the link) - just checked the link and the site seems to be down for maintenance, but maybe give it a go in a couple hours? :))
I loved the game, it has a very interesting story and the characters are very charismatic, but there is one thing that could be improved, so the player can see what to do at the club and girls' events, they need to enter the menu, I play on my cell phone and it takes a while a lot to open these options, it would be more interesting to put them next to the Menu, save, etc., but I understand the choice since it's a lot, one question, how do you invite Ami to the protagonist's room at night? this option didn't appear for me and there is also Saori's Monday event (which is after the event where she fights with Ami) this Monday is never enough to run the event, as I have already spent several days, increasing points with the girls and ps clubs and etc, I'm looking forward to the next update 🙏🙏❤❤
Heya dude! Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for the kind words!
The hint system is designed to be a little out of the way - the intention isn't for the player to be 'spoon-fed' information - but the option to view it is there if one desires. But I do understand the pain of being on mobile, and the mobile version is something I'm hoping to revamp - I'll have a look into some optimisations for lower-end devices when it comes to menus.
For the issue of not being able to invite Ami over - it's most likely because you're running Ver 1.5.0, instead of 1.5.1. Ver 1.5.1 fixed the issue with this event, as it is permanently bugged in 1.5.0 - so I'd recommend updating to see if that solves the issue. Completing that event from Ami (Buckle) will let you continue with the main story :))
As always, new update is being worked on as we speak, thanks again dude! :))
Ok nevermind that's just a good old yanderapist
I like how certain things crash the game intentionally with a jump scare, especially when I haven't saved in a long time :') fml
(not a knock on the game more so just a skill issue on my part}
Check auto-saves (keep going left in the saves menu)
Wouldn't be that mean intentionally, will add a notification for autosaves after a crash to prevent this :))
This reminds of me another psychological vn. I'll check this one
Alright honest take:
1.) What's our role in the story as a player, are we playing the role of spectator or the MC himself?
-A lots of things didn't hit my curiosity for the first 30 minutes of the game, our MC having a generic English/Hispanic name while the rest of the campus being in Japanese setting/scenario, even the writings in the blackboard are indeed in Kanji.
-It's hard for me to wrap my head around why should I invest my time playing the game when the opening aren't that interesting (sorry if my word offends you).
-There should be a hard emphasis if our role here as a player is either spectator or the MC himself. There's a lot of ways to approach this.
A.) Having our MC background fit the entire setting is one but a lot of VN games overlook, things like name, ethnicity, and character design MATTERS. Having said that, some portions of it just misses.
B.) IF the MC's background is already set and deliberately design to be that way, make sure it's slowly introduce and discuss in the story specially IF the game is all about our MC's environment to begin with.
C.) Or better, there's no need to name our MC, having nouns like "Me" , "Senpai" , "Sensei" is already enough. That emphasize the fact that the game is meant to be played at the MC's perspective not to ours. Have a strong grip to what the story is all about, it's nice having customizability but that can hurt the nature of how it'll affect future endeavors.
2.) Dumping 25% of the side characters from 30 minutes of playing a 7-10 hours long VN game is NO-GOOD. You can argue about it but you'll be in so much information that it's hard to find the value for some side characters moving forward, since you've already filter out like 25% of them already to which one would you like to know more/invest your time with. The rest of the gameplay is solely for the entire purpose of advancing through the game which just eliminates the entire purpose of having a side character to begin with. It's not just for the story, but what's their value? What're they meant for? What's their contribution? Why they're suppose to be relevant?
3.) Slowly incorporate everything. You're not running on a ticking time bomb, please. The amount of information I read everytime I click the next dialogues are absurd. You want to let your audience sit and let the dialogue be absorb fully, there's no need having PhD on literature to play/read a VN dialogues. It's fine and excusable in scenarios where it is UTMOST necessity, but not 75% of the entire time.
Heya dude - appreciate the time you've taken to check the game out. Let me explain a few things that are going on here:
1) The story is in the first person. This means that you are playing as the MC. The option to rename the MC is included for player preference - as some don't like the name chosen.
There's inherently meant to be a disconnect between the MC and his surroundings, hence the character design. This is intentional, and is hinted at and explained throughout the course of the game.
2) Each of the main characters are introduced during the opening hours of the story, yes - however they are very briefly encountered. Only 2 side characters are currently available, and only one of these side characters you come across within the beginning of the game. I'd tend to agree that characters are maybe introduced a little quickly - and the beginning of the game is something I'm hoping to make edits to in the future to bring it up-to-scratch with the more recently developed content.
3) I'm curious to hear some examples of exactly your issue is here, as I'm not sure I fully understand. Is the issue with phrasing certain lines? Is too much dialog presented on each click? Is there descriptive dialog you feel is unnecessary? Feel free to send me a DM via Discord with a little more info on this.
Either way, thanks for checking out the game - and I always appreciate people raising any issues/concerns they may have, to help make the game the best than it can be. Thanks dude! :)
Woah! I appreciate the positive take from my criticism, I would definitely check back the game after some time, maybe 1 to 3 months from now or 2 to 3 updates. I won't shy away from financially supporting VN indie games like this as I did in the past so big plus for taking my feedback in brighter side as some wouldn't.
To answer the 3'rd question I couldn't provide much. Since I didn't really pass through 2 hours of gameplay which I'm assuming aren't even 10-15% of the game's entire content story, but let me confirm some information while I'm at it.
1.) Don't worry it's not the dialogue phasing or dialogue info, it's meant and necessary for VN in the first place. The accessibility and customization for word speed I can adjust so no worries. I don't read too fast nor too slow, referring to my number 2 pointers is one example(s), another is how congested some dialogues are, I'm not exactly sure what's the correct word, but I feel like whenever I read some dialogues either there's so much in one dialogue box or there's very few if you get what I mean(?)
2.) I took some time off to gather my thoughts as to why the opening scene didn't click in to me, for me one thing is lacking. Mystery. Or perhaps the lack of direction of the MC, in a way where it's completely evident that we as a player are trying to navigate the world the MC's "suppose" to be living. Take examples in Lesson in Love (LiL) and Broken Dreams (BD) they did a great examples on how to do it in a way where it doesn't disrupt the authoritative approach to MC's background. I can't exactly tell which pointers you should look, it's more about a feel/vibe.
Either way I'm glad you took my feedback with positive approach. I'm going to wait 2-3 updates worth of time before I play the game again and maybe provide my final/another criticism. Good luck on your future endeavors!
Wishing all the best!
-noodles
lil better

Yeah, it's called Lesson In Love the same reference main character has also glasses bro same as character design
Olá, comecei a jogar a um tempinho e gostaria de saber como faço pra ligar para a AMI KAWATA ? (Estou na versão de Android)
Ei cara! Estou passando por um tradutor agora, sinto muito se não for 100% preciso. Acabei de carregar a versão 1.5.1, que corrige o bug que você encontrou. se você instalar a versão mais recente, poderá visitar a casa de Ami durante a noite :))
i pray that you wake up or something
The game is like Lesson in love though the main character has a glasses and scary looking girls when they approach can do something drastic to him
Can you change the character name?
Yes! In the settings, there is an option to change Arvin's name :)
