I'm glad you like the direction the game is taking!
Claw and Ate will have some more character development in the future story events. After that, their base mood values will get less extreme and it'll be much easier to interact with them.
Edit: I've tried to replicate the bugs you've mentioned, but I haven't had much luck. It would be helpful if you gave me as much context as possible.
Ok, so for the Mir and Val scene, I selected "Take advantage and take Mir's back". When the scene starts and I choose an action (such as kiss lips, penetrate, or even selecting do nothing) and then click the commit action button, it shows this error message:
Error: <<script>>: bad evaluation: checkedChars.push is not a function.
As for the other bug regarding the join conversation button, I accidentally deleted my save file of it. I'll go back and try to do the same choices I did before to see if I can replicate it to see how I messed it up.
