After baking cookies I chose to tell the other girl "i love you" and then she commits suicide in her room.

During the suicide scene there was an exception error displayed on the screen. I did not note it down…

After the "END" screen was shown, the main menu is displayed. The first entry of the menu is full of garbage characters and one of the girls picture is broken in plenty of squares that consist of some other girls mixed together. See https://imgur.com/a/xPBnC

When I click on Load then all the save slots are now empty. I had saved games using the first 6 slots but now there is nothing and I can’t continue the game anymore.

Restarting the game does not help.

Playing on Linux.

Starting a new game in a bugged window might be fun, right? :)

I was stuck there myself. Start a new game, which you can do either by hitting the error text or by trying to load an old game.

Thanks MaxRavenclaw. I figured from NateNarcieq’s message that it was not a bug but a "feature" of the game, so I just deleted the game. I’m glad that it’s not my HDD dying though.

Huh? You deleted the game?

Yes, this kind of "joke" is neither funny nor interesting, and completely breaks the immersion. I started playing this thinking that it would be a surprising story with unexpected horror elements, but instead I got that ridiculous and annoying thing :(.

It's your loss. You've no idea what you're missing.

Plus. It's not a joke. It's quite serious. And it's very much relevant to the story. Read the crash log text file.

Oh, sorry. I missed that that kind of thing wasn't funny or interesting. I thought it was interesting at first but now I know that it is not.

(I'd think most people tend to know enough about computer errors to know they don't just blur into the background like that, or present static scanlines with "TV noise" sounds).

@MaxRavenclaw : Did someone record what the crashlog says at that time? I missed it first time through.

I still have it. It's a lot of technical stuff, with only one thing of note:

RestartTopContext: Oh jeez...I didn't break anything, did I? Hold on a sec, I can probably fix this...I think...
Actually, you know what? This would probably be a lot easier if I just deleted her. She's the one who's making this so difficult. Ahaha! Well, here's goes nothing.
