Heya! I just finished the game, and I got Blinki's ending, he really is just a precious bean ;^;. I loved it and I'm definitely gonna play it again! But I noticed a few bugs and such

- in several of the scenes right at the beginning of the scene, the text will cut off in the middle of the sentence and repeat it from the beginning of the paragraph (ex. He was a gHe was a good man yada yada).

- the bonus scene where Atti gets a virus is broken (Hero's Hideout's Hero). If you do everything right it'll cut off right before the scene ends and take you back to the beginning of the scene and you get stuck in a loop unless you make different choices

- Izzy doesn't seem to have a second date? Either that or I just can't figure out how to get it. It's also not in the flowcharts. It's really hard to get affection points for her, especially enough to get her ending, but I'll keep trying

- There's a few continuity errors throughout, but these are just minor details (eg you play a scene but in the next few scenes you're introduced to characters as if you didn't just play a scene with them, or you don't know info you learned in a previous scene, etc). Also a few choices and outcomes don't match up with the scene flowcharts.

- Sometimes after I select a choice it feels like a line or chunk of the conversation is just missing and it's kinda blown over

- If you load to a mini or bonus scene it kinda screws up the game, and it'll pop up again on the map after being completed and you'll have to play it again

And this is just a suggestion but I'd love to see it, can you add flowcharts for the mini and bonus scenes and for the dates? Also it would help to have a complete choice guide with consequences for each choice for those who want to see every ending! Also I'd love to see more of Zion! She's such an interesting character! But I know this might be a lot to ask for 😓

Overall I really enjoyed it and I'm definitely gonna play it again! I really love the characters and it's wonderful how choices early in the game can affect how it ends, it's not often you see a VN that gets this in-depth!

Thanks a lot for the reply :D glad you enjoyed the game and had a fun time with it. It's always interesting to hear what ending everyone got too. I had a lot of fun with Blinki's story especially! And also thank you for the extensive bug report! It's always really helpful to receive these and as soon as I do I make it a priority to go investigate this stuff so I can try and fix everything and get the best version possible out to everyone! Can I ask what version of the game you were playing on previously when you discovered these bugs?

One thing I can tell you is how to get Izzy's second date. Or rather how to get her first date sooner. What you need to do is take her story when searching her apartment in scene 8 and this will open up an option later to see her first date. It is, however, missing from the scene flowcharts and I'll have to add that in.

On the subject of the flowcharts I probably should go through them once more and ensure they're accurate. Some things have changed throughout development and I'd want to make sure it's reflected there as well so I'm adding it to my list to do. I never really thought about adding the bonus and mini scenes to the flowcharts too but I don't see why I shouldn't and that's not too big of a request. I can add that to the list as well.

I'll be investigating the rest of the bugs you reported as well. Some of them like spelling errors and repeating text I know exist, but they're super hard to track down. I need to spend a good long while just combing through the dialogue one day and really nail these down. Some of the others might be fixed like you said, but it doesn't hurt to investigate them anyway just to double check!

Thank you for the feedback! If you decide to play again the current version is now 3_7_1 and hopefully you'll see an improvement in that new build of the game ^^ thanks for the message and the report! It helps a lot and I'm really over the moon to hear when people have a good time! So thanks again! <3
