Thanks for playing I'm glad you've been enjoying it so far. The public version does have some bugs that have been ironed out and I'm looking forward to getting 0.41 released to the public soon.
If you focus only on a single character in a playthough then there will be spots of no events with that character since the routes are set up so that they don't interfere and overlap with each other causing trigger issues for the events which would lead to routes no longer progressing. So one week were Damien shows up could be a week where there is a lot of Matt events to take play and vice versa.
Luckily after route locks we'll no longer have to deal with daycount triggers.
