Okay, so this is Review #1.

I absolutely love the game, so don't take it the wrong way that I'm only giving concerns this time; I just haven't done all content yet. I've so far gotten the corruption ending and then switched to Bakery route all endings, so far with Matt and Violet.

Firstly, I understand why you had the game end on day 75, but this stopped me from seeing side story scenes I hadn't unlocked yet. It's fine to freeze the calendar if necessary instead of ending the game.

On the corruption route, there should be the option to help the police by going undercover, this way you don't lose everyone yet and can still get more of the route's content with the consequences only happening down the line.

There should be an option to stay with Matt and actually quit the Bakery. That's a fourth option the dialogue suggests that isn't actually there, and the current option (to not get the surgery) counts as the normal bakery ending before triggering the Violet-Matt event. Another possible option is to pay for the surgery yourself, even in increments.

As for the Corruption path, there isn't enough interaction with Kate. Getting the firing event and begging for your job, or getting the job back, also seems to block Kate content.

Bakery Hair: Pink should've been an option tbh 


Now for my big two issues:

First, I wanted to get a Matt-Violet-MC relationship. My ideal would be to get Violet to like Matt and/or get Matt to be a better person (redeem him with my sweetness), but corrupting Violet is fine too. The issue is that despite the MC seeing Matt be sweet sometimes, he's universally made into an asshole at the end, regardless of your route, and the game forces even Sub Violet to ruin his path (dangit!). I really, really don't like irredeemable bully characters; they're just bad writing (and The Fixer did the same thing too btw), especially for Matt since he was starting to soften up.


Second, the way time management is handled could be better. Try this instead:

Weekday Dawn: School

Weekday Afternoon: Club or Early Shift Job

Weekday Dusk: Late Shift Job or Walk

Weekday Night: Sleep

Weekends: Side Job, Club

Job Shifts and Clubs lasts only one time of day, but on weekends you cannot double the same day on one club.

We can now join two of the clubs at once and choose which one at club time. Only one club is required, though.

You can only have 1 Main and 1 Side Job. Side Job has to be manually taken and is not required. Losing any job lets you choose another in that time slot. It's possible to switch Main and Side, but Maid is weekday only and Bar is weekend only, additionally Bakery now requires a minimum corruption, as does the first Bar owner event. Yes, this means Maid is always the first job; this is to force Kate's availability.

As it stands, time management is a crunch. This way it's more fluid.

Quitting/being fired from the Bakery is going to be added once the convenience store job is finalized.
More content with Kate on the corruption route is planned.
Pink hair would be great, however, that'll be more work towards the CGs that will use it.

Threesome route won't be happening as that is an entire  new route that we are not doing.
As for the time management this is pretty close to what we originally wanted to do, but wound up keeping the early version for the opportunity of adding more locations the player can visit.  Still we won't be altering it.

Still I'm glad that you've been enjoying what is there at least and your feedback is appreciated! I think you'll like the new content coming in the next update.

The way you said it sounds like each route is only maybe 1/3 of the way done or something. If so, isnt that too early to basically lose all of your frienships over who you're dating?

Also, after thinking about it, I still feel like Bar should be an optional weekend job but Bakery should only be unlocked after Cafe, and the Firing event should be unlockable after the zoo (or you can still date Kate and already know Lisa when at the zoo). It makes more sense for Cafe to lead into Bakery, both because Bakery is a corruption only job and because Kate joining the Bakery would make sense. But that's just me. 

As for the pink hair thing, IF it's implemented as an alternative to blonde, I think the Club stuff should affect / be affected by that choice when it comes to dialogue. Since Cherry had pink hair dye.

But yeah, it sucks imo that we can't corrupt other girls into being with Matt too.

Each character route is at the halfway mark right now.
