I so glad to hear you are enjoying the game, and I also love the Kirawus sprites so much!!! Unfortunately, I ran out of time to write a route for Kirawus, but if someone else ever wanted to create a mod for the game that added one in, I would welcome it!

It's very possible. I would follow the hint sheet for Vasily as well and see if there is something you are saying that is upsetting him or closing off his dialog. It can be hard to get both of them (Vasily and Ogata) to be happy with you since you can insult them to the other one during several dialog options, and sometimes those dialog options are the best ways to get their romance score up.

Our coder has looked into this and might have a fix, but it seems to depend more on the specific machine you are using than the game itself. We've had several people report not being able to save, reinstalling, and then having it work, or even just restarting their computer and having it start working without uninstalling at all. I'm very sorry to hear that this issue is happening for yet another person and that we've had trouble pinning it down. Also apologies for the multi-week delay in response; I've had some health problems this summer and haven't been as present as I would like lately... Thank you so much for playing the game, and I hope you've been able to enjoy it some even with the saving issues. 🙏

Ogata's route is quite difficult, and unless you choose just the right options when you bump into him in the hallway, you really need to be mean to Yuusaku a couple of times, either by ignoring him or refusing the pamphlet (or even telling him to fuck off if you don't mind failing the party planning part of t he game). Doing this will tip you over into enough points to continue Ogata's route after the dentist's office into the third weekend. Consult the hint sheet for exact dialogue options to choose if you don't mind being spoiled on them and/or are getting pretty frustrated and just need a couple hints.

Thank you for your patience with my delay in replying and for playing the game!!! <3

The game devs discussed it, and we are all in favor of this! Thank you for offering to help more people play our game!!! Please feel free to make a strategy guide as long as you credit us as having made the game and also share it with us once it's completed, either as a link or a pdf so we can include it as a download along with the game for ease of access!

We're really excited that folks are interested in providing translations of any sort, so you kind of made our day! <3

Wahhhh so sorry for the delay in responding! I was recovering from a medical procedure and wasn't at my computer much, so I only just saw this today! :'(

If you are mean to Edogai repeatedly until you completely fail his route and then try to talk to or interact with Usami in any way, he will teleport you to an alternate timeline in a fit of rage, so I don't know if you want that, but you can definitely give it a go if you'd like!

Regarding Usami's apartment, just decline to break into Kadokura's apartment with him, but then say it's because you like Kadokura and that board games are still good, and you will be able to select a different location to have a date with him. One of the options is his apartment!

I'm so glad to hear that the game brought you so much joy!!! I hope you have a wonderful time playing it, and I am sending you good energy for better times ahead soon!!! <3

Hi there, so sorry for the delay! I read this on my phone while I was out and then completely forgot about it by the time I was back at my computer to type out a proper response...

Unfortunately, these interactions around the necklace are out of sync between the two routes in a weird way. I never figured out a clean writing solution since Vasily's last weekend event is so short, but here is a rundown to get all the content (leads to Ogata's full ending and a lesser ending for Vasily):

[Spoilers for the game below]------------------------------------------------

.

.

.

1. Do NOT start Vasily's route during Weekend 1
2. Start Ogata's route normally during Weekend 1
3. Do at least one cat sort of thing (they pop up during Usami's and Ogata's routes)
4. Do Ogata's dentist event during Weekend 2 in the morning BEFORE starting Vasily's route, then start Vasily's route afterward
5. Continue both routes normally afterward
6. Choose "Ask about the necklace he is wearing" during Vasily's dentist event (available during Weekend 3)
7. Choose "Ask about Vasily's necklaces" during Ogata's Weekend 3 event with high romance points
8. Choose "Tell him about the necklaces" during Vasily's park event (available during Weekend 4 before the party)

This will provide you with all of the content related to the necklaces during the game, but it will mean that you won't be on Vasily's final part to get his full ending due to the way the timing works out... It will mean that you get extra friendship points between Ogata and Vasily, though, if that is something you are looking for to see how it changes their interactions during the party

 I hope this helps, and I apologize that this timing issue is one of those things I never quite figured out how to resolve before releasing the game. Thank you for your patience and kind words! I am sincerely overjoyed every time someone is working to find all the little plot threads and Easter eggs in the game!!! :D

Ahhh I'm so glad to hear that, and also very glad you liked the Ogata route!!! The Tsukishima writer ended up stepping away from the project because of life stuff and only completed the first two parts of his route... And we only got a Kadokura sprite set super late into development, so for a while I wasn't even sure we would have a full set, but definitely if I ever came back to this game and finished another full route, it would be Kadokura's for sure! Love that lazy old man!!!!!! Thank you so much for the comment!

Oof, sorry to hear that... I hope you still found some joy while playing the parts you thought were better done.

I KNOW!!! Ugh, I really wish I had had time to finish his route, but we only got one sprite set of him, so he's just a two-part friend route... Please imagine that he invites you to go fishing with him on Halloween night and then you smooch by the waterfront!!!!!

Yessss I'm actually super proud of his route, so it's wonderful to hear you enjoyed it and feel invested!!! Thank you so much for the kind words!!! :D :D :D

I had tagged the game as erotic, but it's not super obvious on the game page, and I can see how it would be kind of a surprise given the rest of the route. I have added NSFW to the description as well as the title of the builds, and I really appreciate that feedback! Hopefully this helps other players to be prepared in the future.

Sorry, I forgot to answer the part about Tsukishima and Boutarou: Tsukishima has a two-part friend route in the game, but unfortunately Boutarou is not in it... We didn't get any spriters interested in drawing him or writers interested in him at the time I was organizing the game back in 2021. Maybe if someone makes a third GK dating sim, he can be there!

Yayyyyy I'm so glad! And of course, happy to help! I was worried we had missed some bug that was messing up for some people but not others, so it's wonderful to hear that you just had to be mean to Yuusaku to solve the problem! XD

If you mean the NSFW portion, I can (and will) definitely add a warning. If you mean some of the themes, please let me know which ones you thought need a warning. Either way, well done, and thank you for the kind words!

Please note that the hint sheet is only the options directly within a character's route that will provide romance points. To get to Ogata's Weekend 3 event, in addition to choosing those options, I would recommend 1) ignoring Yuusaku or rejecting his pamphlet at least 4 times and 2) making sure that you select either "Ask if Ogata wants to help make the party better" or "Ask if Ogata wants to hang out" (if there is no party). He should agree to this if you have enough romance points. If he instead says "..." and then "No. Absolutely not. The fuck?" it means you have failed his Weekend 2 event. Check your to-do list to make sure that it has "Meet Ogata at 5 PM next weekend" on it after the Weekend 2 event and then "Meet Ogata at 5 PM today" during Weekend 3, as that is the indicator that you succeeded.

I hope "scared and vulnerable (positive)" instead of "scared and vulnerable (derogatory)"! D:

Anyone who finishes his route should pat themselves on the back! It's definitely the most difficult of the game!

I'm so sorry to hear about this issue, and I am wondering if you went back to the dentist twice (once to see Ogata and then again to see Vasily and start Ogata's route again). If you saw Ogata twice at the dentist in build 2.0, it would end his route at Weekend 2, unfortunately, and you wouldn't be able to get to his Weekend 3 event.

That's the only thing I can think! Since it sounds like you already beat the game, I would download build 2.1 before starting another playthrough. That should resolve the issue. If it doesn't, definitely let us know!

Unfortunately, Koito's content does not include going on any dates, and the way the game is written, he and Tsukishima are friends, so you would have to actively not speak to Tsukishima at all in order to not get any of those options. Koito mainly serves as a source of gossip in the game to give the player hints about things they haven't discovered yet.

A hint sheet has been posted and can now be downloaded! It includes hints for the five full romance routes in the game.

Instead of making folks DM me, I have uploaded a hint sheet for the game to the list of downloads. I only had time to complete the general hints and Edogai's dialog options, but I'll upload a new version when I have time to add more.

The new update (2.1) is available with this bug fixed (we hope)! Thank you again for your patience!

There are five full romance routes! The main four are Edogai, Ogata, Usami, and Vasily, and then there is a secret fifth route. I don't want to share spoilers here in the comments, so please DM me on discord and I can give you some hints based on which character you are hoping to romance!

I sincerely apologize; we did catch that issue in beta-testing and thought we addressed it, but looks like we didn't quite get it resolved in the final build! We will release an updated build in a week or so in case there are any other issues that arise (so we can fix them all at the same time).

In the meantime, please start Vasily's route during Weekend 1 in order to be on sequence with Ogata's route and doing the dentist visit during Weekend 2. This should resolve the issue as a stopgap until the new update releases (although you may have to start over/go back a few saves...).

Thank you for your patience and kind words! We very much appreciate folks reporting bugs like this!!! :D
