It is canon and the story explains what is between them; rest assured, it doesn't override anything in Dawn Chorus, Devon and Rune are both free to date.
You're right - this is very concerning. I hid the update for now and brought back v0.56 - please bear with me as I make and test new builds and upload them tomorrow. My apologies.
There are plans to have parts of it redone and made a bit more psychedelic once Deffie has more time, I'm can't 100% guarantee that it will happen though.
No, it shouldn't - it however sounds like you're on the path branching off where Mikko decides to move away from Arvo. This one is also getting a continuation, but not in this update!
Insert code has nothing to do with nsfw - it's only for legacy mode that has an older set of sprites.
Are you sure you installed a version from here, not the sfw build from the main page? NSFW toggle should be there in the menu, otherwise I'll make and upload new builds. None of us in the team have a mac so we can't really test it 😅
That would be Torulf, Lake and Bjorn's route at the present. Bjorn's nsfw scene is perhaps a bit trickier to find, the rest is very easy. There is more to come!
A bit. I think it adds some value, as the majority of the NSFW scenes so far were mostly about progressing the story, not just gratification, but if you choose not to, all the NSFW scenes have SFW counterparts and you shouldn't notice anything missing.
For PC/mac, your saves will be there when you download and launch the new version. Same will be true for Android as long as you don't remove the old version, just install the newer one!
I'm working with a new editor now and these scenes went through him, as a result the style has shifted a bit; but if anything I feel like the scenes benefitted from it a lot.
Android works in very mysterious ways sometimes. Sometimes it has problems installing new versions if it encountered a version with the same version number before. I could suggest deleting the current version and installing the new one, but that would likely delete all the saves and other data.
I'm thinking of uploading the future updates to a different place, but Patreon has the benefit of performing a 18+ check for us.
I understand the frustration. I wish I could move faster with things, especially with how infrequent the updates are for specific characters. I'm not writing in episodes, but rather building up content over time, which unfortunately means that some updates will be less interesting than others. December, which was when this update was being written, sadly was a busy month, with holidays and preparations taking a huge chunk out of it, and this update has indeed been shorter than our usual ones.
This one has the ending for Day 4 for Mikko, then the beginning of Day 5 and the breakfast. Stiff is intentional and makes sense when you read into what's happening between the two and where has the previous night left them.
The upcoming updates starting with v0.55 will mostly be for all the characters, focusing more on slice of life scenes with the whole case before we conclude the routes, as a final wholesome goodbye. As it's been the case with all previous days, mornings and middays are light in tone, and everything takes on a more sombre and personal note after sundown. I can say that the next update specifically for Mikko will be much more meaty and you can look forward to it, however it will again be a while before it happens. In the meantime, all the characters will get equal spotlight in the few upcoming updates.
I'm sorry for this, I somehow missed it while testing. It's enough to click Ignore when it happens to progress further, that scene is near the very end of the update. It'll be fixed with the next release.
