Release Notes:
The Gallery and Questlog have been temporarily disabled while they are being rebuilt from scratch. The screens from the original game were barely functional and full of errors. In the meantime the phone will provide a list of available scenes, however multiple play-throughs may be required to play them all, just as in the original game. When development of the new screens is complete, you should be able to play all scenes on a single play-through, and choose which LI’s you interact with, without loosing any content from others. In addition, an Android version is under development, but may not yet available. If you are interested in being an Android Beta-Tester, join our Discord channel to apply

Fixed an “unanticipated user behavior” issue. If you haven’t done Emma’s first tutoring session and you’re in your bedroom between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. ( 1800-2000), Emma should call you to ask if you’re still coming over. If she doesn’t, leave the room then go back into it. If you missed it, just sleep till the next day and try it again at the appropriate time. Should work no matter what choice you made in the kitchen in the morning.

This can be considered the First Release now that there is sufficient content.
Not all paths are integrated fully yet so it may be necessarily to play through multiple times to view all available content.

(* = NOT part of Original game)

This is little more than a technical demo, despite the months and months of work that went into it. Hopefully includes enough content for each primary LI to at least give an idea what direction this will go in.

There is currently no content past day 1 so you may have to do multiple saves to see all available content.

Next steps:

• There is a bug in the PREFERENCES, when trying to adjust the Textbox Opacity. Will update when I fix it.
• Quick Menu is “OFF” by default. Don’t know if this should be on by default, but user can turn it on in the aforementioned PREFERENCES screen.
• Need to learn better animation technology than original frame-swap
• Want to re-do, enhance the PHONE screen, consolidate other game features that are currently spread throughout UI
