0.7.0.1 - 2024-10-04
This is the biggest update I've ever made.
Listing all the changes would take a week, and I don't have that much time, so I'll briefly list the major changes.
IMPORTANT! Fixed a bug that prevented some players from using Alice skill tree. Check her screen again, please.
• 34219 (!!!!!) new lines of text and code, not counting translation. (That's basically a whole book!)
• 1465 new CGs. (more than 2000+ with all new Screens, Sprites, Icons, Interface elements and Backgrounds.)
• 29 Animations (One new scene during Shoplifter quest. Patreon request)
• A bunch of new characters
• 2 Locations to explore
• Main Characters Room (+PC)
• 3 quests from the old list, 2 completely new quests, + several other events
• 9 new soundtracks and several new sounds
• 24 new items
• Fighting mechanic! (+Fighter Skill tree up to level 4)
• New game mode to disable fights.
• 4 new character skills and other machanics (Items delivery, loans, fines, subway, etc.)
• Many various improvements (Like new shopping interface, additional items description.)
• Bug fixes. ( Fixed a bug with timer screen in One Hot Day quest thanks to Drustrevi)

0.6.5 - 2024-05-13
- Added Gallery. If you start the game from the beginning, it will open in the main menu, after the first game day.
To unlock the gallery on an old save, just pass the time in the game in the evening. This is the first version of the gallery, it will probably be improved in the future.
- New «G» hotkey that opens the gallery.
- New hotkey «X», which closes game menus.
You can also use hotkeys a second time to close the menu you just opened.
- «Safe mode» is now «Story mode», that's a more appropriate title. You will still have full influence over the fates and will be able to choose your path, but you will be insured against losing important characters, which in turn can lead to the most unexpected consequences.
- New «Bonus mode». A kind of legal cheat. If activated, will give more rewards and resources in quests. Right now the bonus can be obtained in quests: Janitor, Fishing Tournament, Shoplifter.
- «True random. Activated by default if you start a new game. Please activate it manually on old saves, from the «Advanced» menu. Every dice roll will be different if activated.
- Skill icons in notifications, now you can see which skill has leveled up.
- Secondary skills (if you have them) are now displayed on the character screen, under character experience.
- Skipping time in the game, can now fix some bugs. There shouldn't be any, but just in case. If you have something stuck on the screen or a sound bug, try skipping time.
- A few new small tutorials, in places where some players had questions.
- Restored 1 missing animated scene with Ellie during One Hot Day quest. You can check it in the gallery, if you don't plan to rerun the game.
- Lots of minor edits and fixes.

0.6.4
Hello! To avoid problems with the new version:
If your last save in the previous version was during or after my closing speech, please roll back to the last scene with Penelope and continue playing from there.
To avoid such problems in the future, I've added a warning to the game at a point after which it's best not to make saves.
Thanks!

New content:
+ The end of Penny's quest from the last update.
+ One new, rather big quest.
+ 8 various events (school, exploration, etc.)
+ 1 new location. (shop)
+ 645 CG
+ 20 animations
Many small improvements and bugfixes from previous version.
• Kentaro got new haircut
• Reworked school roof location

0.5.4
Bug fixes.

0.5.3 - 2024-02-17
The game has changed so much that the old saves won't work if you somehow still have them. I apologize for this, this should not happen in the future.
I have highlighted only the main changes below, because it will take a very long time to list everything.
• Prologue finished, + one new big event in the prologue.
• About a month(game time) of new content after the prologue.
• Role-playing system and 90% other game mechanics added to the game and working.
• Massive improvements of almost everything: lighting, shadows, image quality, effects.
• Tons of new animations, videos, music, sounds.
• Reworked locations and several main characters.
• New UI.

0.3.1
Just a small patch. Tweaked and fixed some things:
- Fixed a rather rare opportunity where the player could get stuck in an infinitely repeating loop. Testing with a large number of players rocks! Thanks to Subnero for that one. It took some time to find solution.
If you have the same problem - rollback several events before you got stuck, or load an early save. I playtested it several times, should be fine now.
- Fixed some typos (Big tnx to all people who found them)
- Added new music and tips here and there
- Fixed some scenes
- If you used Chisa as a distraction at the end of the test (when she basically passed already and has 18+ points), she will no longer lose points when falling.

v.0.3
Hello,
Although the game version is 0.3, this is actually the first public release. This version contains an almost complete prologue of the game.
Prologue, you say? Probably, there are like 10 minutes of gameplay...
Don't worry, I tried to do enough to last for a couple of hours, of course, if you read everything and delve into the plot.
According to my estimates, the prologue is something about 3-5% of the entire game that I have conceived. Stick around to find out what will happen next!

[About NTR]
Since this has caused a heated discussion in the past, I will try to give as complete an explanation as possible, without spoiling anything.
There are no NTR scenes in the game right now and probably won't be. As I'm not a fan of sharing my girls with anyone.
However, I said earlier that some characters will try to steal your girls, and they may succeed. This is also true.
In the game, it will most likely look like this: you will lose access to some tasks that require a girl's high affection. And see lines like: Since I wasn't interested in her, she started dating that guy. And that's all, unless a lot of people ask me to do otherwise.
Even then, if you don't want to lose any girl at any cost, then there is a special mode for this in the game.
What about Main Character stealing girls from others? Yes, there will be many cases like that.
