Yuri’s in the basement. If you’ve done the Nightmares with Yuri story event, she won’t be there anymore, since it sets her flag past the basement segment. Though I guess the diary will stop telling you to find her then, so you probably didn’t do the event.
This was set up this way because I was concerned people won’t find her and will miss out on the story event, but given my last poll on patreon, it looks like the community is fine with locking story content behind gameplay puzzles.
After the Yuri Nightmare Event, and after the Venus modifications, how do we get granted the blessing of motherhood? I've been trying the 'biological' way with no success so I'm assuming we need the Blue Maiden which I have yet to encounter outside of the event.
Also, I know there's at least one more room in the East Wing I haven't accessed which is positioned north of the Jessica apparition corridor (the interactable sparkle gave it away). Other things I'm aware of not solving still include the following: book painting, door painting, east wing emblem chest, and don't know what the crystal, slug, and glass jar are for yet.
Despite me not being super great at puzzles, I'm loving your game so far. Strong contender for my personal top games on this application.
That map clue had me with my head sideways.. I knew pretty early on the basement served more purpose, just didn't connect the painting with the basement until Unniex mentioned it.
Your return clue: Imagine your in a dark room, the only things you can see is not very much. I usually have to run my hands against the wall to be able to tell where they are (or aren't).
Once you find Yuri, unless you're going for the male route, you should return to where you found here at least once.
