During Shoichi's CS2 do not push Haruki away. It should unlock Haruki's CS.

You probably got on C route then. To get on route A, you need to choose:
Day 22: "I still mean it." and "Ignore your father!"
Day 24: "Maybe a little" and "I cant bring myself to stay silent."
Day 26: "Be firm" and "Keep pushing".

I was able to get "Aoba's Onigiri" event at the park when i maxed out 2 hearts with Aoba (Chapter 2, 3rd Intermission), when i was playing the demo a week ago.

Monster still seems to disappear if you rest in Area 2. Or die fighting it.No errors this time, tho.

Aki is acting that he doesn't know. But depending on your choice on Day 21:
If you lied to Saya, next day he'll just confront Yuu about dating Shoichi.
If you told Saya the truth, he wont confront Yuu about dating Sho.
The issue is that there are inconsistencies later on regarding if he did confront You or not. Most of the issues were fixed, but there are a few remained. Mostly caused by the scene in the morning of Day 31 (Route A) or 30 (Route B), when Aki confronts Yuu and Sho about dating, before the boys went on a date in the park.
In case you lied to Saya and the next day Aki confronted you about dating Shoichi, the scene is odd, considering Yuu and Sho know about Aki knowing about them.
In case you told Saya the truth, it doesn't look weird, but later on the boys act like Aki didn't confront them already.

While i was exploring the dungeon, Lambert and Volga stopped and started to talk about some kind of monster, even tho there was no one on the next tile. I reloaded to an earlier save and the monster with the red icon spawned on that tile. I think if you exit the dungeon/rest, the monster vanishes. Im not sure if its intended or not.
It also game me two errors after reloading to an earlier save again:
Error: Cannot find a script named "BTE-BattleTutorial" from internal assets.
Label Not Found: Cannot find label [challenge_battle_tutorial] in [BTE-BattleTutorial]

You can get the sex scene as long as you asked for a Relationship advice from Saya, be it on Route A (chose "Keep pushing" and convinced Sho to see his mother) or B (chose "Let it go"). And for that day specifically the sex scene was the best outcome.
I just think out of 3 outcomes of Day 26, "Let it go" was the worst one. Shoichi is just overworking himself and lashes out on others (like in the scene with Kiga on Day 31), while Yuuichi is too scared to say or do anything about it for a while.

Keisuke has 2 sex scenes that day, depending on what you did during the tennis practice with him. If i remember correctly, Kei will bottom if you choose to "Conserve energy" and will top if you choose to "Push harder".

I was talking about how to get to the new bad path. Combination of these two choices was the only way to get to the scene where Shoichi pushes Yuu too hard and gets kicked out of the house. Every other combination i tried either lead to a sex scene or a makeout session.
And i disagree on "Let it go" being a good choice in that situation. Its just adds to the "lack of communication" problem. If the couple had a fight in the short term (after you choose to "Keep pushing", but failing to convince him to see his mother), at least they address this and try to communicate better, instead of letting the issue fester.

"Let it go" on Day 26 and "College offer" on Day 29

Pick "Let it go" on Day 26 and "College offer" on Day 29 to get to the new "bad path".

There's A, B and C split on Day 26.
A: Picked "Keep pushing" and convinced Shoichi to meet his mom (depends on the choices made during Day 22, 24 and 26).
B: Picked "Let it go".
C: Picked "Keep pushing", but failed to convince Sho to meet his mom.
Later on on Route A (Day 30) and B (Day 29) there will be a choice in conversation with Saya that will have an impact those routes and cause another split on Day 38(A)/37(B):
1) Bad: Route B + "College advice" during Day 29.
2) Best: Route A/B + "Relationship advice". Or Good: Any other combination.

If you choose "Agree with him for now" during Day 22, Shoichi will talk more about the reason why his parents are divorced.

Nice.

Separate page for each of the love interests.
As for Shoichi: 1) Character select, 2-3) Before A/B/C route split (if i want to replay/test with different choices), 4) Route A, 5) Route B and 6) Route C.

Jun's update was released on Patreon two days ago. Public update on itch releases in two weeks after the one on Patreon.
The route update order is (if i remember correctly) usually: Jun > Shoichi > Keisuke > Haruki.

I think its one of the Jun's. Pick to hang out with him on Day 5, then "Help him" and "Pull harder".

While a lot of inconsistencies were smooth out in the Update 0.65, one issue remained and a few others were added.

Main problem: Regardless of telling truth to Saya or not, Aki confronts Shoichi and MC about dating on Day 31 (Route A) or 30 (Route B), when the boys are cleaning the kitchen, before going on a date to the park, wich creates most of the issues listed bellow. I guess either this scene should be tweaked or/and the reactions to it later.


Tell truth to Saya on Day 21 - Aki asks about a dating advice the Next day:
Day 34 (A) / 33 (B): New conversation in the morning is a bit odd, considering that Aki already confronted Sho and MC about dating during Day 31.


Day 36 (A) / Day 35 (B): Last 3 lines, same issue as the previous instance.

Day 38 (A) / Day 37 (B): Same issue as previous two instances.

But after Shoichi comes for the sleepover, everyone act nonchalant, when Aki calls Sho MC's boyfriend.

Day 35 (B): Shoichi blabs about his boyfriend, Aki pretends he didn't notice anything.

"Deny it" in conversation with Saya on Day 21 - Aki confronts MC about dating Shoichi Next Day:

Day 22: After Aki confronts MC about dating Shoichi, MC still mentiones that both Saya and Aki threatened him about dating Shoichi, when these two scenes are mutually exclusive. Was mentioned in my second post.

Day 31 (A)/ 30 (B): After cleaning the kitchen, Aki confronts MC and Sho about dating, even all three of them know that Aki knows about the couple.

Day 34 (A)/ 33 (B): After Aki told that Sho and MC should tell their families about them dating, Shoichi says that MC told that Aki knows, despite Aki confronting the couple already a few days ago.

PS: Ive noticed that lying to Saya no longer affects you getting to route A or C anymore (sometimes?), but im a bit confused what other choice does, aside from the two involving Sho's dad.
Keep up the good work.

During "Character Select" section you get 10 days to max out one of the characters <3 events. If you fail to get the final heart during CS10, you get the early graduation ending where MC doesn't end up with anyone. Since Haruki has 8 heart events and you need to play first two Shoichi's heart events to unlock Haruki's ones, its even more tricky.

I think its from Haruki's route. To unlock his route don't click "Push him away!" during Shoichi's CS 2.

"Updates will be posted to itch 14 days after they have been posted on Patreon" - from the main page.

That why i said or/and. To get locked out of "Route A" and get the "Route C" you need to mess up atleast 1 of 3 choices. "Tell the truth / Deny it" on Day 21 is one of said choices. I was able to get Route C even by messing up just the first choice.

Updates often break the old saves, unfortunately. There is even a disclaimer about it in the post that goes with each update. The only thing you can do is to skip to the part you stopped at.

At the moment it happens only in "Route C" of his... route.
To get it you need to pick "Deny it" on Day 21, "Agree with him for now." on Day 22 or/and "I need to be quiet" on Day 24. After that "Be firm" and "Keep pushing" on Day 26.

Since Haruki's sprites were remade, in some scenes he doesn't display appropriate expressions.
1) "Shit-eating grin" and "devious smile", when his face fairly neutral:





2) ...yet when interacting with Aki and his own brother he does have the shit-eating grin, instead of a "genuine" and "genle" smile:


  
  In Haruki's own route he has more appropriate expressions in the scenes between him and his brother or Aki.

3) During the day when Shoichi stays at MC's place (and they have sex), if you choose to watch drama, text says that Shoichi is sniffling and being emotional, when his expression is very neutral:

 4) During the fight on Route C (if you pushed Shoichi to see his mom, but failed to support him when making previous choises) Shoichi says that MC told him to agree with his father for now and "keep the peace", even if you told Sho to ignore his father on Day 22:

 5) On Route A (after you convince Shoichi to see his mom) after Hitoka gives MC a kiss, she says "We'll take more next time" instead of "We'll talk more next time":

 6) I think he meant "only" instead of "long":

After re-reading the entire route, i think that on Day 22 Aki should confront MC about dating Shoichi ONLY if you told Saya the truth on Day 21, considering that (if you lied to Saya) MC thinks about both (which are mutually exclusive at the moment) Aki and Saya threatening MC when mentioning how MC treated his ex-girlfriends.
Considering that and regarding issues in my previous post, i guess the only time things worked as intended was on Day 29/28, during the conversation between brothers on their way to school.
In case you had the fight with Shoichi (Route C), in this scene Aki talks about how Sho isn't doing well and communicates with his sister even less.
If you told Saya the truth on Day 21: Aki murmurs that its hard for him to trust MC, because MC doesn't talk about stuff with him.
If you lied to Saya on Day 21: when Aki asks if something happened between MC and Sho, he also mentiones that he knows that the two of them are dating.
I guess those two should be switched too (?).

Pretty sure a next NSFW CG for Shoichi's route was teased on twitter a few weeks ago. We'll get some Yuu+Sho in coming updates. Hopefully this year.

These two are from Day 10, if you chose Keisuke.

Keisuke's and Jun's routes are fairly linear. There are some choices that lead to different flavor text, but nothing significant.
Shoichi's route has a split into 3 different versions.
To get route Route A you need to choose:
Day 21: Tell the truth / Deny it
Day 22: “What I said?” / “I still mean it.”
Day 22: “Ignore your father!” / “Agree with him for now.”
Day 24: Maybe a little / Not at all
Day 24: I can’t bring myself to stay silent / I need to be quiet
Day 26: Be firm / Be apologetic
Day 26: Keep pushing / Let it go
To get Route B you need to choose "Let it go" on Day 26.
To get Route C you need to choose "Deny it" on Day 21, "Agree with him for now." on Day 22 or/and "I need to be quiet" on Day 24. After that "Be firm" and "Keep pushing" on Day 26.

I had some screenshots of this day from earlier builds (before Haruki's redesign (0.57 probably)), where Shoichi wears the outfit he supposed to on this day, the same one in CG. This is the first time i've run into an issue like that.

In CG Shoichi has one outfit, while outside of it he has another. I think on a lot of days, where characters are supposed to be in their casual clothing, game picks one of them randomly (i noticed it while replaying after builds, that made saves unplayable)? But there are exceptions for the days, where character has a fixed casual outfit when they supposed to have a CG wearing it. I think this day supposed to be this exception, but it isn't?

Aki knowing about Shoichi and MC's relationship determined on if on Day 21 you "Tell the truth" (i'll refer to is as route A) to Saya or "Deny it" (route B). I'll try and compile all consequences of this choice:

On Day 22 Aki during conversation with MC he'll either:
A: He'll ask for advice on how to tell a girl if you like her.
B: He'll asks (or rather confirms his suspicions) about MC and Shoichi dating.
Issue: Later that day Shoichi, after talking about how happy he is that MC told Saya the truth (A) or being sad about MC lying to Saya (B), MC tells that Aki knows no matter if you had the conversation about that with brother or not, which i guess is a bug. UPD: A and B scenes should be switched, considering information prodided in my second post.

On Day 25:
A: During conversation about the fight MC with Shoichi's father, MC debates if he should tell Aki or not, but decides against it.
B: During the conversation mentioned above MC debades if he should talk about his problems with Aki, even if Aki knows about Shoichi and MC.
UPD: A and B scenes should be switched, considering information prodided in my second post.

On Day 29(A, where i pushed Sho to reunite with his mother during Day 26) / 28 (B, where i didn't push Sho to see his mom during Day 26) Aki and MC have a conversation in the morning, when they are going to school together:
A: When talking about Aki spying for Hitoka, he says that MC should tell her about dating Shoichi, as well as telling mom.
B: MC mentions the scholarship offer to Aki. Brother thinks that MC should tell mom about it.
Issue: I feel like these two conversations should be switched, since during route A, MC and Aki didn't have the conversation about MC dating Sho yet. Or, perhaps, scene during day 22 should switch, since (if i remember correctly) MC learns about Aki spying for Hitoka only in route A (when Shoichi sees his mom) and C (when MC comes to Hitoka's classroom, after the fight with Shoichi).

Day 31 (A) / 30 (B):
A: MC debates if he should tell Aki about dating Shoichi (again), but interrupted when Sho knocks on the door. Later, when Shoichi helps clean the kitchen, Aki finally confronts the couple and Sho admits that they are dating. Woriking as intended, i think.
B: MC doesn't want to tell Aki about the date and MC and Sho being a couple (even if Aki already knows?). Then MC debates if he should talk about the relationship problems with Aki, since the little brother already knows. Then he debates to if he should tell Aki about dating Shoichi (again? and Aki already knows?!), but is interrupted by Sho knocking on the door. When Shoichi helps MC with cleaning the kitchen, Aki confronts the couple just like in route A.
Issue: The entire scene in Route B.

On Day 34(A)/33(B):
A: After Aki argues with MC and Shoichi should tell their families about dating, Shoichi says that he forgot that MC mentioned to him (during day 22, which is a bug?) that Aki knows about them dating.
B: Same scene as route A, but i guess it works as intended in this scenario (but doesn't make sense, if Aki confronted the two in the previous day?).

I might've missed something else, since i got tired already, and i didn't test route C, since its way too different.

I think you need to fail Quick Time Event when you speak with Haruki during Shoichi's Character Select Event 2.

If (during Day 22) you tell Shoichi “Agree with him for now.” instead of “Ignore your father!”, you will get more information about the divorce.
I don't remember if there is more than that.

Yeah, i feel like some "MC told Saya/MC told Aki" flags are bugged or something. If MC doesn't tell Saya (during Day 21), Aki (on day 22) will figure out that MC and Shoichi are dating.

I talked with him instead of fighting in the map room, told him to get rid of the sword and had the "take the red pill" approach in general during the game. Press the  for Romance or other options for friendship.

Does Luke have good romance ending? I was able to get both good "friend" and "romance" ending with Cedric, but Luke best-friendzones me no matter what i do.
