I can't tell exactly what choices I made to get that scene, but it's related to Chelsie's inventions (after her sex scene) and Tate being in detention. Though if it's just an issue with the gallery not recognizing that you saw that, that's just the gallery needing to be redone as MindOfFur mentioned in the latest devlog.

As far as world-building goes, even in stories with the entire plot written out already, larger updates allow for less changes in future updates, primarily regarding details. Halfway through writing a second day, you might realize something in the first day needs to change to make more sense. This can still be changed even after that day is published, but it's easier when it's in an unpublished part.
Rather extreme spoilers:
No, I'm serious, this will give away basically Tate's entire route:
That's where he has the whole naming thing (where apparently, you can't actually tell him "Tate" or "Tate Foster", and have to wait for Scribbles to tell you).
My exact choices were (Once you've selected Tate's route): "No time to waste", "You're innocent", "Yes", "No Way", "Nope nope" (Though this may or may not have an effect because you'll still be a virgin outside of orally), "Go with the cat", "Take a look around", "I absolutely mean it", "Could be handy",
(The one asking about each character and then with the food has no impact, but for the record I usually ask about all 3 people and pick "cereal with milk", "eggs and bacon", and "fruit", then "that's it"),
"Hell nah", "Yes (Truth)" (This has no effect whatsoever on the game), "Let Tate know", Any of the Never Have I Ever options though I usually pick "Fancied a friend's parent", Pick all three names in the looking ball (No effect), "Lovingly" (Though it probably has no effect),
At this point, nothing ultimately seems to impact getting the scene: No matter what choices, it eventually happens. Ask the two all the questions on screen about their clan/tribe(?), depending on personal choice either "Go Gathering" or "Stay in camp". You're knocked out anyways, but I typically choose to go with the group, and then say "I can't do this..." allowing you to stay a virgin, like you said you would to Tate. In the scene you're trying to unlock, he'll ask if you're still a virgin, but only on this route. Either saying "No" or "Yes" has the same effect.
Apparently I "Last played [This VN] 4 years ago", which following itch.io logic vaguely means sometime in 2020. I remember fuck all about this VN, except that it kind of looks familiar. To happen upon it again 6 days after it was completed is insane and I'm so happy! Looking forward to binging it with absolutely no breaks.
It's possible that they were paid enough that it wouldn't have been worth it to go through the extensive process of ransoming him without being caught. Or they just didn't like trying to figure out how to pull it off, when they were going to be guaranteed to be paid a lot for half the work.
They most likely only thought of kidnapping the prince because the contractor had specifically hired them to do so.
So, your complaint is that the main character isn't a dominant top? I can respect that.
Although Orange does technically have the right to write his VNs however he wants, and since they're passion projects, he's not really required to write it the way readers want.
I will say though, there are a few Visual Novels in which the MC is a top. But dominant? Yeah, that's in like 10 VNs max (out of 60 or so), and most of them are because they're route based romance VNs, so of course there are submissive dateable characters. All that to say I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you for characters to be dom tops in VNs. But that's just my opinion
I just caught up for the first time in 3 years, and oh my gosh, yes!! I forgot how good this story was. I would have liked to have followed along in the past 3 years, but when my old laptop suddenly died, I had to restart the Visual Novels I'd been playing, and hadn't remembered this was one of them. On the plus side, I got to relive everything for the "first time" again.
I'm kind of like you, Orange. I discovered and played your VN 3 years ago when it was just a short smut story, and I enjoyed what kind of game it was at the time.
But now that we've reached this? I don't even know what to say. This is just incredible, the way it has evolved so much, and the way I've been able to follow along as it grew. I think this was the first VN that I discovered in its very early stages and have followed all the way to the end of the first volume. I was ecstatic when I saw that it had been updated for the first time, and it has been an exceptional journey since.
I'm excited to follow along with your future productions, regardless of how different they may be from OIHS!
Dang, was hoping there might be a hidden secret if I put in the name "Help us". I do appreciate the ability to select my name though. Been reading several VNs recently with preset names, and it just feels less personal.
Also, that particular option that pops up after asking him questions? I was SO utterly unprepared.
As far as I'm aware, mostly vague "college aged," acting under the assumption that they are recent high school graduates, aged somewhere between 18 and 22. With the exception of Elliot.
Their exact ages are recorded somewhere, I'm sure, but since nobody has responded to you yet, I figured I would provide my guess.
