Happy to see you return, especially so soon!

As always, can't wait to see how things progress! Hope things go by smoothly for you!

No worries, thought it worth mentioning as I hadn't seen others comment about it

Shift + A on PC opens the accessibility menu, unsure how you open it on Android though

Got as far as the interactive map, haven't seen all available content just yet but enough that I feel like I can comment.

Honestly, probably the most unique characters I've seen in a while! Maybe I play too many VNs, but you usually see the a lot of the same character designs so it was very nice to see new ones for once!

The story seems rather interesting so far as well. Kind of wish I stumbled upon this when it was more developed because I want to see and know more!

Looking forward to future updates, can't wait to see more! Hope everything goes by smoothly for you!

Minor issues/typos I noticed:

The sound effects for characters moaning don't seem to care if you have Voice or Sound sliders muted. They do seem to get muted if you lower the Music slider, though.

When MC returns home from the bar he thinks

"Cathy definitely knows my story"

But... Who is Cathy? We didn't meet anyone named Cathy. We did just meet a Katie. He then thinks how Amy is still asleep, but who is Amy? We haven't met an Amy, unless he means Emily.

Moments later as he's waking up he says "Amy what are you doing in my room" even though he's talking to Emily.

After coming home from the club he again refers to Emily as Amy, both when thinking about looking up Fobo and when he spots her sitting on the couch.

Later when Katie invites MC home he once again refers to Emily as Amy when he thinks how she probably isn't home

When going to cafe for the secret meeting he refers to Emily as Amy when sitting at one of the available tables

Again when Emily mentions ordering coffee he calls her Amy

Also encountered a strange issue when I opened the accessibility menu.

Reason I had opened it was because I wanted to change the font to see if it would also be changed on the phone. Personally found it a little difficult to read, don't get me wrong. I could make out what was being said but with how thick the lines are they kind overlap or bleed onto each other a little. Or at least the text conversation with Emily at the start of the game looks that way. For example:

Rare for me to be stumped picking a choice but this chapter did just that. Legit was sat there for longer than I care to admit for a couple of them. 

Can't wait to see more, hope everything goes by smoothly for you!

Man... It's wild to me how a rather straight-forward section left as much to think about and unpack as it did. On top of leaving me feeling conflicted about the options to pick from even though I knew what I was supposed to be aiming for. Then the final nail on the coffin (Ba dm ts) after the fact.

Kind of made me briefly forget the urgency of MC getting back to what he was doing despite it being mentioned a bunch throughout this update.

Oh absolutely! If it weren't for that I doubt he'd have had that position for very long.

Gonna be interesting to see how things go with her

Aw man. I haven't played since Chapter 7 and was debating if I should wait for 10 to release before I hopped back into things cause I knew I'd want more. Things just keep getting more and more interesting! So much is cooking all at once!

Lots of mixed feelings on Claire, though. I mean, I get it, but.. Man. I don't mean it as a complaint or anything, just wasn't an angle I was expecting, know what I mean?

Can't wait to see more! Hope everything goes by smoothly for you!

Probably already fixed but a couple minor issues I noticed were:

During the scene in the diner with Blake. At one point MC says "Blaire don't you want to thank her as well?" instead of Blake.

While MC is talking to Arsa during the negotiation she says "Clarice" instead of Claire. Unsure if just a typo, or if that's her actual name and Claire is just a nickname, or if Arsa is just being Arsa. Thought it worth mentioning just incase

Oh no.. That's one hell of a cliffhanger to leave things off at. I'm sure many won't be surprised by it but, man... I'm so interested in seeing how MC reacts to it. I have a pretty solid idea, but you get what I mean.

Also kind of feels like MC is playing checkers while Asuna's playing chess. Not quite sure how I feel about it and/or her just yet

As unfortunate as this news is, life comes first. Hopefully things go by smoothly for you, looking forward to when things can be picked back up again!

I mean... I shouldn't have expected much just yet since this is a relatively new release, but I kind of thought there'd be more cause of all the character's having one entry in the gallery.

When it said "Not available yet" I thought it meant it as in I just hadn't seen it yet so it wasn't available for viewing yet, it makes sense in hindsight what is actually being said. Know what I mean? Total user error, I admit. Thought it worth mentioning, though. 

Since the last update was a lil over 2 years ago, I doubt it. Especially with their last comment on Itch being that long ago, too.

Safe to assume this has, unfortunately, been abandoned

It also implies there are no male human SECS workers who would also posses the pills. I suppose "man" can be interpreted as "human male", but I feel like it should be clarified better?

Maybe I've forgotten but, has MC even told her about SECS and/or the pills yet? I'm pretty sure he's told her that he isn't a detective anymore, but I don't think he's told her about all that. I feel like she wouldn't have phrased it that way if she knew.

It's definitely something I've been waiting for, though. If any character would joke about it, it would be her or Kagome. The whole taking "a little blue pill" to fuck someone joke has been simmering in the background waiting for its chance to strike

That was fast! Galka's truly in a league of her own, that's for sure

Anyway, can't wait to see more. Especially with what happens in the teaser! Hope things go by smoothly for you!

Oh the two seasons were merged? I was interested in replaying  from the start to refresh my memory of all the happenings so that makes things incredibly convenient!

I've said it before but on top of having a fun and interesting cast of characters, I love how wholesome this is. Outside of the drama, of course lol.

I think Galka is easily one of my favorite characters when it comes to that, too. Just the whole gentle giant thing she has going on is rather endearing.

Minor issues I noticed:

Think there's a misname as MC is recounting the story between him, Ashley and Cecillia to Ember. As he's telling her about how he stopped by unannounced, he tells Ember about how he heard two voices. One was murmuring, and it's Ember that says the other was sobbing uncontrollably instead of MC saying it.

Not really an issue per se, but it'd be nice if (similarly to H-Scenes) there was an option to see or skip the triggering flashback MC has when talking with Druthari after speaking with Ms. Clements about the infirmary, dorms and kitchen. Not something I had trouble with seeing, but I can see it causing issues for some. Especially since, although there is a warning for it some lines back it does kind of pop out at you suddenly. It's obvious what is being alluded to once you know, but before that I was thinking about what the "triggering scene" could be. Know what I mean?

During the third or fourth Serafina event I think one of the messages is misnamed. MC starts to say "As much as I love the cosplays..." then Serafina says that the two of them should spend time together, though that seems to be the line the MC is meant to be saying. (Also unsure if it was intentionally missing, but that lamp MC and Sera seemed to fixate on for a moment appears to be missing in that event, too)

Also not necessarily an issue (And I don't know a better unlock place/condition) but, I think one of the secret characters might be unlocked at a weird time. I unlocked them after defeating Willy on Nightmare difficulty. When MC notices her he, for some reason, thinks it's Nook. But... We've already learned about Nook's return and where she is quite a while ago. Ignoring that the girl in question has a totally different hair and skin color, there's no reason he should think that it's Nook since learning that she's (mostly) fine. I guess unless the event is technically taking place before all that?

Second event with the same secret girl has a couple of renders that seem to ignore the resolution the player is using. The same with the render immediately after that.

Appreciate you sharing this. This sort of communication is important so it's rather disappointing that they themselves have said nothing (In regards to the next update) since May. Neither on here, nor on Patreon after giving that a quick scroll.

Aw, a few of the devs I follow have announced that they'll have to abandon or put a pause on their projects. I think this is the one I'm most bummed to see go.

That being said, it's unfortunate but life happens. Hopefully you'll one day be able to return to this, though! It's nice to know that even if that doesn't happen we'll at least learn about what was going to happen in the story with the other format you plan to publish.

As always, hope things go by smoothly for you!

It's a really tough call but I think Nene's lisp stole Hina's position as "Most adorable"

Also, I sat there longer than I care to admit when we were shown Yui's crest. I genuinely thought it was a smudge on my monitor at first before it finally clicked that I was looking at the crest lol

Oh. I kinda forgot about Knightly Passions since I hadn't seen it in a while. Probably a good time to check it out since its been so long

Sad to see this one go but it's totally understandable with what you've shared here! Even more points for taking the time to be explain things instead of leaving people in the dark, and even more points ontop of that for being upfront and honest about it!

Wasn't expecting two Natsumi updates in a row, looking forward to playing it later!

From the comments in the changelog I can already tell the humor in this one will be great. Can't wait to check it out later

Latest Windows 10, downloaded a night or two ago, started a new save cause I remembered that I missed a few clickables when I first played (actually *still* missed a few this time around, too!).

Deleted and downloaded again just now and it seems to have fixed it. I haven't a clue why or how that happened

Pretty sure in the tutorial it also mentions that you can change the text and textbox from MC's phone. Just have to bear with it for a little longer.

Jokes on me and absolutely called out by the bot lol. Out of curiosity I manually converted the max int seconds to minutes, hours, days and finally years. Was gonna comment how we were so close to a hidden joke. Then am beaten to the punch because I didn't click a few more times.

Also, am I just being a big derp and missing the button? I can't seem to find the character menu. Looking on the phone just has Texts, Calls, Calendar and Jokes. Pressing Escape just has the usual options and the Gallery.

Completely deleting and reinstalling the game seems to have fixed it.

So many character references this update, I think the only one I didn't recognize was the white haired twin tails in the mall.

I mean... I'm not surprised cause it's AI generated but, you may want to add a Parody tag or something because that appears to be an actual character from anime and manga, Hayase Nagatoro.

That's not a no ;p
No, but more seriously, great update. Can't wait to see more, especially with how this one ended! Hope things go by smoothly for you!

Oh that's a mean cliffhanger lol. Don't suppose you have a primed and ready v0.7.0 release I could borrow really quick, do you?

Probably already know and fixed it but just incase: the first picture Yukari sends (In between the second uniform selfie and Takako's nude) doesn't seem to get saved to the CG gallery but the other two do.

With what Okami told us and how she feels about Sol I'm curious to see her thoughts on MC's relation to Sol

The expression showcase is a neat way to, well, show what we can expect. Not sure if I've seen other games do that.

My only complaint is how short of a demo it was!... Not really a complaint, moreso just me being impatient, but still! The art style was cute, characters (Well, character) we've met, and the simple yet charming story.  I didn't want it to end quite yet! 

Can't wait to see how development progresses!

Also, the Toast ending was very amusing, though I kept clicking it as a "I wonder how much they're going to let me do this..." it also made me think waaay back to the cheeky messages you'd get in classic point and click adventure games when you weren't able to do something yet.

They didn't criticize one way or the other, they only corrected you.

That being said though, you don't need to be a chef to say that the food you were served is good or bad. The same is true for everything, art, movies, games, writing, etc.

Admittedly, I was unsure of what Nene would have been but that isn't what I would have guessed. I'm still reasonably confident about Nagisa, though!

I really need to talk to Kana and tell her about the others

Might not be a fun time for MC, especially when she learns about the engagement to Suzu. Or at least if there isn't much, if any drama, Suzu before her.

I appreciate your response, truly. I'm also incredibly appreciative that the block was lifted as that especially rubbed me the wrong way and left a rather negative opinion, despite the games quality being as high as it is.

I've yet to leave actual feedback on the game itself, which I do apologize for. I prefer to leave comments and such for when I finish the content that's presently available.  But what little I have played has genuinely been high quality and the game does stand out well above most titles you're bound to see.

 I do wish there was a PM/DM system was in place so I could explain things better as it genuinely wasn't meant to be negative for negativity sake. But, I won't bring it up again here since things were resolved and I do wish the best for this project, as well as you (and your team if you aren't a solo dev!).

With all that being said, even if I haven't gotten very far yet, I'm looking forward to future versions!

The story has potential and the characters are interesting enough, but as someone already mentioned, a proof reader is desperately needed.

I didn't mean for this comment to be all about negatives or issues but I made a list as I played through. I'm sure there are others I've missed, especially as I've yet to finish all the content but I hope it helps.

Minor bugs or typos I noticed:

• Even though I'm playing in English, when going to lunch with your coworker, it says "Alguns minutos depois..."
• Later when you're done having lunch and are leaving your coworker it says "em casa..."
• After reading the letter left by our landlord the screen says "No dia seguinte a tarde"
• Ancestral Mor shouts "Chega!!!" at our character instead of whatever is meant to be said in English. Translator says it means "He arrives" but I'm unsure if that's what's meant here. Maybe "I'm here!!!", I think?
• When talking about how MC died Ancestral Mor says "I had a very impressive fall", I think they're meant to say "You had a very impressive fall"
• After MC finishes "their" work and is told that dinner is done the transition says "Alguns emails depois"
• After MC finishes eating dinner he goes to tidy up the kitchen for a few hours then thinks "Mom was so worried that she remembered to tidy up in the kitchen", I think it's meant to say that she forgot to. Otherwise what were we doing for those few hours?
• MC later thinks "For her mother to be sleeping like this, it must be very hot today, or she tried something with her father and he just rejected her" would make more sense if the first and second "her" was removed.
• Once MC goes to talk a walk the transition screen once again says "Alguns minutos depois..." and when returning home from that walk the transition says "Em casa..."
• When on the bus to meet with Blue Moon MC thinks "The mother is very thoughtful" instead of "Mother is very thoughtful"
• When MC and family go shopping it says "In the shopping", center or mall is missing. Also when MC says "And I'm going to start..." "...por there." instead of "over there"
• When MC goes to buy a family car the transition screen says "On the concessionarium"
• After buying a car and going home, despite Fuuka being asleep in the car she has her hand up like she's also on her phone
• MC thinks "And I still have to convince my father to leave for a week with his family so that the renovation can go ahead" should be "our family"
• When receiving a text from the dealership woman he thinks "Yes, the concersionary girl, I think I'd better answer that"
• When first replying to the text from the dealership woman she's first labeled as "Blonde MILF" then it suddenly changes to "Cute Blonde". She's also using MC's profile picture/icon instead of her own/the one we see before responding to her
• When separating at school, Aika says "Well then, I'll wait for you near your office" but MC doesn't have an office, he's a student just like Aika. Perhaps classroom was meant instead?
• When talking to MC Eri says "He didn't text me, he didn't come to visit me..." would make more sense to replace "He" with "You" since she's talking about MC and not some other guy
• When done having sex MC tells her how Eri how her pussy is delicious and she says "And your father is still delicious" I think this is a typo? Genuinely unsure what she means here, unless she's actually interested in MC's father
• After the Bitcoin email when examining the dresser MC says "Amario que mae guarda algumas roupas e outras coisas, no vou mexer nisso" instead of the English equivalent
• When Aika isn't at school MC thinks "Nothing here, I'll have to go to his office" pretty sure that's also meant to be classroom
• When MC calls for an ambulance to save Eri he says "I'm here Erin, I'm here" instead of her name. Unless it actually is Erin and the previous times were all typos?
• When MC approaches Jun asking her to check her email she says "Well, what would I have here apart from several spans?" should be "apart from spam"
• Once Jun gets up one of her employees says "The rest room is on the other side, ma'am" I think that's meant to be meeting room, or conference room. She then also says "Hahaha, confuse me" I think she's trying to say that she was confused? 
• After MC says goodbye to the kid in the park the transition screen says "Alguns minutos depois, em casa..."
• After striking a deal with Suzu, when MC goes to contact the construction company the phone still thinks we're talking to Eri. The construction companies profile picture is also the same as ours
• When approaching Chiyoko and her daughter she shouts "PARE!!!!" instead of the English equivalent
• Looking in the "My Harem" menu there's a set of twins called "Gemeas Segurancas" instead of the English equivalent
• When MC moves and later contacts Jun the conversation between him on the construction company is still there instead of just the conversation with Jun
• The conversation with Jun is still present despite us talking to (presumably) the construction company. They're still using our profile picture as well
• When MC bribes the bouncer to also look after his bike the bouncer says "Closed!" instead of "Deal!"
• When MC is having sex with the new girl at the club when she says she's on a safe day, MC will say "Making fun!!!" instead of "I'm cumming!" or whatever they're meant to be saying
• Maybe I missed it but one moment MC enters the shed/bunker/thing in his backyard using his fingerprint, the next moment he's suddenly using a card to enter it
• When MC is talking to the maid she mentions employees, MC asks "Waitresses?" instead of maids. The maid then agrees with MC mentioning that they're maids
• When MC says "I promise to spend a few days with you both" for some reason Chiyoko says "I'll collect" no clue what she's meant to be saying here
• When we catch MC's dad at the club he mentions MC being attracted to "her (mom) and her sisters", as far as I'm aware we haven't met any of MC's mother's sisters? Then he says "this attraction between brothers and mothers" but, again as far as I'm aware, MC doesn't have a brother?
• Again when using the phone our conversation with the construction company is still there instead of just our conversation with Jun
• Fuuka says to mom "You've got guts, Mom, to talk to your brother about it" but she was talking to MC. Not our mother's brother, if she has one.
• Dad says "I hope his wife doesn't find out" presumably he's talking about mom instead of "his wife"?
• After Rin leaves there's some more phone shenanigans where our conversation with Jun appears with the construction company. They're still using our profile picture.
• Jun mentions their dinner was "already in the fire" instead of (I assume) "already in the oven". Maybe on the stove since it looks like soup
• After serving dinner there's still an equals sign as Jun says "Here="
• Moments later Jun seemingly talks to herself? Or at least stills MC's lines. After MC says "Absolutely" she just says things for 15 lines. A few of which seems like what MC is meant to be saying? "I'm back, with the wine, how do I know you want it?", "No, I don't want to, thank you for offering", "Hehe I knew you wouldn't want to". All said by Jun.
• An equal sign is forgotten when MC takes a both "I mean, you're my mother="

Somehow I’m much more disappointed than before, really.

If criticism is unwelcome I’d rather you all just speak up and say so. If I’m wrong in what I say than you should clarify. Censorship is lame and you’re even more lame for resorting to such things.

I think the worst part is their Patreon post for v0.21 where they say

The goal is to have an update at least every 2-3 months or so.

Anyway, I believe actions speak louder than words, so I don’t expect anyone to have much faith in Mythic Manor until it starts releasing at an acceptable rate (and our communication is improved greatly).

Wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt when I read that, but 6 months has gone by and we haven’t seen one update, nevermind the 2-3 they were trying for.

Which wouldn’t be so bad if they’d have been communicative like they said they’d try to improve. But that has been just as lacking.

It’s like that one meme, “I was expecting nothing and I’m still disappointed”

Hopefully they do get back to you! Not a huge fan of Mega myself, either. Once the game gets passed 4.5GB you’ll have a 24hr cooldown if you want to continue downloading.

Might be worth considering other or finding additional file hosts because of that

Been looking forward to this since the announcement post!… Well, really since 0.5. But still!

I truly cannot wait til we can pull the stick (Honestly seems to be a whole tree branch) out of Karen’s ass, though. Whole situation feels like a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation. MC asks Lady to tell her how he tried looking for her and couldn’t find her, meanwhile Karen still goes on about how he left and didn’t try to tell her.

Now she’s upset about him showing how he cares and that he should show it more often. Meanwhile not once has he had any opportunities to since she’s always pushing him away and storming off. Honestly and truly don’t know what she expects here.

Minor issue I noticed:

• Before the competition Xena calls Miss Ayame “Miss Karen” instead of Miss Ayame. Pyra does the same a few lines after. (Unless I’m forgetting that’s actually her name)

MC going full nerd rage when competing with Zahera was already entertaining. The faces she made during and after the push-ups made it that much funnier and even more entertaining. I would’ve been satisfied with the brat-taming she deserves but I’m already satisfied by her reactions and I haven’t finished her route yet

Just a tiny bit, but it’s still incredibly handy to know for those (including myself!) who’d appreciate knowing it.

! This is a test spoiler. Edit: Maybe I’m just a big dumb but this one didn’t seem to work.

Thanks for pointing myself (and others who find this) in the right direction!

Rather fond of Crimson High by Vertigo and Out of Touch by Story Anon.

They're both pretty solid titles, in my opinion. Worth mentioning that Crimson High has more humor to it than Out of Touch, though since that's a key factor you're looking for.
