Due to the game being in Early Access and various texts changing frequently, most translations will be incomplete until full game release (version 1.0), and some texts will fall back to the game's default language (English).

New tutorial:

The tutorial was reworked according to feedback from players. Now locations of objects to interact with are highlighted with on-screen markers. Several tasks were replaced with simpler ones, all tasks now have more detailed descriptions.

New content:

  • Taiyaki stall in the shrine map.

    New weekly schedule for food stalls

    Mon, Tue: taiyaki.

    Wed ~ Fri

    baked corn.

    Sat, Sun

    grilled ayu.

  • Wristwatch (conbini). Can be placed on left or right hand, and will activate display with current time on left or right side of the screen, respectively. Two "wrist" equipment slots are now available in equipment menu screen #3 (screens 1 ~ 3 are switched by clicking on "MODE" button).

  • House slippers for boys (conbini).

  • Sandals for girls x2 colors (conbini).

  • Taiyaki recipe (frying pan + sweet batter + anko).

  • Takoyaki recipe (frying pan + batter + octopus + ketchup).

  • Purin recipe (frying pan + sugar + milk + egg).

Improvements:

  • During conbini job, customers will sometimes place a point card, requiring to subtract 10% discount from price of items they buy.

  • Items offered by Ririka during conbini job are now added to inventory when accepted as payment (only if you have empty inventory slots).

  • 500 Yen coins can be used to give change to customers during conbini job.

  • Amount of money placed in tray during conbini job is now displayed in additional GUI window.

  • Attempting to get job in convenience store now works the same as other skill-based NPC interactions, and depends on "social" skill.

  • Uwabaki now will be added to inventory when starting a new game (instead of a cup).

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed a bug where previously collected harvestable resource didn't immediately activate interaction trigger after respawn period, and could be collected only after exiting area and entering it again.

  • Fixed a bug where player and NPCs were placed in wrong positions after loading new location, if location change happened during their transition to/from sitting animation.

  • Fixed a bug with character freezing in new game after game over condition on "hard" mode.

  • Fixed a bug where active job status wasn't correctly reset when exiting to main menu or fainting, while working in conbini.

  • Fixed a bug that didn't allow to start convenience store job from 0 AM, and required waiting a few additional hours (depending on when previous job session was started).

  • Fixed a bug with incorrect calculation of amount of cooked food when finishing conbini job (it always was rewarded even when not cooked).

  • Fixed a minor issue that allowed to start sports track event outside of class time.

  • Added one missing block of text in Shizuka's story book.

Upgrade notes:

Due to changes in structure of text assets, experience for all drama scripts will be shown at 0% (if you already had them finished), and must be acquired again. Now experience is stored per book instead of per character role, so each book can give only one point of experience for each different NPC.
