do the choices ever get better in this one? I'm a little bit into it and so far none of the choices have really mattered and you're forced into dates/encounters without having the option to say no
From what I recall only thing that is forced is things that are for the story but otherwise you can say no.

very boring design for a choice based VN, whats the point of having choices if you're not going to give them to us when it matters, just going to handhold the player through your tedious plot
half the fun of CB VN is being able to pick who you want and don't, deciding if you want to go for a harem or do a pure route
making me sit through multiple episodes before i finally get to tell someone no is very cool
edit: so after finishing the episodes, i have to say this is one of the most boring VN I've played, i like slowburns, and i don't mind lack of sex scenes, this one just has boring characters and plot while you get 0 influence over it. Get thrusted into 2 relationships, with meaningless choices, and you're forced to interact with them instead of saying no or telling them you want to go slower

Sadly, this is how videos are displayed on linux under wine - i can't really figure how to fix this.

Edit: Never mind, i added it to Steam as a non-steam game and it seems to work fine with 'Proton Experimental'

It seems to need the crack to run at all or it crashes at/before the menu, and this must be added to the command line options:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" %command%

The dev mentioned a while back what changed in SFL compared to SHS, but the mp4 videos still don't play even with the proper packages.

I still haven't been able to find a solution, so I have to play the game with blank screens during animations. Same results for me no matter what wine frontend I try. Holding out for someone smarter than me to figure this out lol.

Yeah I'm still having no luck, it's weird. The animations for the Mia and Becca scenes play just fine so they must have been the old strip animations, but the animations for the 4 scenes after that just gets me this:

My main system is NixOS, so I thought it might be something not playing nice with nix/store, but I also tried it on Bazzite, CachyOS and Garuda on my testing machine and it was the same results on all of them. Animations for Mia and Becca, but nothing for anyone else.

If ya'll are getting all the animations, that's awesome though. Don't know why these MP4s aren't playing, but I've just about accepted my fate here.

At least the still renders look nice...
