(Season 2) Cheat codes for the management game?

[moira.lachesis]

I noticed that the management game in season two stops me from continuing the game. I just don't want to make any mistake there that impairs the story experience. I probably don't need to be worried it's an irrational thing but it still takes the fun out.

So I was wondering if there are some cheats that let you bypass it or reduce the pressure of acing it?

I'm kinda in a love-hate relationship with management, it can be fun but I tend to obsess about it and that can be too taxing sometimes. What I like about visual novels is that you can just roll with what you like and not obsess about "winning", so they're more relaxing. It's a good example why IMHO crossovers should always be optional. Not everyone likes to come for one thing and then be told to do something else.

No there are no cheat codes, and any comment about changing variables will be deleted. Don't worry about it so much, it's quite hard to actually fail it. Even if you do it the mansion will still be fixed up. Just there'll be other as yet unknown consequences.

Oh, that really helps to ease the pressure. Thank you "Ms. Hume" ^.-

Like everything in the game, there are a lot of things that are worth seeing happen if you end up not getting what you want. The majority of people who play the game have multiple playthroughs, and going through the game 60+ times to try to find all the different scenes and interactions just shows how much replay value there is in this game.

Here are just a few(using spoiler tag, but these shouldn't be seen as a true spoiler if you are even into episode 5):

You have the Josy/Maya path, Sage, Jill, and Bella. Those are the main girls, and you see how the main character(MC) feels things are going with each of them at the end of every episode. Now, there are a LOT of ways that the relationship with each of these main girls can play out. Who did you stay with after Josy shows up at school? Did you go exclusive to your relationship, or did you date each one as an exclusive, shutting down doing anything with ANYONE other than the woman you have decided on for that playthrough?

Yep, there can be side effects for some if you decide to get close to more than one(or two for J/M), and there are some VERY subtle things you find out that happen in this game from complete minor choices here and there that came as a surprise to me when I went through and found variations to how some scenes played out.

There really are a LOT of things that come from your choices in this game, and it blows your mind, including if you name your main character certain things.

Now, as someone on the Patreon, without spoilers, I can say that the number of times I went through the first two seasons more than doubled to see some things in Episode 9(only those on the Patreon have access to it). So, Episode 9...so many things from seasons 1 and 2 come into play, to the point of, "Well, if I can't see it this playthrough, I guess I'll play again differently, just to see what would happen". The game does give you hints, such as needing to be a massive D I K or Chick to get some things to happen, but in some cases, you need to NOT be in the "massive" category for some things too(which isn't necessarily stated on screen).

To be honest, I've never failed the Mansion mini-game, but I've also never intentionally failed tests to see what would happen if you just continually failed on tests. This game really is amazing in just how much variation there is, and how many of the little choices or ways to play can impact things. Note that there are also variations based on your relationships with the non-main women in the game that will show up in even season 2(episodes 7 and 8).

The more you play, the more Patreon will draw you in, just because you won't want to wait for season 3 to be completed before you get access to Interlude plus episode 9 at this point. I went Patreon in December of 2022 after episode 9 came out on Patreon, and seriously, it's worth going $15 for even one month in my opinion. And also, without spoilers, getting updates on the development often for episode 10 is enough to stay at at least the $1/month tier. What DPC is doing with development as a single person is amazing.
