Problem with "Gift" section

[Kapibar]

To get straight to the point - my problem with "Gift" section is that it doesn't want to be unlocked.

To my knowledge, all I have to do is read the main story, and so I did. I've read sub stories as well. Both of those I've skipped through from start to the end multiple times "just in case" and... still nothing triggered, no "Gift" for me. Reinstalling it and repeating the process didn't do the job as well. And according to Steam there's no problem with game files.
I didn't see anyone else having similiar problem either.

And so... is there any way to fix it at all? Maybe some way to unlock this through game files or something? Or am I eternally cursed and will never see the rest of the game?

Day two of searching for a fix.

To lack of my surprise, trying to unlock that in other languages didn't work.
Running the game as admin does nothing.
Changing compatibility mode to any other OS does nothing.
Giving flower to no-matter-who-else doesn't change a thing.

No idea what else could I do, neither what's the problem at all since as I've already said, I haven't seen a single other soul having it.
The only weird thing I did with the game was using shift+tab which crashes the game (just like the base game; just wanted to check if it "works" here too). I doubt that that's the case of it though.

I guess I'm cursed indeed. But maybe there's still some hope anyone knows what to do?...

As someone who has little to zero knowledge with this kind of stuff the only thing I can think of (besides maybe some magic in game files) is someone sending me a save from behind the scenes thing. I mean, I doubt it'll work at all (I mean, who knows, it may trigger something somehow...), BUT even if it won't - I'll be at least able to read that thing myself. Unless there will be another problem with that.
So um... anyone help please?...

As it turns out, it's not related to saves in any way (and replacing your copy with mine changes nothing, because of course it doesn't...).

Save files seem to be the ones in "Roaming\Mangagamer\The House in Fata Morgana - A Requiem for Innocence", saved as "housedata_en_[number/sc/su].ksd" with a .bmp as a thumbnail.
Dunno what those "record" files are though, may be something important but idk. Same goes for '.kep' file.

you should contact Keika Hanada, he is very helpful if someone have some problems, he definitely is the most recommended person about this (you could also help him notice something they missed during playtesting)

Now that's a good idea, thanks!
But... where can I find him? Does he have an email for this kind of stuff or something?

I have the same problem as well, any fix?

Haven't found one yet.
I still have no idea how can I contact the creator, since the only support (I assume) I've seen was in Novetacle's japanese site and yeah... I don't know japanese.
Maybe someone would respond if you'd write to them in english there.
Actually I have no idea why I haven't tried that yet.
I'm dumb.

The only other solution I can think of would be someone sending us save from something in Gift section and hoping it'd trigger something.
...Well, at least now I know I'm not the only cursed one!... yay...

Well, sorry for this taking stupidly long (let's say that stuff happened ), but a solution is here!

1. First, you need to download this: mega. nz/file/Eg9kDBTa#qjvxzZv4PIZrluUaRqTfqbp6RbACeOAsJZxfyo1MuO8 (delete the space)
2. Make sure that you turned off Steam Cloud for Requiem.
3. Go to "C:\Users\(YourUserName)\AppData\Roaming\MangaGamer", then unpack the .zip file and replace the folder inside with the one with the same name.

After doing that, the Gift section should be open just like that.
This worked for me.

Hi - responding to this thread 8 months later to say this is still happening to me. I have tried the solution posted directly above - downloading that zip file, turning off Steam Cloud and deleting all traces of my cloud save, and replacing the folder. The Gift section is still not unlocking. I emailed Novectacle and will update if they reply. In the meantime, if anyone else has another suggestion, I'm all ears.

I was able to unlock the Gift section after clearing both the Main Episode and all the Sub Episodes.
