Q. What is not translated?

• BTS videos have some chinese text and no subs, but most are just them goofing about
  
• Some text in videos (typically it's just "later...")

Q. How?

Huge thanks to BBNO$ for providing the choices and subtitles, some of which were improved or fixed. Rest was hand done with help from LLM and image editing programs. This is probably my most complete mod to date as I spent ages searching for every last scrap of text in the UI, and made minute changes to get it all working properly. The intro scroll text just about killed me.

Q. Any Changes from the Chinese version?

Steam Overlay should now work properly. It did not work for me in the original Chinese version. Minor tweaks to the stylesheet and steamworks intergration fixed it. For people who already have it working, it should still work. For those that had problems, this mod should allow screenshots and videos to be recorded. Contact me if you have problems

Chapter summary now shows hearts required to progress.

Progressing into chapters 3-6 is now easier by ~15-20%
Original heart values: 0,14,28,40,54,62
New heart values required: 0,14,24,34,44,54

Good endings are now easier by ~15% for all except Princess, who was easy already
Original values required: 26, 44, 49, 42
New values required: 22, 38, 48, 38

Q. Why change the heart values required?!

Good question. Typically I do not touch gameplay elements, unless it only improves things. But in this case, getting into chapter 5 and 6 (especially the last) was super annoying if you follow Xiaoyuan or Qi Yanting, as their routes are low hearts for everybody. Some other players said the same and wanted me to include it in the mod. The endings being 15% easier better aligns with most games in terms of favor required as well.

The values needed for the 3 harder characters now matches those required for Princess. After playing through a few times, she only needed about 80-85% of her max hearts to unlock her best ending. So it seemed only fair to align the others.

HOWEVER. I have repackaged the mod with DEFAULT values and EASY values. Easy is about 50-60% max affection required, and only 1 heart needed per chapter. Default is a direct translation with no modification to heart requirements. Get them below.

Q. Is the game any good?

Pretty good. Comparable in qualtiy to the recent SIFU game but funnier and a bit less about seduction / sexuality. There are only four love interests but they're nice with a few good confession scenes and close-ups. Story needed a few scenes to piece things together better, but overall it is fine. The endings are a bit shortm, sadly. But the game deserved to sell better.

Q. Will the devs add English support?

The game hasn't been updated since May 2024, so it isn't happening. The game does have _en text for choices already, but it is not implemented (and rough). It also has _en for character info and endings. Chapter titles don't have that. And the main script is riddled with hard-coded chinese values. Labels etc also have hard-coded chinese text, so it's not all set up for an easy swap. 90% of the UI is pure images, which may have been the biggest obstacle for translation, as it took me ages to edit out the chinese text and create my own.

Q. This mod is not working, can you help?

The mod has been stress tested but problems can and do happen. Let me know if there is something specific not working and I can see if I can take a look.
Note: If you think you haven't got all the photos / videos unlocked, remember that you need to find the easter eggs inside the photos (including the personal photos). All achievements and content was unlocked with this mod, so there should be no problems there.

Q. This mod sucks, how do I go back to the original?

Verify the game files, which will replace them all with originals
Or uninstall / reinstall, if you have the bandwidth.
You keep asking this question, consider backing up the files that get replaced!

Thank you so much for your help. Really appreciate!

[nutcrackr]

Hey. I'll have a look at adding Korean. Might take me a few days and the interface will still be mostly English.

Hi, I'm korean and I really appreciate your old job(Hearbeat house, Mr right simulator and fantasy summer cook!) I really enjoyed it. now I want to try this game and by chance, I saw you made this sub. I still can play with english sub but can you consider to add korea language more for korean users? I want to introduce this game to many korean users and enjoy together.
I hope you don't feel that my request is rude. Anyway, many Korean users are already very grateful to you.
