Lost phone:
Is Nicole really going to want to go to the Cafe, Movies, Library, Gym, Park or Restaurant after her fright? Maybe the night should just end or maybe the only options should be Bathroom or Bedroom?

Found Phone:
The time is afternoon but the background and sound are for night. I know you probably want to make the scene creepy but wouldn't creepy music instead of the night cricket track work better?

Mystery scenes:
I get the feeling that the mystery scenes were purposely made with a timeline in mind, however, if the player is late in gathering clues then the timeline is messed up.

Example:
The Looking Up Clues scene occurred for me on November 11th but -
"One in December last year, one in April, and the last in August... That was just last month, wow." and
"This was the disappearance that happened just last month.
In order for this to work, I would have needed to get that scene in September near the beginning of the game.

Meeting Kurt at Football field occurred for me on December 9th but -
But I forgot that the track team probably won't start practice until December...
This will work if the player gets this scene in any month other than December.

Typos: So there's no around here who's on the team, and I have literally no idea where to find anyone who is.
So there's no one around here who's...

I hear Kurt clomping after me, and I'm not sure if I stop or what so I just keep going.

Kurt: Well, even if you did get a hold of some of the track girls, I don't think they'd have to much to say about Erin.
...... I don't think they'd have too much to say about Erin.

Kurt takes my insults in stride and quickens his pace so he's at the point.
.... so he's at the front. Maybe?

Talking with Jeff about Alicia:
I lower my eyelids as Jeff's tone of voice, but hey, I got this much out of him.

I know that the timeline stuff and ending can easily be resolved if I focus more on clues and my dateable character choice for the round. I tried to be too well-rounded in the beginning because I thought it would help with the increase of Clues later. I'll try having at least 30 in each Attribute and maxing out my dateable character choice Attribute first and focusing more on clues this time around.

I think it is on Nov 1st when the game basically tells you that if you want to end up with someone then you need to get it in gear about wooing your dateable character choice. At that time, I had Ted at 89% and I had bought 4 gifts for him, but I was not over 900 in his Attribute. I never saw Ted or had any opportunity to interact with him except for when he was talking about the Volunteer Girl (Yukie?). There was no chance to increase our relationship. Did I miss a gift (I think I bought at least half of the items though I mostly consumed those )? Or was it not having his Attribute in time though I did get it before the end of the game? Or was I too friendly with the others (had at least 30% for them)? Hmmm, I kind of want to know but at the same time I don't. Hints only, please. Also, it is now only 1 Attribute and not 2, or is that my problem?

You missed it both because you had relationship at 89% AND the related attributes under 900. Also, you need to have played all his scenes in time.
Each scene will happen every X days (so you can't have the Ted 7th the day after Ted 8th). So even if you get to the right value but just before the end, doesn't matter, you need to have played the scenes up to the latest one before the final romance. Same thing for the mystery, since in the last mystery scene you uncover the place of abduction, so the ending mystery scene can't be played otherwise.
