You're right, I forgot to enable them (would run only in Saturday/Sunday but all day). You can use Study at the library though, I managed to get enough Wit just with that when I tested :)

Do we only need over 900 points in clues in order to get the special ending, or does the whole bar have to be filled up?

And just so this isn't just a silly question post, here is an error I came upon when doing Ted's path, when Nicole is hanging out with him at his home

It didn't crash my game or anything, but it popped up towards the end of the scene. Also, in Ted's Normal ending, I think his special CG occurs a little earlier than it should. The CG came up when they were still in the store talking, so it was a little out of place.

I was on Easy or rather I started as Normal and then switched to Easy. lol
It's cool though since I plan on getting every ending for all modes. :twisted:
Especially, now that I know that you need to focus on

two attributes. :wink: Farewell, well-rounded Nicole! :mrgreen:

Quick question
Spoiler:
Is that two maxed attributes for the guy your looking to get with? If so wow! I'm on easy and I'm have a hard enough time getting the clues and one stat maxed.

Okay so so far I have just gone through Darren's play through (I got the normal ending) :( I was so sure I had everything I needed for the happy ending >.> but anyways pretty much all I have noticed has been a few grammar things.
Spoiler:
going to work at the convenience store nicole talks about teasing Ted. "I really should've started teasing Ted more often" would work better if she says "sooner" rather then, "more often"

also in that same spot "This is way more funny than I thought it would be" should be, "funnier" would work better then "more funny"


end with Darren after getting out of exams Nicole states "Best boyfriend ever material right here" might work better if she just states "Best boyfriend ever right here" or "Best boyfriend material right here" ( prefer the former myself)


confrontation with abductor with Darren. "Especially not with someone with the likes of you" You probably meant for it to say either, "Especially not with someone like you" or "Especially not with the likes of you"

That happens if the time variable goes too high, I am going to add an extra check to be sure on next update.
To answer the other questions:
NORMAL ENDING:
- You need 99% in relationship + over 900 in the boy related stat (just one, not two)
SPECIAL ENDING:
- You need 99% in relationship + over 900 in the boy related stat + 999 in clues

I might change the special to need only >900 in clues though if people find it too difficult? Honestly playing in Normal difficult was rather easy to get the ending. A few tips that are given even inside the game are:
1) don't overwork yourself, if you do too many things in one day, the next day you'll be broken and you'll get LESS stat increase than if you rested more the day before
2) Since the amount of Clues increase are related to all your other stats, you might want to wait before starting the investigation until you've raised them a bit more.

Point one is very important, for most part of the game I was just doing the job + nap or job + one investigation + nap. Also I was using the dinner at restaurant even if is expensive it's worth it. Or the vitamins+infusion at the pharmacy.
Point two is also important, I was waiting a bit before starting the investigation since you get much higher increases if you start when you have raised your other stats already a bit

Anyway I think will also make a full walkthrough later today!

Here are some of the things I noticed so far. Suggestions are enclosed in square brackets. :wink:

During Nicole's first scene with Chandra:
  1. In the worst case scenario, I'm gonna have to switch rooms, but best to keep optimistic! I haven't even met her.
    • [... but it's best to keep optimistic! I haven't even met her yet.]
      [... but it's best to stay positive! I haven't even met her yet.]
  2. I gasp as I hit something, or really, someone in the hall.
    • [... something, or rather, someone ...]
  3. Nicole apologizes to Chandra after they bump into each other, but her sprite wears an angry expression.
  4. The girl I knocked down rises to her knees and rubs her head like she hit it when she fell.
    • [The girl I knocked over rises to her knees and gently massages the side of her head.]
      • Knock down = to thrust someone to the ground by hitting.
      • Knock over = to push or hit someone, causing the person to fall.
      • "...rubs her head like she hit it..." = This phrase sounds like she's trying to hurt herself. I think gently massages would be more appropriate.
      • "... like she hit it when she fell." = I think it would be unnecessary to include this phrase since we already understand that her head was hit when she fell because she was massaging her head when she stood up.[/i]
  5. I-I'm fine, thanks. I mustn't have been paying attention.
    • [... attention to my surroundings.]
      [I-I'm fine, thanks. I should have paid more attention to my surroundings.]
Inside Chandra and Nicole's room, after their first meeting:
  1. I bump the door closed with my butt then set the box down near where I see my other stuff.
    • [... with my backside then ...]
      • You may also want to use "hip" instead. Any other euphemism for "butt" would seem more appropriate, too.
  2. It's kinda too simple for my tastes, but there's ton of space for me to put stuff.
    • [... but there's a ton ...]
      [... but at least there's enough space for all my stuff.]
  3. Everyone had thought I was joking when I told them of my first choice school.
    • [Everyone thought I was joking...]

Answer: My bad, at one point, jack1974 said that he might make it two but it is just one!
