Thank you for purchasing and playing the game! For bug reports & missing translation, please leave a comment, and I’ll respond as soon as possible. Please note that I may not be able to fully reply to questions already addressed by FAQ, comments that could contain spoilers, requests to manipulate the game story, and any other inquiries unrelated to the game or beyond the developer's capabilities.  The FAQ will be continuously updated to address frequently asked questions.

1. How far can I play in Part 2?

In PART 2, you can progress up to Day 13 (Saturday) or a hypnosis depth of 50%. The next story will continue in the next patch. The save file containing the parameters of your progress so far will be compatible with the next patch, so please ensure it is safely stored. If purchasing the game in parts feels inconvenient, I kindly ask for your patience and recommend waiting until the full series are complete.  

2. Why is re-downloading of previous parts required upon the new update?

As development progresses, new assets are continuously added to earlier parts of the game. Each part is not a completely standalone program — they share bookmarks and files. This means that while developing Part 2 or future parts, new bookmarks or assets may also be added to Part 1 or preceding parts. If you continue using an outdated version of Part 1  or preceding parts without these updates, you may encounter "Cannot Find File" errors due to missing assets.
Updating the previous parts is part of developer's commitment to provide ongoing improvements and after-sales support for purchasers. For this reason, I kindly ask for your understanding and recommend always using the latest version of each part. The developer has included version mismatch warning messages to prevent user confusion as possible. However, due to certain gaps, error messages may still occur in some cases.

As the new part may not be compatible with the previous version, please ensure you keep the credentials for re-downloading. The developer is not responsible for the loss of credentials caused by the user's responsibilities (e.g. user account deletion). Also, the developer does not further support user inquiries without a valid purchase record.

3. Once Part 2 is released, can Part 1 still run on its own?

Yes, Part 1 can be run independently without consequent parts. However, all subsequent parts (starting from Part 2) are released in the form of patches and do not include a standalone executable. This means they cannot be launched separately.
Also, since the story of each part is connected in a sequential flow, future parts are not designed to be played independently of the previous ones.

4. Is it possible to link the parts if I purchased them on different platforms?

Yes, it is possible. However, please note that some in-game graphic assets may be modified depending on the policies of the platform where each part was purchased.
