I'm really stuck on episode 7.

I can't figure where to go. And I think I'm stuck in a loop with 74/77 bookmarks...

I only have the hint "go to the dinning room at 19:00" I can't seem to figure out how to progress the games played with Lina and Lynn in the TV Room

I'm playing on android without joiplay so can't use mods or send the save.

The hint system doesn't tell you when an event happens on a weekday or a weekend. If you have an event time that's not firing on a weekday, wait for a weekend and try again

    $ LynnObj.GrowMood(3)
    $ LinaObj.GrowMood(3)
    $ EveObj.GrowMood(3)
    $ ArielleObj.GrowMood(3)
    $ TinaObj.GrowMood(3)

You can add them back after you meet her in the later chapters.


jonquilnatrix has another cheat that uses the diary (Ep1-11). Do not use both mods at the same time, only one or the other.

I have been trying both weekend and weekday!

But I still can't seem to trigger anything.

I looked through the "x-variablesep7" file, and noticed there are 3 events I couldn't find in my done bookmark list.

They are kitchen 10:30 = event 40
Tv room 20:30 = event 48
Pool 17:3] = event 58

What am I missing to trigger these???

Hi all, looking for a little help :) . I´m stuck at end of EP17. Bookmarks are at 80/81 but no event to trigger is left. And if I go to Bob´s room at 0.00 I always get a loop with catch of the intruder scene.
I don´t know, but possible that the missing event is when Bob came inside of Lili at the 10.00 shower scene, because I saw it in a EP17 round I played before (there I stucked at 76/81). And already in the shower scane with Arielle at 8.00 there was no progress, she left always befor Bob "shoot", and now Bob called she "Sis" and she swallowed, from one scene to the other ????
And yes I use the official game from patreaon side with no cheats.

When this happens it's easiest to use the skip to next chapter button

Hello Celaviegroup,

I am a little confused, maybe I am wrong. I noticed that there are some additional images in the episode 12 which I tried to find that plot in the game. Unfortunately, I could not find it and went through another way. Decompiled rpyc files and look for it in rpy files. I found that there is no such plot, but the images still exist. So, the question is: is there any other version of the game, for example, for patreons only, or it was modified intentionally?

During all these, I found an interesting bug in ep 12. Somehow Lynn appears in the outdoor shower events, even if you have not triggered event of coming back. It happens when you do all events with Arielle at the beginning, buy camera and install it outdoor. At the same time, you never go to the hospital or speak with Arielle at diner about Lynn return.

You are doing a very nice game, with interesting plot, good graphics and amazing coding.
Thanks again!!!

I have finished all 18 current chapters, and what I will say to those that are stuck; If it's the last few hints, make sure you go through an entire week and click each event, because sometimes events are geared to certain days, or you need to finish an event that isn't shown on the hint list. I had to skip to next chapter about half the time for the last few hints where nothing I did would cause the trigger. It was always the last 4 to 5 hints. Good Luck!

WTF... Chapter 19... SPOILER ALERT. IMHO this game takes a bad turn in mechanics and jumps the shark premise wise...


After a very brief wrap-up of young Bob and the events of MEL the first game seemingly ends?

Bob's grandfather is apparently made the new MC... Which...it doesn't feel like the game should still be called "My Early Life" anymore? More like My Middle Aged Life, My Sexa/Septa/Octagenarian Life (dunno how old he is meant to be?), My End of Life or pretty much anything else that doesn't apply to a young person anymore? This feels like an entirely different game... I mean I thought the true original premise of the game was supposed to be Bob (from previous game) telling the story about his childhood. So how does it make any sense for the story to suddenly to a different MC in a place where Bob isn't present to see what happens? So why not just call My Early Life completed (completed games are usually seen as a good thing?) and call this a new spinoff game?

Anyways, I was here for Bob seducing his sisters and building a harem of people around his age, creepy old man perving on strangers who are just out of high school girl wasn't the game I had previously subscribed for, so I dunno how long I'm going to stick with it. I'm also extremely nervous about how the game is going to handle Lynn. If the Grandpa ends up doing sexual stuff to her when she visits things could get ugly... Love interest shared between multiple protagonists of games is certainly dangerous territory. And if the intention isn't to do anything with Lynn then why was a plot point of her visiting hinted at, and the old man also ogled Bob's sisters in their swimsuits showering at the start of the game, which also doesn't inspire confidence that the dev will have him leave her alone... )

People who thought the grind was bad in the first game... IT SOMEHOW GETS WORSE. Now not only is there endless clicking to advance time, and repeating of scenes, there's now also basically hidden stats that have to be met to progress too. There's a bunch of actual choices you have to make that raise or lower a comfort stat but of course there is no visual confirmation on screen about what the stat effect is of any choice you make (and some of them are apparently pretty arbitrary like offering her a generic drink is somehow bad, but offering her champagne is good? and offering her coke is nothing? Others just seem stupid and a waste of a click, like should I move the chair out for her? Uh yeah FUCKING OBVIOUSLY if you are trying to be a gentleman.), I say basically because technically you can see the comfort stat by opening the diary but who wants to open that after every bloody decision? Hell so much of dialogue is repeated that even trying to cheat and look at the script files isn't even a sure fire method of advancing... I was honestly excited when it was previously announced that Ch19 would have choices that matter. This isn't that, this just feels like an added layer of grind.

And I hope you like reading the words "I better not disturb her" you are going to be reading that a lot along with a parade of locked doors...

Thanks for your point of view.
There is a build in clear walkthrough so it's just to follow that and there is no grind at all. I have build-in many more evets that can be explored if you can accept a bit grind but it's fully up to the player.
If you have played my other games you'll know that not everything is what it looks like. Young Bob is still in the game but before I can continue I need to make this small step aside. In the end of the story you'll see that everything fits nicely.
It's funny to see how addicted players can be to a figure in my game - don't touch this girl and please make sure we see more of this girl etc. Within the next episodes you'll find out what's going on and why the game is still named 'My Early Life'

I'm stuck on 24/86... Thea's stats are 35/35. Made her favourite brakfast, choosing the outfits over and over. Watching a romatic movie all the time. Still can't move on.

How do you get to level 2 with Thea?

Same here, the "hints" never change, and endlessly grinding at 24/86. Time to put it aside till there is a clear path to move forward.
