I'm not done with the update but I just fucking knew it! That we'll be getting Apollyon to see her human form. I really love the horny intellectual/curious girl trope. That sex scene's amazing.

Moreover, man... we're really letting Mina go huh? Its not exactly as satisfying as when the MC convinced other lost souls to move on. But its much better that he's the one to send her off, and who knows, maybe some plot twist will happen much later.
Thanks for the update.

Holy Shit, Apollyon was channeling her inner teenage Alice, wasn't she? That was amazing!!!I must say, that Apollyon scene was the best scene in this game for me so far
I have one save where I'm doing everything but Tina, and one where I'm catching up on her stuff and also trying to make "different choices" where they exist... like whether anita and marisa met.
I've never used the mod's "make additional choices" option, and based on that first save, we are currently 9 choices behind. You can max everyone else and get tina_story up to 2, rather than the max of 11.
I also didn't do the "wait one additional day for Mina" option (which gets you 1 additional qi) but counting that, we are 10 choices behind.
Mostly, every update has given you 1 more option than the number of days it added.
There are a lot of if's to prevent things like this from happening, but not surprising if a few are missed. Can probably report them so ILS can go back and fix them.

true - but I read the code - and report if I find anything that doesn't make logical sense (my BS in computer coding).
Keep up the good work ILS.
I had a bit of a shock with the scene with Allison on the Street.
Thought it might be a reference to the Easy Street Collingwood murders. Maybe a coincidence.

Welp, I certainly wasn't expecting that from Apollyon.
This weird sandboxy storytelling messes up the timeline of the game. For example, when I went to visit Sammy and saw Bud outside, he asked about Robin, who had apparently moved and I wasn't that far in Robin's route. And that wasn't first time I saw things out of order. I don't remember what the other one was but it might have been in the Sammy's route as well.
And because we can't play through all the content there is in the update, makes me fear about what happens to the girls whose route isn't far enough once main story advances to certain point.

First thanks for the update! Always appreciate the arrival of a new update especially when it brings so much high quality content.
I played Now and Then and found it an excellent, perhaps an outstanding, AVN. One of my favorites. However, if you read my comments in that thread you'll find I wasn't hesitant to point out problems when the author's assumptions were unsupportable by fact.
Feed back ahead - take it for what you think it's worth.
I played the intro and a small part of an early update. I decided, somewhere in CH4, that the learning curve wasn't worth the early effort and to wait until the story matured. I just finished playing V0.13 to completion.
First, the dev(s) REALLY need to learn EXACTLY what the requirements of title IX are before railing endlessly about the unfairness between men's and women's treatment in college sports. I could detail the many misconception fostered by Tina's comments, but that would make this comment pages long, so I'll leave it at that - go read title IX and then read how it's been accommodated by the colleges.
Second, without the mod this VN is reduced to tedium. Using the mod you can keep all the various stories synced avoiding skew between their various progress. NO AVN should require a mod to allow an even progression. This matters because certain progress with a given LI requires a level of progress with another. Using the mod I could keep all the stories progressing a pace.
Third, creating a super villain who achieved that status by breaking the system, without intervention by the controlling forces, is very poor plotting. Not just a dramatically unfair advantage, but then he is ignored as he violates rules and demonstrates capabilities that are impossible with in the rules as described to the player.
I'd complain about the sandboxish nature of the VN, but that would be dishonest since I used the mod to mitigate most of the related issues.
Fourth, as said elsewhere many times, it's disheartening to play a VN where you know in advance that the BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME is to push every LI beyond the pale and have no future with any of them. I and others suspect that the author(s) plan(s) to provide a loophole near the end of the VN that will offer the MC options, but that doesn't mitigate the fact that as we play this VN that ugly ending is all we are offered. If there are alternatives, you should make us aware of that fact, not necessarily what those alternatives are but that they exist.
-----------------
So a lot of criticism. Despite that, this is a truly high quality VN. Solid writing. Attractive LIs. Technically very sound. Excellent update schedule. I look forward to your next update. Exceptional work, and I thank you for your commitment to such quality and professionalism.

1) I will say that there are many laws which many (more than 50% of US citizens) get wrong and don't understand. Title IX is one of many (HIPAA, GLBA, ACA (Obamacare), etc.) are all laws which many people consistently get wrong what the laws were written for and what they can do. Just because a writer wrote a character which doesn't know exactly what the law states, doesn't mean the dev doesn't know. Just pointing out that fact.
2) While I get the whole progression thing, I haven't used the mod, and I have multiple playthroughs so I can do testing for the WT (which I am so damn far behind on - I still haven't played 12 or 13 yet - much less wrote the WT). If your sole purpose is for getting through a game - in 1 run through - with 100% of the content - okay - understood. Having to play multiple runthroughs might be the dev's choice. I don't know, just saying. Art is art. FYI - the Dev is reading their Discord server, and trying to fix those so that you cannot get ahead of others and out of order. This is all part of playing a game that is a work in progress.
3) I wouldn't say lazy or poor. There are hundreds of quality movies/books/etc. which have this trope. Are you telling me Harry Potter was bad? Telling me the entire MCU set of movies was bad? Just saying just because it is something that is not 100% original, doesn't make it necessarily bad.
4) Its all about the feels (wo)man .. I forget about the plot when I am in it. I don't sit there and think about the world, the constructs, etc. I read the lines and feel how my MC would feel. Yes if the MC is home alone and drinking every night - he might feel more about the outcome you talked about. But the MC has altruism, which they are using to make the world a better place. I like that a lot more than the typical game MC just got let from jail or MC is a punk sent away by family and now comes back to town. MC is an average person, which most readers can typically identify with - as they are average themselves.
I am not saying this game is perfect. I am saying that some of the choices might be made by the Dev for artistic purposes, and artistic choices might not be popular choices (rarely do artistic choices = popular choices). Plus the game isn't finished yet, so pacing and other issues might be fixed by the end. You are entitled to your opinions - just providing alternate opinions to think about.

I am on board with Fredo on this one. The issue isn't needing the mod to see 100% of the content in one playthrough. Not at all. You know my comments about the mod in N&T. I could give a rat's ass about seeing every bit of content in 1 playthrough. But as Fredo pointed out, as I've pointed out, as multiple other posters have pointed out, events are happening in the main storyline, and in certain character arcs, that reference events that the player may well have not seen in other character arcs. Things the player may not have done (yet.) You're probably more insulated from this effect because a) you play multiple playthroughs and have seen all the content available so if something comes up you're probably aware of it even if you didn't see it in the playthrough you're working on at that time, and b) you haven't even played the last two updates, which is where these inconsistencies/incongruities are becoming more frequent, prevalent, and impacting. I've decided when the next update comes out (or if I catch up my other games and get bored before then) I'm going to bite the bullet, install the mod, and restart just because of these incongruities. Which is a shame, because I'm in effect being forced to, in a sandbox format that was probably created with the intent to allow players to skip certain characters if they found them unappealing, play through all the character arcs in order to make the ones I prefer make sense.

Point taken. As you stated - I haven't played the last two updates as I have been too damn busy - not at home/traveling - and only have so much free time after I leave the client sites. Damn I miss my PC, my bed, my house, its been 4 months since I've been home.
Anyways - I was just saying - yes - some of the incongruities might be there - I can also see how the Dev can fix it as well with easy fixes in the code.
Then again - I don't care much as the game isn't finished - so I don't know what ILS has planned on fixing. I don't really judge a game but by its story and playability (not continuity mistakes, but actual - is it fun or a total grind) as to if I want to keep playing. Some games lose me in the middle and I come back when they are done (I am looking at you Corrupted Kingdom), and some I just play a few and say good bye. Everyone has their own opinion of time vs reward.
