Dear friends! Today we'd like to present to you a report on the work done in the past month:
1. Finished 85% of additional script direction (up to 50% since the last blog post).
2. Optimized the amount of RAM the game uses doing fast-forward.
3. Added a minor variation for one of the backgrounds. You'll have to see which one in-game!
4. Finished two more animated CGs.
5. Slightly adjusted in terms of appearance, as well as optimized technically, the main interface (textboxes).
6. Significantly reduced game size on Android.
7. Remade the footnote system it should now be much more convenient and easy to use, with a clear indication as to which word(s) a footnote is for.
8. Added and placed new sounds about 100 effects such as wind noise, shutting doors, buzzes, gunshots, strums of guitar strings, etc.
9. Made a gallery for replaying the songs heard in-game, viewing seen backgrounds and CGs. Also added an interface for viewing their variations (such as CGs with various emotions). Creating the gallery took more time than we anticipated.
10. Added more character animations for specific situations, improved some models' technical capabilities for animation.
We also made even more small adjustments, bug fixes, changes than last month, and it would be impossible to mention all of them here.
Speaking about what we have left to do in terms of the game's main functionality, that would be: keeping track of seen text (for skipping only it and not all text) and auto-forward. We also have a weighty backlog of tasks that mostly consists of bugs and small features. Most of them aren't that significant we doubt most players will even notice them but some are more apparent, such as a better outline for character names.
Despite the difficult situation in the country and the world, at the moment the release date remains the same: 2nd of June 2022.
You can still support us, see your name in the credits, as well as receive valuable bonuses and DLCs.

Story
Nikolai, the son of two soviet engineers and a normal Japanese student, has no idea his world will soon be turned over. The familiar and dear will clash with the grim ghosts of the past in his soul. Now Nikolai will have to decide whom can he really trust and find out why those with power and money have taken an interest in him, the lives of average people insignificant to them.Heroines
Himitsu is Nikolai’s childhood friend. She is kind, caring, she always worries for him, sometimes even too annoyingly so. But is simple friendship really enough for her? Perhaps, the years of devotion earned her something more?
Catherine is Nikolai’s ex-girlfriend who left Japan about a year before the beginning of the game’s events. Their parting wasn’t the prettiest, and Nikolai still carries quite uncomfortable memories about it. Perhaps he would have forgotten them with time, but Catherine suddenly returns and, moreover, transfers into his class. Why did she return? Does she still love him? Does he still love her?
Ellie is the granddaughter of the board chairman of the school Nikolai goes to. She is a self-willed, proud girl and thinks highly of herself, but cannot be said to lack ardour. Is everything really as simple as it looks at the first glance, or is there more than meets the eye behind the image of a spoiled young lady?
Kagome is the representative of Nikolai’s class. He has never paid attention to her before, but a certain sequence of events makes them come to know each other. Kagome isn’t loved in the school, and she isn’t really burning with desire to become friends with anyone either. Is there a reason for her behaviour? What hides behind the facade of a simple unsociable girl? What secrets does she hide?
