It is certainly shaping up that way, "A Single Moment" and "Vicious Intrigue" are both pointing toward the ability to make amends with the girl you went against in Season 1. Judging by the inclusion of additional Moments in Season 2 it's pretty obvious that they aren't just going to be a one and done thing. Personally I'm eager for the rest of the Moments of Cupidity route, mending Maxine and Lindsey's friendship would be great!

In case you need spoilers in your next playthrough go down the Lindsey route until the Quest "Nothing Wrong With Me" and when prompted choose to follow Maxine. This will start you down the Maxine route and open up the ability to start "The Dive" in Season 2.

Good luck!

Gotcha. Yeah that would be the reason you couldn't find it. Time to start yet another playthrough! XD

If by The Bell you are referring to the new Maxine Quest "The Dive" in v1.45.2 then it is likely you simply don't meet the requirements to initiate that Quest. Was your playthrough of "Hot My Bot" reached via Chapter Select or through a long play? If it is a long play did you choose to follow Maxine during "Nothing Wrong with Me" or did you go with Lindsey? If you could provide a little more information we might be able to help answer your question better.

Found a bug in "The Dive", specifically the Chapter Select file as I haven't had time yet to try with a long play file. After going down in the bell the first time and returning home I went to bed as usual. Upon waking up I found that the stack of pizza boxes had reappeared. At that point I should have been going to see Maya so I made a save file to test this and proceeded to eat this new stack of pizzas. Doing so put me in a food coma again as it had the first time as well as giving me another Cardboard. The next day the Quest Guide was still telling me to Quest Maya but I decided to first go check the teacher's desk in the English Class to see if I could get more Duct Tape, which I could not. I then continued the Quest as normal but with the extra Cardboard in my inventory.

1. Yes, there are multiple opportunities with most everyone you can encounter as of v1.44.1

2. Funnily enough the photo of the Nurse seems to have been printed off your smartphone... You just have to catch her in a compromising situation either during "Loser to the Rescue" or "Photogenic"

3. It really depends on what sort of person you would like to be. For me personally I'm quite partial to more vanilla wholesome stuff so I usually go after Flora or Lindsey. If you don't like anyone you meet in the first couple days you could always hold out on the romancing until Season 2 and go after Maya, though there isn't anywhere near as much stuff for her yet. If you like a good mystery there are also quite a number of hidden secrets around the school...

Sorry about the wait, unfortunately I wasn't able to recreate the issue. My suggestion would be to load an earlier save and run the quest again. Sorry I couldn't be of help. :(

Interesting. I haven't really looked into that route with the Nurse yet so that could explain why I couldn't recreate your issue. It just goes to show that even after 2319 hours I still haven't seen everything that they have put into this game.

No problem. There is technically a Fandom page for this game but it is severely lacking in anything useful and I have no clue how to use that site's features. At last check for me the only things you can find are a list of feats (which they have listed as achievements), a dubious item list, and some sprite.

Hello again! First things first, I was unable to recreate a scenario in which I was locked out of completing the Quest, so let's see if we can figure it out. I'm assuming you talked to the nurse and didn't ask to borrow her costume, had you done so you should have found yourself carried (inside the box) to the party. If that is correct then the Nurse should have pushed you into her office in order to hide you from Kate and her friends, at which point you should no longer see the box in the hall. If that is what you did and you still see the box then it is a bug, however you may still be able to complete the Quest if you have a save and wish to try again. Just go into the Nurse's Office during that portion of the Quest and Interact with the bed and you will make your own costume which upon acquiring will disable the Guard and allow you into the upstairs and then the party. Hopefully this was of some use to you, good luck!

No, your pronunciation is fine. I just misunderstood, I had assumed you already knew about Lindsey's accident being unavoidable. Also you are very welcome, I'm glad to be able to assist my fellow fans figure things out here. :)

It seems I misunderstood you (or more specifically your question). Unfortunately no matter what actions you take she will fall. The only thing you can change is whether or not you are there for her afterward. :(

Can you describe how far into the quest you are as well as where in the school you are? That information will make assisting you much easier.

While I still haven't worked out exactly what the minimum requirements are I do know that if you want to be there for her you must have chosen to try to save her from falling. In order to choose to save her you must have (once again I'm still not sure which) either a certain level of Love/Lust, or completed X number of Lindsey Quests. As soon as Season 2 starts and you have finished your first visit to Homeroom all you have to do is wait a week and the Quest "Touched by an Angel" will automatically start.

Good luck and hope you continue to enjoy the game! :)

You're welcome! :)

This game is well worth your time. There is quite a bit of content already posted, it's updated regularly, the story is a lot of fun, the art style is quite nice, the humor is great, and there are a fair number of secrets. I can't recommend it enough!

In order to awaken Kate you need to have gotten at least three Moments of Glory. Here's a list of the six you can get in Season 1 that came from TimeWizardStudios (I think their Twitter if memory serves).

From what you described I'm guessing this is your first run through. In that case all you can do is play, play, play. As you complete more scenes they will gradually unlock in the gallery. If there's anything specific you already know about and want to see you can also go to Chapter Select and start at the beginning of the quest containing the scene you're after.

Quick correction, Isabelle does NOT have to be in the Entrance Hall to be able to start the "Stolen Hearts" Quest. Sorry about that...

Found another Bug after answering (or trying to at least) a question pertaining to the Lindsey "Hate" Route. If you flirt with Lindsey after refusing to help her in the Gym but before you Quest her (the one that either locks "Hate" Route or begins "Lindsey's Mercy") she will be able to gain love and lust points as though nothing has happened even though a pop up had said romancing was disabled for Lindsey previously. As always thanks for all your efforts on this amazing game!

The first time you can get it is in the Quest "Loser to the Rescue". When Lindsey runs into you in the Gym have Isabelle stay with her while you get the Nurse from her office. When you enter the room Interact with the curtain and choose to pull it back and then tell her to "Smile for the camera!" or you could choose "Huh! It looks exactly like you were having a very wet daydream about the English teacher!" then "Just one for the yearbook, okay?".

The second chance is during the Quest "Photogenic" which you start by drinking a bottle of strawberry juice then going upstairs to the First Hall. No matter what you choose you will wind up outside the Nurse's Office and encounter the same scenario as your first opportunity.

That blue faced icon means you have to be on the Lindsey "Hate" route to use that particular interaction. If you want to access it you need to be an absolute monster to her every time you interact with her. It doesn't matter if you go Isabelle or Kate.

During "Day 1, Take 2" when Lindsey trips on the wet floor sign choose to enjoy the view

Then during "Loser to the Rescue" when Lindsey crashes into you in the gym say "She should've paid more attention." and then "Pass"

Once you have finished "Tour de School" and Lindsey becomes available to interact with again Quest her and say "Well, suck it up, princess. Life's not a bed of roses."

This will permanently lock you into the Lindsey "Hate" route. There isn't too much in it as of v1.44.1 and a fair number of interactions don't reflect your actions toward her at all. Who knows what the future holds though.

This is pretty much from memory so I might have forgotten a bit here and there but this should be your path

First off you should obviously be kind to Lindsey and choose answers/options that make her happy

Once you have completed the "Tour de School" intro quest chain (choosing the Isabelle MQL) go quest Lindsey to start the "Fully Booked" quest.

When that is done you should be able to approach and Quest her again then going from the Entrance Hall up the stairs to the First Hall starting the "Nothing Wrong With Me" quest.

During that quest choose to help Lindsey instead of following up with Maxine's theory.

Then it should be "Dead Girl's Score" by talking to (or maybe questing) Lindsey in the Gym. You'll have to fix the piano like you would for the "Twisted Desire" and "Chops and Nocs" quests.

I believe you must then quest Isabelle while she is in the Entrance Hall to start the "Stolen Hearts" quest. (While not necessary it would probably be wise to tell Isabelle that Kate took the chocolates.)

At that point you should be able to go into the Gym one more time and quest Lindsey to start "A Beautiful Motive". (For best results turn down painting someone naked)

Hope this was helpful, good luck!

Sure thing, always glad to help. :)

Sorry to say your kinda stuck with you current run and will have to just go with the flow or start a new run. Kate and Isabelle are mutually exclusive routes, though the Season 2 Kate & Isabelle main quest lines do seem to be setting up the possibility to make peace with the girl you went against. Also at the present time no matter what you do Lindsey is going to fall. The only thing you can change about the scenario is whether you stand by and watch or try to save her.

Sorry to disappoint you but that is a negative. As of now the game has no voice acting and I haven't seen any talk about that being planned. It would be cool though.

So I found another couple issues with "Chili Con Carnal Sin". A couple updates ago Jo's background sprite stopped showing up in front of the mini fridge when you go down to get milk for Flora. The mini fridge still has the same dialogue about putting your hand between her legs if you just try to access it without first distracting her. Her dialogue sprite also still shows up once you have successfully distracted her too.

The other I just found via chapter select, though using a save from a full run also netted the same results. If you wait until after you have given Flora the skirt in "Stainless Steal" to collect and bring home the cooking pot in "Chili Con Carnal Sin" Flora's background sprite will show her wearing her jeans even though her dialogue sprite will show her with the chef's hat and skirt. This inconsistency also shows up once you come back down after getting her phone. You will find her jeans on the floor instead of her skirt.

I'm currently trying my hand at making a full FAQ/walkthrough for this beast of a game so I'll keep my eyes open for more issues as I keep replaying everything. It's my first time trying something like this and it has made me come to appreciate even more just how much work you have put into this thing. I'm only 146,000 words in and it feels like it's taken forever just to do that. So thank you again for the incredible amount of work you put into making this thing!

Your welcome! Hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us have. :)

It has been a lot of fun but be warned, Chapter 3 can really hurt. Be prepared to cry. Though I suppose that certain things have recently been implemented so you can actually resolve at least one of these painful things pretty quickly.

In case you haven't already got this figured out on your own in the month since you posted your question here are some hopefully useful answers.

First off as of v1.43.1 the soda fountain should aside from a few special scenarios (only the two dreams and the flashback come to mind) always be operational. I'm assuming you are already aware that you need an empty bottle (with or without sprayer head) and $1 to use it. The only time it receives any damage is during the Season 2 Quest "Spell You Later", but the damage is only cosmetic and doesn't actually affect it's functionality.

As far as getting the item "Nurse's Photo" you have two opportunities to get it. The first time is by choosing to go get the Nurse when Lindsey collides with you in the gym during the Quest "Loser to the Rescue". The other option involves using the soda fountain or the trading desk in the English class to get yourself a bottle of Strawberry Juice. After drinking your first bottle of the stuff try to head up the stairs to the First Hall, beginning the quest "Photogenic". If you're after Lindsey's heart it's best to choose "It's probably nothing serious" when you get to the top of the stairs as that will lead to Lindsey helping you get to the Nurse's Office. Doing so also gives you a chance to unlock an as yet unimplemented quest by trying to follow Lindsey instead of entering the Nurse's office immediately.

Regardless of which quest you choose to do this in just enter the Nurse's Office, pull back the curtain, tell her to smile for the camera, and you've got yourself a "helper".

Hope this was at least a little helpful for you. Good luck!

You will need Broken Glass which is gained by throwing the Rock (found in the trash can next to the water fountain in the First Hall) at a hanging light in the Gym. With that in your inventory check the framed quote  to the right of the blackboard in the English Class. You should be able to now use the Broken Glass on it to get the first half.

You're welcome!

It takes a little work to get that going. Firstly you need to scrounge up $1,000 and then start the quest "Wicked Game". You must get kicked out of the building by the Guard and then call Maxine to let you in. When she offers to let you join the A.S.S. you should express interest in perks. She will then bring up T.I.T.S. and give you the choice of which group to join. Tell her you want T.I.T.S. and decide what type you like. I personally go medium, as doing so means a check will be delivered every morning that has a value equal to the day number. (ie. Day 57=$57 check) Hope this helps!

Do you ever sleep? My feed is pretty much nothing but your doings...  XD

Well once again you brought tears to my eyes, I thought I'd be able to jump back in and face her without falling apart but it seems your narrative was once again just too much for me. So from the bottom of my heart thank you for saving Kana! I eagerly await the point where we can do the same for the others too!

Now as for the technical front: 

1. I encountered what I will affectionately term the "Bedbug" debug screen by opening my previous save which had been set in the bedroom. Upon pressing "back" I was unable to find any means of re-entering that screen (short of reloading that save). Not sure if I was supposed to be able to be there but some handsome person seems to have left the door open...

2. Said save file was also one of 3 that I had been messing around in with the Kana Quest "Lyx Loop" bug. This particular file had 2 instances of the "Get Ingredients" lead when it was made and both of those leads remained when I loaded in. Running through the lead twice from start to finish did manage to successfully clear them without any further funny business.

3. I feel it might be beneficial to certain players (myself included) to implement the ability to either skip (via left mouse click) or speed up the clock progression speed. It was quaint the first few times I saw it but quickly got to where it began to feel like it was cutting into the pacing/flow of gameplay. The way it is currently setup feels more like loading screens have been artificially added. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying that the new time system is bad or anything. It's just in its infancy and could use a little more polish before it shines. I believe that having each action take its own amount of time as opposed to everything costing the same will improve the sense of accomplishment at the end of each in-game day.

That about sums up my thoughts on this one. I've been toying with the idea of starting a new play through for a while now to see just how much some of the more recent changes affect the feel of the game, maybe I'll be able to sniff out some more bugs along the way. Thanks again for all your hard work!

I knew it! XD

So we're gonna get some of that cake in the next update, right? Thanks again for all your hard work, it's greatly appreciated!

A man of impeccable taste!

I can't tell you how devastated I was when I got that first ending. I was getting Cave Story vibes before but after that it was much stronger. I am curious, there were a couple jumps in there where I just barely hit an edge and it felt like I slowed down and was able to pull myself up. Was that something that you intentionally put in to forgive players for not quite making the jump or was it maybe a glitch of some kind? Thanks for the awesome game!
