***This is a visual novel made for a high school assignment and as such may include older themes*** Contents: 1 - How to Play 2 - Speedrun strategies ***SPOILERS*** 1. How to Play - Press on things to open them. - Click the text boxes to continue. - To close cutscenes, press the text box. - To close everything else, press the visual/character. - If choice boxes fail to appear where they probably should, try closing and reopening the character. ***WARNING: If you click things too fast, there's a higher chance to encounter bugs*** 2. Speedrun Strategies for repeat playthroughs: - Clicking on family member once = talked to them, no need to finish conversation - You can sleep without talking to Bumble - Em will always appear at the escalator after about 17 seconds - To make a leave-bedroom-for choice, you only need to click through Scarlet or Em's text messages (Scarlet is faster)
