How does player support help the developer?

Comments and feedback are a big support for someone who’s doing this mainly out of passion. Support doesn’t always have to be monetary; comments like yours mean a lot.

Do the points in the skill tree serve any purpose?

Right now, the points don't have a big effect yet, but they're not just for show. Each branch (Love / NTR / NTS) will get its own skills soon, which will help the player, reveal extra info about characters, or unlock new interactions. So your points will definitely be useful in upcoming updates.

What happens after reaching 'Later that morning' on Day 9?

If nothing appears after 'Later that morning,' it sounds like a bug. There’s supposed to be a dev note at the end, so if you don't see anything, it's likely an issue that needs reporting.

Why should I do a clean start for this update?

A clean install/restart is recommended because many systems have been updated behind the scenes. The free version goes up to Day 9, while the Patreon version continues up to Day 15 with all three routes: ❤ LOVE NTS NTR. A fresh start will likely fix any issues you're experiencing.

Why does the game have multiple paths for each character?

Each character can have 4 different routes, leading to around 16+ variations with multiple characters. The developer aims to balance meaningful choices while keeping the story manageable. A Timeline system is being developed to allow players to explore different outcomes without replaying everything from the beginning.

What does Patreon support provide?

Patreon supporters get early access to new chapters and updates, which become free once the next update releases. This model helps fund development and allows for faster release cycles compared to waiting multiple updates before making content public.

Why is there a Patreon code?

The code is reserved for people directly supporting the project on Patreon/SubscribeStar, providing access to new versions first as a thank-you. The current version will become free once the next update releases anyway.

What is the HAK crap mentioned in the game?

The term 'HAK' refers to an issue where evidence doesn't appear and players can only spend skill points, suggesting that certain features or paths are not fully functional.

How do I get a code requested by the game?

You need to obtain any requested codes through Patreon. There is currently a bug with the password system which may be fixed in future updates.

What should I do if I can't progress past chapter 9?

To proceed beyond chapter 9, you must wait for the next update or subscribe to the developer's Patreon. This will grant access to additional content and help support the project.

How do I fix crashes when running the game on Windows?

If you're experiencing crashes while trying to run the game on Windows, follow these steps: 1. Close the game. 2. Press Windows + R. 3. Type %APPDATA% and press Enter. 4. Open the iNTeRcepted folder (or the folder with the game's name). 5. Delete the folder (or move it somewhere else as a backup if you want). 6.

When does paywalled content become free?

The latest updates are Hailey's Days 16-20 (for Patrons) and Mason's Days 9-15 (now free). The next expected update might be Lena, though this is speculative.

How does the game update system work?

The game updates one character at a time. Each major update adds new days for one character. Once a new update is released, the previous update becomes free and no longer requires a code. For example, Lena's Days 9-15 became free when Hailey’s update was released.

What are the latest updates available to Patrons?

Patrons get access to Chapter 2 (Build 2.1) which includes Lena's Love, NTR and NTS routes for Days 16-20. Free users get Chapter 2 (Build 2.0) with Hailey’s Love, NTR and NTS routes for Days 16-20.

Why do some updates require a Patreon code?

The most recent character update is exclusive to Patrons until the next update is released, after which it becomes free. For example, Hailey's latest update was initially exclusive but later became available for everyone.

What should I do if I encounter performance issues on Android?

Clearing cache and data might help resolve lagging issues. If problems persist, send a screenshot to the developer with your platform, game version, selected character, and route details.

Game Story and Immersion

• The game focuses on immersion, realism, and atmosphere rather than traditional visual novel presentation.
• Consider using phone hacking mechanics to interrupt or delay intimate moments between characters, adding a layer of suspense and realism.

Character Development and Relationships

• Ensure the main character (MC) is not overly restricted in their physical capabilities. For example, if only one leg is affected, allow for normal sexual interactions.
• Allow secondary characters to develop relationships with the MC based on player choices.
• Explore different naming variables for characters to ensure proper identification in dialogue and interactions.

Player Choices and Routes

• Provide flexibility in character definitions such as 'landlady' to let players define relationships.
• Include multiple routes for different story outcomes depending on player decisions.
• You choose a route for every character on Day 8. The NTR route starts roughly from Day 10 onward; for Evelyn it begins earlier due to interactions with the manager.
• Chapter 2, which starts at Day 16, focuses primarily on Hailey and introduces more significant developments.

Game Mechanics

• Understand the variable system used for character names to avoid naming conflicts that can affect immersion.
• When encountering a crashing bug in chapter 9, save your progress from day 1 to day 9 at the start of each chapter. Then advance through the chapters and mark days individually to prevent confusion in the game's code.
• If you're updating from a very old version (especially pre-v3) and encounter bugs, freezes, missing events, or progression issues, consider deleting the game's AppData folder before starting a new playthrough. This can resolve conflicts with older persistent data systems.
• To delete the AppData folder on Windows: 1. Close the game. 2. Press Windows + R, type %APPDATA%, and press Enter. 3. Open the iNTeRcepted folder (or the folder with the game's name). 4. Delete the folder or move it as a backup if you want to retain your data.
• Deleting the AppData folder will erase local saves, settings, Gallery progress, Card Vault collection, achievements, and other persistent data. Backup these elements before proceeding.
• HAK activates on Day 2 but unlocks only on Day 3 when you obtain your first skill points with the first 'Skill Point Choice' question.
• You can share characters with other friends, such as the best friend of the MC in NTS route.
• Version v4 of the game fixed issues related to stuck chats that were present in previous versions.
