AI Videos and Game Progression

• The AI videos can become repetitive and intrusive. Consider skipping them to focus on other aspects of the game.
• After completing renovations, there may be limited content left to do, leading to an endless cycle with no new activities or items to discover.

Corruption Level Limitations

• To advance beyond corruption level 1/10, ensure all possible interactions and choices have been made to maximize character relationships and progression.
• If encountering errors after maxing out female MCs and trying to access objects or scenes like bedroom 2 or the bathroom, check for any outstanding quests or dialogue options that may still be available.

Video Playback Issues

• Install the VP9 codec to resolve black screen issues with .webm videos. The K-Lite Codec Pack (free) is a recommended solution.
• Update your GPU drivers to ensure proper video playback, especially if you encounter black screens despite other elements working correctly.
• Run the game as Administrator by right-clicking the .exe file and selecting 'Run as administrator' to bypass potential permission issues.
• Temporarily disable your antivirus software to check if it is blocking .webm files during gameplay.
• To skip the 'skip' button, press the up arrow key twice followed by enter to advance the video.
• Consider using a mod or patch if available that allows the spacebar to function as an alternative method for advancing videos.
