Interacting with Characters

• To progress in the daughter's storyline, bear hug the daughter at the door and do not peek. When questioned about it later, say she was drinking soda.
• While interacting with the mother, peek her while you are drinking and respond affirmatively when asked if you were drinking as well. Peek the daughter before leaving to visit the cemetery.
• During a poll offer a beer and peek three times, then make a deal. When questioned about the mother's condition, say yes.

Navigating Relationships

• Sex with the mother might be necessary for certain story progression but it could complicate obtaining other scenes.
• It is possible that not having sex with the mother may still allow you to progress in the daughter's storyline, though this has not been confirmed.
• If you reject Cara's inked-up friend during the pool scene, you miss out on significant content with Cara and Nicole. Consider accepting her invitation to continue exploring these relationships.
• Ensure you do not skip any highlighted sections as they are crucial for progressing through important storylines.

Character Development

• To advance further with Clara without using a gallery unlocker, continue making choices that lead to her removing her top. Further progression may require additional specific interactions or decisions.

Game Mechanics

• To prevent skipping interactable items, use the code "$ _skipping = False" to make sure you don't miss any important interactions.
• When using a built-in walkthrough feature (if added), look for different colored outlines (green or red) around interactables to indicate whether clicking them is necessary.
