The total game time is about an hour!
But if you go looking for every possible event then... probably longer? LMAO
If you need help and find yourself stuck in the loop (haha) there is a cheatsheet included in the game files that should be able to help you :D
The Dolce 2.0 update includes some extra conversations with a few characters and you gain the ability to ditch school!! And there's also a gallery now :)
The original story stays the same though. I just really wanted to go back and refine somethings that have been bothering me for a while, haha.
ALSO HOPEFULLY THER ARE NO (OR LESS) TYPOS THIS TIME!!

Forty-two loops and a spreadsheet later, I finally got them to make up and stay that way. This was cute! And weird! The
background gays, sorry, teachers were adorable. And I'm absolutely certain I didn't manage to unlock everything!Favourite part, though, I think is still picking the similar tea. It was like watching a trainwreck in slow motion. 'I wonder if you get closer if you share the drink she's hav-- oh no. Oh crAP. LOL'
HAHA, thank you!!
Honestly, it doesn't really matter how many days it takes for you to break out of the loop, it's only a fun statistic to keep track of :> But I'm glad you enjoyed it and the characters!
The background gays have their own story, which is a prequel to this one. It's still WIP though ;;7;;

WELP. Looks like I know what I'm playing next. :D
It was… Surprisingly good. Not a fan of the story mechanic, I felt a lot of combinations didn’t change much, I ended up trying things randomly until I got the rest ^^’ (…35 days. I feel almost sorry for myself. Blind bruteforce is bad)
Still was kinda sweet. Wish there were a bit more of romance moment ! Or have you hidden secrets youuuu wouldn’t riiiight ? :3
Anyway, the drawings were cute, the side-stories didn’t always pan out relevant but had some insight to them.
Quality stuff !
…In place of the heroine I guess I would try more foolish decision tho. Like trying to say very embarrassing things knowing I wouldn’t need to assume them :p (reminds me of that one episode of Star Gate when the “perfect little soldier” loses his mind in the end and start the day by kissing his crush in front of all, and plays golf in the war room because why not !).
Thanks for playing!! I'm glad you ended up liking it :>
I'm not good at writing romance stuff, so I guess you can say I chickened out, haha. But I'm going to do my best to improve my writing so the next solo game I make will be better!
Thank you again! :)
