== Updates & Patches (2018) ==

=== Content Update (May 25, 2018) ===
* Movement with WASD keys added in response to feedback about mouse-only movement.
* Lesbian H-scenes added. Female characters with the "Into girls" trait can now be seen having lesbian H-scenes around school. However, since it's not a threesome, the protagonist cannot participate—only observe. If the female characters are not in a lewd state, they may notice the protagonist's gaze and flee if approached carelessly (e.g., using Shift or Z key).
** Adding the "Bitchy" and "Into Girls" traits to all female students turns the school into a nymphomaniac asylum. They engage in acts in open areas like the school entrance or hallway, not just secluded spots like the infirmary or restroom. After school, they can be seen doing this endlessly. If two female students are in one place, there's a high chance...
* Non-con H-scenes with teachers added.

=== Major Free Update (June 1, 2018) ===
* Saturdays are no longer combined with holidays and revert to regular school days where students wear casual clothes. The schedule changes from "Fri &rarr; Holiday &rarr; Mon" back to "Fri &rarr; Sat &rarr; Sun &rarr; Mon."
* A special H-location added to the infirmary. If the protagonist sleeps on the infirmary bed and has had H-experience with an NPC (H-degree ≥50%) or if Rina-sensei is in the infirmary before sleeping (2+ H-scenes), she may visit randomly to provide services. --This means taking longer to lie down for quick saves!--
* New sex positions added:
** "Hurdle Onani" added to the gym storage.
** "Vault Back" special H-point added to the gym storage map.
** "Missionary" special H-point added to the men's staff restroom.
* Other additions: New hairstyles, clothes, and accessory parts.

=== Update (July 28, 2018) ===
* New personality trait "Easygoing" added.
* Sleeping on the rooftop bench may attract an NPC (with H-experience and H-degree ≥50%) randomly to provide services. Similar to the infirmary, but the math teacher appears instead of the nurse.
* Other additions: New sex positions and studio-related updates.
