I'm going to be the voice of dissent. I don't like totally linear games. With 4 different kinds of drinks and 5 location choices, the odds of getting everything in the right order are just too high. A game where every choice you make but one is wrong..is not a fair game. You have no clues what she likes to drink, that I could find. Every time we go to the garden, its' the wrong time. A player must have a decent chance to succeed to want to continue to restart time and time again.

And there should be a password, like in Puusoy's games which allow you to bypass the first day if you've already succeeded there.

This was firstly proposed as an experimental game, and Cugel did note its limitations as far as its linearity. As to 4 drinks and 5 locations you are told that there are clues to guide you. There is also one thing you should think about and that is being responsible.

Yup. I know. :)

Wouldn't you know it? I went back to the game and first time through I found the key to figuring it out.
Makes absolute, perfect sense. So I have to eat my words. However, there's a "red" herring in the house than can trick you into making the wrong decision later.

Game turned out to be pretty good. The scenes were very smooth, best I've seen in this genre of game.

As far as I'm concerned, this game is impossible. It seems that the only thing I can click on in any room is the radio in the kitchen. In all other rooms, I either can't find anything to click on or she gets mad if I do click on something.

WTF? Can anyone please help? This game is beyond frustrating!

If you want to see, what you can hit, just try to hit the distance-button.

OK, I managed to get to the 2nd date. Now, it's telling me I missed finding 1 or 2 things in the house. I found the camera, and apparently I also need to find a swimsuit. I looked everywhere, but all I can find is the camera?

Can anyone help?

Also, what is the distance button?

Sorry, but I don't know, how exactly the term for distance-button is (maybe the "paragraph" or "brake"). I only have a German keyboard: Maybe the button is named: "Space" ( it is the button with you can forward the writing-cursor to a point, which is in more distance as the space-button ( it is the first left button on the third row of the keyboard)

On our keyboards, it's called the "Tab" key. Thanks for that tip.

I still can't figure out which order to visit the sites in so I guess I'm stuck there too. I can't figure out how you'd ever get to 4 drinks either since it seems that after you visit a place you can't go back, and I've only been able to get 2 drinks in her when I go to the bar.

This game is REALLY frustrating.

2 drinks? And how does she describe herself? Follow that clue. After that you have to decide on the right order for the other locations.

For drinking, it's very logical: you need to stay alive :)

There is clue when you visit random location: desert is too hot under the sun.

The last clue is shared between all date game: you need lower girl inhibition through alcool before getting her naked.

With that, you need only found the right order between garden and lake. :)

I really like this game. Not too hard and not too easy too. The right balance for me ^^
