Overview

A Lot of Ways is a 3D dating sim for players who want a slow-burn mystery mixed with college-life drama. The tone leans dramatic and personal, with romance woven into a darker undercurrent.

Story

After his father is murdered under mysterious circumstances, the protagonist moves in with his father's partner and his half-sister to start college. A hidden box of journals and photos points to something bigger: his father had been investigating a network of corruption, and the people now closest to the protagonist may each hold a piece of that puzzle. Uncovering the truth means getting closer to the people his father once trusted, and closer to the reasons he was killed.

Gameplay

Players guide the protagonist through college life and household routines, building relationships with the women around him while following clues tied to his father's investigation. Choices shape how far each relationship goes, including a distinct netorare route that runs alongside the main romance path but can be avoided. Dialogue decisions and story progression steadily reveal more of the corruption plot as trust and intimacy grow.

Features

Dual-route structure separating a loyalty-focused path from an avoidable netorare route
Real-life photography style visuals throughout
Mystery plot tied directly to character relationships rather than kept separate from them

Changelog

v0.2.3

NEW CONTENT — LOVE ROUTE Five new story quests, one for each girl who didn't get one in the last update:
Nataly — "First to See": the new gloves, a Saturday at the gym, and her place afterwards.
Julie — "Race Day": her first 10K, Sunday morning at the park.
Katarine — "Dinner": an evening at her place, and the photos she hasn't shown anyone.
Violet — "Second Harvest": a morning at the hives, and a sink that can deal with the honey.
Olivia — "Thursday After Six": Thai food, a map of the delta, and an answer to her hypothesis. Each quest comes with:
an arrival scene at her place,
a 10-video scene (longer than any quest sequence so far),
a new phone conversation afterwards,
its own entry in the Gallery.
STORY — LOVE ROUTE A consistency pass over the whole Love route (around 100 fixes):
the timeline of your father's investigation,
who knows what, and when,
character titles and jobs,
texts that arrived before you had exchanged numbers.
STORY — NTR ROUTE A consistency pass over the whole NTR route (around 200 fixes across all eight girls and their rivals):
Texts no longer contradict the scene you just played.
Quest times now match the text (Rose's Sunday is in the morning, Katarine's visit is on Saturday, and so on).
Each rival's video now has a single, consistent source: he sends it to your phone.
Old saves: Sophie and Emily could not be interacted with on the Love route.
Old saves: Rose's quest at the checkout never started.
Emily's "The Trail" now shows that Sophie's "What He Left Behind" must be finished first.
NTR: the opening could get stuck on "Explore the city".
NTR: delivering Katarine's letter did nothing if you had already met her.
NTR: Katarine could introduce herself twice.
NTR: an old scene in the teachers' room could play on the NTR route.
NTR: the kitchen showed Sophie's icon in an empty room.
NTR: Katarine's NTR intro no longer appears on the Love route.
NTR: replaying Kofi's video from the phone no longer adds corruption every time.
NTR: leaving Olivia's house no longer starts her next quest ten minutes later on the same day.
Clicking the text of a numbered choice, instead of the number, now works.
The "Met ..." notice no longer repeats for girls you already know.
The phone has a close button again.
A few lines showed the wrong time of day.
INTERFACE AND MEDIA
The title screen no longer scrolls on smaller screens; it scales to fit.
Quiet video clips were brought up to the same volume as the rest.
Updated update calendar and supporters list. Thank you!
