Heartstring Bugs [dating sim, otome] (Guide's up)
Heartstring Bugs
Genre: Slice of Life, Otome, and Supernatural
Game Play: Dating Sim - This is a simulation, it differs from a visual novel. I had to write that because people keep misunderstanding the simulation part of it.
After having a disappointing first year of high school, Elly wants to open herself up to other people. A chance encounter with a baby virus grants her the ability to see emotions of other people, which also gives her an extra boost of confidence. Raise Elly's stats and watch the events unfold!
Features:
-Original character art and backgrounds
-An original sound track
-Five love interests, and three friendships
-Over 200,000 words
-Event-based, stat-raising system
-Clothing system
-3 high school years (Approximately 4 hours per play through)
Characters:

Troubleshooting
If you run into a black screen, or if images in the game don't display properly (clothes don't display in the game), you may have to...
1.)Update your graphics drivers
2.)Update Direct X
3.)Try to force the game to read from a different driver. Press shift and enter to load the game. The game should open and look like the image attached. Cycle through the choices starting from to see which one works. Credits:

Re: Heartstring Bugs [dating sim, otome]
Hello!
I've tried out your game, and I was really impressed by it. It had a quirky story and I love the characters I've seen so far. I was planning on offering feedback after I had completed at least a few playthroughs of it, but I ran into an error/glitch.
The clothes don't show up at all. When I'm trying to buy clothes, all I see are blank spaces with the price listed below. I bought one piece of clothing, but it didn't show up in my inventory. I randomly guessed where it was, and it appeared on my character, but it doesn't appear at any other time.
Thought you'd like to know.

Re: Heartstring Bugs [dating sim, otome]
I downloaded and it works fine!!! It looks pretty cool!!
Though I have some problems! When buying clothes or a costume i can't go back, I mean just get stuck watching the clothes. What ever I click on it doesn't gets me back :/ is there a button I should pick or something?

Hi Venus I am currently playing now and I sort have the same problem as RunicV. Good thing I found your instructions on your forum and I am now updating my drivers. I hadn't thought of that.
