Once the main program (T_LOVE95.EXE) starts, you have no normal
Windows controls unless you use keyboard commands, e.g. Alt-Tab. The
mouse does all the work in the game. Right- or left-click while text
is slowly printing out to finish it.
The Photoshop shows up as the "CG ROOM" option on the main menu. It
starts out with 11 entries all at 0%. Click on a girl's name, and then
you get the pictures in the photoshop for her, one at a time. Each one
is shown with two options: the bottom one exits back to the main menu,
the top one goes on to the next picture. When you get to the last
picture, it goes back to the CG menu. You will get sick and tired of
that "venetian blind" transition effect here, and while playing the
game.
The Music player has 15 selections. To switch to a different
selection, press the ">>" or "<=15) Fatigue

Can only buy one each of energy drink, study book, art book per
shopping trip.
There's a random event where you find 10,000 yen in an envelope.
Your father will give you 10,000 yen when he visits one day in August.
Apparently the Anze sequence is supposed to involve you seeing a
fortune teller during play, but I didn't see him until the end.
The fortune teller, if you meet him, should charge you 300, 500, or
1000 yen to give you some hints. Some of these hints are:
You may find luck if you get bad test results on purpose.
You may get something good if you keep your grades up.
You may meet a young-looking girl at the beach (probably refers to
Arisa and the swimming contest).
I see ears and a tail... (gives $ back) Keep your Passion high!
(probably refers to Anze)
(500 yen) I see a girl, a man & a woman in the student counsel room.
You will meet Miss Yumi when drunk.
(300 yen) Watch your promises to 2 girls, do you like cats?
The game text is in the DATE file (DATG for German). A lot of what is
mentioned above is from there, so don't be surprised if I got a few
things wrong, or they can never happen in the game.
The boss at the part-time job (WORK) is Remi's father.
Work always pays 3000 yen, raises Physical Strength and Fatigue, but
lowers Appearance and possibly Scholarship & Art.
When you get to September 30, the game will give you an opportunity
to save, then let you pick a girl to propose to. You'll probably have
only a few of the total that may say yes, some you may have seen only
once in this particular play of the game. Pick one, then you find out
if she likes you too - if she does, you get one more picture (several
more for Anze) and then the credits; if she doesn't, you get a speech
and the credits. Either way, the credits are really annoying after
the first time you see them... I couldn't find any way to speed them
up! They do mention there may be a sequel.
My first time playing, I managed to get all the statistics up to
maximum at least once (except Fatigue), and be able to choose between
Mikae, Remi and Anze by backing up to 9/27 and either doing or
skipping the date with Remi. So you shouldn't have any trouble getting
the highest statistic values if you concentrate on them, I think you
can get some up to maximum even faster if you work and spend money on
the shop items.
