After the untimely death of their mother, Rakesh Bakshi finds himself navigating the challenges of parenting his four children—The twins Alisha and Asim, Bevis, and the youngest, Darsh. The family’s dynamics are further complicated by the arrival of their 25-year-old aunt/uncle, the MC, who is secretly a spy.

Amidst the chaos, the MC encounters five potential romantic interests: Bo Wu, Rakesh’s best friend; Rakesh himself; Grace Clarke, a celebrity; S Smith, the neighbor; and Charlie Andrew, the teacher.

I’m found a bug in the character customization for height, the only thing you can put down is 120

Yes I forgot to publish it actually- but I will probably update it on sunday and also soulmate

Thank you I look into it, at the right side from choosing the height there are also two up and down arrows, 120 is the lowest and its working with me. could you tell me if the problem remains?

Also when I choose the charismatic personality, it takes out the opposite personality but I have to choose it again sense it doesn’t show I choose it, but the rest are fine

When its the first to choose then it will not be gray but chosen, I will write it there now and update it

There’s an error regarding tattoos location and I’d suggest getting rid of the height where it asks you to input the number. Instead just use the options of short, average or tall

Thank you for the information! I will do it with the height like you said and get rid of the error

I’m interested in the plot of the story as a family; I’ll play it when the error that prevents the story from loading, as mentioned in a previous comment, is fixed n,n

Found the error where it doesn’t start.

The problem is the *sm_init code isn’t valid. Deleting it continued with the game, at least to the prologue.

snorts lol we are a very fine agent when we get hit by a ball and go unconscious :joy:
I love the start of the story (it’s sad we lost our big sister) and I can’t wait to meet the kids :heart:
Say, do we know Bo at the start? If not you should describe him mostly without his name. He does introduce himself when he meets us.
