Skills

Like in the previous game, memory points will be converted to skill points on the diary screen at the end of a day, which can then be used to buy skills. Most skills cost 70 points, but Silence is the most expensive skill, costing 300 points.

Quite a few skills need to be unlocked first, most of them will be unlocked by simply playing the game. So play the game, do everything you can do. For some skills you need to buy or win an item, at the lottery for example, which then unlocks the skill in the “buy skills” menu.

Besides Silence and Clean Up, here are the most important skills to get as early as possible.

“Power of Time” will cut time consumed for actions in half, so you will be able to do much more things during a time period.
“Treasure Hunter” gives you the ability to rummage through closets or cardboard boxes when no one else is in the room, this is the only way to get certain items which are needed for certain events.
“Lockpicking” won’t let you open all locked doors but is needed for Kagami or opening toilet doors.
“Nightwalker” lets you stay awake after midnight, needed for sleep sex, secret shop and some events.
“Infinite Film” is not a necessary but very useful skill, with it you can take as many photos as you want and progress faster with Rio.

Then there are the following secret skills. Again, after the skills are unlocked you still need to buy them.

“Lady Luck’s Favor” is a secret skill that is unlocked by donating 5.000 Yen in total to the offering box. This will significantly raise your luck and no more bad luck from the Omikuji at all. It will also give you point bonuses for many things.
“Time Travel” is another secret skill, you need to donate 10.000 Yen in total to the offering box to unlock it, but it has to be after New Year. So even if you already donated close to 10.000, wait with the rest after New Year. If you donated more than 10.000 before New Year you need to make one more donation after New Year to unlock it. Anyway, buying that skill will move you back to January 1st with all of your progress still intact, so use it at the end of January 10th to get the most out of it. It can only be used once per run.
“Kiss” is a coax skill, you need to donate 5 items instead of money to the offering box.

Lust

“Begging Skill” is your happiness to increase your “Lust”, By asking the heroines to show their breasts Boku will increase his Lust, Other “Begging skill” like “Rub panties” make you decrease your Lust, Keep in mind that all these interactions consume your time (Divided by 2 if you have the skill “Secret of Shuji”

Other skills can probably do in the future, like Cunnilingus or Analingus, increase Boku’s Lust gauge by a very large amount, in exchange for a large amount of time.

In any case, making H-Dot without Lust will not give you any memory, 0x0=0 you need Lust to “spend” once Boku cum to create “memories” but it is not lost for all that, You can also use it to gain exp.

Rewind

You can go back in time from January 2nd to January 1st* It is important to activate Rewind Time on the last day (not on the 11th, as this is the departure day). You can only Rewind Time once.

You need to donate 10k yens to the Shrine.
