The game is designed to be played in 16:9 1920x1080. When playing in any other resolution, the UI may appear somewhat out of place + parts of the screen might be cut off. 

Please note that the game was designed to be played with head/earphones on and all audio turned on. Sprite expression changes are timed with the voice acting & SFX at the default text reveal speed, so if you change the text reveal speed or skip through text, stuff may play slightly out of time.

Occasionally, when skipping text, sprites may fail to complete movement and appear incorrectly on the screen, you can fix this by rewinding one line of text.

Sometimes when loading up a save, an incorrect background will be displayed. You can fix this either by rewinding one line of text or by reloading the save again.
(I don't know what causes this, I saw it mentioned by another dev in the Naninovel support Discord and followed the advice given to try and resolve it, but it didn't make any difference, so I will contact support myself to see if it can be fixed somehow.)

- Opening the game on Mac -

I personally don't own a Mac, so I can't even test my Mac builds (or Linux ones, for that matter!) but over the years, various Mac users have helped me to compile a list of suggestions on how to get itch.io games for Mac working :3 You can find that list in a text document within the game download folder, or you can view it in this post here.

The most common solution seems to be to download the itch.io and launch all itch games via that :3

I recently upgraded to a new version of Unity with additional build options for Mac, and I had no idea what any of them meant, nor could I find an answer that I could understand when looking it up >.< I used the default one that said it's Intel x64 & Apple Silicon combined, whatever that means!
