Hello Gamers!

Really quick update here!

I am working on several bugs or issues right now so I hope to have an improved updated download available today or tomorrow. The biggest task will be fixing the issues people are having with the pencil count since they are crucial to two of the three endings. If you have finished the game and are on the edge of your seat or something to see the alternate endings, I do have a video here so you can see them and not be stuck waiting on me! Just know that this issue is the biggest priority and will be resolved as quickly and as soon as possible for you lovelies! Acrylic Academy is aggressive enough without it magically eating your pencils!

EDIT: I am still looking into it but I believe the pencil count should still be correct in achieving the endings. At this point, I believe the only issue is the Pencil Case actually giving the wrong number. In all other respects though, I believe any acquired pencils are being considered for the determination of the ending. If anyone is able to keep track on their own for now, I believe it should all work still. The upcoming update will fix this, however, so you don't have to keep track of that Pencil #.

In the meantime, I have uploaded a spoiler-free guide to the Downloads section to help anyone struggling with some of the puzzles or item collection. Feel free to refer to it if need be! But here are some other basic tips if you want to try to beat the game without it:

* Pay close attention to the bulletin boards and posting. They typically hint to where you should look.

* Don't be afraid to hang onto certain items for later use. If something doesn't have a clear use at the moment (like the "Cheese" item), don't sweat it. The game is a bit long and some things are best saved for later! Some people have worried if it is okay to hang onto the "Cheddar Chunk" given its certain consequences in other locations. It is perfectly fine and you should not have to worry about getting the cheese and then being stuck because of it.

* When obtaining new items, don't be afraid to check out their descriptions. I tried to make a few of them hint at their use for you!

I will be diligently working on the update today and will have it out as soon as I can. Let me know if there is anything else you think would improve the game experience. For example, I may try to add "shiny" effects to items as they are not always easy to find. I also know there are some scenes with funny dialogue between the girls, when Nicole is alone. Those are simple mistakes in sequencing and will be fixed soon!

Thanks again so much for all the feedback!
Happy Gaming! (:
