-How to Unlock Ren-
To unlock Ren, talk to Kaoru. After a short while, Kaoru will say something that is in blue text. "...Shoot, I forgot to bring a lunch today. I'll have to go buy something from the bakery later."
Of the two options, the player should say "That's not healthy! I'll make you a lunch later!"

Puzzle Answers
- Math Puzzle (Library): 3
The key to solving this puzzle is time. If it's 10:00 and if you take 4 hours away, the time would be 6:00. If it's 10:00 and if you add 4 hours, then the time would be 2:00. Therefore, if the time is 9:00 and you add 6 hours, then the time would be 3:00.
- Statue Word Puzzle (Beach): touch
Take a look at your computer's keyboard. What letter is above 'G'? What letter is to the left of 'P'? The dots next to each letter show how they are written on the keyboard. Since 'H' didn't have a dot next to it, it remained as 'H'.
Secrets
- Amy, found hiding near the References sign in the library, gives you luck if you give her items she likes.
- The statue on the beach will give you luck every 6 days if you click on it. (day 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30)
- Having 50 luck or more by the end of the game grants a "surprise."
