■ Q: Can I post screenshots or stream videos?

A: Feel free! Please tweet with hashtags like #家出少女といっしょ #ボウサバＧ!

Monetization for video streams is also perfectly fine. There's no need to contact our circle about it, but we'd be absolutely delighted if you did!

However, please refrain from posting 【image compilations or videos that significantly diminish purchase motivation】. This refers to things like "full CG collection," "all sex scenes compilation," "all events compilation," "all dialogue collection"... essentially capturing the game's content and posting it directly as an image/video collection.

【Acts such as illegally uploading the game itself】 are strictly prohibited.

■ Q: Can I progress through the game in a purely platonic way?

A: Yes, it's possible. You can reach the deepest relationship with Hikariko without ever showing nipples or genitals on screen.

■ Q: Does this game have auto-save?

A: Yes, it does. It saves automatically to the first slot on the first page of the save screen during the night segment each day. Please note that auto-save does NOT occur at any other time.

Also, once a new day begins, the previous day's auto-save will be overwritten. Please make manual saves regularly.

■ Q: Where are the game's save files?

A: They are automatically generated at: C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\LocalLow\BousabaG\RunawayGirl\Utage\SaveRunawayGirl

■ Q: Can I transfer my demo version save data?

A: Transfer is not supported. (It's not impossible to try playing with it, but flags might get messed up, so we strongly advise against it.)

■ Q: My firewall blocked it when I started the game! Is this game communicating any data?

A: Please rest assured, the application does not perform any communication.

If you cannot launch due to antivirus software, please try right-clicking the executable and selecting "Run as administrator."

☆☆☆☆☆ SPOILERS BELOW ☆☆☆☆☆

※The sex segments where you control actions are referred to as "Interactive Sex segments".

■ Q: Does this game have an ending?

A: There is no traditional ending, but "becoming engaged to Hikariko" is one of the game's goals.

However, even after that, the game continues endlessly. Please enjoy warm days with the runaway girl forever!

■ Q: Are there any points of no return?

A: No matter what actions you take, you can reach the deepest relationship with Hikariko! This game has no bad endings. Please don't worry.

However, some conversation topics and scenarios disappear as the relationship progresses. (Chat topics and the "Leave it to Hikariko" scenario at the aquarium fall under this.) Also, the event where Hikariko makes a move on the first night will never occur again if not chosen then.

■ Q: What's the benchmark for completion?

A: The game is basically endless, but you can consider everything seen when:

You are engaged to Hikariko.
All CG memories, scene memories, and Interactive Sex memories in the gallery are filled.
■ Q: I feel like the story stopped progressing after my relationship with Hikariko became "Trust"!

A: Raise Hikariko's affection.

After raising affection:

Go to the game shop and see the event.
Go to the cafe and see the event. (If they don't trigger, affection might still be insufficient.)
Select topics marked with a "☆" in chat. (The ☆ mark indicates topics that are story progression flags.)
After completing the above, an event will trigger a few days later during the night segment.

■ Q: How do I do penetrative sex with Hikariko?

A: After meeting the above story progression conditions, an event to become lovers occurs. If you have already had sex by that time, the first missionary position event will occur.

(If you haven't had sex, after the event, performing the sex event multiple times during night segments will eventually make penetration selectable.)

■ Q: I can't select footjob during sex!

A: The first footjob is only selectable when she's wearing her uniform. (i.e., only on weekdays, before bath time.) After that (in Interactive Sex segments), it's selectable anytime.

■ Q: What is the Room Fragrance status? How do I use it?

A: It's an item purchasable at the shop after becoming lovers.

Once purchased and set to "ON" in the status, Action Points will not decrease during hugging/lap pillow. (In exchange, affection gain stops. Also, Action Points still decrease during chat/sex.)

Please enjoy sweet time with Hikariko as much as you like.

■ Q: How do I get engaged to Hikariko?

A: A few days after becoming lovers, an event occurs during a night segment where you make "a certain thing" with Hikariko. After that series of events, going to the shop on a holiday triggers an event.

(The "Skip One Week" function added partway through is useful. However, note that the timing for that series of events is on a weekday, so using "Skip to Holiday" will cause them not to occur.)

After that, a certain product is added to the shop. Purchasing it will trigger an engagement event at the end of a date.

■ Q: How do I do cosplay?

A: Become lovers with Hikariko. After becoming lovers, go to a love hotel with Hikariko. After that, cosplay costumes will be added to the shop and become purchasable.

■ Q: I can't select the cosplay costume I bought in the sex clothing selection...

A: You cannot select them unless you possess the cosplay costume corresponding to each specific act.

■ Q: How do I trigger the love hotel event?

A: Become lovers with Hikariko, and after experiencing penetrative sex, go on a date and stay until evening. The love hotel event will then occur. Afterwards, every time you spend time with Hikariko until evening, a choice to go to the love hotel or not will appear.

■ Q: What's the Stamina Potion?

A: An item that lets you go for a second round during Interactive Sex segments.

■ Q: What's the Super Stamina Potion?

A: Added to the shop after becoming engaged to Hikariko.

Essentially, it's an "Infinite Stamina Potion." Buying this just once lets you go for a second round every time during Interactive Sex segments. Because it's super.

■ Q: How do I use the school swimsuit from the shop?

A: Have the school swimsuit in your possession and have sex in the bath.

■ Q: Aren't there cosplays for footjob and reverse cowgirl?

A: Besides the school swimsuit, you need to obtain knee socks. You can get them through an event at the game center.

■ Q: When is the gallery function unlocked?

A: It unlocks when you return to the title screen while having a save data where you are engaged to Hikariko.

(You need to be in a state where you "have such save data." Don't forget to save!)

■ Q: What's "Leave it to Hikariko"? Any downsides?

A: It's a skip button for Interactive Sex segments, available after "seeing all types of sex acts." Selecting it grants you the affection points for having done the Interactive Sex.

There are no particular downsides to using it!

■ Q: Can I choose the casual outfit I didn't pick on the first holiday?

A: It gets added to the shop after becoming engaged to Hikariko.

After that, you can switch it from the status screen. (It will take effect from the next date onwards.)

■ Q: What are "Skip to weekend" and "Skip One Week"? Any downsides?

A: They are day-skip functions unlocked after an event that occurs once you become lovers. You can select them during the sleeping together segment.

"Skip to weekend" skips to the next Saturday. "Skip One Week" skips one week from that day.

There are no particular downsides to using them. They simply advance the days.

However, you are considered NOT to have done anything particularly sexual with Hikariko during that skipped period.

■ Q: I feel like I'm missing some item...

A: Are you missing the "Stuffed Animal"!? If you talk to Hikariko about stuffed animals at the game center, it gets added to the shop!

■ Q: My scene memories aren't filling up!

A: It's likely one of the two below. Both are after becoming lovers.

Getting attacked by Hikariko Try playing some "sleeping play" during Interactive Sex segments. After that, spend time without having sex with Hikariko at all. (Using the Skip One Week function makes this easy.)

Sex with Hikariko while gaming: Buy an erotic game at the game shop to unlock reverse cowgirl and see its first sex scene. Buy a battle royale game at the game shop and play it with Hikariko on a holiday. Try the "distracted" mode for any act during Interactive Sex segments. After that, choosing "Play games together" on a holiday starts the event.
