Some bugs
1) So normally in the games, the text fades into the screen--we can change the speed, but the letters/kanji fade in. When I open the program and either start a new game or pick a chapter from the chapter-select screen, that works properly. However, if I try to load a saved game, the letters don't really fade in so much as "blink" in. I'm not really sure how to describe it--kind of like instead of the letters fading in, it looks more like they're being typed. And occasionally, the rest of the unseen sentence flashes on the screen before its cue.

The next two bugs are/were in Tsumihoroboshi as well; the really aggravating one got fixed, but the other didn't.

2) There's an SE that's meant to sound suspenseful or ominous--it's an eerie sound that slides down the scales before lingering on the last note for a while. In all the games, it's meant to play only once when it's cued, but for a while in the Tsumihoroboshi game before a patch--and now in this one--it just keeps repeating. It's very distracting and isn't supposed to repeat. (In the SE folder of the packaging contents, the sound is called s_z02_kyousou.ogg.)

3) This last one is STILL in Tsumihoroboshi as well when I played it--ironically, for Matsuribayashi, the only time I saw it happen was in a related moment--the fragment called "A Red Capsule". Sometimes in the games, there's a series of three screens of drops of blood appearing--it starts off with two, then a few more, and then a few more. And it tends to be accompanied by sound effects. Well, the SEs played fine, but the first screen only showed up and seemed to stick on it.
