SexyShot Patch Files Available (See title screen for your version number)
There are two patch files released that fix problems on specific systems. If you are having any issues with your program check the patch section below: Patch Files

■ GENERAL INFORMATION

In this story you play a traveling photographer that has an eye for special subject matter. You will need a steady and skillful hand to complete your adventure.

There are two basic game styles in SexyShot; camera and interactive. You will need to complete a specific goal at each stage before you are able to continue. If you fail a stage you can retry as many times as necessary.

Completing a stage will unlock it so that you can easily return using the Scene Select option. You may bypass a previously completed stage while in Story Mode by hitting the “End” key on the keyboard.

For Tips and frequently asked questions check below: Tips and FAQ

■ BASIC CONTROLS

Left Mouse Button - Take a picture, interact with your subject, or next dialog text
Middle Mouse Wheel - Scroll up or down to focus a shoot
Double Click Middle Mouse Button - Opens the pop-up menu
Right Mouse Button - Click and hold to activate steady shot or use to zoom in gallery

Esc key - Use to quickly terminate the program
End key - Bypass dialog or skips to the end of a challenge
F1 key - Opens Pop-Up menu
Up/Down arrow keys - Use alternative to focus

■ CAMERA PLAY

This game style may be difficult at first by with a little practice and strategy, you will easily master it.

Composition - Guide the wobbly camera using the mouse to a target location in the photo. The closer you are to the proper composition, the fuller the target meter will become and the more points you will receive for the photo. Each stage will require a set amount of points to complete.

Focus - Use the mouse wheel to focus the camera’s lens (if your mouse does not have a wheel you can use the up and down arrows on your keyboard.) The microprism circle in the center of the screen can help indicate when the camera is fully focused.

Steady Shot - Holding the right mouse button down will activate the Steady Shot feature which will make lining up a photo easier. However, this mode will drain the camera’s battery faster than normalso use it sparingly.

Battery Life - The camera’s battery determines the length of time you have to take pictures during a photo session. Taking a photo with a good ranking will earn bonus power for your battery. Be careful, once the power runs out the session will end.

Left Mouse Button - Click to take a picture or progress to the next shot
Right Mouse Button - Hold down to activate the Steady Shot
Mouse Wheel - Roll up or down to focus (arrow keys can be used as well)

■ INTERACTION PLAY

This mode involves posing or interacting with your model. You will have to figure out what to do depending on the situation. When the mouse curser is over an interaction spot it will light up and make a noise. Click and hold down on the left button while dragging the mouse in the appropriate direction.

Most of the time you will have to move slowly. By default an Alert Bar (normally bad if full) and a Climax Bar (good if full) will appear in the upper right corner to help your progress. These bars can be disabled by turning off the HUD option in the Pop-Up menu for more of a challenge.

At the end of each interaction one or more buttons will appear...

Exit - Clicking on this will finish the interaction and continue the story
Re-Play - Click to view the last animation once more
Back - Click to go back to the previous interaction screen

■ POP-UP MENU

Help

Instructions - Will open online version of the help file on most systems

Website - Opens official website in default browser

Close Menu

When the pop-up menu is opened the game will pause as you make a selection. Clicking on an selection or outside of the menu will close the window. However, when clicking outside of the menu to cancel, you must be inside the game window. In various situations this can be inconvenient (especial when the screen is in window mode) so the "close menu" option can be easer to use at times.

■ DIALOG SCREENS

The SexyShot story is told through dialog screens. Clicking the left mouse button will advance to the text while holding down on the right mouse will automatically scroll through the dialog. Hit the “End” key on the keyboard to bypass a dialog section completely.

Once in the gallery, click on a thumbnail with the right mouse button to view the image. Clicking on the image with the right mouse button will zoom into the photo’s original composition and clicking again will return it to the full view. Using the left mouse button will return you the photo gallery.

■ VIDEO

The video codec used to display the introduction movie is Microsoft Windows Media 9 (WMP v9) which is installed on most Windows systems. This codec is automatically installed with Windows Media Player 9 (or higher) or it can be downloaded from Microsoft’s website if needed.

■ Tips and FAQ

The camera control can be a little difficult at fist. You must manage three things at the same time; focus, composition and taking the photo. With some practice you will become more proficient so don’t give up too quickly!
It is important to use the Steady Shot to take a good photo. Holding down the right mouse button will slow down the camera motion which makes focusing and composition much easier. Just be careful not to over use the option as it drains power from your battery faster.
When taking a new photo the first thing you want to do is to set your focus properly. Quickly move the mouse wheel up or down (or use the up and down arrow keys) in a direction that removes most of the blurriness. Once the overall image looks clear, use the microprism circle in the center of the screen to fine tune your focus. Activate the Steady Shot and focus on a portion of the photo that has a defined edge (like her legs or eyes). This makes lining up the microprism split image easier but it can be a little complicated since it will require some finger dexterity on the mouse.
Once you have used the above method to achieve a perfect focus, deactivate the Steady Shot by releasing the right mouse button and concentrate on the composition. This works much like the focus technique. Move your mouse around while watching the Target bar. It will get bigger the closer you get the optimum composition. When you have found the general area where you think the target is, use the Steady Shot again and hone in on the spot that make the Target bar the biggest. (Tip: It doesn’t necessarily have to be 100% full to be perfect composition.)
The interactive scenes require a bit of trial and error to discover the best solution. Techniques for each scene are described below in the FAQ. The most important overall tip in these scenes is not to worry about the Alert bar too much. It is okay if it gets halfway, just worry about when the bar reaches the red zone.

(Click on the "+" to read the answers which contain possible game spoilers...)

"How do I get past the photo scenes without running out of power?"

The first time you play through the game don't worry about getting all perfect photos. Just try to earn enough points to pass the scene's requirements. You can always use the SceneSelect option to come back and focus on collecting perfect photos for your gallery.

"How do I interact with Momochan in Scene2?"

The goal here is to remove Momochan's panties and spread her legs. Move the mouse over her panties and the curser will turn blue. Click and hold the left mouse button and drag upwards. This will pull Momochan's panties up to her knees. Once the panties stop moving, drag the mouse down to remove them. Keep and eye on the Alert bar, if it gets too full slow down or stop until it lowers. Next click and drag on the hands to spread her legs. When you are done with the scene an exit button will appear.

"I can't get past 80% on the Climax bar, How do I finish Scene 5?"

Note: If you are using an older computer and are having problems successfully increasing Momochan's Climax bar you may need to install a patch to correct this issue on your system. Patch Files

Like in Scene 2, the first two screens are straight forward. On the first screen, spread Momochan's leg then click on her panties. Once the next screen appears, pull her panties to the left. The last screen is much more difficult and requires a different technique: The goal it to fill Momochan's Climax bar while keeping the Alert bar from maximizing.

There are three spots that you can rub on in the last screen. If you rub one spot too much it will become less effective (the Climax bar will rise slower) and more painful (the Alert bar will rise faster). The best technique is to alternate between the three spots, rubbing one until it becomes ineffective and then moving on to the next.

The climax bar will not rise beyond 80% if you play it safe. It seems gentle rubbing is just not enough to get Momochan off! In other words you must rub fast enough that the Alert bar rises beyond 25% but keep it under 100%. This is the tricky part; you must be aggressive but not too aggressive. (Maybe a little too much like a real girl, eh?)

"I can't figure out what to do on Scene8?"

There are three screens to pass in Scene 8 and your goal is to make Momochan cum before you do. The first screen requires that you get hard enough to penetrate her. Rub yourself until you are nice and hard (I'm talking about the computer version of "you" by the way). Once you reach around 20% on the Alert bar, click on Momochan's special spot and you will proceed.

The next screen is straight forward. Click and drag on your cock and push into Momochan. It's a very tight fit so you might slip a few times until it goes all the way in! Just keep at it, there is no special style here.

Once you've penetrated her it's time to make Momochan cum. Click and drag your cock into her like before. Then just move the mouse up and down to pleasure her. At first you won't be able to go all the way in but she will loosen up over time. If you force yourself in too deep for too long she will grimace in pain and her climax bar will lower. (Not a good thing.) There are several techniques you can use here, long strokes or short clicks and releases, its up to you but once again, you will have to manage the Alert bar like in Scene 5. If your Alert bar gets too high just let go of the mouse button and it will lower faster than Momochan's Climax bar.

If the Alert bar reaches 100% you will climax. If you cum first you will have failed the goal and will need to replay the scene. If Momochan cums first an additional "back" button will appear. If you click on the back button you can replay the last screen but this time you can enjoy yourself and cum if you want!

"This is too hard for me, is there a way I can see the CG without having to play?"

The idea behind the design of SexyShot was to reward players for their effort. However, I understand if you are not necessarily an action game player or you just don't have enough time to play through the whole game to collect all of the photos. I want you to enjoy your purchase and to different people this means different things.

For the more casual player I have created a special program that you can use to ether unlock all the scenes, all the photos, or both depending on your preference. If you would like this utility please email me at support@panicmilk.jp and I will send you a link to download it.
