It was tough due to my inability to speak Thai but I managed to get the Good Ending in 2:45.10 minutes, and due to a lack of other runs I think I can say that I got the World Record in The Picture of Café au lait Skip%

Teenage romance story, extensive and quite well written. There are a few important issues though. First of all it is not in English but in Thai so you will need to use a translation software to follow. Secondly skip function does not work properly - it seems to skip everything and then stop at random, which will make it hard to see a new thing when trying different routes. I hope future games will be in also in English I will gladly have a look.
