"Tender Loving Care" froze on me and it stays that way regardless whether I use Linux or Windows. :(
It happened right here (see attachment).

I get the highlighted boxes but nothing happens regardless of what I click (menu, map, boxes, etc...).
Loading the save just sends me directly to the frozen scene.

:(

My game froze while reading those files too. Same thing, all buttons were available and looked like they would work (reaction on mouseover and brief reaction on click) but did nothing.

I couldn't do anything except exit.

If that happens again, and you have an earlier save, I would recommend not overwriting it with a new (bugged) one.

Fortunately, because you can click on every video's progress bar and move it wherever you want, it's usually not difficult to get back to where you were. You could probably go through the entire game in 20 minutes if you skipped everything.

Though of course it's tempting to re-watch all the videos just because you're never certain if you're watching the regular version, Wuss Michael version or Douche Michael version. Not to mention varying levels of nudity.

Yes, I highly recommend to anyone encountering a freeze to NOT save the game and go to the previous save. That's what I did and it did give me a difference version of the story regardless of me giving the same answers (although not all of the questions were the same).
This time, Catherine kept on her bra in the window scene for example, it seems to be random.

Hadn't had any freezing errors just finished it a few minutes ago actually.

I've had this same issue happen three times now.
Each time it happened in a diffrent chapert and a diffrent room (bathroom, master bedroom, and kitchen so far).

I wish there were an easier way to make backup saves because the narrative is interesting but restarting this frequently is breaking the flow of the story.

I just encountered this bug as well - and overwrote my safe as it seems (thinking that it was only the UI that did not respond) :(

I think the save data is in C:\User\<username>\AppData\Local\TLC\Local Storage

Ediit: It seems like I got my progress back. I toyed around a little bit with the save game file (file__0.localstorage), which is simply a SQLite3 database. I modified the "sceneIndex" value (from 99 to 97), applied the changes and wrote the file back. Then I loaded the game and the save and desperately clicked on the bottom row of UI elements and suddenly, after flipping through the glichy pages, I was free again.

I know this does not explain the problem, but it might help someone in a similar situation.

Same problem here, I started the game, looked through master bedroom, bathroom and then Kathryns room. When checking the table the game stopped responding to clicks. I restarted from the beginning, now it happened directly in the master bedroom.

The game is unplayable for me.

Edit: I had a look at the game's console logs but even there nothing unusual showed up. If someone wants to investigate this further, one can access the ingame devtools by setting "toolbar" to true in package.json in the game's installation folder and then click the three-bars-icon in the toolbar when the game is running.

Thank you, that was the direction i needed.

First i am able to reproduce the issue. It happens sometimes if i am skipping through texts having multipable pages. When i click to fast and to often the game gets stuck.

Solution that works for me: I did not mess with the sceneIndex, instead i just emptied videoQueue Array.

For Instance from:
"videoQueue":[36109,36110,36110,36110,36110,36110,36110,36110,36110,36110,36110,36110,36108,36415,34825]
to:
"videoQueue":[]
