Potential skip features?

Since I know the devs are reading this =3 I'm thoroughly obsessed and in the process of going through as many variations as I can handle.

What I'd most love to see implemented in the game is some kind of skip feature during the songs. I'm currently on The Throne, and all the finicky parts that I'm trying to find are past the middle, at least three minutes in. It would be amazing to be able to skip to the first choice, then skip to the second, etc. (I'm literally writing this post to occupy myself while I wait for yet another round of the first verse to go by.)

Even more beautiful would be a way to rewind to the last option, to be able to see all the little "side with" and "scrutinize" and "scold" options without having to rewind to the beginning of the song and keep track of which options I'd picked until then.

One final cool thing would be a star or a check mark or some other cue that you'd seen that version of your choice before. Then if I stumbled into a new color combination where there were new lyrics for, let's say, "stop Orpheus from attacking", I'd know it without having to make spreadsheets and personally remember what versions I have and haven't seen.

That's my two cents, and I only ask for this kind of thing because I'm LOVING IT and want to see as much as I can!

As someone who already explored all The Throne and The Ritual I would be mad if they implemented that feature LOL.
The nice thing about the inability to skip song parts is that they burn into your brain and you love them even more, in some cases it also helps with remembering if you heard that part already.

But jokes aside, I understand. But they probably need some parts to be unskippable for a couple of reasons: steam refund abusers and reviewers who skip the whole game in a few minutes and complain. The songs are also the main part of this game, so that probably is a reason in itself.

A fast-forward would also be great, just to be able to go at 2x while you're waiting to get to the next part you haven't seen yet. I'd be 100% on board with any of this as something that unlocks after you've cleared the game so you aren't tempted to miss out your first time through.

That would be perfect.

So has a feature like this been implemented? I wanted to do a green route for my second playthrough, but not having an option to skip through the parts I've already seen, that's rough...

Same here - waiting for a "skip" option

You can skip each song LINE, so what's the problem?

Speaking for myself, I want a skip feature not just for songs, but for dialogue and any scene I've already seen. Most visual novels I've played have that feature, which makes it easier to try out different routes.
