This got a little longer than expected, so I’ll put it under a read more. There might be a few minor spoilers for Fatal Operation within.

Now that I think about it (this might sound weird), in Fatal operation, is there any reason why Seiko didn't confess to Naomi, even after 6 years?

I meant Seiko in depths of despair.

The best way to explain this is that there was never really a good time. The years following Satoshi's death were rough on Naomi, and so Seiko wouldn't have felt like it was the proper time when Naomi was still actively grieving. And then Naomi went on to college and nursing school while Seiko got a job, so she wouldn't have wanted to risk the time they did have together with a potentially drastic shift in the relationship. Between Naomi's trauma and their accelerating schedules, Seiko would have needed a particularly dramatic shakeup to decide to confess to Naomi. Otherwise, she'd want to wait and hope that a better opportunity presented itself in time, an opportunity that wouldn't risk the friendship.

I was wondering two things about fatal operation: 1 How do I unlock all extras? (I have trouble unlocking the cursed gallery for example)

Most of the extra menus state what is done to unlock them, I think. The CG Gallery ("Gallery of Spirits") is not implemented, since only a few of the planned CG images are in the current version of the game. Therefore, it's not available from the menu, even if you've seen any of the existing CGs. I'm afraid I don't have an ETA for that feature, since there isn't anyone working on the game's art at the present.

For extra chapters, they're unlocked by getting the clear ending to each chapter and the "true" ending to Chapter 4 (any survival rank). To unlock all the features of one of the extras, though, you'll need to clear Chapter 4 with survival rank A. (This doesn't have to be on a true ending run.)

It's been a long time since the last public update to Fatal Operation, so I decided it's time to release Demo v5. Like Depths of Despair -Nightmare Edition-, Fatal Operation has been updated to use the RPG Maker MV engine. In addition, many small fixes and art updates have occurred over the past year and are reflected in the current version.

To download the latest version, go to the game page.

Notable Features:

Dialogue names have been revamped and a number of typos have been fixed.

Bonus features and menus modified to use the system from Depths of Despair -Nightmared Edition-. (Book of Shadows mods temporarily removed to be updated for RPG Maker MV.)

New scenario: An alternate universe bonus chapter that is unlocked from clearing the True Ending.

Known Bugs:

Since today is the day Depths of Despair takes place (October 27th, 2014), I decided to revise and release a previously unpublished CPD2 one-shot story that involved Ayumi.

Note: This story takes place between two scenes in the epilogue to ending 4*1 of Fatal Operation, so there are ending spoilers for that ending as well as the Mended Soul ending of Depths of Despair.

This story takes place in early November, 2014. It's told from Sayaka Ooue's perspective.

Trivia: This story was scheduled to post itself at 7:00 PM, Toyko Standard Time, on October 27th, 2014; around the same time that Yui Shishido scheduled the reunion for Ayumi's class in Depths of Despair.
