J'adore vraiment votre jeux ! Je suis une grande fan ! Mais j'aimerait bien savoir combien le jeu coûtera quand il sortira ! Merci d'avance de votre réponse !
I'd like to start off by saying I would protect Fawn to the ends of the Earth :))) This demo was so amazing - the voice acting was so fun, especially Leos'. I couldn't help laughing out loud at his snarky lines at 2 in the morning. The backgrounds are so beautiful; they really show how diverse the world is outside of Aurelia Cavella, and I'm as thrilled as Raen is to explore it...and I'm thrilled to explore the beautiful people, too ;)
You gave me a fantastic roller coaster of emotions, and I can't wait for when you release the full game!!!
J'adore vraiment ce que vous faites, vos démo sont incroyable, elle sont longue ce qui permet de beaucoup s'attacher au jeux et l'histoire et les personnages son wahou! Rien a dire beau boulot.
Par contre pour la démo en français j'ai eu un petit problème au moment ou ont entre dans le manoir de Nox et qu'ont décide de l'aider, les textes et les voix sont décalés et après le reste du jeux est en anglais. C'est dommage surtout que je suis très nul en anglais. Peut être se sera corrigé ?
ahh obnoxious redheads they are my weakness, I like that these characters have layers to them it makes you interested in what's at the center what makes them tick I can't wait to get the full game when it comes out this is definitely on my watch list.
I enjoyed the demo very much. I was in a really bad mood when I started playing and this helped a lot. I laughed so hard. My neighbor must think I went insane lol Looking forward to the full release!
I really loved the extended demo. The first one looked already very professional and promising, but it was too short to get a full impression of the characters and the world. Now we learn a lot more about everyone and everything. I was particularly impressed by how complex the characters are. Even the side characters have their very own personality and motives. I'm so fascinated that I want to share some thoughts about it.
---The following part contains SPOILERS(!!!) and speculations---
From all the characters I've seen so far, Fawn turned out to be my favorite. I'm surprised how complex and deep he is. If you first see him, he seems rather shy and unsure and he has obvious difficulties with speaking. But if you get to know him better you start to recognize how brave and good with words he actually is and how far he would go to save the one he loves. It's no wonder he and Raen get along so well from the start. They're like soul twins. The connection between them is very deep and there's a natural bond they share with each other. I found it interesting how Fawn even felt wrath towards an enemy who threatened Raen in the forest at some point. This was another unexpected but very interesting side of him. He doesn't seem to enjoy violence naturally like Leos does, but he's so protective towards Raen, that he doesn't hesitate a second to stand by his side. And if someone threatens him, he instinctively feels wrath and rage. His love is so pure and strong. I even guess it was love at first sight. And I'm sure he knows very well that he loves Raen. He just doesn't want to say it out loud, because he's insecure and Raen doesn't seem to understand what love is. Fawn and Raen compliment each other very well. Raen shows Fawn what kind of strong person he really is and how confident he can be about himself, and Fawn shows Raen how deep love and friendhip can go and what hidden meanings the world has to offer - that there's more on this planet than what the eyes see.
Leos is my second favorite. He can be a bit snarky and annoying somtimes, but beneath his unapproachable facade it's obvious how insecure he really is and how much he needs someone to love. It's kinda fascinating if you think about it further. No matter how different they are (or maybe because they ARE so different), he and Raen depend on each other very much. Leos is a capable mercenary and good at protecting Raen. He also teaches him to be more careful towards others and to not believe everything they say. Raen, on the other hand, is very caring and always nice in front of other people. That's why he's usually easily loved by them. Compared to him, Leos doesn't let anyone get near him. He's like the typical lone wolf - always catious and suspecting the worst in others. Only Raen seems to get through to him, because he's so stubborn and able to see something nice even in the most unfriendly people. He teaches Leos what it feels like to be loved, no matter what you've done and what you will do. It's just a guess of course, but I think Leos is so snarky and spiteful towards others, because he's actually spiteful of himself and he hates the things he's done. So he probably thinks he's unworthy to be loved.
The only one I didn't become comfortable with was Cyne, but it's probably because we only met him at the end of the demo and I still have to get to know him better. We only saw the flirty/casual side of him so far. I'm sure there's something deeper behind his facade. Maybe he's afraid of love? I guess it's diffcult for someone of his social standing to love someone without serious conesquences. Maybe something tragic happened in his past, because of feelings he allowed himself to have. No matter what it is, I suppose he actually longs for someone who he can have a deeper connection with. Maybe that's the true reason why he joined Raen in the first place - even if he might not recognize it yet.
I'm also very interested in Illran and Veras. If I understand it correctly, Veras is the bird we've seen together with Illran, or rather he can turn into a bird. He has a mystical aura and I'm interested to find out the secrets he may hold. Illran seems rather protective of him. I had the feeling he feels more about him than just friendhsip, even if he didn't really mention it when Raen asked him about love. They seem to have a really special relationship that I'd like to uncover.
Lilas, Nikos, and the children are very likeable. Nox seemed kinda mysterious at first glance - desperate, but not really unfriendly. The atmosphere at the end of the game was so spooky, it sent chills down my spine (in a positive way, since I like horror elements in games). My guess at this point is that Nox is actually the monster who kills other people, but he doesn't do it wilfully. There's probably something more going on than meets the eye.
Apropos, I wonder how the Speaker turns out to be. So far we just know that he's not the kind of person he seems to be at the beginning. His motives are kinda dark, but I guess he has a good reason for the lies he created and for all the (gruesome) things he probably did. I'm really looking forward to the extra game with him. Is he responsible for the discarded bodies who lie in the forest and whose souls don't find peace? Although we don't know much about the story yet, elements of it remind me of the movies 'The Island' and 'The Village'. I'm very eager to find out the truth behind all of this. The story seems really interesting so far and I can't wait to unravel the mystery. Also, I'm really interested to find out why the love interests have the feeling to know Raen for so long even if they just have met. Maybe there's a hidden meaning behind it.
BTW, I love the diary you created. It adds more depth to the lore and makes it easier to remember things. That was a really good idea. What else can I say? I love the artistic aspect of the game. The backgrounds, the sprites, the CG's, the music, the voices, the singers, the writing. Everything's just brilliant and adds lots of beauty and atmosphere to the world. "Fates Journey" is a very sweet song and brings this special Middle Age/tavern feeling with it. "The Forgotten" sounds very mysterious. I love the clear and soft voice in it. I whish more VNs had singing voices. It adds so much atmosphere to the game.
There's only one part in the game that maybe should be done differently. I'm talking about about the tavern scene where Fawn sings. The melody of the voice doesn't really go hand in hand with the melody of the background music (probably because you can determine the pace of the scene by yourself). Maybe it would be better to have a fix pace during the song, so the voice doesn't seem out of rhythm? That's the only thing I've noticed, though.
Finally, I have some questions, if you don't mind:
1) How many words will the final game have? 2) How many words will the extra game with the Speaker have? 3) If I understand it correctly, Aurelia Cavella is hidden by the outside world and can't be entered. How was Leos supposed to come back after killing Raen, then? Or is it different for him, because he's Aurelian himself? 4) I don't know how to activate the song "Spring Bloom" in the music box. What do I wrong? I have watched all scenes and yet, I can't find the song. Or have I overlooked something?
That's everything I wanted to say. Sorry for writing so much, but I really wanted to share my thoughts about this gem. Many thanks for creating this wonderful game and for giving us such a long and well done Demo.
Thank you for your fantastic review - I enjoyed reading it! I'm loving all of your speculation and I'm looking forward to the full game coming out so you can see what's right and what's wrong.
To answer your questions:
1) The final game will be over 300,000 words with all routes.
2) The prequel with the Speaker doesn't have a specific length yet, but may be between 20-40,000 words. It will also be free.
3) The answer to this is a spoiler, I'm sorry! You'll find out in Leos' route :)
4) Spring Bloom isn't in the extended demo, so currently isn't accessible! You'll be able to access it in the beta (if you have access from Kickstarter or Patreon), or in the full game.
Again, thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to me that a story I care for greatly can reach other people how it reaches me.
Thank you for answering! I'm really surprised. I thought the final game will have about 150k words, but 300k is even better! I love long and complex stories. Also, happy to hear that the Speaker side story will be free. I'm really looking forward to know more about him and the rest of the characters.
The game is simply wonderful. The characters, the story, the art, the music and the gameplay, I love every aspect of the game. I bought the extended version and I don't regret it, because every minute was fantastic and I hope you guys keep making such great games. I'm very excited to see what the whole game will look like and very grateful for creating it and bringing it to life. I can honestly only say that I fell totally and deeply in love with this game. Keep it up. <3
And I'm sorry if some parts are not understood, I'm using a translator to communicate more fluently with you, a greeting from Chile.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means so much to me to hear that our game reaches you so deeply. I hope you'll continue to enjoy the game in the future!
This was great! I won the artbook at FujoCon, and played the demo to see what the characters were about. I'm loving it so far. Please keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing more updates.
After playing the demo, I liked the game so much that I had to get patreon and access the extended demo and beta access.
And I must say that the game is beautiful and glorious, the art is charming, the story gives an air of divinity and mystical mystery, the music is beautiful and mystical, and the characters are exquisite and I love each of their interactions, from when they distrust each other when they fall in love, it feels natural and realistic (My favorite is Fawn).
I'm already doing my theories about the mysteries of the game, the Speaker, and everything else; and I have to say that I have fallen in love with your game.
I really want to see the full game, and see the continuation of the routes.
PS: Really I was surprised by how realistic each route has felt, each character had their own time and interactions, and it felt natural when the romance happened, nothing felt forced, for that you have my respect.
¡Estoy emocionada para el lanzamiento del juego! Quedé completamente enamorada del demo. Del dibujo, de la banda sonora, de la historia. De todo para ser sincera. Waa espero con muchas ansias la llegada del 2021
Tres preguntas ¿En que páginas estará disponible el juego? ¿Tendrá los mismos idiomas que aparecen en el demo? Y ¿Seguirá disponible para android?
The game will be available on both itch and Steam. Any payments you make will be converted from your local currency. We don't have any plans to release anywhere that charges anything apart from USD or yen. (However, Steam may be available in your own currency!)
I love everything about the Demo, the soundtrack, the characters, the plot, the voice acting, the art, everything!! I can't wait till the full release comes out!
I have really loved the demo, played it twice the quality of the scenery, the voice, the athmosphere the writing and the personality of the characters are insane, you did a really great work, but I was wondering, because the divine speaker is my favorite so far, will he be a love interest? :)
Hey there! I'm totally fell in love with your game.
I have got a few questions, and I would be thankful if you could awnser a few of these.
How much is it going to cost when it's finished?
When is it going to approximately launch?
Is it going to launch on steam too?
Anyway, I'll definitely buy it if it's below $100. Please don't rush the development, take your time. The Demo is the best VN I have ever played, and I'm extremely excited for the finished version. I absolutely love the Characters, the artwork and the storyline. Also I'm pretty happy that this game won't be censored, Visual Novels get ruined this way. (At least I think so!)
I'll definitely tell my friends about that game. (I think they'd love it!) Also I'm going to rate it 5 stars. You deserve it!
I'm soooo excited for Cyne! (And of course his relationship with Raen) I think he'll be my favourite character, I love this character-type! ^^
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy that you enjoyed the demo, and overjoyed that you've called it the best visual novel you've ever played.
As for your questions, we plan for it to be around $29.99, and it will be out early 2021. Yes, it will launch on both Steam and Itch!
If you want to keep up to date with announcements, sneak peaks, etc. you can follow us here on Twitter. We've put up a lot of previews lately, too!
(By the way: I'm sorry about my deleted post! I wanted to edit the post, but then I unintentionally deleted the post. I'll just write it again.)
Thanks a million for the reply! I am super satisfied with the estimated price. I also wanted to thank you. About a few hours ago, I played the demo again. It inspired me to create something myself! Right now I'm working on a script for my own visual novel.
It has never happened before that a visual novel/book/manga inspired me that much. I'm extremely happy. I'll surely continue following the development of the game.
Sorry for taking your time and for my unintenional mistake.
Thanks again, I'm sure that your visual novel will get more thankful Fans like me in the future.
(Edit: I checked your twitter account, and it's awsome. I'll consider creating an account!)
Thanks for your comment! I'm sad to hear that you can't get it to install. Have you made sure to allow installs from unknown sources on your phone? If not, here's how you do it:
1) Before you can install apps to your phone from the web, you need to make sure that they're allowed on your device. Go to Menu > Settings > Security > and check Unknown Sources to allow your phone to install apps from other sources.
2) Download the APK to your phone. Navigate to the file and click on it to begin installation.
3) Once it's installed, you'll be able to play the game!
Played through the android demo (Thanks for adding that to your playable options). Seems nice and liking forward for its future. The swipe controls were a nice option. Two questions though.
Will the itchio build for android still have an R-18 option? (Since I know it can't be for Google play. ) and
What was cut for the android demo it takes half the Mb it does for the pc files and usually the games that have both will have the android build about the same if not slightly more.
Yes, the itchio build for android will be fully 18+, the exact same as the PC build. The Google Play build will be all ages.
Nothing was cut! With the android ver. we scaled down artworks and BGs, since they didn't need to be as large as the PC version. Don't worry about anything being missing from the android build, we just further optimized the build.
hi there! sorry if this has been asked before, I didn't see this as I scrolled through--
will you include the option to turn off voices in the settings menu for the full game? the voices are lovely, i just find them distracting, and i still want to experience the music/sfx.
Hello, I downloaded the demo on my android and I don't know where to find the actual app. I can only locate the file to download the game but not the app after the fact, does that make sense?Can anyone help me?? Please XD
Unfortunately the way to install an APK from outside of Google Play is a little annoying, but I'll put the steps below:
1) Before you can install apps to your phone from the web, you need to make sure that they're allowed on your device. Go to Menu > Settings > Security > and check Unknown Sources to allow your phone to install apps from other sources.
2) Download the APK to your phone. Navigate to the file and click on it to begin installation.
3) Once it's installed, you'll be able to play the game!
We're currently in the process of getting the demo onto Google Play, so if you can't work it out then you'll be able to download it from there easily soon.
I love love LOVE the new voice for Fawn! The more realistic, less cartoony sound is a huge improvement. He fits in a lot better with the rest of the cast now. Fantastic job guys!
i just played the demo and IT'S SO AMAZING!! I really love the art style of the story and the voices are so great.. Leos really killed me like GODDAMN HIS VOICE WITH THAT VISUAL ( and i'm glad he's a top :3 )
And i read this game is unsencored and 18+ content ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But i kinda have a little concern with Fawn.. he's so cute and his voice is so sweet, so i can't see him as a top :( i read your comment and you said Fawn x Raen can be switch, but i think Cyne can go with switch.. BUT that's just my opinion so please don't bully me :(
anyhow i wish for the best for y'all and can't wait for more updates <3
Thank you so much for playing the demo! Yes, you read right. Cyne is purely a bottom (decided by him!) and Fawn is a switch. We'll also be making an update to his voice in the future. Thanks again!
I Played the Demo! It's amazing. You guys have really outdone yourselves. But, I have a question. Will the game be free once fully released? I just wanted to know ahead of time! I might have missed it while I was reading everything, though. Anyway, I hope you have a nice day~
Thank you so much for playing the demo! We're so happy you enjoyed it. We ran our Kickstarter around 6 months ago now, which funded the game. It will be available to purchase in the future! Thanks!
Just finished playing the demo and I freaking LOVE IT AH. The story is interesting and the game got me hooked already. I really wanna keep playing it and find out more. I am definitely buying it once its released. And the voice acting in this is awesome it certainly suits the characters looks. I was smiling when Fawn was speaking that boy is so cute and Leo s is certainly cheeky I cant wait to meet Cyne as well and I certainly cant wait to play more.
i saw the demo and im actually really, REALLY interested in this game, mainly because it has an amazing story and art!! one question though, i noticed the nsfw, fully uncensored 18+ content ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and would like to ask-
would we be able to know beforehand who is top and who is bottom? or do we have to tell just by looking? because frankly, i'm having trouble figuring out which one Leos is XD well, unless he goes both ways lol. other than that i really enjoyed the demo and am looking forward to when the game launches!!!
Thank you so much for your review! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the demo. Yes, I'm happy to answer that for you ;)
Leos/Raen - Top/Bottom
Fawn/Raen - Switch/Switch
Cyne/Raen - Bottom/Top
So, we have a bit of everything! Raen and Fawn are happy to go either way, Cyne purely bottoms, and Leos only tops in the game, but he may be convinced to try something new ;)
I just rated the demo but I don't know whether you can see it. But to sum it up: I'm hooked. The story, the characters, the layouts and aesthetics, the soundtracks , the art style and CGs, the mistery. the fact that is is fully voiced, I'm loving it ;) and also the boys are all pretty smexy I don't even know where to start. Since I love the teasing types I think I'll be pretty happy about those love interests :D :3
Thank you! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the demo <3 We can't wait to bring out the extended version soon! (The first build is now available on Patreon, but once everything is polished and done we'll be posting it here!)

J'adore vraiment votre jeux ! Je suis une grande fan ! Mais j'aimerait bien savoir combien le jeu coûtera quand il sortira ! Merci d'avance de votre réponse !
Hello! Thank you for your message! The finished game will be about $29.99, with a launch discount.
I'd like to start off by saying I would protect Fawn to the ends of the Earth :)))
This demo was so amazing - the voice acting was so fun, especially Leos'. I couldn't help laughing out loud at his snarky lines at 2 in the morning.

You gave me a fantastic roller coaster of emotions, and I can't wait for when you release the full game!!!
I think i'm in love with Leos' voice actor. It is so good! It's a really well made game. I'm looking forward to full release.
When will the full game come out?
J'adore vraiment ce que vous faites, vos démo sont incroyable, elle sont longue ce qui permet de beaucoup s'attacher au jeux et l'histoire et les personnages son wahou! Rien a dire beau boulot.
Par contre pour la démo en français j'ai eu un petit problème au moment ou ont entre dans le manoir de Nox et qu'ont décide de l'aider, les textes et les voix sont décalés et après le reste du jeux est en anglais. C'est dommage surtout que je suis très nul en anglais. Peut être se sera corrigé ?
oh good im sooooooooooooooo looking forward to this
ahh obnoxious redheads they are my weakness, I like that these characters have layers to them it makes you interested in what's at the center what makes them tick I can't wait to get the full game when it comes out this is definitely on my watch list.
So far the demo hinted a full game with good graphics and soundtrack, intriguing plot, character depth and juicy scenes.
Is this perfection?
Aaaah! I just finished playing the extended demo and I felt CHILLS while playing it! I SERIOUSLY can't wait for the full game to come out!!
I enjoyed the demo very much.
I was in a really bad mood when I started playing and this helped a lot. I laughed so hard. My neighbor must think I went insane lol
Looking forward to the full release!
is this out yet?
I really loved the extended demo. The first one looked already very professional and promising, but it was too short to get a full impression of the characters and the world.

From all the characters I've seen so far, Fawn turned out to be my favorite. I'm surprised how complex and deep he is.

Hey there!

The game is simply wonderful. The characters, the story, the art, the music and the gameplay, I love every aspect of the game. I bought the extended version and I don't regret it, because every minute was fantastic and I hope you guys keep making such great games. I'm very excited to see what the whole game will look like and very grateful for creating it and bringing it to life. I can honestly only say that I fell totally and deeply in love with this game. Keep it up. <3
And I'm sorry if some parts are not understood, I'm using a translator to communicate more fluently with you, a greeting from Chile.
Hi Mary,
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means so much to me to hear that our game reaches you so deeply. I hope you'll continue to enjoy the game in the future!
just started the game and
is it just me or is the divine speaker so damn hot
ngl I simp for him a little bit
Then I guess we're gay for him then :V
Aren't we all...
This was great! I won the artbook at FujoCon, and played the demo to see what the characters were about. I'm loving it so far. Please keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing more updates.
This is something interesting
After playing the demo, I liked the game so much that I had to get patreon and access the extended demo and beta access.
And I must say that the game is beautiful and glorious, the art is charming, the story gives an air of divinity and mystical mystery, the music is beautiful and mystical, and the characters are exquisite and I love each of their interactions, from when they distrust each other when they fall in love, it feels natural and realistic (My favorite is Fawn).
I'm already doing my theories about the mysteries of the game, the Speaker, and everything else; and I have to say that I have fallen in love with your game.
I really want to see the full game, and see the continuation of the routes.
PS: Really I was surprised by how realistic each route has felt, each character had their own time and interactions, and it felt natural when the romance happened, nothing felt forced, for that you have my respect.
The demo is really good I really love evrything about it I would love to buy it when the full game release I just made a Acc to comment on this lol
¡Estoy emocionada para el lanzamiento del juego! Quedé completamente enamorada del demo. Del dibujo, de la banda sonora, de la historia. De todo para ser sincera. Waa espero con muchas ansias la llegada del 2021
Tres preguntas ¿En que páginas estará disponible el juego? ¿Tendrá los mismos idiomas que aparecen en el demo? Y ¿Seguirá disponible para android?
Will this game be available in other regions as well?? We don't have a dollar system where I'm from and paying is a bit tedious... so..?
Hi!
The game will be available on both itch and Steam. Any payments you make will be converted from your local currency. We don't have any plans to release anywhere that charges anything apart from USD or yen. (However, Steam may be available in your own currency!)
Thanks!
when you'll release the full game?
Hi Ozawashuri!
We expect the game to be released Q1 2021. If you want to follow our progress, feel free to check out our twitter!
Thanks!
Alright, looking forward to it!
I love everything about the Demo, the soundtrack, the characters, the plot, the voice acting, the art, everything!! I can't wait till the full release comes out!
I have really loved the demo, played it twice the quality of the scenery, the voice, the athmosphere the writing and the personality of the characters are insane, you did a really great work, but I was wondering, because the divine speaker is my favorite so far, will he be a love interest? :)
Hi Kyokatemini,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy you enjoyed the demo.
Unfortunately, the Divine Speaker won't be a love interest for Raen, but I think you'll enjoy how his story develops later ;)
Hey there!
I'm totally fell in love with your game.
I have got a few questions, and I would be thankful if you could awnser a few of these.
How much is it going to cost when it's finished?
When is it going to approximately launch?
Is it going to launch on steam too?
Anyway, I'll definitely buy it if it's below $100. Please don't rush the development, take your time. The Demo is the best VN I have ever played, and I'm extremely excited for the finished version. I absolutely love the Characters, the artwork and the storyline. Also I'm pretty happy that this game won't be censored, Visual Novels get ruined this way. (At least I think so!)
I'll definitely tell my friends about that game. (I think they'd love it!) Also I'm going to rate it 5 stars. You deserve it!
I'm soooo excited for Cyne! (And of course his relationship with Raen) I think he'll be my favourite character, I love this character-type! ^^
Anyway, I'm sorry for taking your time.
Keep up the good work! ^^
Hi F0Xx,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy that you enjoyed the demo, and overjoyed that you've called it the best visual novel you've ever played.
As for your questions, we plan for it to be around $29.99, and it will be out early 2021. Yes, it will launch on both Steam and Itch!
If you want to keep up to date with announcements, sneak peaks, etc. you can follow us here on Twitter. We've put up a lot of previews lately, too!
Thanks so much!
Hey there!
(By the way: I'm sorry about my deleted post! I wanted to edit the post, but then I unintentionally deleted the post. I'll just write it again.)
Thanks a million for the reply! I am super satisfied with the estimated price. I also wanted to thank you. About a few hours ago, I played the demo again. It inspired me to create something myself! Right now I'm working on a script for my own visual novel.
It has never happened before that a visual novel/book/manga inspired me that much. I'm extremely happy. I'll surely continue following the development of the game.
Sorry for taking your time and for my unintenional mistake.
Thanks again, I'm sure that your visual novel will get more thankful Fans like me in the future.
(Edit: I checked your twitter account, and it's awsome. I'll consider creating an account!)
Greetings! ^^
You played it again! Wow, thank you so much.
We can't wait to see the game that you come up with - I'm sure it'll be amazing. If you want, we also have a Discord, and we'd love to hear about it!
Thanks!
I can't download the demo for Android ;-; when I click install it says application was not installed 😞
Hi Tayuyya,
Thanks for your comment! I'm sad to hear that you can't get it to install. Have you made sure to allow installs from unknown sources on your phone? If not, here's how you do it:
1) Before you can install apps to your phone from the web, you need to make sure that they're allowed on your device. Go to Menu > Settings > Security > and check Unknown Sources to allow your phone to install apps from other sources.
2) Download the APK to your phone. Navigate to the file and click on it to begin installation.
3) Once it's installed, you'll be able to play the game!
Hopefully that helps!
Played through the android demo (Thanks for adding that to your playable options). Seems nice and liking forward for its future. The swipe controls were a nice option. Two questions though.
Will the itchio build for android still have an R-18 option? (Since I know it can't be for Google play. ) and
What was cut for the android demo it takes half the Mb it does for the pc files and usually the games that have both will have the android build about the same if not slightly more.
Thanks for your continued work on this project.
Hi!
Yes, the itchio build for android will be fully 18+, the exact same as the PC build. The Google Play build will be all ages.
Nothing was cut! With the android ver. we scaled down artworks and BGs, since they didn't need to be as large as the PC version. Don't worry about anything being missing from the android build, we just further optimized the build.
Thanks!
hi there! sorry if this has been asked before, I didn't see this as I scrolled through--
will you include the option to turn off voices in the settings menu for the full game? the voices are lovely, i just find them distracting, and i still want to experience the music/sfx.
Hi!
Yes, the extended demo (and full game) will have a slider for voice volume/control.
Thanks!
Hello, I downloaded the demo on my android and I don't know where to find the actual app. I can only locate the file to download the game but not the app after the fact, does that make sense?Can anyone help me?? Please XD
Hi KazuMae!
Unfortunately the way to install an APK from outside of Google Play is a little annoying, but I'll put the steps below:
1) Before you can install apps to your phone from the web, you need to make sure that they're allowed on your device. Go to Menu > Settings > Security > and check Unknown Sources to allow your phone to install apps from other sources.
2) Download the APK to your phone. Navigate to the file and click on it to begin installation.
3) Once it's installed, you'll be able to play the game!
We're currently in the process of getting the demo onto Google Play, so if you can't work it out then you'll be able to download it from there easily soon.
Thank you for your support of TDS!
Oh, I've already downloaded it but I can't find the application after I close it to open it again.
Hi again KazuMae,
It should be alongside any of your other apps after install. I'll have a look into it for you, if you still can't find it.
Thanks!
Thank you so much~! After some digging I've finally it, it was hiding from me XD
I just discovered this game and played the demo, and it's awesome! I can't wait for the release, I'm surely going to buy it!
PS: Do you plan to ever do an italian translation? Just wondering, since it's my first language hahah.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
Italian! It wasn't something we thought of, but I'll note it down and see if we get any other requests :)
Thank you so much for your kind words!
We're so glad you enjoyed the demo - if you have Twitter, you should follow us there for even more art and updates!
Thank you!
is the game finished? I have a hard time knowing if its just the demo or not? Reallly wanna get the full version!
Hi! This is just the demo - we have an extended demo coming out soon! You can follow us on Twitter to see more updates, if you want :)
I love love LOVE the new voice for Fawn! The more realistic, less cartoony sound is a huge improvement. He fits in a lot better with the rest of the cast now. Fantastic job guys!
i just played the demo and IT'S SO AMAZING!! I really love the art style of the story and the voices are so great.. Leos really killed me like GODDAMN HIS VOICE WITH THAT VISUAL ( and i'm glad he's a top :3 )
And i read this game is unsencored and 18+ content ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But i kinda have a little concern with Fawn.. he's so cute and his voice is so sweet, so i can't see him as a top :( i read your comment and you said Fawn x Raen can be switch, but i think Cyne can go with switch.. BUT that's just my opinion so please don't bully me :(
anyhow i wish for the best for y'all and can't wait for more updates <3
Thank you so much for playing the demo! Yes, you read right. Cyne is purely a bottom (decided by him!) and Fawn is a switch. We'll also be making an update to his voice in the future. Thanks again!
I Played the Demo! It's amazing. You guys have really outdone yourselves. But, I have a question. Will the game be free once fully released? I just wanted to know ahead of time! I might have missed it while I was reading everything, though. Anyway, I hope you have a nice day~
Thank you so much for playing the demo! We're so happy you enjoyed it. We ran our Kickstarter around 6 months ago now, which funded the game. It will be available to purchase in the future! Thanks!
Just finished playing the demo and I freaking LOVE IT AH. The story is interesting and the game got me hooked already. I really wanna keep playing it and find out more. I am definitely buying it once its released. And the voice acting in this is awesome it certainly suits the characters looks. I was smiling when Fawn was speaking that boy is so cute and Leo s is certainly cheeky I cant wait to meet Cyne as well and I certainly cant wait to play more.
:D
Thank you very much for playing (and enjoying) the demo! It makes us so happy to hear!
I hope you'll also enjoy the extended demo, which will be coming out in the new few months.
Thank you!!!
OOOO I can't wait :D
i saw the demo and im actually really, REALLY interested in this game, mainly because it has an amazing story and art!! one question though, i noticed the nsfw, fully uncensored 18+ content ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and would like to ask-
would we be able to know beforehand who is top and who is bottom? or do we have to tell just by looking? because frankly, i'm having trouble figuring out which one Leos is XD well, unless he goes both ways lol. other than that i really enjoyed the demo and am looking forward to when the game launches!!!
Hello Kliover!
Thank you so much for your review! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the demo. Yes, I'm happy to answer that for you ;)
Leos/Raen - Top/Bottom
Fawn/Raen - Switch/Switch
Cyne/Raen - Bottom/Top
So, we have a bit of everything! Raen and Fawn are happy to go either way, Cyne purely bottoms, and Leos only tops in the game, but he may be convinced to try something new ;)
Thanks again!
I just rated the demo but I don't know whether you can see it. But to sum it up: I'm hooked. The story, the characters, the layouts and aesthetics, the soundtracks , the art style and CGs, the mistery. the fact that is is fully voiced, I'm loving it ;) and also the boys are all pretty smexy I don't even know where to start. Since I love the teasing types I think I'll be pretty happy about those love interests :D :3
Thank you! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the demo <3 We can't wait to bring out the extended version soon! (The first build is now available on Patreon, but once everything is polished and done we'll be posting it here!)
I look forward to getting to know Cyne. 😉
Cyne is REALLY looking forward to getting to know Raen ;)
I just happened to discover this while aimlessly browsing and ugh Fawn is so cute I just wanna bully him. can't wait for a full release!
Thank you! I hope you look forward to bullying him, then! :D
