Idk why this game needs access to all files on my phone to run but quickly deleted it once it kept asking permission.
hello, to clarify here, i'm going to assume that you're talking about the android port. If you download from this site or from my patreon page, those are safe downloads because I upload them myself. if you find the game on any other site, I can't control if someone has tampered with it. but assuming that you downloaded from here, the android port may ask permission to access pictures on some, but not all devices. It's not accessing your pictures or any of your personal data on your phone, it's asking permission to use pictures in general because the story backgrounds are jpg files (pictures) and because the game needs to access those to actually have graphics, and because you downloaded the game and the game pictures are now technically stored on your phone: it's asking your permission to access the pictures stored in the game data. privacy is a big deal to me so as long as you're using an official version of the game from these sites, you should be safe. if you have further questions about it, i'd be happy to answer those or you can just pop onto our discord page and ask in real time.
the project operates solely on donation. there will never be ads and no data farming or selling of stuff or anything like that. i can't stand that stuff and despise when companies do it to me. the last thing i'd ever do is create something that takes things from people.
