I love this so much! the last time I remember playing it was in 2020 and the build ended at the end of day 2, I'm so glad I chose to play it again! Can't wait for more builds!
Sometimes that happens. Ren'py wasn't really made with this whole frequent release updates in mind. I'm coming up with something to help with that situation though, hopefully.
Not at this time no, we might put an OST together once the soundtrack is finalized and the project is finished, but even then I can't imagine we'd charge for it.
I've removed the replies here as the passwords are intended to be Patreon exclusive. While they can be found and decoded with enough know-how, they are not being handed out and we discourage sharing of that information. If there are individuals with the know-how we welcome their inputs on how we might make the passwords more secure.
We leave them in the public builds as to not limit access to them in the event that former patrons that had the passwords no longer subscribe to the patreon, but we'll be happy to change the model if we need to until the passwords are released to the public following our final build release.
Alrighty, Thank you for your response! thankfully it doesnt look like anyone is sharing the passwords on the sites I'm on so it won't spoil it for me haha.
hope to see more of the VN in the future! -Ace Ayasaki
We were going for a dazed expression but it seems we were off the mark for that because many have assumed it was a bug so it's likely that expression will be changed.
Huh I guess the itch app isn't hiding the old versions we'd kept for statistics but set to not hide. Thank you for bringing this to our attention we'll remove the old versions shortly.
Ohhhhh. I was wondering IF that was the reason you had soooo many different 'versions' in that list. I tend to just keep the most recent version I have up for my games.
Do you guys have any future plot hooks that could lead to the death of a person in this game and if so will there at least be one route to save them all or are some death minimums gonna be unavoidable.
They're Patreon-only for now, but I think that we may be able to release them to public after some time. Additionally, if Rook lets me, I may implement a few utility passwords myself and make them available for everyone.
The passwords are for additional game-modes that have no real bearing on the story. For example the only password currently implemented unlocks Shirtless mode where all of the sprites are shirtless regardless of where you are in the story.
Not gonna lie I love Jude he feels like me and I don't want to sound narcissistic but he reminds me of all the things I love in myself that I'd like to see in a spouse.. also I like deer boys.
I love what you guys are doing, the concept, the art, the mystery, and(OH GOD YES) the writing. Each update is a struggle to wait for, I yearn for each one of them.
I have been following this VN for the longest time, and it helped spark an old flame for writing in the time of my deep dark depression. Keep up the good work, inspire more people, bring joy, and emotional catharsis.
No pressure, just keep on doing what you are doing.
Well, the way we have it set up is that instead of actually making an effect happen (say, incrementing a "character points" variable whenever you choose a character), we just store all the choices you ever make in the entire game. So if we want to make an early prologue choice meaningful in the future, we can do that in future builds without worry.
So like setting flags (bools) in C# that get marked true false etc for each decision and having events check for specific flags later.
Or something of the like I am just guessing cause I only know aspects of C#, or adding every decision to a list and having the game parse the list! I dunno I'm just making silly guesses at this point.
I loved the new update a lot!! (Thecuddlesmeltedme) I know there aren't many CGs in the game, but I just wanted to ask if there would be a gallery in the making any time soon. I really like the art of of this game, so I think a gallery of sorts would be a nice addition to the game...just wondering🐊
Have you tried redownloading? What type of phone you have? (This might be the first time I've seen something like this... so I'm not exactly sure where to begin.)
Hmm interesting, I'll hit up my programmer Melo and see if he has any other ideas. Unfortunately for now, the only alternative I can offer is trying the PC/Mac Build until we can identify the issue.
Hey I ran into a bit of an issue with the mobile version. Each time I play it's really choppy. Like throughout the game I have to wait after each tap I make starting from the loading or start screen and even during a playthrough. I don't know if others are experiencing this or if it's an issue on my end but that's what I've been experiencing. I love the game and I hope you get it done up to the point youd like it to be so please keep going, I just thought it'd be helpful to mention this issue here.
Also I'd like to add that I love how you are putting the theme of Psychic abilities in the world because it's mostly written off as fantasy or fake, I myself am a psychic I'd like to say. I say that because I'm not sure that I'd be considered a psychic because I have a talent for communing with the energy around me including a person's nervous system, I mainly use my talent to soothe aches and pains to a minor degree because my talent is very limited in the sense that I can only do so much for a person before getting too tired to keep going. I'm sorry if I seem like I'm bragging or showing off but I think I just felt a need to put it out there, mainly because I'm alone in having this talent inside my friend circle and I'm mainly trusted to help them with their bodily troubles and picking up on these troubles.
Main point is, I love what you're doing with this vn and I'm cheering for you all. I know it can be a daunting task to do something like this because it's a very sensitive topic but thus far you've all done a wonderful job at portraying the problems and coping mechanisms of psychics.
Thanks so much for making this vn and I can't wait to see what you have in store.
I've got a LG K40 running on one of the newer Android os. My first assumption is that it's a screwup that happened at the download, but it persists after I updated it and also reinstalled the game. I'd give you a proper bug report from my device but I honestly don't know how I'd go about accessing the game's core files neither how to read JavaScript or any other digital language.
Played the latest build and really loved the story and the characters. The only thing i'm a bit worried about is Jude's Dreamcatcher tattoo. Dreamcatchers are very important to various native's people culture, and many see it just randomly using it as appropation. Of course, the full game isn't out or anything, so i just hope this bit is explained or handled in a way that's respectful to native people, and for it to don't feel like appropation.
Besides that, i'm hooked on the story and the characters. Can't wait for the next build.
I don't wish to spoil anything, so I'll just say that if you play Jude's route, you' probably learn a bit more about what happened to him, and you'll also probably learn how he got his eyebrow scar, and what led him to get the tattoo. Every design element (or lack of thereof) is intentional and has a reason behind it, so rest assured we aren't doing anything "randomly". 🙂
Shirtless Mode is the only password implemented. We implement a new password every other month. We just want to keep others informed in case they decide to become a patron for the passwords. It's not publicly available at this time.
Does this VN have nsfw scenes? I prefer my games without those, or with a story behind it like Fueled by Insanity. The VN is listed as a slice of life but.. the fandom usually gives purely nsfw stuff that title.
So, the game have a pretty good story and it does not have nsfw scenes yet (v 0.5.4) but it seams that it will have some in the next update (i'm not part of the dev team of this game, so, about the story, it's pretty good based in My Opinion, and about the NSFW, there is a Newsfeed where they said it will have NSFW in the next update)
i'm on pc. Whenever i open the VN it just remains black (no logo, no music, nothing) and if i click on the window, it stops working. However if i don't click on the window it remains black forever or until i close it.
Give the suggestions/directions in this link a try and let me know if that works for you. (If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what else we can try without more PC information.)

so far, my experience with this VN has been immersive and mesmerizing! no errors to report, giving 5 stars 'cause it definitely deserves!
I seem to be unable to load my last save, it shows an error screen. Any advice on what to do?
Try to rollback or ignore. If neither of those work, you gotta start a new save. This should be easier in the next version, hopefully!
I love this so much! the last time I remember playing it was in 2020 and the build ended at the end of day 2, I'm so glad I chose to play it again! Can't wait for more builds!
I love this game i really do but the texts is still all crazy and I don't know what to do oh and it's on window
Can you send a screenshot to better explain the issue?
I'm really sorry for bothering you about it
No worries Gogeta. I recommend giving the steps in this link a try and see if you have any luck there.
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/display_problems.html
Let me know whether or not that works for you.
sorry Rook no luck but think you for trying it means a lot that you take the time out of you day to help me and other so thank you
im not sure if its because of me or the game but the update doesn't let me skip seen text from the past update
Sometimes that happens. Ren'py wasn't really made with this whole frequent release updates in mind. I'm coming up with something to help with that situation though, hopefully.
The music to this VN is very beautiful! Is the soundtrack being sold anywhere?
Not at this time no, we might put an OST together once the soundtrack is finalized and the project is finished, but even then I can't imagine we'd charge for it.
Is there a specific way to obtain the Passwords or is that a patreon exclusive...?

When you go to meet Jude to run with him, his sprite during most of that moment, his eyes looks empty.
We were going for a dazed expression but it seems we were off the mark for that because many have assumed it was a bug so it's likely that expression will be changed.
When you launch from the itch app, why are there 20 different 'versions' available? I have no idea which one is the most updated one??
Huh I guess the itch app isn't hiding the old versions we'd kept for statistics but set to not hide. Thank you for bringing this to our attention we'll remove the old versions shortly.
Ohhhhh. I was wondering IF that was the reason you had soooo many different 'versions' in that list. I tend to just keep the most recent version I have up for my games.
uhm, how often do you guy usually release updates? from what i saw, a month per update?
Generally it's 1 month per update but real life CAN get in the way pushing that to 1 uodate every 2 months. However, we aim for one a month.
Hey. When the next patreon update will come?
Patrons get 0.7 at the end of the month putting us back on schedule.
ok, thanks the answer :)
I have a question Mr. Rook and Developers,
Do you guys have any future plot hooks that could lead to the death of a person in this game and if so will there at least be one route to save them all or are some death minimums gonna be unavoidable.
Also I don't think the MC will survive the lewd times with jude or elliot lmfaoo
Well that'd be just the biggest spoiler now wouldn't it?
Well I hope at the minimum save jude every time lmfaoo
I have a question, is Zoe a love interest (or going to be in the future)?
At the moment there are no plans to make Zoe a love interest.
That's unfortunate, but at least I still have Quinn <3
love the game Btw hope to see more!
I think Adan is cool that's why I'm going his route all the way! and pulse I ship them I think Andan and Mason really work
I wanted to hug quinn so badly multiple times! THE BUNNY BOY NEEDS A HUG!
lets goooooo cant wait for MOOOORRREEE!!!
Me neither lets go YAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Are the passwords hidden in the game or are they only on patreon?
They're Patreon-only for now, but I think that we may be able to release them to public after some time. Additionally, if Rook lets me, I may implement a few utility passwords myself and make them available for everyone.
Thank you for the info :)
Question....what are these passwords for?
The passwords are for additional game-modes that have no real bearing on the story. For example the only password currently implemented unlocks Shirtless mode where all of the sprites are shirtless regardless of where you are in the story.
Love the game so far. Aidan is probably my favourite.
Love the game so far! Keep it up. I really like Jude so far!
(PS.) I think the main character (the player) should be able to work out in the future versions, make him get buff.
Not gonna lie I love Jude he feels like me and I don't want to sound narcissistic but he reminds me of all the things I love in myself that I'd like to see in a spouse.. also I like deer boys.

Toodles :3
So do the choices we make in the beginning of the game affect anything after choosing the routes or no?
There is some minor impact, but not TOO major. The prologue is mostly meant for you to get to know all the boys and get a gist of what they're about.
Well, the way we have it set up is that instead of actually making an effect happen (say, incrementing a "character points" variable whenever you choose a character), we just store all the choices you ever make in the entire game.

Who's taller Mason or Aiden I can't tell?
Aiden is taller.
That... was a really quick response!
I try my best. <3
wait was the laying on the grass scene with Zoe taken away ?
- and i really like how after picking your route the home screen shows the person you pick.
No? It wasn't. (At least it shouldn't have been though I'm now suddenly doubting myself haha.)
jude has a....dangerous ....very dangerous tool.
this is such a great birthday gift. thanks rook!
Also is there a soundtrack anywhere? I love the music as well :)
I loved the new update a lot!!
(Thecuddlesmeltedme) I know there aren't many CGs in the game, but I just wanted to ask if there would be a gallery in the making any time soon. I really like the art of of this game, so I think a gallery of sorts would be a nice addition to the game...just wondering🐊We have plans for a Cinematic Gallery as well as a Sound Room, they're just not QUITE ready yet.
Error on mac version
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:

NameError: name 'side_images' is not defined
Huh. How are you running the game? Are you unzipping the file and running the game directly from the unzipped files?
Yep
Have the same prob on my pc
Uhh I need help, when I entered the home screen it only gave me black screen and I can't touch anything to even start the game.
Have you tried redownloading? What type of phone you have? (This might be the first time I've seen something like this... so I'm not exactly sure where to begin.)
I haven't redownload it, my phone is Vivo Y91c but it worked just fine in all your previous updates. I'll inform you again when I've redownloaded it.
I'm still having the same problem after redownloading it. This is the only pic I saw before the screen goes black and untouchable.
Hmm interesting, I'll hit up my programmer Melo and see if he has any other ideas. Unfortunately for now, the only alternative I can offer is trying the PC/Mac Build until we can identify the issue.
Okay, thank you for your response. I'm looking forward to play this game again.

Nobody else has reported this issue, do you perhaps have an older phone?
I've got a LG K40 running on one of the newer Android os. My first assumption is that it's a screwup that happened at the download, but it persists after I updated it and also reinstalled the game. I'd give you a proper bug report from my device but I honestly don't know how I'd go about accessing the game's core files neither how to read JavaScript or any other digital language.
I thought it's completed. It's too good! I want a continuation right now!
Well certainly not right now, but the next update is getting released Saturday. So that's something to look forward to.
i got exicted today because its saturday. and i forgot that its probably still friday there. cant wait till tomorrow uwu

when i loaded up the game all the text was messed up (this was the pc version) the text looked mainly like lines
Yeah, we've had some reports of such issues.
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/display_problems.html Give the suggestions/directions in this link a try and let me know if that works for you. Most people have solved this by changing the renderer used.
Will be Zoe added to romance, so you could date her. Just asking.
There are no plans for a Zoe route at this time.
Thx for reply.
What is the password for the Shirtless mode? I assume that one is public access given it was mentioned, and other passwords weren't
Shirtless Mode is the only password implemented. We implement a new password every other month. We just want to keep others informed in case they decide to become a patron for the passwords. It's not publicly available at this time.

whats the password
whenever i open this vn it stops working. how can i fix this, already tried changing to open as administrator but no luck. heeeeelp
Are you on PC, Mac, or Mobile? Could you elaborate on stops working? Screenshots especially for any errors would be very helpful.
i'm on pc. Whenever i open the VN it just remains black (no logo, no music, nothing) and if i click on the window, it stops working. However if i don't click on the window it remains black forever or until i close it.
