There's a lot to like about this game. Beautiful art, great score, and the characters and relations are so interesting that I think about them even when I'm not playing the game.
This game has given me much joy. Thank you for making it ♥
I played the first four chapters on mac, and then downloaded the fifth when it came out. It made a new file of the game (rise of the white flower 2) and when I opened I had all my progress saved. so when I downloaded chapter six it made another copy (rise of the white flower 3) but when I open the game to play it doesn't have any of my progress. it starts at the beginning of the game. Is there a way to avoid this/update the game without downloading a completely new version?
Ah. That is due to unity spontaneously deciding to change the save path on Mac.
The game save files were originally kept in this location on Mac: '~/Library/Application Support/com.Company.ProductName'
But the latest version of unity changed it to the one used on Windows which is: '~/Library/Application Support/com.NecroBunnyStudios.RiseoftheWhiteFlower'
You would have to copy the files from the first location into the second one. But frankly, you can also just hold the S key to skip all text. Using that you should be able to get to chapter 6 in just a few minutes.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and it doesn't show a menu to start the game but there's a cursor if I hover over the left side of the menu screen almost like they are invisible.
Just finished chapter 6 and I say this is one of the best visual novels I played in a good while. I know people have said this before but I love how the characters all have their own backstories, personality, and aren't just one-dimensional characters. I really love the world-building in this game and how this world is filled with history, how different races worked around the wars and many more. I also have a suggestion, how about a pegging scene with one of the boys? I've had the idea in my head after getting to know Labashi and thought 'What if instead of always being this arrogant and dominant man he is now the sub, the one begging to cum in front of us'. (You also don't have to Labashi, he was just the first guy I thought about when thinking about a pegging scene)
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. <3 But hmm... I don't think we'll be adding pegging to the game. It's not really my cup of tea so I don't think I would be able to write a good scene.
oh and also, as a quick idea, you could update the part where it says info about the characters (for example, it still shows catherine and eleanor as novices and adventurers). Like, make it to update every time something changes or new information is revealed (like Kyo and other character´s kinks). I don´t think it´d be that hard and it´s a really nice and underused feature imo.
Also was curious if the alchemy, inventory and that were going to even be used or are just there as dumped ideas, no complaints I just want to know
I have a question, is there any way to like, see all the other messages you put with catherine at the end of the final chapter? they´re funny as fuck, honestly one of my favorite parts, but only could see the ones for chapter 4 and 6 and I so want to see the others
I hope it gets to be a thing, though I know developing this is not easy. It just feels like a waste of work, such funny interactions being left in the void to never be seen again, but yeah obviously you do you
sooo I just loaded my save and something went wrong, I appear on the map and when I click to go into the next quest (going out to find silver eye with the other girl) it just stays frozen with catherine in her house and no text, it can´t advance. I´m guessing something must´ve corrupted or I saved in a specific frame while changing areas that glitched it, but I wanted to try luck if there´s any way of saving it. if not well, at least coming to comment this made me notice chapter 6 is out
nvm it fixed itself the third time I opened it, don´t know why, well now I have chpt 6 so that´s neat, keep up the amazing work, this game really is something else
It isn't normal. Check if you have enough space to install it. Also, I've heard that downloading on a pc and then transferring to the device might help.
When google fixes it or I get a workaround from unity. I've been told that it is working again in the latest version of Android, so maybe not too long now.
Having the same problem on galaxy 9+ game downloads and loads up but no menu options 😭 I can click around on the left side where I'm assuming the buttons should be but nothing is there..game looks interesting hope Google fixes it or unity hooks you up with that work around.
Hi, i would like to know if it's a issue of the game or my pone but when i'm trying to install it says that there's and error analyzing the files (when i'm trying to install it), oh and my phone is and Android 9, thanks for your time
Hmmm. The only issue I know of is that the game doesn't work on android 11. But I never saw anything about not being able to install... Perhaps you don't have enough free space?
it always happens when games and apps installed from somewhere that isn´t your official store (google play or appstore). Your only choice is to be careful with what you download, games like this live on donations and things and they have a decent bussiness going so the devs wouldn´t risk it, but be careful with shady stuff.
Ah, don't worry about it. Thank you for helping out with the proofreading, it's much appreciated! I'll also be changing the format here on itch soon. I want to change the comment section into an actual forum since the volume of messages is getting a little high. :P
Always put a comma after "which" since it introduces a subordinate clause.
"And, unlike most of the taverns in this part of town, Jacques stocked only fresh and good quality ingredients, which made Catherine's job far easier." - missing comma.
No, you would not put a comma after "which". The comma after "ingredients" is sufficient to indicate a subordinate clause. A comma after "which" would simply be ungrammatical.
No, that is not a safe rule of thumb. If there were another clause between "but" and "she prepared it masterfully", one would need a comma. (e.g. "It was quite a simple dish, but, as she'd done many times before, she prepared it masterfully.")
As it stands, however, an additional comma would be incorrect.
We have 2 facts: 1 it was a simple dish and despite that (in other words "but") 2 she prepared it exceptionally well.
I understood it as praising her cooking skills and Catherine still giving it her all in terms of skill despite the simplicity of the dish on its own. You'd get the same opposition by breaking the structure into 2 sentences and using "However, ...".
I'd get the meaning of "It trivially easy to make, especially for someone with her cooking skills.", if the quoted text had "and" instead of "but".
Then again, maybe it's the influence of my mother tongue showing here - it strictly requires a comma after every clause.
Either way, I'm genuinely at loss, so would you mind explaining in more detail?
"But" is a coordinating conjunction connecting two independent clauses. The sentence structure is [Clause 1][Comma][Coord. Conjunction][Clause 2]. There is no comma that follows the coordinating conjunction.
And soon after: "Eleanor was still red, but she looked encouraged by the crowd and continued making her way towards the bar."
That doesn't work.
Someone can "give you courage" in the meaning of making you braver, but "to encourage someone" means to persuade them to purse an activity, like parents making a child take up a sport or some other hobby. It isn't applicable to a single action, nor does it mean "make someone brave", so it can't be used here.
Briwala speaking back on the surface: "Keep close to Catherine and watch each other's back." It should be "backs" since she's referring to Eleanor and Catherine, so 2 people instead of 1.
Catherine speaking to a being the party encountered: "We're trusting in you, lead us out of here." Drop the "in", the established phrases are "to trust someone" or to "put your trust in them".
Eleanor commenting on an ally: "But I wouldn't trust that nut job as far as I can throw a horse."
The phrase is "I would trust her as far as I can throw her." (since the described person is female) and I have trouble picturing Eleanor throwing a full grown horse, regardless of how strong she might be.
The next page of the same fight: "A ray of fire exploded from her fingers and traveled with blinding speed towards her target, it exploded against the cultist's chest and quickly made his body and clothes catch on fire. As the flames spread, they hit the web, which immediately caught on fire and thrusted the other cultists into a roaring inferno of flames."
It's either that something "is on fire" or "catches fire". "Catch on fire" doesn't work. I also added a few commas to places where they were missing (the first part is an adjunct of time ("as the flames spread" and the other is a subordinate clause ("which ..."), so the commas are obligatory).
A fight in the caves: "Briwala said without stopping, she ran alongside Catherine's web, one of the cultists had actually gotten himself free and was on her way." It should be "in her way".
Storming a certain building in chapter 3: "Briwala rushed him and got to him just as he was regaining her footing." Since the foe is said to be a he, it should be "his footing".
The investigation part with Catherine in the cathedral after the initial confrontation. If you apologize to the cleric, he'll question her laughter and her response is: "You just remind me a lot of my best friends." The following question is what kind of man said person is, so it should be "friend" in the quoted line since it's referring to a single person.
Chapter 3, if you accept the offer of a certain character: "Catherine got her answer almost immediately as a voice appeared on her head."
It should be "in her head", unless there's a tiny invisible creature actually on her forehead, which sounds funny as a possibility, but doesn't fit with telepathic communication.
I'm in chapter 3 and chose hugs twice (because it's cute and wholesome :D) and the sentence I spotted is about the person Catherine is teaching: "The young tiefling was being able to do everything on her own."
It's already in the past tense, so not only does "being" not flow naturally with the rest, it also breaks the agreement of tenses. Drop it. If you want to emphasize it's only temporary a construction like "this time" would work.
P.S. While I was taught a good deal about grammar, I'm not a native speaker. If my corrections ever feel off, do tell, I'd love to learn and improve. :)
A minor typo in conversation after the battle. Catherine speaking: "I... Might have cast a spell that was beyond my abilities, took some Feedback for my troubles." It should be "feedback".
Still the same orc fight, now with the orc leader taking a swing at the knight: "Eleanor did not take her eyes of the orc as he raised his axe to deliver another blow." It should be "off".
I spotted a few more typos. Still the fight with the orcs in chapter 2.
The first isn't strictly speaking a typo, but it stood out. Eleanor has the line: "So be it. FOR THE Empire!" before charging at the orcs. It would make more sense to have "EMPIRE" since I doubt she'd only scream the first 2 words.
A few pages later there's a paragraph about how the same woman will fight orcs not caught up in a web. The sentence is about the orcs: "All three started getting up at the same time, but Eleanor was the quicker of the tree." It should either be that she was the fastest of the 4 since all 4 combatants are in focus or that she was "quicker than the three orcs". I doubt a tree sprouted on the battlefield all of a sudden.
P.S. You probably figured this out already, but I saw I forgot to say this before. Animals like boars, deer and horses have hooves/hoofs. I wanted to mention it since I pointed out a problem last time, but forgot to add a solution.
And would it be possible to have a dedicated section for typos? It'll probably be easier to keep track of them in one place. Just an idea. :)
Ah, thank you for the corrections. We have a channel in our discord dedicated to typos, you're more than welcome to join us there.
I also corrected many, many typos since this version was released almost 3 months ago. I'll take a proper look at your suggestions when I have some time, but now we're busy getting Chapter 6 ready for the public release, which should come out tomorrow.

This game has given me much joy. Thank you for making it ♥
Happy to hear you're enjoying it! <3
Aaww Lena is so cute! ( ๑>ᴗ<๑ )
I feel like her romance has the potential to be the cutest one. I love her! You better give us those half elves !!
Thank you for giving us such a great game as well !
Hehe glad you're enjoying it! <3
Love the game! Please please please tell me something happens with Marius at some point!! <3
Chapter 7 is going to have a lot of him!
Yay! I love all the characters so far, but when he first arrived I was like "Oh hello~" want to frustrate him to the point where he just snaps!

Didn't know you could do that, thank you. Great support
Is there a mega link because the link for Android didn't work pls help
Mega
Same Problem
can anyone please help me
On Android and the game won't start. Comes up on the main screen but no start options. Help?
Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and it doesn't show a menu to start the game but there's a cursor if I hover over the left side of the menu screen almost like they are invisible.
same problem here 😔

Yes, I've been meaning to do that but there never seems to be enough time.
The alchemy system is being integrated into the tavern system that is coming next chapter.
Damn I finished chpt 6 already, it felt so quick.
I have a question, is there any way to like, see all the other messages you put with catherine at the end of the final chapter? they´re funny as fuck, honestly one of my favorite parts, but only could see the ones for chapter 4 and 6 and I so want to see the others
Hmmm... There is no way to see the older ones, but I do have them saved. I could put them on a scene gallery of sorts.
I hope it gets to be a thing, though I know developing this is not easy. It just feels like a waste of work, such funny interactions being left in the void to never be seen again, but yeah obviously you do you
sooo I just loaded my save and something went wrong, I appear on the map and when I click to go into the next quest (going out to find silver eye with the other girl) it just stays frozen with catherine in her house and no text, it can´t advance.

This game will not finish loading on my Galaxy Tab S6 LITE with Android 11.
It hangs at the splash screen and will not run.
It is normal that it does not let me install the game, it downloads it by drive but it does not let me install it.
It isn't normal. Check if you have enough space to install it. Also, I've heard that downloading on a pc and then transferring to the device might help.
Cant see main menu on Android. Video
I have the same problem, haven't been able to play chapter 5.
Right now the game is not really working on android 11 and in some cases on android 10 too.
Got it. But then will it work? :)
When google fixes it or I get a workaround from unity. I've been told that it is working again in the latest version of Android, so maybe not too long now.
Having the same problem on galaxy 9+ game downloads and loads up but no menu options 😭 I can click around on the left side where I'm assuming the buttons should be but nothing is there..game looks interesting hope Google fixes it or unity hooks you up with that work around.
I'm trying to play on Windows 10, and I think I am missing something important. I just keep getting an empty main menu ;w;
Try running the game as administrator.
Yaay! It worked!!! Thank you! ^-^ <3

I have 16.38 GB remaining, but no worries, i'll just wait for a next update and see if i can install it in a next one, thanks for the response btw
Are you installing from an apk or directly from google drive?
Also had issues installing mine but I got it resolved by installing via a downloaded apk.
Yeah, i downloaded the APK from Google drive, and tried yo install the Game boy clicking the notificación, the common procces basically
Hmmm... I promise there isn't? Really though, it's safe.

Was Chapter 6 public release postponed? When do you plan it?
BTW Thanks for your work, this VN is really immersive, it's my favourite!
It's coming soon! We just got a little delayed!
Sorry that I'm bugging you so much. Somehow I read slowly and with focus and once you're in scanning mode, it's difficult to stop. XD
Ah, don't worry about it. Thank you for helping out with the proofreading, it's much appreciated!
I'll also be changing the format here on itch soon. I want to change the comment section into an actual forum since the volume of messages is getting a little high. :P
In that case, glad I could help. :D
Of course a new release will be in the forefront rather than fixing old typos, take all the time you need. :)
And thank you for the offer of Discord, but I'm more comfortable with forums.

"And, unlike most of the taverns in this part of town, Jacques stocked only fresh and good quality ingredients, which made Catherine's job far easier." - missing comma.
No, you would not put a comma after "which". The comma after "ingredients" is sufficient to indicate a subordinate clause. A comma after "which" would simply be ungrammatical.
*Rereads.* Yes that's what I meant.
Thanks for catching that :) and sorry, it was late and I was tired by that point.
Commas usually come before "which", not after.
"It was quite a simple dish, but she prepared it masterfully." - missing comma.
It's a safe rule of thumb to put a comma after "but" 90% of the time.
No, that is not a safe rule of thumb. If there were another clause between "but" and "she prepared it masterfully", one would need a comma. (e.g. "It was quite a simple dish, but, as she'd done many times before, she prepared it masterfully.")

Ah, so the same mistake. *Facepalm.* XD
Of course the comma comes before "but", not after.
Thank you. :)
Lesson learned: make corrections when you're rested.
I'm starting to think whoever wrote this must have been rather tired at the time. XD
"With a smile on her lips and a song on her heart, Catherine began to work on her special."
You need the comma because it's an adjunct of manner and it should be "in her heart" since it's not that she has the lyrics tattooed on her chest.
Soon after that: "Catherine and Jacques looked at each other before shooting Eleanor and inquisitive glance."
It should be "an", not "and".
And soon after: "Eleanor was still red, but she looked encouraged by the crowd and continued making her way towards the bar."
That doesn't work.
Someone can "give you courage" in the meaning of making you braver, but "to encourage someone" means to persuade them to purse an activity, like parents making a child take up a sport or some other hobby. It isn't applicable to a single action, nor does it mean "make someone brave", so it can't be used here.
After Catherine convinced Eleanor to put on the tavern costume: "Her face quickly began to get redder than red and she started to take a step back."
Not a mistake, but rather clumsy wording, it would suffice to say that Eleanor's face "grew/became as red as a tomato".
Briwala speaking back on the surface: "Keep close to Catherine and watch each other's back." It should be "backs" since she's referring to Eleanor and Catherine, so 2 people instead of 1.
Catherine speaking to a being the party encountered: "We're trusting in you, lead us out of here." Drop the "in", the established phrases are "to trust someone" or to "put your trust in them".

Would really want to play this game but it won't work on Android 11

A minor typo in conversation after the battle. Catherine speaking: "I... Might have cast a spell that was beyond my abilities, took some Feedback for my troubles." It should be "feedback".
And Catherine moving to finish off the trapped orcs with black oil and saying: "I knew this would come in hand.", it should be "handy".
Still the same orc fight, now with the orc leader taking a swing at the knight: "Eleanor did not take her eyes of the orc as he raised his axe to deliver another blow." It should be "off".
I spotted a few more typos. Still the fight with the orcs in chapter 2.
