100/10 Oh man, the story is really amazing! I thought that the story is gonna be pretty linear since the main theme has already been ran into the ground by multiple sci-fi visual novels in the past, but boy was I wrong. It's hard to praise how good the main theme is without giving spoilers so I'm just gonna go ahead and say that you did an amazing job! Not to mention the animations, both the h-scenes and non-h-scenes are so satisfying to watch since they are so smooth, even the facial expressions fit the character's emotions so well. Another great thing about this is the interaction between the characters, whenever the MC interacts with them; the main girls primarily. However, I felt like some characters, specifically the MILFs, are just craving for some vitamin D for a very shallow reason. Other than that, I feel like I'm watching a real conversation between friends, unlike in some games where the conversations felt like they were written by a 12-year old or something. You can definitely feel that the MC and Darci are really good friends just by going through with their usual banters. The episode ending left on probably one of the best cliffhangers I've ever seen (is it weird if it reminded me of the infamous scene from the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer?)! All in all, this game is top-notch and really deserves all the support that it can get! I would really like to support the game on Patreon but I'm still just a college student and I have to manage my budgets wisely so the best I can do for now is to show how much I loved the game. Thanks for the hard work, and rest assured that I, along with your other supporters will be here cheering you on every step of the way!
I have to say the story and everything overall exceeded what I was expecting. Its rare to find a game like this with a good story and unique characters i can relate to. Looking forward to new episodes yo ;d
not by resolution but on cg..to many cg from only 1 character..if this game complete,I don't think this game can be download on 2nd PC due to oversize data..I've saw 1 game before with over 6Gb compress data..took me more than 6+ hour and it can't be transfer due to it size..maybe it's time to me to give up on this game..thanks for your reply...
I will try to make a compressed build next update. If I forget, write in the comments and remind me. The game is pretty big because there are already almost 300 video animations. The game is already compressed a little but I will try to make one a lot smaller next time but the quality won't be as good.
I don't have a Mac so I can't really tell you, but you shouldn't have to transfer your saves. I do have a few MacOS users and none of them had problems with saves. If you want I can ask one of them about saves. Come to my discord and we'll try to figure it out.
why did you have to end it with such a good cliffhanger! I want to read more but I have to wait for the development. such a good game and I cant wait to see what kind of plot twists you put in here. you definitely have your own personality when it comes to the story.
By far one of the best games I've played on this website. the characters and dialog feel real, not like some words to make you get to the next porn scene or whatever. The interactions with the characters made me genuinely laugh sometimes and the characters are lovable. the animations alone make me feel that this game shouldn't be free. I wish the best for the dev and for this game :)
Man i loved the game, it had so many details, I am not a disinger and i don`t know much game development but i can say that is so much affection and care in this game, like we say in my country: Juegazo. When is it finished and if i can buy it i will definitely will. keep it up.
I have to agree here, nothing I've played on this site has so much invested into the scenes. The facial expressions, the movements, the flesh reacting to movements and touch, the sound design, S Tier quality.
I really like this game so far! From the visuals, to the captivating story, to of course the amazing NSFW scenes. I'll definently be checking out even more updates in the future! And oh boy i thought the chapter 3 part 1 cliffhanger was bad xD. This update's one is even worse! Can't wait for the next update.
Anyway, i just wanted to let you know that the game you're working hard to make, has definently been worth your efforts :D
I absolutely adore this story and the visuals, top tier quality, cant wait for the new update As an aside the Bob part had me screaming 'NOO' way too loudly for the middle of the night..
A very immersive story thank you for sharing it with us :)
One of the best AVN I have completed, the art work is amazing and the story line is great also. Can't wait for the next update to come out, which btw, any idea when that may be?
Hold on, I'll link a video showing one example. I'm ngl, some are hard to find, but I found people like it that way. I play to make a separate gallery I'm the next update for the hidden pictures.
Absolutely awesome game so far! Wonderful art, fantastic storytelling and amazing animations! I can't say I fully understand all everything that goes into making a story like this but I definitely appreciate the time commitment, technical expertise and attention to detail that you have put into this. Very well done so far and thank you for sharing! I look forward to the further development of this story as well as your future works!
Thanks, Stratyys. I'm glad you noticed the attention to detail and the extra effort I try to put into Ripples. You can see why updates take a little longer than other similar games. I'm trying to make Ripples unique and gives you guys a better experience than normal. Thanks for player!
This is such a great AVN... Everything from the plot, to the characters, soundtrack, the insanely good 3d animations, etc... Amazing work. Dont know what your objectives are with this project but i think you'd get some pretty good scores on a platform like Steam. This easily tops most of the 3D AVN's there.
I'm not sure about steam. I don't think anyone puts HS games on there, but I could be wrong. Ripples will always be free, but helping to support it Patreon will help a lot. It will ensure I don't have to go back to my old job, which would slow down updates ALOT! I'm giving it the end of the year to see if I can get enough support so I don't have to go back to my old job. These updates sure do take a lot of time with the amount a custom maps, custom animations, music/sound I put in to it. Thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😊
There isn't one made for the new update, but there is an old one someone made for ttheall the other updates in my discord. Use the command !wt to access it. I will try to make my own walkthrough for the next update.
This novel had me all up in my feels. Laughing, raging (on behalf of the characters), falling in love, and fucking crying! I like to think I'm like the MC but I'm probably more like Brad and Brad would defo love this novel. 5 stars
Sorry. The person the usually makes them every update decided not to continue making them anymore. So I need to see if someone else will or I might just make one myself. Sorry. I think there a walkthrough mod floating around the internet though.
Haha, no. My high schools colors are black and orange, so I decided to make it the same colors. So I was just looking for logos with those colors. Although, I wish I didn't make the lockers orange in the game. It's kinda an eye sore. 😅
No I haven't wrote a single fucking resume nor did I attempt to look for a job, why? Coz I'm a fucking <insert name>... But still yes, I do agree with this heartfelt review of yours. This game has given my suicidal ass a reason to live a few more years just to see this game through.
So in the first chapter the MC is talking about Tiffany and says "I know she's a cool landyland..." is that a typo or what the fuck is a landyland lol.
Lol, saw an emote on discord that was Darci's face, but it was used in a thread on the OiaLT server. Feel like there's a lot of crossover and practically collaboration between the creators of these games.
The new update didn't actually update. It saved as a new game with no saves. But I transferred my save game to the new Ripples folder and it worked out fine.
Bob gave me a proper laugh-out-loud moment. If you've played it then you know what I'm talking about!
I'm looking forward to the next update as the mystery is deepening...

can i play this on joiplay?
Wish you guys can compress the file..it's to big and not yet completed
true
Hope,they will redo the size of this game 😓

Thanks,boss
Great game. Like the storyline hope part 4 will be out soon.
How do I transfer my saves on Mac?
I don't have a Mac so I can't really tell you, but you shouldn't have to transfer your saves. I do have a few MacOS users and none of them had problems with saves. If you want I can ask one of them about saves. Come to my discord and we'll try to figure it out.
this is so good and i love the George Carlin "7 dirty words" part ,i burst out laughing at that part :)
Glad you caught that. 🤣
Good VN, Waiting for Part 4!!! Hope it's not gonna be Paid when it becomes Full Ver. $1 is ₱48-54 in PH.
Man cmon thats just selfish - some games are worth it and THIS is one of them.
I don't have money ok? Plus even buy a sliced bread cost like ₱100-150 in convert to USD it's just $2-3.
I can't even buy my Favorite game so i just download Crack Versions, Even a Osu!Supporter cost ₱200 convert to USD it's just $4.
I'm sorry ok, It's ok to call meselfisheveryone says that to me anyways even in the house.Man I don't need to hear your life story. Move on.
This game will always be free, but patrons get early access, custom art, wallpapers, discord ranks, and so on.
thanks man, it's really just a blessing. It's insanely good afterall.
why did you have to end it with such a good cliffhanger! I want to read more but I have to wait for the development. such a good game and I cant wait to see what kind of plot twists you put in here. you definitely have your own personality when it comes to the story.

One of the best games I've played, only played through it once and only missed out on one scene, cant wait to see what comes next
Is Shelby an option now and if so do I have to tell her off, or let her slide?
Man i loved the game, it had so many details, I am not a disinger and i don`t know much game development but i can say that is so much affection and care in this game, like we say in my country: Juegazo. When is it finished and if i can buy it i will definitely will. keep it up.
and sorry if it the mesagge is wrong writed, inglish is my 2º leguage
No worries, my friend. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The story will start getting really interesting in the next couple of episodes. 😁
I have to agree here, nothing I've played on this site has so much invested into the scenes. The facial expressions, the movements, the flesh reacting to movements and touch, the sound design, S Tier quality.
Hello. Can someone please let me know if you can use the saves from the older version in this version? Or do you need to start again? Thank you!
You can, but if you're ok Android you have to copy the saves from the old directory. Read the changelog above.
OK, thanks Jestur. No, I am not playing it on Android, just a PC.
I really like this game so far! From the visuals, to the captivating story, to of course the amazing NSFW scenes. I'll definently be checking out even more updates in the future!

ikr?..i was like ooooooh shit on Bob's part :D
One of the best AVN I have completed, the art work is amazing and the story line is great also. Can't wait for the next update to come out, which btw, any idea when that may be?
How does the hidden object thing work? I don't know what is counted as unusual...
Hold on, I'll link a video showing one example. I'm ngl, some are hard to find, but I found people like it that way. I play to make a separate gallery I'm the next update for the hidden pictures.
Ok thank you, where are you putting the link?

Great game so far, love the plot.
Thanks, MTLies. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😊
What will be the effect if I gove or chose not to give tge necklace to Khloe? are there major differences?
For now it's only dialogue difference.
Are there any stats in this game like a sandbox visual novel or is it choice-based and directly linear?
It's a choice-based game as far as I know
There are stats, or points, but once you get locked into a route, it's mostly choices based on true or false after that.
where are you from sir
Midwest part of the USA

Do you have a walkthrough? This story is next level I don't want to miss a single scene by choosing the wrong answer lol
There isn't one made for the new update, but there is an old one someone made for ttheall the other updates in my discord. Use the command !wt to access it. I will try to make my own walkthrough for the next update.
this is one of if not the best 3d visual novels ive seen cant wait for the next update
Wow, thanks Anon. I'm glad you like it!
Can't wait for he next chapter! 5/5
Also that Bob scene, rip u_u.
bruh, tf moon and darcia be vibin doe @onceinalifetime
Holy shit i just finished that game a couple days ago and i didnt notice that
Is there NTR in game?
No there isn’t
This novel had me all up in my feels. Laughing, raging (on behalf of the characters), falling in love, and fucking crying! I like to think I'm like the MC but I'm probably more like Brad and Brad would defo love this novel. 5 stars
Is there a walkthrough pdf for episode 3 part 2 ?
Sorry. The person the usually makes them every update decided not to continue making them anymore. So I need to see if someone else will or I might just make one myself. Sorry. I think there a walkthrough mod floating around the internet though.
Thanks
Did you by chance go to OSU? I ask that because of the school. I'd recognize that sport logo anywhere.
Haha, no. My high schools colors are black and orange, so I decided to make it the same colors. So I was just looking for logos with those colors. Although, I wish I didn't make the lockers orange in the game. It's kinda an eye sore. 😅
I'm absolutely loving this game so far, and I can't wait for the next episode!!
i just want too ask if there will be ntr or heavy drama in certain choices
No ntr. There may be drama no matter the choice, but no really heavy drama
Thats fine i just hate when games give somethingblike a neighbor that causes over the top drama with no warning or background to it
Your comment made me laugh and indeed ripples is the real deal
No I haven't wrote a single fucking resume nor did I attempt to look for a job, why? Coz I'm a fucking <insert name>... But still yes, I do agree with this heartfelt review of yours. This game has given my suicidal ass a reason to live a few more years just to see this game through.
So in the first chapter the MC is talking about Tiffany and says "I know she's a cool landyland..." is that a typo or what the fuck is a landyland lol.
Also, MC has great taste in AVNs lol
Is this scene an easter egg for Judie from Once In a Lifetime like Caribdis did once?
That face is unmistakable lol. Also, you can actually see OIAL in MC's library in chapter 3, albeit blurry.
The camaraderie of all these adult game devs are truly admirable. Respect...
Lol, saw an emote on discord that was Darci's face, but it was used in a thread on the OiaLT server. Feel like there's a lot of crossover and practically collaboration between the creators of these games.
The new update didn't actually update. It saved as a new game with no saves. But I transferred my save game to the new Ripples folder and it worked out fine.
Bob gave me a proper laugh-out-loud moment. If you've played it then you know what I'm talking about!
I'm looking forward to the next update as the mystery is deepening...
I'm glad you got it to work out. Android builds are always a struggle to get working flawlessly. I'm happy you enjoyed it.
The limit of my programming knowledge began and ended with:
on the Spectrum 48K many years ago. So I am in awe of anyone who can put together something for me to play with or without flaws.
Thanks for all your hard work :)
