Because he didnt bath there, falling on water would remove loose dirt but without scrubbing and/or running water dirt sticking to your skin(scales in this case) won't wash off, and well, about the smell, most of the time you will still stink even if you scrub under running water, if it has been long enough the stench sticks to you and to fight it off you will have to use some sort of hygiene product (like soap).
Why did I write a through explanation on how bathing works...? Thats weird
Yes, this issue has been fixed in v0.3.6. You are using v0.3.5. The newer version is currently patron-only, but will eventually be released to everybody.
Admittedly none of us in the team is using the desktop itch.io client, so we are unfamiliar with the way its downloading/updating features function. It's pretty likely that this error has nothing to do with the game files at the very least, since the builds work just fine when installed manually. What we can tell you is that a regular update on our end means deleting the previous downloadable builds from itch.io and uploading the new ones. We haven't set up butler yet, which may be why this happens.
Edit: We found what was causing the problem and it should be fixed now! Please let us know if you still encounter issues with the downloading and installation.
We released 0.3.6 for patrons at the start of December, and we are currently working on more content for the game. Due to the holidays, we may not post a new version this month, although it will depend on the pace we can manage over the next few weeks. Until then, you should check our Patreon for 0.3.6 (which also fixes a few game-breaking bugs from the previous version!).
The way I see it. Draxima wasn't bad. Also, why couldn't he have been introduced in the future? After the whole story was written. As an additional character, because additional non-story characters don't always fit into the canon of the world. You could have revealed the character and then introduced Draxim. I know several games with dozens of writers working on them. Including, as a writer, I understand that it's pretty hard to fit a character in, but it's not impossible. Hopefully it will return in the future, well, or be in a slightly altered form. Since it seems to me that if you do a poll about this character. I don't think anyone would be against him.
Draxima will not be returning to the game, as we have fully refunded the patron who owns the character. We reiterate that we believe we made the decision in the best interests of the project, as originally explained in this Patreon post.
We are a small team and we do not want to overpromise that which we realize we cannot deliver on. We ultimately want this game to succeed and to avoid further development hell, but in order to do that, we had to reduce the overall game's complexity. At the same time, we understand that some may dislike our decision, but we can assure people that we know the path forward for this project and that this gives us more time to focus on fleshing out the other characters.
Perhaps try pressing the F key? That will make the game fullscreen. By default it starts up as a 1920x1080 window, but for smaller screens it might get out of bounds a bit. We will look for a fix for this in the future.
The issue has been fixed in v0.3.6, which is currently patron only. For v0.3.5, you can try starting a new game and picking different choices throughout days 4 and 5. The issue is that on some choice menus, the variables which choices are selected weren't being reset correctly. So when the game reaches the point in the screenshot, it locks you out of selecting anything because it thinks all the choices were already selected.
Hey there! We don't have a griffin character, but we did have a feral black/white dragon named Draxima. Unfortunately, we have removed the character from the game. You can find more details about it in this post.
Hi, I wanted to inform you of a fact that happened to a friend of mine who played Identity.
Yesterday he downloaded your game and tried it. Today his computer no longer turned on it, so he took it to a technician. After a couple of hours it turned out that the Boot.ini files (used to start the PC) had been deleted.
I don't know if the cause is the fact that he previously downloaded the old versions of the game, so I wanted to inform you.
Hey there! We can assure you that this had nothing to do with our game files. The game is built using the latest stable version of the Godot Engine, which is a fully open source project, meaning every aspect of the engine (including file access permissions and security features) can be viewed and verified by the public. The game engine does not allow access to sensitive directories such as system paths. If such operation was performed, it would also usually be detected by malware detection services.
oh my god there's so much style in this. the title screen alone is like a punch in the face from a runway diva. please kiss your musician for me, he has given my ears the most vibing vibes @_.@-
There was a scene with the feral dragon. Is that still possible or is it over? Also, your game really has come a long way. I really love it. But I would love to see some Lucra action too! But I thought the feral dragon was rather cute! I had hoped he would be getting some content.
The feral dragon you're thinking of is Draxima. Unfortunately, we have removed the character from the game. You can find more details about it in this post. As far as Lucra goes, you can actually date her for the first time in version 0.3.6, which is currently out for $3+ patrons! And v0.3.6 also solves a few glitches that have been reported in versions 0.3.4 and 0.3.5 anyway, so we definitely recommend it.
Tried the game and I like what it has so far! Seems interesting and I'm already making some guesses as to what some things are or what is going on. Best of luck on this project.
Hi there! We currently don't have specific plans yet for 2022, as we don't plan our workloads that much in advance. Although we will likely create a roadmap early in 2022 for what we hope to achieve next year. Overall, we want to continue writing the main storyline and eventually reach the more juicy bits we have been planning for so long. We also want to deliver more character dating content, particularly for characters that have little to no content yet, like Azorin, Lucra and Cedrik. We also have plans to improve the game's framework and add more artwork.
We are aiming to release a new update by the end of this month, there's lots of new content in the works and lots more planned ahead, so you can look forward to these!
Hey there! You most likely will need root access on your device to access the game's files. Usually applications would store their data under Android/data, but that's not the case for Godot games. Or it may be also that, because the game itself is technically not "trusted" (downloaded from the official play store with all appropriate software signatures), it gets treated differently than regular apps and as such is not installed under the usual path. Either way, likely the best way to find the game files is to root your device. Looking up forum threads on where Godot stores its user:// path on Android may also help.
Also, in case you end up finding the save files themselves, they should in theory be fully compatible with the desktop versions of the game (this is not tested, but the save data has the same format everywhere).
been playing it and i really can say is wonderful! i like how the VN starts very intriguing and interesting and despite having time to rest and breathe it keeps alway with something intriguing or interesting happening, i can't wait to see more, too i can see there is a lot of work on the sountrack and art, the only think is that with the current version looks like i got a bug or error where music and sound arent working or reproducing, even tried to close and open the game again but instead of fix it now the whole game was stuck with only one song, it think it happened right after or when lucra entered inside the taxi and started to speak about mindalu, after that there music started to fail. still i ok with it i just commenting to try to give some feedback and wish you luck with the VN!
Of course! We're not forgetting Kovle or the rest of the cast, but we're also taking things one step at a time. The next update will focus on adding new dates for Brym and Lucra. Also, if you haven't already, you can join our Discord server where you can ask us these questions more easily!
Yes, someone else brought this up in our Discord server and we found a solution. You need to open a terminal in the folder where the app is downloaded and write "xattr -cr ./Identity.app" (without quotes). This removes the download attributes assigned to the app launcher.
It seems to be a problem with how Godot builds for macs at least on the current stable version, although there have been similar issues in the past with macs that have been fixed with new engine versions. For more info you can look up threads about the issue such as this: https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/nm5xtf/mac_export_wont_start_when_downlo...
You must first have the terminal be acting in the directory where your game is located for that command to work. You can look up tutorials on how to change directory on a mac terminal.
Hey there! The past year was overall slow for us in terms of releases, but during this time we addressed some of the biggest problems we had on the back-end by doing pre-production.
It was our own mismanagement and poor writing early on that led us to this, and we know it isn't great for keeping people interested. Our own lives also kicked in harder over the past year, and since we're entirely crowdfunded as a passion project, it has been hard to keep up a fast pace on development. Fortunately, we're faring way better right now, we have settled on a full story structure, we made many decisions about the direction we'll be taking.
We hope to have a faster cadence for pushing updates with meaningful content after this summer. We believe we have a really interesting story to tell, with plenty of psychological horror that will develop on Yarin's sense of self and the "monsters in his head" so to speak. And of course, the rest of the main cast will get to play their parts too. So lots to look forward to!
That’s good to hear! I’ve always found the story interesting, but it was unfortunate that there wasn’t enough at the time…glad you guys are in better shape now!🐊
I just started playing, and I must say, all the characters are great! Brym is a great character, and I just Draxima, (he's so sweet give me more of him please xD
Hey! While Mindalu's past and reasoning for her actions will be given more attention across the story, she is only supposed to be the antagonist of the first chapter of the game. She's not a dateable or romantic interest to Yarin, although there is currently an explicit scene/ending you can unlock with her by making specific choices regarding your interactions with her throughout the first 4 days of the game. But she as a character is not interested in you as a romantic interest, she's more interested in using you to make up for something she lost.
I understand... But will there be other branches with minor or major characters or something similar? for example, a romantic offshoot or a story about this character?
Simply... I liked this game and would like to support you, but I have money problems.
I am having problems with the hit-detection while playing the android version. For instance, i have to click / press my screen 10-15 times before the text advances, and it is really annoying.
JDS, if you ever see this comment, please look into this problem and hopefully you may be able to be fix it later on. I was pumped to play this VN but that hit-detection issue left me upset.
Hey there! The issue has been reported previously and we are looking into ways to fix it, but it seems to depend on the device the game is played on. On our end, we can't reproduce the behavior with our devices, but it's been reported enough times to where we can tell it needs to be fixed. Hopefully we can fix it by the release of v0.3.4.
Thank you so much for your reply, i will wait for the next update then. In the meantime, i guess i'll try to play the VN like how it is because i'm loving the story so far : )
Btw, when do you think the 0.3.4 update would come ?
Around the end of the month is what we're aiming for. Also, you can try to use the auto-play feature in the meantime. In the options menu you can adjust it quite thoroughly, with words-per-minute speed and delay sliders.
I may not be able support by paying but I play Identity, I've fallen in love with the art and the storyline really intrigues me. I can't wait to see what you guys do with more updates! My condolences to your team member who lost someone close to them, that's not an easy thing to go through for anyone positive thoughts, vibes and energy being sent their way.
That's alright, we appreciate the support regardless! We've been in development hell over the past few years and are now coming out of it, so we're trying to make sure the existing content conforms to our now fleshed out storyline plans. Hoping to finish that at the end of summer, afterwards we'll start expanding the story and character arcs again. Until then you can expect lots of edits, more organized visuals and qol updates.
We'll release v0.3.3 to the public soon and we'll have a progress update ready within the next couple days, so stay tuned for more info.
Hii! I have a small problem on android. The problem is about i only able to read it if the auto button is on. I can't go to the next dialogue with touching the screen. :/ It's frustrating, because i'm a bit slow reader.
By the way, i looking forward to read your vn too. ♡
Hey there! For some mobile devices, the game seems to be having difficulty understanding what makes up a touch vs a drag motion. There have only been a few complaints about this issue despite the game running with these input settings for a year to date.
We will look into the matter and try to fix it as we work on refactoring the framework code, but for now our advice to people having this problem is to try to make more accurate touches, or indeed use auto play. For the latter, in the options menu you can customize the reading speed to between 100 and 400 words per minute as well as the auto play delay (seconds of waiting after a text box finished unveiling). Hopefully that should be enough to help you for the time being.
It's coming soon! We just had to delay it for a week or so because of some very busy weeks IRL for some of us in the team, but we hope to get it out either by Sunday or Monday ^^

who is the snake on the cover art and the one elevator scene? Also spoiler:
Why does mc still stink if he fell in the pool?
Because he didnt bath there, falling on water would remove loose dirt but without scrubbing and/or running water dirt sticking to your skin(scales in this case) won't wash off, and well, about the smell, most of the time you will still stink even if you scrub under running water, if it has been long enough the stench sticks to you and to fight it off you will have to use some sort of hygiene product (like soap).

cool/gross😂
What happened to Brando? :')
Brymror good. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
is it normal if suddently the character dialog gone like it froze there but you can interact with the load file but cant save?
Do you have the specific line of dialogue before this issue occurs? That would help us a lot with identifying the bug.
it happen like this after the lady dragon incident. unknown.png (1050×582) (discordapp.com)
sorry i try to do image but it fail
so this is the best i can do
Yes, this issue has been fixed in v0.3.6. You are using v0.3.5. The newer version is currently patron-only, but will eventually be released to everybody.
so it not me only issue? so it just the built end? phew i was worry. thx so much
Some update this month?
Somehow I cant download the game onto itch.io. Whenever I try it says the following:
Any help? I would appreciate it, thanks!
Oh yeah I get that too-

Great game and great story! It would be nice to see more choices and scenes if you're top or bottom. In any case, I wish you good luck in development!
i need a little help on the game because it keep ending up on the left
Hey there! We're not sure we understand what you mean... could you be more specific?
when i try to start up the game and than it will end up on the left
Perhaps try pressing the F key? That will make the game fullscreen. By default it starts up as a 1920x1080 window, but for smaller screens it might get out of bounds a bit. We will look for a fix for this in the future.
can someone help me? it stuck in this part

i see, thanks i really though that was actually all of the game on this version
Hmmm...am I the only one who thinks that the griffin scene in the gym has been removed from the game?
Hey there! We don't have a griffin character, but we did have a feral black/white dragon named Draxima. Unfortunately, we have removed the character from the game. You can find more details about it in this post.

Wait, i played some time this game and i had only some scenes with Garreth, are there scenes with others?
been playing it and i really can say is wonderful! i like how the VN starts very intriguing and interesting and despite having time to rest and breathe it keeps alway with something intriguing or interesting happening, i can't wait to see more, too i can see there is a lot of work on the sountrack and art, the only think is that with the current version looks like i got a bug or error where music and sound arent working or reproducing, even tried to close and open the game again but instead of fix it now the whole game was stuck with only one song, it think it happened right after or when lucra entered inside the taxi and started to speak about mindalu, after that there music started to fail. still i ok with it i just commenting to try to give some feedback and wish you luck with the VN!
i cant wait to fuck Cedrik
Or him to fuck you?
Will Kovle continue as route as well or will the VN focus more in Brymror in the future updates?
Of course! We're not forgetting Kovle or the rest of the cast, but we're also taking things one step at a time. The next update will focus on adding new dates for Brym and Lucra. Also, if you haven't already, you can join our Discord server where you can ask us these questions more easily!
when i try to open the game it says that its damaged and i should move it to the trash.
(mac btw)

ah yes brym content
Really enjoyed the story until the end of what was written. I am really looking forward to the complete game. Amazing work!
oh I forgot about this game lol

That’s good to hear! I’ve always found the story interesting, but it was unfortunate that there wasn’t enough at the time…glad you guys are in better shape now!🐊
the story was great just so much time had elapsed between updates that this game had left my mind , very happy to see you guys soldier on !
I just started playing, and I must say, all the characters are great! Brym is a great character, and I just Draxima, (he's so sweet give me more of him please xD
Man I was looking for this for so long I lost it, this was so good so hyped I got it back, following!
Will there be a romantic branch with mindalu? The character seems interesting, but he was not given much time?
Hey! While Mindalu's past and reasoning for her actions will be given more attention across the story, she is only supposed to be the antagonist of the first chapter of the game. She's not a dateable or romantic interest to Yarin, although there is currently an explicit scene/ending you can unlock with her by making specific choices regarding your interactions with her throughout the first 4 days of the game.

I would pay for more updates but I'm broke. I really want more brymror story. Maybe some private time with him too. :3
That's alright, we appreciate the support regardless! We've been in development hell over the past few years and are now coming out of it, so we're trying to make sure the existing content conforms to our now fleshed out storyline plans.

Just played the public build and damn I got real invested :O
Hope to be able to support the patreon soon!
Hii! I have a small problem on android. The problem is about i only able to read it if the auto button is on. I can't go to the next dialogue with touching the screen. :/ It's frustrating, because i'm a bit slow reader.
By the way, i looking forward to read your vn too. ♡
Hey there! For some mobile devices, the game seems to be having difficulty understanding what makes up a touch vs a drag motion. There have only been a few complaints about this issue despite the game running with these input settings for a year to date.
We will look into the matter and try to fix it as we work on refactoring the framework code, but for now our advice to people having this problem is to try to make more accurate touches, or indeed use auto play. For the latter, in the options menu you can customize the reading speed to between 100 and 400 words per minute as well as the auto play delay (seconds of waiting after a text box finished unveiling). Hopefully that should be enough to help you for the time being.
Thank you for the reply! I gonna try it out. :)
I have the same problem in my Samsung tablet with Android 9.
I use to be able to continue reading with a fast double touch. If not I have to type several times to continue. I think all button work fine.
It is weird because that worked fine in the older version 3.01.
I'm not gonna lie... I'm waiting for more brymror stuffs. I always checks the update to see if brymror have some more content. XD
i have a small problem with the game not goin fullscreen for me. any way to fix this?
If you press F or F11, it should go fullscreen. It's marked in the controls layout. You can also find that option in the options menu under Display.
Oh man i love Brymror sooooooooo much, i need more of him so bad >∆<
Let's goooooo
Cant wait for the new update!!!
It's coming soon! We just had to delay it for a week or so because of some very busy weeks IRL for some of us in the team, but we hope to get it out either by Sunday or Monday ^^
