So hopefully the issue solved itself for those down below. (Not being able to start the game) If not then I'm not too sure but for me I've been able to start the game Playing on Windows 10 and I'm sure Windows 11 can start it as well Running this game through the Itch.Io Sandbox Launcher - Its an app for convenience of use for those who want to buy the game. Here is the link https://itch.io/app Once downloaded head into Preferences and check Sandbox Mode Hopefully this solves some issue although it might be a software issue on your end.
I think the issue is some antivirus such as avast block the game from reading some files like the saves for some reason. It can be solved by adding an exception.
this game looks really good but i cannot get it to start. ive seen a few comments saying the same for windows users. i understand the dev is ukrainian so probably on hold for a while but i would love a fix/ explination for this problem.

For those wondering where the updates are, just worth mentioning that the author mentioned having to flee their home after russia invaded ukraine. They have confirmed they are safe but it might be a while. This would also probably be an excellent time to throw the author some patron money if you like the game to assist with transitional costs.
Hope the author stays safe and in good conditions, I don't know if this is coincidental but every game I play has at least one developer from Ukraine or Russia which leads to them leaving the game development half-way through.
Yes Arbuz is safe now, and yeh there was a lot of slav doing gamedev and working online in general, since it pays more than local jobs. No idea how this will evolve sadly.
I recently downloaded the game, but every time I start it, I get the opening art with the name where it fades to sparks, but won't load any further, I can close it with the x at the top right of the screen, but I can't do anything else with it up, some help would be appreciated
I think the issue is some antivirus such as avast block the game from reading some files like the saves for some reason. It can be solved by adding an exception.
But ask for help on our discord if this doesn't work, so we can help you.

Hi, i wanted to try out the game but it wouldn't let me save, i saw a past comment on a another person with the problem and you linked the games site, but the only problem that the site has a fix for is if a firewall doesn't trust the game, but i didn't have any notifications for windows defender. Could you please help, thank you

Pretty good DA, all characters are good even if i don't like the way Verona and Lady Wolf treated us (I don't like being forced or toyed ^^" But it's ok, nothing too much)
I took a like on Hiho for her personnality and Isky (for the punishing part and the design of kobold)
The combat system is good and promising. I can see that all skills will have it's own tree. I would be glad to think of a build when the system would be completed.
Some things i must say. During my playthrough, i noticed that the codex has a notification that doesn't seems to be off, so i got the red dot all along, even after trying to read each pages.
I suppose it's normal but passed a point of the game, my level were decreased from 25-ish to 15 only on the MC and i couldn't gain any skill points anymore. Moreover, when i try to unlearn a kill, i don't get the point back. Seems like my save if doomed :(
Is it normal that some gallery scenes haven't any clues ? I unlocked them via patreon code and it seems they were the "sprite scene" after some scenes.
And lastly, perhaps a way to farm money ? I didn't find any good way (other than looting area)
Like said, I sub in patreon and i'll try to keep it. I like your game :D Good job and good luck for the next ! o/
Thank you! The codex notification should be fixed now, and we are adding an option to stab(!) LW in the prologue. You have good points, I'll look into the issues you mentioned.
Gotta say... This game blew away my expectations. In truth, as most did, I came here for the art and of course, for the horny... but to my surprise, the characters seem well-fleshed and the story seems interesting. I only got past the part where you find out the secret identity of a certain maiden so I can't say much for everything at the moment. I've played games like Baldur's gate, Tactics styled games and tabletop rpgs, so I'm always eager to put a new game to the test.
Regarding the comments of a few critics; I do think that the combat was a little confusing as well as the level-up system.
Like some have said, I was somewhat underwhelmed by how weak the MC felt at the start of it. For how much the other characters tout his ability with the sword, it felt like lip service, as he constantly needed to be carried by his teammates in order to win a battle.
However, the MC has something that gives him an edge and that makes him potentially stronger than the supporting characters. He can level up and invest points into passive and active skills.
I understand that overwhelming ability of the supporting characters may be as it is because the Dev may be planning to eventually, give level progression and point investment to the supporting characters. As their skills and progression probably haven't been decided or worked on yet, they were probably given a buff to prevent them from being deadweight as the MC got stronger. Regardless, battles would be boring if the MC was strong enough to beat the enemies himself.
Now, regarding the first NSFW scene with a certain female. Strangely, I was disappointed how quickly she wanted to sleep with the MC. I thought: oh great, a sex scene that had no premise and makes no sense as there was no tension or buildup that led to that point. But then when the identity of the female in question comes to light it all made sense. They say that food tastes even better when you are fed a bland of boring appetizer. In this case, the appetizer was a red hering and the main course was exquisite.
All in all, I see a lot of potential in this game/tale and boldly, I even daresay, that I would still play this game even if it did not have the horny, as the story is rather captivating.
One recommendation, I have would be to make the skip battle icon more discreet and out of the way as I had clicked on it one time, after a long time away from the intial startup of the game and I was disappointed that I had ended the battle in such a way. Honestly, I would like it better with it gone completely but I understand some people probably enjoy thay function.
This already looked like quite a good game, but this comment made me certain of it. I'll definitely be giving this a shot!
Having come right off of Divine Dawn (a huge recommendation if you haven't played it already and like good writing), I'm itching to play something again with just as much character depth and story intrigue.
Hello i can't complete the quest Involuntary Saviour, the saurian does not appear in my room when i get back to nathan's inn.
I gave the bandit fort to atlathka and had them help me resolve the hostage situation, i even tried replay it mutiple times and the saurian still does not appear in nathan's inn.
Cleared all content available for the free build as far as I can tell.
Positives: Amazing art. Likeable characters (grew fond of some that I initially wrote off). Gameplay loop is enjoyable. Fleshed out progression (for those who have skill choices at this time).
Negatives: Skill keywords don't seem to be defined anywhere (skill evolution gives +deadly. ok, but what does that do?). I would just recommend adding a keyword glossary to the Journal so players can quickly access that information without having to write keyword effects on every upgrade. Combat is really limited due to attacks costing so much AP with seemingly no way to increase AP at this time so you end up picking the two best attacks for every character and never deviating from that setup. There are dialogues that seem to skip flags (people talking to me like we've spoken before, but this was the first time I met them). I also spotted a few typos, but did not write down what lines they were on.
For those of you who want a number rating: 9/10 despite the issues I listed earlier. I can see this game being a massive success, and I have faith the issues I have brought up will be alleviated as development continues. Keep your eye on it. Looking forward to future updates. Samara is best girl, fight me.
Love the game so far, the art is AMAZING, the gameplay itself seems deep and complex compared to most adult games in existence. I'm still early in the game, but i am super excited, not just to complete the game as it stands, but also for it's future development. I wish the dialog had more choice, and let me define my own character, and his opinion of/tone towards other characters better, but it's not an actual problem, more of a preference.
I only have one actual problem with the game and it's a MAJOR problem... i don't know what anything does! Like at all! The game really doesn't explain anything to you as far as combat is concerned. While the UI design itself is fine it could do with skme more detailed explanations, a couple of popups, and an arrow or two to help new players get the lay of the land better.
Also a glossary of terms would be incredibly helpful for knowing what the hell an ability actually does, like what the hell is "lightweight" or "exhaust" and how does is differ from "disgaurd"? No where in the game are any of the keywords explained, nor is there even a wiki i can use to look it up. As awesome as the game is, this is IMO a HUGE turn off for new players who may stumble into the game, only to leave because they have no idea what's going on in the combat, or how to upgrade thier build.
I got past the prologue a little ways and I don't really want to keep playing at this point the combat is confusing and never explained the RPG progression is similarly hard to grasp (primarily due to the unexplained combat) the RP of RPG is more shallow than fallout 4 the characters (at least in the early parts) act kinda dumb and the mc is played up as some master swordsmen even though their companion(s) are more effective in combat
on top of all that you get raped not you lightly protest or anything you are pinned to the ground with mutch protest and raped
download this if your wanting to play a horny visual novel with some interactive elements poorly explained TB combat and occasional offputting themes
6/10 dialog is (mostly) well written and the art (not just the horny parts) is fucking amazing
I reread my comment and decided that it felt kinda harsh so I wanted to clarify this is how the game is now I fully expect most of these problems to at the very least improve significantly though I don't see the role-playing aspects getting better as this is simply not a role-playing game it has some of those elements but at its core it's not one
Meh. I didn't get far. I didn't like that first gal from the start. I was gonna ignore any attempts at the nsfw with her.... only nope. Couldn't even skip it.
Tried downloading the link https://teamdeaddeer.itch.io/priceforfreedom#download and the game updated today. Attempted a complete delete and reinstall. Still having the same issue that has been mentioned before of it asks to enabling patreon content and when I click no, it becomes stuck on a long picture and will not advance.

Yes Arbuz is safe now, and yeh there was a lot of slav doing gamedev and working online in general, since it pays more than local jobs. No idea how this will evolve sadly.
Thank you for the support!
I'm just glad to hear Arbuz is safe.
plz do android🙏
We plan to but only once we are satisfied with the game on desktop, to not spread ourselves too thin.
Is it ever getting an android release?
Yes it will but we want to polish the game a little more first.
Does it work for 32 bit?
Yes, there is a Windows 32 bit version here.
Are they still updating in Patreon?
Yep, it took a while but the build 25 is finally out.
I recently downloaded the game, but every time I start it, I get the opening art with the name where it fades to sparks, but won't load any further, I can close it with the x at the top right of the screen, but I can't do anything else with it up, some help would be appreciated
same here,. havent found a fix

我也认为
We might add some machine translation as placeholder before getting a proper one.
42 hours and i just reached the end of content.

Yes that's the plan once it's all done.

I downloaded the windows build but it doesn't seem to work. does this mean i have to become a patreon member or what before the game comes
How tf i can save my progress?
Cant get any audio working, regardless of full download or launcher, on windows.
Audio's turned off by default, uncheck "mute sounds" in the settings.
Cleared all content available for the free build as far as I can tell.

i feel kinda stupid abt this but where is key for ancient door i cannot find :(
If you're talking about the first dungeon, don't worry, I literally had to look up a walkthrough for thew game to be able to find it, lol.
But the walkthrough is great, has helped me in a couple situations I haven't spotted something:
https://priceforfreedom.net/avarice/walkthrough/terri
game looks good cant complain there hope its as good as it sounds
Good game, could use a better explanation instead of throwing you off a cliff and expecting you to fly

Is an Android version ever going to come out?
The Audio is not working for me (Downloaded the windows edition)
where's for Android :(
i cant really find new perswona who have quests for new =/
Check the walkthrough if you are stuck.
Mine has no audio.
Are you playing on windows? Or the browser version here?
Meh. I didn't get far. I didn't like that first gal from the start. I was gonna ignore any attempts at the nsfw with her.... only nope. Couldn't even skip it.
You can skip the prologue when creating a new game, and yes we plan to make this scene avoidable in the future.

Does the update stays at 0%?
It downloaded all they way and restarted them game like it was supposed to.
Could you zip and send me your saves folder? C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\LocalLow\TeamDeadDeer\PriceForFreedom?
Send it at teamdeaddeer@gmail.com
You should have it shortly
a combat tutorial would have been nice
We will add one once the combat is more polished.
