HII!

 So the game itself is! great job as always but it every time Morgen gets into that guy's room and he says you weren't supposed to see this, there is a butterfly loading screen. But at that exact time the game always crushes. 

I'm glad you like it :3 But damn, that sucks and it's really weird because I tested it on both the PC I made it on + on our family potato laptop and never got any crashes at all while trying all choices and paths in the game >.< and some of the other people on the team tested it too, and as far as know, they didn't encounter any crashes either, so I don't know what would be causing it to crash there at that point for you :( 

Were you playing the windows or the mac version? 

The load screen is there because it's loading the next scene at that point. On my PC, it only takes a second to load, but on the potato laptop, it takes around 15-20 seconds to complete the load, so it does look a little bit like the game has frozen even though it's just being slow on the potato, haha. Is it possible that maybe it's just taking a really long time to load on your computer as well? 

Also, if you avoid going to the room with the jars by either going right instead of left, or if you choose the option to ignore the scream and explore elsewhere, when you get to the next loading screen, does that successfully load to the next scene for you, or does it also crash there too? Because it's the same loading screen and loading the same scene, just different ways of getting there, but you'll reach that same load whichever choices you pick, so it would be even more weird if it only crashes in the jars room for you >.<

Sorry I can't be of more help :( Since I'm unlikely to be able to replicate it on my end, I'd probably have to send you a dev build and get your error logs to find out what's going on with it on your computer. 

Thank you for playing and for letting me know though :3

I was playing on the windows version. Sometimes it took too long to load, sometimes it freezed up and crashed, or it just crushed at that time lol. I'll try to play it today too.

Woah. There was no more crush. Guess it was about my computer and not the game. Anyways thanks for reaching out!

Hmm, I guess it must be something your computer doesn't like about the game if it also sometimes took a long time loading as well as freezing and crashing >.< 

It's still strange though because, like I said, I also tested on our family laptop which is a pretty old potato laptop, and it was fine on there. I expected it not to be able to run since it can't really run most games x3 I remember trying to load Hakuoki on it and it just freezes and crashes xD So I was surprised that my games play on it at all. 

I'm not a very tech savvy person, sadly >.< My best guess would be maybe your computer has low temporary memory or something, so it couldn't handle loading up the data for the next scene >.< But I don't know really :(

I don't mind sending you a dev build still though if you want me to try and get to the bottom of it :3 I've never done it before, but apparently, if I send you a dev build, when it crashes, your computer should spit out some logs with details about what caused the crash. I probably wouldn't be able to understand them myself without help, but I could post them in the naninovel support section. 

Just drop me an email (melancholicmarionette@gmail.com) if you do want me to send a dev build to you, and I'll just reply to the mail with a link to it in a Google drive folder or something :3

Hopefully, it just won't crash anymore for you though if it stopped and you got past that bit x3
