Hello! The engine that was used to make the game isn't supported anymore and I can't edit the game in any way. I can't fix stuff or add new languages. So maybe let's translate the next game?
I'm having an issue where I load the game and it's just frozen, the music is playing but no movement, nothing in the dialogue box and I'm not able to click anything :( Even pressing 'esc' doesn't prompt to exit the game, just does nothing. So I have to start over every time :(
Hello please check if your PC meet minimal requirements. This game use animation and more demanding than most visual novels.
ОS: Windows 8/10 Proc: Intel Core 2Duo @ 2.13GHz Memory: 4 GB Video: Intel HD Graphics, NVIDIA 600 Series, AMD 7000 Series Disc space: 1000 MB
If possible install the game on different computer. Please make sure the drivers are updated to the latest version and you use at leas 10 or 11 DirectX
Okay so my laptop did meet requirements, but I was able to work around the issues I was experiencing by uninstalling and reinstalling the game! I'm not sure what happened but it seemed to fix it :)
Now I'm wondering if there's anywhere I can find the music that's playing in the druid cave? I LOVE it and find it so relaxing and I'd love to play it outside of the game if possible :) <3
Wow the quality of this game is awesome and the characters have a lot of depth, I love both boys so much (even though I was high-key thirsting for the inquisitor the entire game) and I love how different but likable they both are <3
Hi there! I just downloaded your game on Mac. However, when I try to open it, it just says the application can't be opened >.<.
I tried right-clicking the application for the game to show contents, and then executing it via the nwjs file, but that doesn't work either, just shows a bunch of code..... *_* I hope you can help, Xand.
Good day! Are you launching the "GAME" file from the game folder? If so, can you please go to "System Preferences - Security&Privacy" and check if in the "Allows apps downloaded from" category "Appstore and identified developers" is selected.
the artstyle is SO CUTE! normally when people do the "arm swing up" type of animation it looks...odd and very cringey, like it just...i drives the point that these are drawings of people. but this HONESTLY MAKES IT FEEL LIKE REAL PEOPLE, NOT DRAWINGS. i mean, yes, it's CLEARLY DRAWN, but it's like the drawings HAVE BEEN BROUGHT INTO THE REAL WORLD, they have this..tangible feel, like if i so chose, I could reach out and actually touch Malseth or Shanrae, and I love that so much,
on a less glowingly positive note, it's not very...romance heavy like most otomes, but hey, the art is great, the music incredible, and besides, who doesn't like some r18 scenes, ey? ;P
Hey there! Gotta say I really love the art and aesthetic of this game. The mystery and magic was really cool!
I just wanted to add some things because I really cared about this game more than I realized. I really am not the biggest fan of leaving constructive criticism because I think sometimes people are too harsh or it puts the creator down but I wanted to leave some because I genuinely love your work. In terms of graphics and user interface, I was blown away .Characters were very good looking and the story premise was great! I just somehow felt that halfway through, I was simply confused with the story. I was intrigued with the mystery but I realized with the plot wrapping up in my first playthrough that the captivating mystery had morphed into not me not ever really knowing where the plot was going anymore. I think the mystery fell a little flat in an anticlimatic way, like reveal was a bit dulled because of the plot twist. And the story never really delved too deep into how far it could go. The premise/worldbuilding was fleshed out so much for it! I just felt as if it never got too deep and the game kind of throws a lot of information at you to the point of confusion. I understood the plot twist and the gist of some things but I never truly understood what happened with the clues and things that the MC explained to the boys and stuff, and also didn't understand the 'backstory' completely, but maybe that was failure on my part. To add to it, the romance detracted a little because something important/serious would happen in the plot and just as I'm trying to understand it, there's be romance scenes that felt just kind of placed in. I guess I'm saying the timing of the romance confused me and detracted me from understanding the plot sometimes.
I really don't want anything I say to come off as rude or harsh, it's 100% one person's opinion I just think it would really be awesome to get deeper in the plot. I really loved everything else besides that, the plot at first, art, music, and characters had me hooked. I would love to see more mystery and/or crime from you, I liked the idea of finding clues or unraveling a plot with a bunch of cute boys around lol!
Hello! Thank you for the constructive feedback! Yes, some people liked the plot and some did not understood what's going on and some disliked the plot. Our guess - we didn't had enough time to flesh out all the ideas more closely.
We will try to evade this failure in the next game.
Hello I just wanted to say that I love your game and its art is gorgeous and the way the characters move charm me and I keep staring at them. The mystery and + 18 content is a nice plus. Great job with this game! I hope to see more from you.
I am kinda late to the party and Aromie's let's play is already awesome but I am gonna try my luck out and say that I did a let's play of the game too ^^ I hope you check it out, thanks a lot for letting me experience this game!
Hey~ It's never too late for the the kind words and videos :3 I love your voice! Oh yes I'm planning to update my social media and introduce new project soon!
I enjoyed the demo but got many crashes because of the whole RAM situation. Many people have this issue and I feel that if you guys added the option of turning animations on and off, many of us could play the game.
Hello! Sadly, We can't disable the animation. If we do this, the characters will be emotionless one pose poker face static sprites and this will add bugs and crashes because engine will search for animation files. Disabling animation - mean we will need to create the game one more time + drawing all the emotions and poses + alter all the backgrounds. I suggest you to watch YouTube series by marvelous Aromie with the game "let's play" https://www.youtube.com/user/SweetAromie
I'm generally a bit suspicious when it comes to games, especially visual novels, but this game proved me wrong. I really enjoyed it and the plot was more engaging than I expected, when I thought that it was all beginning to wrap up nicely with just a few more questions the plot twist took me entirely by surprise. In hindsight there were lots of clues that hinted towards it which is a sign of good storytelling.
The realtively short timeframe is a bit of a downside but the relationships still don't feel too rushed and it's nice to see that Riilai was still a professional despite the temptations and that she didn't let herself be pushed around when others didn't share her opinion. I liked both guys, they had their unique personalities and while Shanrae was my favourite I want Seth's cat so bad, his design was amazing :D
The game is simply beautiful, the cgs were gorgeus, and while I at first was a bit sceptical of the live 2D it quickly grew on me and now I love it. Especially Riilai's expressions, like the happy and sparkly one was adorable :D
The writing was great overall and the inspections and puzzles you get to do was an interesting idea, searching for clues and puzzling things together was fun. I had no problems with the game either, I could't play the demo without it crashing but as soon as I installed the full game it played smoothly.
So in conclusion, a great game that I can see myself replaying in the future. Have a great day!
Great thank you for the kind words! Our narrator got inspired with your words and run to script a new plot twists for our next game. I thank you for that :3
Hi every time after the scene where Riilai tells her theories to all parties and Riilai exits the police station, this always happens...everything is zoomed in and no text shows up. I've tried starting new games and it's just impossible. The game is simply unplayable and I can't finish a route!
Hello! We are greatly sorry but this issue happens on Win 7. We were trying to fix this for a month but it seems it's beyond our humble capabilities. You can try to skip this particular moment or refund the game and try to play on YouTube. Sorry again. T_T
I have exactly the same problem, and I have Windows 10.
Skipping is useless. I tried, and ALL the following scenes (except the "generic" ones - ex., when Riilai meditates in her bed chamber) are like that: zoomed, unreadable and unplayable.
Hmm that's something new. Could you please tell us if your Windows 64 or 32? Can you please update your drivers, Java\DirectX\Graphical drivers. Please write us if anything will help.
I'm sorry it's really hard to understand what cause such a bug. We still don't have a clue what it might be. Some computers just don't want to play our game well. I hope you will be able to refund the game. Please do so, don't torture yourself. There are plenty of let's play videos on YouTube you can watch :) For the next game we bought another engine. Stable and with great support with a big portfolio. I hope our next game will be much more stable.
Hi, Im sorry to bother you here, but Im having some performance problems both via itch and on Steam. Dont know if Im the only one, but the text comes slow and the things you have to interact with takes several clicks to work. Sometimes the game “freezes” with only the characters moving. Any ideas for me so I can finish your otherwise great game?
Hello! Seems like not enough ram memory. I suggest closing all the applications except windows/MacOS and run the game only. If you use windows 7 than I suggest run the game on another PC with win 8 or higher. Also there are might be another pc problems. May be cleaning pc or antivirus programs will help to solve the problem.
I wish you best of luck! If anything will help please tell me, if nothing will help also please tell me, and we will try to find the solution.
I am using the Mac version and wonder whether you are going to release the Mac version on Steam? I would like to add it to my library there but the Steam version is Windows-only.
Hello! I'm waiting for my programmer to fix few last issues that appears sometimes and wanted to add the MacOS version along with the fixes. But he got stuck with the exams. I hope soon he will be back with the fresh fixes.
Hi there your game is lovely I was wondering I could stream it on my channel? I'm sure my viewers would love it too :) Either way thanks for the wonderful game.
Thank you for the kind words! Please wait with stream until the Steam release and after this feel free to stream it! You also might want to wait for English text fixes and upload a fixed version here. I will be glad if you won’t spoil the full game in a first week of steam release :3

When you mention a "convincing romance storyline" underneath the Mature Narrative section, does this mean that there will be explicit content?
Yes. You can use a censored version but still, text remains.

Can you tell me your version of Mac OS?
I'm using the High Sierra and everything is fine for me.
Xand,
I'm using the newest version of Catalina 10.15.2, I think. ^^`
Happy new year, by the way. Wishing you and your team a great year ahead! ^O^
Thanks a lot! I'm sorry for the late reply, try to move game folder to your "Application" folder pls.

Hmm that's something new. Could you please tell us if your Windows 64 or 32? Can you please update your drivers, Java\DirectX\Graphical drivers.
Please write us if anything will help.
It's Windows 64. Java, DirectX e Graphical drivers are fully updated, but no cigar.
Maybe I should play a brand new game from the start. However, I'm not patient enough for that.
Oh, well...
I'm sorry it's really hard to understand what cause such a bug. We still don't have a clue what it might be. Some computers just don't want to play our game well.

Can you change the name of the protagonist?
Hello! No you can’t. Perhaps in future games I will add this feature.
Is there a Back function? Or a History/Log? Can you please provide a list of keybindings? Thanks.
Hello.
Yes all the game options and functions can be found on message box right side diamonds. But if you want to use the keyboard we got this:
Space - next message
H - hide/show interface
Ctrl - skip text
Backspace - backlog
Esc - exit to desktop

Hi there again! Do you already know when the Steam keys will be ready? :D
Hello, the game was released on Steam if this what you asking for :)
Thank you for the quick answer!
I found the steam key now! (it was on the page where I can download the game I bought) Edit: My Library > Download Love Ritual > Claim Steam Key
Thank you for the wonderful game! (I absolutely LOVE the art)
:-)
Thank you for the kind words :3
