Hi! I found this on twitter and thought I'd check it out. Just wanted to let you know, the apks don't work. Tried on two devices and once you select the language (English) it crashes out and won't open again.

Edit: tried on both android 12 and 13

I tested the Android build on my phone and it does work. I mentioned it here already, but it's a common problem that the game will close itself down after selecting your language. I was able to play the whole VN from start to finish without any problems other than that.

I may have had a bad install. Removed it, redownloaded it and reinstalled it. It crashed again but this time opened up the second time of loading.

I also got the PC version working on Joiplay so it wasn't a problem in the end. Only a little way through but loving it so far!

I've talked to a couple of other Ren'py devs, and they told me they also had problems with their games not launching/shutting down randomly when played on Android. I think this might be a common-ish problem with .apks built in Ren'py, but I'm not 100% sure. The issue could also be that the VN isn't optimised very well for Android, which admittedy was a bit of an afterthought.

In any event, I'm glad you were able to get it working!
