This game has potential, but it has some pretty big flaws. Story and Combat are big ones, but I feel that story is more important in the long run. The biggest problem is there is basically no pacing or real world building. its hard to get invested in the characters when the world and threat that is being faced has little development outside what is important for the character specifically. Just a little bit of non important world building would really help make the world feal more real and the quest more important. Pacing is another problem as you go from a cruel but mistaken mage that shows how in danger the town is, to not long after finding yourself in the middle of enemy lands with little build up. outside of these, there are other issues too, but they arent as important.
Hope you don't mind that I looked at your profile. You seem like a smart guy. and I totally agree with your complains, that's why.
Well, I see you are pretty new. Are you interested in other (gay) visual novels? You propably already know about a bunch anyway, but do you know like 50? ;)
Needs more content each update takes way to long and the amount of content doesn't match the time it takes for a new update it feels like a black gate situation while I'll say there more content per update in this then black gate (and that's not saying much) there needs to be more. In all honesty I think you should drop the fighting mechanics all together if that's where your attentions is cause the days are way to short and rushed it's hard to feel a connection to the characters when there's so little content
with the newest version, every time after I finish the first battle, the game goes to a Juleon loading screen. The bar fills up and nothing happens. Clicking and pressing space and enter doesn’t work. Also the saving system is really really inconvenient especially if you’re trying to run multiple routes at once.
Honestly the game feels really shaky in terms of quality. The art is great, but the UI design and overall mechanics feel like low quality. Its really easy to make the game bug out, and the UI system is a maze all on its own sometimes. The conversation system, atleast thats what I assume it is seems super out of place in how its used. I was in the middle of being "killed" and I pressed a flashing beer mug next to my screen ands suddenly we were all drinking and talking, like. IDK this game just feels so unfinished.
I like the game but i have issues with the saving for example scrolling through 20 pages of save file too find where you left off from the previous build it can be a real headache going to your last save.
In order to be on steam, it has to meet some requirements that would put restrictions on what this game can show and do. It would likely end up being another NekoJishi situation where the game IS on steam but the steam version is heavily revised and all NSFW content is completely removed, the story re-written slightly so as to keep it "appropriate"
I beg to differ, ElevatorVibes, since Steam does support NSFW content now as I have seen on the FREE Game "Blood and Lust" which included a NSFW Scene on the path I was playing through it.
Also you can now chose in the Preferences in Steam whether or not you want to include Games, that Show Adult Erotic/Sexual Content or not.
So, I think this should be no problem, unless other requirements prevent Game Developers from uploading their Games there (would be interesting to know which ones that might be then?).
Cheers and enjoy the cool Games on here and Steam.
Loved the game , loved the character styles and personalitie and the battle system is fun. But something that annoyed me is that the "save" button only autosaves... i wish there was a way to overwrite save files so i don't have to scroll around tons of save data to find the one i want. And if there is a way already, my bad, just please teach me how :).
I hope you'll soon add an identity to the player character, so that he's not just a heart icon in combat. On top of that it'll open up the possibility of adding more art, so far it's all VN portraits. Trust a thirsty guy when he says more saucy stuff will help you with getting more support.
The game was apparently uploaded 7 months ago, makes me wonder how long it'll take for you to complete it, given how far I could go with the paid version... I mean I haven't gotten to seeing anyone hard yet and a lot of NPCs don't have an appearance.
Greetings. Recently purchased but I had no idea the game would be as in-depth as it is. Would love to support more financially now that I've caught up to where you are in development. This project is wonderful!
It would be really cool to have almost like a character creation system. In the begining when i was following the rein route i thought there was one because the player picked up the carved statue and i thought the game was gunna "ask" the player what to look like. And if the player were to say or think something, a small sprite of the players head would appear next to the text box and show various emotion. Would be cool and maybe add more complexity to the story by showing, as what the sims call it, woohoo scenes that actually have the player in it.
Hello, I'm really enjoying the game so far and can't wait for more. I bought it 2 months ago and have been playing it fine until today. It puts me into the demo and I can't access the regular game at all. I uninstalled but it only gives me the option to download the demo. Not sure where to go from there lol. Thank you.
Edit: Fixed it by visiting itchio website and downloading the zip instead playing it from the itchio app.
Hello FoxBytez, I wanted to inform you that I've downloaded your recent update (android) and it won't let me get pass de class selection. I've already installed and unistalled the game many times but it won't let me get pass that point. I have also erased everything and re-download it again many times. I would appreciate if you could help me out. I really want to play your game and give all the support that I can give you also from want I could play, the game is beautiful and full of potential. Thank you for dedicating your time in reading this. I wish the best of luck in all your proyects.
Hey, I'm looking into this. Is it if you choose any class? Are you using the start new game without tutorial button or the original start game button? Did it work previously (prior to this update were you able to get past this point).
It happens with any class, i'm using the start new game without tutorial button. And from the previous update, I couldn't get pass the 2nd fighting scene. It just didn't load.
Edit: So today I had the chance to play the game with the tutorial and it works. I can pick a class and fight, so if anyone has a problem with that, just re-do your game by playing from the begining but without skipping the tutorial.
I have this game on Android. I died at the first fight against 2 enemies, then the save button got pressed on accident and lost all my progress and had to start over. I was just planning on rolling with autosaves but it seems that got overwritten on the you died screen. Maybe dont make it an option to save after a fight starts? The buttons are really small, the tip of my thumb is the size of two of them.
I like the game so far and I'll probably just restart it at some point. Kinda wish the rein NSFW scene was drawn out though :3
Im not trying to be a dick but why are these updates so small there less than 2 minutes of content per update and get nowhere there should be like 5x more than this i really like this vn but these updates are too little and slow for the amount of writing that get put into each update
Typically, once you've bought a game, you can just log into your account and go to the game's download page without paying. The latest version should be there.

Your profile doesn't tell much...
I'm using Itch.io
but Mac update itsn't working(still 14.0.0 ver)
Hey, what do you mean it's not working?
still there's no 'Update' ico
The Mac update isnt working whatsoever
Hey, what version are you running. 15.0.0 or 15.0.4?
15.0.4, my mac says "the application '15.0.4" can't be opened." and thats literally it.
Mine too! 15.0.4 can not be opened
What MacOS Version are you running?
MacOS 10.15 and newer don't support 32-Bit-Libraries anymore.
Maybe the Devs might need to take that into consideration when "baking" the MacOS Version in Unity.
Cheers and hope it gets fixed.
I was patron, but the slow pacing story for each route every couple month is...
I think it's a pity that the developer stopped releasing public updates...
Well, it's only kind of true. After all not many people would like supporting as much as with'em.
I was patron, but stopped being one, after a while, when I realized only one route receives an update per month.
Needs more content each update takes way to long and the amount of content doesn't match the time it takes for a new update it feels like a black gate situation while I'll say there more content per update in this then black gate (and that's not saying much) there needs to be more.

is there a free to play version? I find this game absolutely beautiful.
Sadly I can't buy it
This update won't open
I like the game but i have issues with the saving for example scrolling through 20 pages of save file too find where you left off from the previous build it can be a real headache going to your last save.
Will definitely buy if i ever see it on steam. Cool game from the looks of the demo
yeah I wold love to see this on steam as well. along with a lot of other games on here.

Ah I see. TY for the clarification.

And if there is a way already, my bad, just please teach me how :).
Or a button to find the log of the conversations... didn't find it too...
Is there any way to buy this game besides using a paypal account or credit card? I would love to download this if we have those things..
Curious: it tells me new chat options are at the pub yet, all I get is bye. Did I do something wrong?
will the full game be available to play for free for android?
Um I'm having playing in general like I start a new game get to the tutorial part then after the crazy flower guy appears it just crashes pls explain?
I really want to see more of grizz. And hope for real sex scenes, not black screens.
Also I would like to see the option to create our own custom character(the player).
Hi. What should I do? At day 9, a text message disappears with a Grezz conversation and nothing else happens.
Looking alright so far.
I hope you'll soon add an identity to the player character, so that he's not just a heart icon in combat. On top of that it'll open up the possibility of adding more art, so far it's all VN portraits. Trust a thirsty guy when he says more saucy stuff will help you with getting more support.

Hello, if I buy the game, do I have access to the future update or will I have to pay again to get them?
U have access to future updates
so we waited a month for 2mb of content.... Are you becoming blackgate
Add sex mini game where u actually have to stroke and touch one of them in special places to get them aroused and make them cum.
When's the next update I'm hanging on a cliffhanger
Greetings. Recently purchased but I had no idea the game would be as in-depth as it is. Would love to support more financially now that I've caught up to where you are in development. This project is wonderful!
Edit: I subscribed to your Patreon ❤️
It's NOT Pat or Paul...
What type of bear is he?

Hey, you mean it won't go past picking a class (lovemancer, ECT...) a bit into the game?
Yes. Once I pick the class and the screen goes to load to prepare for the fight. It won't load, it just crashes. Thank you for answering.
Hey, I'm looking into this. Is it if you choose any class? Are you using the start new game without tutorial button or the original start game button? Did it work previously (prior to this update were you able to get past this point).
It happens with any class, i'm using the start new game without tutorial button. And from the previous update, I couldn't get pass the 2nd fighting scene. It just didn't load.
Edit: So today I had the chance to play the game with the tutorial and it works. I can pick a class and fight, so if anyone has a problem with that, just re-do your game by playing from the begining but without skipping the tutorial.
P.S. It works with every class.

I agree. He's my current favorite, but I do love Gear's personality.
Can someone tell me where the location of the save files are?
Android wont go past the tutorial
Every time I load a saved game it crashes. Help?
for some reason I can't play the game. When I am in the tutorials I am stuck in the combat scene and the top of the screen seems glitched.
Im not trying to be a dick but why are these updates so small there less than 2 minutes of content per update and get nowhere there should be like 5x more than this i really like this vn but these updates are too little and slow for the amount of writing that get put into each update
If I bought version 8.0 but now 9.0 is out, do I have to pay another $5 to see the new update?
Typically, once you've bought a game, you can just log into your account and go to the game's download page without paying. The latest version should be there.
Does the game include NSFW content?
