so guys the last time i played this game was before richard route got added (i think?)... i know atleast all the basic routes were done...and now im coming back to finally try dwayne and richard routes. pretty confused about how kitchen works..do i have to replay everything to unlock the content thats suppose to be there?
Yes, you do. When you were playing, there were no variables in the game that opened access to the Kitchen content. Now they are there and they need to be triggered. But there is a high probability that you will not be able to do this using your old save files. With the implementation of two new routes and massive changes in the beginning of the game (day 3), the old saves have been broken and may not load or will work incorrectly. You should replay the old routes again.
I have been really enjoying this vn so far I have noticed something, during my playthrough of dozars route, two images arn't loading, garden2 and resturant_garden, and is just a black screen with the characters in front of it. I thought to mention it here, but so far I really love the vn and will be looking forward to what alse you will do.
You used to get a message about nobody liking you, and the game would start over, bahaha. It's not like that anymore, and you end up on a route no matter what happens.
spencer and the Canon events gave me a rather bland taste since choices just gives different dialog even the event with the 'stabby woman' you're still going to get her to jail even if you slammed your fist on the screen wanting to see what other possibilities happen
I really love the care put in the stories. My personal favorite is Chester, I feel like I definitely would get along so well with him, plus he's pretty complex so that's a bonus.
Although MC keeps ruining the mood with his over horniness, I don't really let that stop me from really enjoying the story.
If all characters are as deep as Chester, though, then this game really is amazing and I praise the work put into it!
Whew, yeah updating on android was an interesting process. As of android 11 (and even more so in 13) file browsing software can't read/write files in the android/data folder, which is where the saves are located. Luckily I got around this by turning on USB debugging and plugging the phone into a computer, then using the computer's file browser to move stuff around.
Interestingly (or possibly intentionally) the new version installed as a completely new app for me (the old one was "EA" the new one is "ExcA") which kept my save files in place making this process a little easier.
Found the old saves in Android/Data/android.build and moved them to their new home in Android/Data/extracurricular.activities.
When I launched the new version of the game my saves were there, but unlockables (extras, the alternate title screen, etc.) were not there. It looks like loading my old saves unlocks them, which is easy enough to do The only thing that doesn't seem to have transferred over is what dialogue I have "read" before, so I can't skip though seen dialogue.
The music library is not available for the public. I don't want to be toxic, but your problem has a lot of solutions. I will not give you specific recommendations, try to come to it by yourself ;)
PS. btw i was in the same spot a year ago when i wanted to add end credits music to my library on the phone to listen to it when i am in a sad mood. That one and the attempt to get a night view on CrestHaven from Coach route in good resolution to place it like wallpaper on my pc. It's funny what in the end it led me to.
I have commented on this before but felt the need to show the love again. These past several years have been so bad for me. I have been super low so many times. When I was at my lowest and had a literal plan on ending it, I stumbled onto this Novel. I just so happened to do Coaches route first. I don't think I've ever read or experienced anything like how his story made me feel. He literally saved my life, or you saved my life. I have been low many times since then and everytime I get down I always know where to find coach. I know most people will only see these novels as a cute story or as a sexual fantasy, but this is so real for me. I just want to thank the creator for writing it and involuntary saving someone who was on the literal edge. I guess if I had a question, I would be.....is this really the end of Coach Grifters story, or is there any chance of more?
The answer used to be no, I suppose. I think Dyne planned to add 35 days for each route and an epilogue. But now in Twitter and Telegram we see the announcement of a special episode with Spencer and Azaghal. In my opinion, the chance of extra days/special episodes/alternative stories was 0.01% and now its 99.99%. But I suppose it can be an extra extra content and will be only available for the patreon supporters. Like you, I also want more content with Papa Bear. It will always be not enough of him for me.
Hey, thank you so much for taking the time out to leave this comment for me to read. It really makes me glad to know that the project has helped you so much like that, and it just adds so much more fulfillment to what I do.
As it stands right now, Harold's route is done. There is more content to come that involves him, but his overall story is finished.
Some characters have problems with this scene. I don't remember which ones exactly, but Harold is definitely not one of them. His item appears on the table correctly when you are completing his route with the best ending. I assume you did not finish his route on the best ending, and just got a neutral/good ending.
Can someone explain to me what does the hotspot indicator do in the game? I tried finishing a route without it and another route with it, nothing happened or changed
This option is available for some scenes after the implementation of this feature. It show where you can click in interactive scenes. This feature has not yet been implemented for all old scenes.
Since you have already read this vn, then you are definitely not talking about Darius. Most likely you are talking about demon looking cameo character Archibald from another game See no Evil by CaptainGerBear. And like the rest cameo characters, they are not dateable.
I'm in love with this visual novel. I have been playing since summer of 2020 and never missed an update. I especially love that the characters don't remain miserable and alone if you pick another route, but find happiness regardless. To me this says that they don't need you to be happy, that there is someone for everyone. But given the chance, they will choose you. Not out of necessity, but because they actually like you.
Absolutely my favorite VN! I've replayed Darius' route 3 times now, just to re-read everything. Spencer and Coach have gotten the same treatment. I love the story, the tension, the romance... Everything is well-paced and well-written. The characters are believable and have clear motivations for what they do. I just had to leave a comment for this one; I'm aspiring to write a VN myself and I hope I'm even half as good as this.
hey, was wondering if you guys have ever thought about making a discord server for your community? i highly recommend it, ive made some good friends from VN scene on discord
My god, I thought my favorite route was Spencer but then Darius pops out 😭😭
I can´t be more in love with that lion, I'm excited about what will happen in the epilogue, and thanks WolfBite for making a game this loving, I can´t believe i´ve been playing this for 2 years now 😭
Hey I noticed that on Spencer's route after day 10 (I think) the character expressions don't change and I'm sure it changed before so I don't know if something is wrong I really loved their silly expressions. Was it made like that or is just my game glitched?
It's not a bug. I don't know if it was intended or if it is just WIP, but Spencer really doesn't have many face emotions from that point. Who knows, maybe it will be added in the future with some route polishing and a new ending for this character, or maybe this is how the author conveys the secrecy of Spencer's nature ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
After day 30 the expressions are pretty much back like they used to be in the start
I really hope that the author will add the expressions to this route I think it makes the game more lively and natural but do you know if something like that happens in other routes?
I am diving deep into Harold's route and trying to notice these moments. But I just started getting acquainted with RenPy and coding in general. And with a poor knowledge in English and programming and with a lack of free time, it is difficult to browse through someone else's code. But I try my best to collect data at least for Papa Bear from beginning to the end credits. Only with the effort of the entire community this can be fixed. And I believe that someday it will happen. It's just not a high priority for Dyne to pay attention to right now.
Yeah that would be great and it's easier to know what the character thinks about the option but I'll hope that they will add the facial expressions when the author finishes the routes
This question may have been asked before so I'm sorry I just finished Chester's route and it said he would have an "Extra Day" is every character eventually going to get an Extra Day? or just Harold and Spencer?
This was so amazing and fun! I did the Harold route and it was really awesome. I wish there was a scene between the MC, Harold, and Richard since it was heavily hinted at. At least I can use my imagination though!

if all else fails: just skip choices until you end a route
There is truth in it that the writer brings some of his own into some of the characters?happy holidays
I have been really enjoying this vn so far I have noticed something, during my playthrough of dozars route, two images arn't loading, garden2 and resturant_garden, and is just a black screen with the characters in front of it. I thought to mention it here, but so far I really love the vn and will be looking forward to what alse you will do.
Quick question is there a choice to reject all of the following characters or is it a Canon event?
You used to get a message about nobody liking you, and the game would start over, bahaha. It's not like that anymore, and you end up on a route no matter what happens.
spencer and the Canon events gave me a rather bland taste since choices just gives different dialog even the event with the 'stabby woman' you're still going to get her to jail even if you slammed your fist on the screen wanting to see what other possibilities happen
Question ⁉️ Is that Novel for coach complete or still pending coz I got really addicted to the story and want to complete it.
Imho, the Coach's route need some polishing, but it is completed. All 35 days, 3 endings and an epilogue are present in the game.
i think they meant Harolds book "The Stone" (iirc atleast...) which im also really curious to read in its entirety if its completed lol
I really love the care put in the stories. My personal favorite is Chester, I feel like I definitely would get along so well with him, plus he's pretty complex so that's a bonus.

"If all characters are as deep as Chester". Dude, you can't even IMAGINE how true you are. You will be mindblown.
I WAS SO NOT READY FOR ZEE BAGUETTE CG!!! 🤣
Zee sir made me drop my croissant!

Hope this helps anyone else on Android too!
Does anyone know how to transfer the save file into the new update ?
android build keeps crushing
look at this funny spelling error on richards route
can someone tell me how to download the musics of the game, i need to know how to do it to have them as a ringtone

why won't it show anything for harold after you finish his route on extra
Some characters have problems with this scene. I don't remember which ones exactly, but Harold is definitely not one of them.

Who is the attractive lion looking character in the character sprite pic??? Is he datable????
This whole vn is just gorgeous. I love it!!!❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨
Since you have already read this vn, then you are definitely not talking about Darius. Most likely you are talking about demon looking cameo character Archibald from another game See no Evil by CaptainGerBear. And like the rest cameo characters, they are not dateable.
Aaw but he looks cool!!💔💔
Oh well!! Thanks for letting me know!!
I'll have to check out See No Evil! Looks interesting enough
I liked the Easter egg: 1-800-273-8255! ) This is great! Thank you for your work. Looking forward to the continuation😉🐻
I love this game so much. But also kinda salty that Spencer get to pull the Azaghal's route and i can't.
How do I pull the Azaghal route?
you can't.
which guy does the most with musk?
propably dozer - the alligator one, but chester allows you to borrow his underwear
Chester 100%, Dozer is musky but Chester wore the same dirty underwear for days just for me
Chester is adorable. I was so sad when his route finished. I still am! 😭
🥺same
I hate his bloody route to replay the most because it has the same effect of knowing when yer gonna die. Like I cannot know when life will end
same

Darius bro 🥰🗣️🗣️
Gosh, Richard is just so.... perfect! ☺️ his accent, his dad-bod, his domineering nature, his caring side [squeals in fanboy] 😍
yep 🥴

hey, was wondering if you guys have ever thought about making a discord server for your community? i highly recommend it, ive made some good friends from VN scene on discord
How do I get the Dwayne route started? I tried to do everything, but I get locked into someone else's route.
You should hang with the coach on day 2 You will meet Dwayne eventually
ooh okay. thank you
It is the 16th for me, so... Happy 42nd birthday, Papa Bear! ʕ •ᴥ• ʔ We will love you to end of time, and we hope you never forget that.
GOD I love this game. All the characters are LEGENDARY But I feel a specific type of bond with Darius that I can't shake.
I'm in love with harvey
Daym it was love at first sight now I don't care about dozer i just want harvey
Harvey was so handsome and yet dozer let him go
Dozer was at fault here too because the love he showed for harvey was not enough
My god, I thought my favorite route was Spencer but then Darius pops out 😭😭
I can´t be more in love with that lion, I'm excited about what will happen in the epilogue, and thanks WolfBite for making a game this loving, I can´t believe i´ve been playing this for 2 years now 😭
So me, love that lion with all my life.

Here is a good example of how I would like to see facial expressions in some dialogues
Yeah that would be great and it's easier to know what the character thinks about the option but I'll hope that they will add the facial expressions when the author finishes the routes
Thanks a lot
which characters have finished endings so far
and is there a list off all there names i often forget who is who
🐻 Harold Grifter - [Days 35/35 + epilogue]
🐕 Spencer Caldon - [Days 35/35 + epilogue]
🦖 Dozer Dozer - [Days 35/35]
🐃 Chester Hayes - [Days 35/35]
🦁 Darius Maynor - [Days 35/35]
🦏 Richard Harding - [Days 18/35]
🦍 Dwayne Lockwood - [Days 12/35]
This question may have been asked before so I'm sorry I just finished Chester's route and it said he would have an "Extra Day" is every character eventually going to get an Extra Day? or just Harold and Spencer?
Epilogues. Yes, over time (for the best endings).
(Spoilers I think?)
This was so amazing and fun! I did the Harold route and it was really awesome. I wish there was a scene between the MC, Harold, and Richard since it was heavily hinted at. At least I can use my imagination though!
ackk didn't expect that this game will be such a great vn
I LOVE HAROLDD!! he an Ideal PAPA BEAR!!🥴
SO TRUE!! Harold is the BEST character
Love your profile pic ✌️🔥
