I should probably first say that I have not yet finished the game, but I'm working on it and I really like it so far. However one possible bug that I have noticed since playing 4.7 and now on playing 4.8 is the game sometimes skips a single dialogue box as if it thinks I double tapped a button. I've tested my mouse on other programs and tried a different mouse and even my keyboard, but the game still sometimes skips dialogue as if it thinks I clicked a button twice insanely quick. This doesn't happen on any other programs that I have so I think it's some kind of input bug on the game's end. I don't know if anyone else has reported this or if it has happened to them. If it is possible perhaps you could test to see if this happens to your gameplay as well. If it doesn't happen then it might be something on my computer's end (my laptop is pretty old) but I just wanted to let you know since this only happens when I play this game. Regardless, I really like the game and have been enjoying the story. Much love.
Thanks for the report. It's very possible it's an issue with the game input. Is there a specific line/scene that it consistently happens in? And are you using mouse, keyboard, or controller input?
I only recently started the game over on 4.8 but so far the scenes that I remember it happening on was the player's dialogue on responding to Rickon's demand of paying him, then when giving Drackey the player's name and when checking the object that Rickon dropped. At first I thought it might have been from me holding down the mouse button to skip the dialogue I've already read but then it skipped again when asking Corsica why she was sitting at the same table in the restaurant and I wasn't holding down the button to skip through beforehand. I mostly just use the mouse but I did test using the spacebar and it still did skip. Testing it again (at least on 4.8) so far it seems to mostly happen to the dialogue box after being given a choice to make. However, I remember when playing on 4.7 during the time when the player helps to look for Corsica's lost ring a dialogue box skipped when we were in the apartment with Corsica's roommate (I forgot her name) and I think it skipped at just a random interval but it could have skipped after being given the choice at the roommate's laptop, I can't remember when.
Ok, yeah this is most likely a bug in the game where two sets of text accidentally have the same play time. I'll take a look and try to find them get it sorted out. Thank you for letting me know!
I loved it. I can see the many ideas that got set aside as developed continued that can give it a little unfinished feel such as picking species and the coins but the overall story was vary coherent and thought out. The side characters where fun one off romps too. Would love to see more from ScylezStudios
yeah, the coins and the clothes were two features that originally were planned to have a lot more involvement but the project and story ballooned to be so massive they got dropped so I could finish what I had. But I left them in because after I finish my current projects it's entirely possible for me to go back and actually include some of the things I wish were in the game. But I'm really glad you enjoyed it!!! And thank you for playing <3 Down the road when I finish some of my other projects or the sequel VN I'd love for you to come back and try it out as well :)
So tried the game for a little bit, made it to just past very first night out with the guys, and have to ask, is it normal for them to go nude? They weren't wearing clothes then or during the scene the following morning and don't know if it was a bug or not. Was playing on the Android version on a tablet.
You are the first person to ever ask for a mac build XD but unfortunately I have no way to test on a mac. It'd be risky to release an untested build so sadly a mac build probably won't happen soon.
And yeah, Helios is unfortunately only in that one specific scene. There's always a chance he'll get more screen time in the future ^^ but if so it'd be after I finish up the next VN
I have just gotten through my first playthrough of this game, it is great I look forward to seeing what the sequel will truly come to be. I will be doing another playthrough mainly to get to the second date with Izzy. Anyways one question, what is the point of the Dracoins and Outfits you find throughout the map? Are they just collectables with little to no consequence on the story or something more?
Dracoins and Outfits were originally planned to do a lot more in the game but that feature got cut as development went on. Originally dracoins were going to be required for the good ending, and also be used to purchase outfits. outfits were going to give unique dialogue too. Now they're just around as collectables mostly. The outfits do still have a tiny influence on your final love. All characters have some outfits they like and dislike.
Not sure if that really counts as a guide though. Unfortunately there's nothing created yet that shows specifics on what options to choose to get certain outcomes
Late reply. sorry. but here you go. Hopefully this will help a little. Bonus and mini scenes do happen randomly if you don't have the free explore enabled. If you do use free explore, they can all be found on the overworld. And if you miss something and really want to see it you can always choose it from the scene picker ^^
At the end of scene 2 (Drackey's party), accept Scylez's invite to get his first date. And then in scene 9 (Game night), have Blinki go pick up the food. This will prompt Scylez to invite you to dinner for his second date. You have to have seen the first date to see the second date. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the feedback! All good ideas. Rollback is high on my list and will probably get implemented at some point. I'd love to add more art too but that's a slow process. Maybe down the road though I could do some of these ^^

Is it possible you had natural mode on, or somehow accidentally toggled it on from the menu? That will disable all clothes.
is it possible for a mac build
also is helios only in one scene? hes the most attractive to me so hoping he shows up more.

I do enjoy the game was curios on a guide/ walk through if there is one at all please and thanks.
There are some flowcharts within the game that give a basic overview of how scene's progress.
There's also some info here: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/chasing-tail-2F-shadows-scylez/a/chasing-tail-artic...
Not sure if that really counts as a guide though. Unfortunately there's nothing created yet that shows specifics on what options to choose to get certain outcomes
Thanks That should be fine.
Can Perya be romanced? Does he have a route?
Great game, by the way, thanks.
Sadly no, Perya does not have a romance option :'(
But thank you! <3
And in which days are the bonuses scenes if you can say, i dont know how many i am missing because is based in luck to get them

thanks for the reply sorry for the trouble ❤️
How do I get the Scylez's second date in the vn?
At the end of scene 2 (Drackey's party), accept Scylez's invite to get his first date. And then in scene 9 (Game night), have Blinki go pick up the food. This will prompt Scylez to invite you to dinner for his second date. You have to have seen the first date to see the second date. Hope that helps!
Thanks!
Here's some ideas for improvements:
You can add the MC's facial expression sprites on the bottom left corner.
More CGs for the NSFW scenes instead of one.
Text box options such as rollback.
If possible, update the sprites or CGs to match the characters' appearance.
But other than that, I enjoyed it so far!
Thanks for the feedback! All good ideas. Rollback is high on my list and will probably get implemented at some point. I'd love to add more art too but that's a slow process. Maybe down the road though I could do some of these ^^
