itch.io

Ooooohhhh, that explains a good bit, and sorry if my past comment or if this comment seem a bit antagonistic, I am just really bad at wording lol. (If it's not obvious, I really do like this vn and I hope you get some help with developing it so you don't have to do it solo.) Honestly, I'm really surprised that you work on this SOLO, this is a really good VN, it's obvious even with the little I've read.

As a person who regularly plays turn-based games, I can traverse complex systems; routes and points are simple enough to find, so it really isn't a problem at all. Although, I do want to see the best route without worrying if I made a fuck-up 8 hours before at the first part of the route by accidentally saying the Slightly Wrong Option(tm) or getting one less point that screws me over! (No joke, I once made a small mistake at the beginning of a vn, and about 5 hours of reading later, I got a worse path for that one fuck-up since I had one bad point.)

This isn't just me either, a lot of people want some sort of indicator of their route in general, and this complaint stems purely from the fact that this game is great and people want to experience the best from it!

Two toggleable options to make it better are 1:  an option that shows the route you're on without spoiling or revealing the other routes, or 2: an option that just shows when an important decision is being made and if you start going down a new route. (I know I keep saying route, but I do just mean general path or split even if temporary. And remember, it doesn't matter if those paths don't change things in the long run, it still matters to the reader.)

All in all, I can't wait to read this again! Despite the drawbacks, it really is a great novel that I WILL read through whenever my damn monkey brain can settle down for 20 simple minutes!

I wish there was an online version since my tablet cannot handle downloading anything above 500 MB. I also don't have a computer or stronger phone since they're both broken...

So, I'm sure gonna finish reading this someday, but I saw on one update that you need to get bond points on a certain route which you get from special dialogue choices. So I decided to just.....not until I find like, a guide or smthn cause this is getting confusing and I just wanna read the funny yaoi novel without having to check if I'm not the fun path, or on the uh-oh you killed your friend's parents path. Though, with the amount that I have played, (literally all of it was Wagner's route for like, I think until the beach scene with the lotion or sunscreen or smthn.) I can clearly see the effort and care this game has been given, and it shows in this really nice VN that I'm sure I could definitely rank higher than some others that I read. I just wanna get a good route that doesn't involve a 13-page chart (Tavern of Spear.....) to find out how to make his mother not explode! Will play again sometime.

Also, it's funny how the page content says there's no mobile version, but then you scroll down for a total of 0.2763 seconds and you find the android versions lol. (Trying it here since itch is being a bitch and not letting me snitch on the main page.)

I HATE NOT CHEKING MY EMAIL I WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE SO FAST, FUCK

YIPPEE

Can I just sleep until it releases please!? This looks pretty cool!

With this, I agree

With this I plea

With this I ask for Niall or I flee

I feel like I just went on a drug trip after reading, and I don't know how I feel about it. :3

That's been in the game for a long while so it's probably not a bug. Unless you're also talking about Jayce then it is a bug. Butters' artwork only shows up later; presumably because it was only made later and Monchi forgot to go back here and change it.

Rofi + Oliver = adorable

It probably has to do with the dev team being so small that they can't go back into the beginning of the story and update each profile. It would take around a day or two to just re-read to the part where they need to update at minimum, and extra time taken away from writing one of the 4 stories they're making. I wish the team was bigger and more people knew about it since they could fix some issues with the lore and code.

Well, it's shoichi pressuring yuu in the bad path, and there are only really 3 routes. And in the medium path, you either: **minor spoilers i guess**

(check the fan-wiki for tennis ace. Although, it is limited to before, like, shoichi day 35-42)

*Minor spoilers start: *

try to help but get yelled at (chose wrong answers), or if you decide to not pressure him at school (doesn't matter the choices you chose previously) but tell someone about Yuu being uncomfortable about Shoichi there are supposedly minor differences, but I don't want to re-read Shoichi's route eight times.  In the good path yuu helps him reconnect with his mom (and proceed to do a multitude of things behind his back without his consent but that's a topic for a different time).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they just completely forgot about it since it doesn't show up in any other route

dear god

Rask is best boy

Nope, It the dev said it probably wont be released until next year

I'm about to replay this game again, but there is one spoiler for chapter 2 that I want to raise concerns with.

I know this has been brought up already, but you have GOT to change the ending for chapter 2. That bedroom scene was so uncomfortable to read, and the GOOD OPTION was to not defend yourself from this guy who randomly started to be almost predatory. I also feel the twist could be led up to more since it felt like the big doggo was going to be the main love interest but wasn't. Now that itself is a decent twist, but it wasn't built up before that, well, other than him being protective, which could be explained away since this random homeless guy just started hanging with bro's crush, and took room in the house. I will re-read the novel and I will change my comment and admit I was wrong if the twist was built up more than I remember. I still love the VN but, that chapter was just not very good in the twist and MC action department.

of my fucking god, they are actually making good decisions??????????

I think people want to be mad and don't care why they are. Hell, people are getting worried about lgbtq and queerness in general is gonna be treated, and while that is a valid concern, it is completely irrelevant as "The content in question likely includes incest, r*pe and other legally questionable content" Not anything about fellow gays. people just want to panic and riot since the world is shit and if something is a threat then it's "going to be worse eventually" and it might, but if people stopped panicking and had a clearer mind, they could find a solution instead of whining about it. Also it's not about itch being a bitch, it's about these companies wanting a monopoly on people's lives.

edit: it says in the itch.io post that the guidelines are from the payment processers linked to the account (if your money goes through one of these processers, you have to follow the processers rules to ensure you are getting monetized) and itch has nothing to do with those. Itch is trying to keep people making money without trying to piss off the people who enforces the rules, even if this includes free games. Itch has people and families, steam has people, those companies enforcing this never had people.

lol i love this game, i beat the secret boss by just drawing cards and only had like 15

cards.

so i beat him then went into secret.

1st im not secret character

2nd map shorter (dunno if bug)

3rd stuck on boss thing and i dunno how escape

still fun game tho :)

Man, this looks like a fun read. Sad it was cancelled but it was nice to see a small look into what could have been. Hope you are doing well!

during the secret boss i forgot to get anything to cleanse debuffs, got to deal negative damage, so I HEALED THE ENEMIES, and I have never had so much fun playing a game before lol (genuinely, except for another card battler,  wildfrost)

Nah I would join him in his misery to suffer together :3

*insert YES with too many characters*

Oh you poor soul

If i had ze monies i woukd immediately vote for Rofi, fast as sonic, faster that light itself.

I might like Rofi a lil bit

Nah that was the only match with yuuya

Lol no there are (I'm pretty sure) at least 2 more chapters and we are just now on  chapter 3

uhhhhhhhh its literally the least worked on one of them all and they aren't working on it anymore (at least until they have gotten done with Temptations ballad)

I know this is a pretty hard and time-consuming thing to do but like... what if Callum and his friends (and side characters) came to hang out with Baxter, Mylo, and their friends? Tbh i just wanna know how Dave's sister is doing and finish up the, like, 6 side-stories for the other characters along with Smoke + David. Not gonna lie, I mainly just wanna see Dave's sister and Troy interacting with Mylo alongside their friends lol. ALSO ALSO 10/10 would read 38 more times and cry each time :3

i mean... the game is called cryptid CRUSH after all

I always found it funny that before Artemi had these HD sprites, when she got shocked her lineart when away and always said "wow that was so shocking that Artemi's lines jumped off"

lol literally my thoughts before they had time to be my thought

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have not been a fan for as long as many other people but this....THIS I HAVE BEEN FUCKING WAITING FOR I CANNOT WAIT TO READ IT AGIAN AND SPEND HOURS ON END READING THIS VN AND NOT MOVING 2 FUCKING INCHES FROM MY BED WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

lol i jus get excited about reading and especially the vn that I have literally over 300 screenshots for and was one of my first favorites out of a LONG list of vn's. And when my first vn was about I think a month and a half before reading this one, maybe more, maybe less its definitely up in my top three out of like idk 30-40, and even tops some books from REALLY good writers so I might be a little happy about this and even though I have absolutely no money I still feel the need to support even though I again cant lol so I'll say what plenty of others said before:

Keep up the good work you crazy man (also srry abt weird spelling I don't wanna look through that WALL of text hehe srry abt that btw)

make that September 7th

lol same

I just wanna know what character would be the next to get updated bc i need more niall since he actually shares the name with my o.c. and he is just a funky lil' guy

yeah my eyes were in pain like how when you hear broken English but yeah, also English is hard to learn so i doubt that would be happening anytime soon lol
