itch.io

The game itself is compatible, but the installation process is different. I've only recently discovered that you can add an option to add Steam keys to itch.io purchases and I'm in the process of implementing this feature.

I'd recommend downloading the Steam key and activating on Steam to avoid the hassle. The keys should be available within a few days.

Update: Steam keys are now available.

Thanks. I honestly didn't know there was a feature that allows to automatically provide Steam keys to itch.io customers.

I'll send a request for new Steam keys and will add this option to all of our titles as soon as possible.

Edit: Steam keys are now available.

Update: This should now be fixed. Be sure to re-download the DLC.

Thank you. This error indeed happens when you download the game from itch.io. The game files must have gotten corrupted somehow during file upload. I'll fix this as soon as possible.

No, there aren't any differences in the game itself.

Hi, sorry for a late response. There have been issues with extracting files using the default Windows 11 extractor (Windows 10 works just fine). It's best to download 7-zip from https://www.7-zip.org/ (it's free) and use it to extract the files. It should work without problems.

We just want to correct some minor bugs and update the game guide and we'll upload the new version.

Can you please elaborate? Can you see the files but can't download, you don't see any files, etc.? Screenshots would be appreciated (send them over to support@digitalseductions.com).

I checked many times before with an alternative account where I actually bought the game and everything works just fine.

In current version, there should be 7 files in total for the full game (unfortunately itch.io only allows 1GB per uploaded file, hence why it must be split into many separate files): "Countess in Crimson 0.8.19 Setup.zip", "Countess in Crimson 0.8.19 Setup.z01", "Countess in Crimson 0.8.19 Setup.z02", "Countess in Crimson 0.8.19 Setup.z03", "Countess in Crimson 0.8.19 Setup.z04", "Countess in Crimson 0.8.19 Setup.z05", "Countess in Crimson 0.8.19 Setup.z06".

Are you able to download those files? If you do, make sure they are in the same folder and right-click on "Countess in Crimson 0.8.19 Setup.zip" to extract the archive. If you are on Windows 11, the built-in Windows extractor does seem to behave weirdly and shows "The same volume cannot be used as both the source and destination" error (I think Windows 10 extractor didn't have this issue). I recommend using a free third-party extractor like 7-zip which should extract the archive without any issues.

Please send us an email to support@digitalseductions.com and list all the files you're able to download.

That's good to hear. Thanks for taking the time to  verify.

I don't know what software reported it, but it's a false positive. The game doesn't contain any viruses or malware.

I encourage you to run a different antivirus scan to verify.

Are you seeing other UI elements, like character portraits and text field borders?

There is an engine-level bug that makes certain interface elements not appear after the game starts. This includes dialogue choices, so when you encounter the first choice, you can't proceed beyond it. It seems like that's what you're experiencing.

Bad news is we tried everything we could think of to get rid of this bug and nothing works. It looks like the engine developers are the only people that would be able to fix this.

Good news is this seems to happen mostly on the first time the game is run after being installed. Try again a few times and see if the problem persists. All players that reported this issue so far were able to resolve it simply by restarting the game.

If you've encountered a different bug to what I described, it's best if you send us an email to support@digitalseductions.com with a detailed description of what is happening and we can work on solving it.

Where does it say it? When you run the installer?

There's a small update coming soon, but if you want the full v1.0 experience on your first playthrough, you may want to wait a few months.

Hi

All future updates for the base game will be free (this includes a new girl and additional storylines), so if you paid for the game once, you won't have to pay again.

There is an additional paid DLC Pack planned for the future beyond v 1.0, but that's something we're not yet working on.

Please try using an external application like 7-zip.

Regarding the interactive minigame in the Mastery Sex Scenes, we will be changing this in the next update. Non-interactive will be the default setting and additional gallery images will be unlocked based on your Personality Trait scores.

As for viewing the gallery - we don't have a playlist feature, but left/right arrow keys can be used to view next/previous image, so you don't necessarily have to click a single image -> exit -> click another image.

Yes, download all necessary files into one folder, unzip and run Setup.exe

Hello

They are parts of a single zip archive and you need to download all of them to be able to extract the entire archive.

For example, if you want to play the demo, you need to download Countess in Crimson Demo 0.8.11 Setup.zip, Countess in Crimson Demo 0.8.11 Setup.z01, Countess in Crimson Demo 0.8.11 Setup.z02 and Countess in Crimson Demo 0.8.11 Setup.z03

This is because itch.io doesn't allow uploading  single files larger than 1GB.
