This is a very fascinating comment to me because I cannot think of any comically evil character other than Vin, Irving who is a minor character, and maybe Boris & Yelena??? (Maybe Brandi but Brandi is just annoying...)

But, I do want to say 1) the only thing out in public is Chapter 1 and some stuff is going to come out in Chapter 2-3 as you get closer to things, and 2) that for some characters, that is partially kind of the point, because they have their own prejudices against them or characters are intentionally manipulating the MC to dislike certain people. For example, characters have a lot of opinions about Vito's impotence and Yelena's authoritarian approaches, but politics is much more complicated than that. RH is supposed to be a really long game and things will only be revealed later.

Sparrow is for Pavel only & vice versa (Pavel will not be romanceable to a new mc)!!! :>

I'm sorry! Paypal is the only payment method available in my country... :(

I should probably specify that this only applies on Ko-Fi btw! Itch taxes me about 20% and they take 2 weeks to get me money. Plus the goal meter is at Ko-Fi!

There's no set deadline but I'll be evaluating how achievable it is after 2 months! So you have time, don't worry

Nope! Any money I get will go to this game, even if people just want to tip me for whatever reason. Just send any amount and it will fill up the goal meter!

No, I am dead serious lolol. Someone actually suggested to me to make it a goal on Ko-Fi? I might do that so it's less hard on everyone...

Ahh, are you seriously asking? 

Tbh I'm not planning on coming back to this again because I think it's a complete ending, but I think a thousand dollars would make me rethink this and I'll make a whole "MC finds him 3 years later and becomes a hitman and they get married" story that's about 10k-20k words lol 

(It's okay if that's too steep... I think the price has to be high since I wasn't planning anything else and I would have to set other projects aside to work on that one, but I *do* actually have the muse to execute such a concept, I just need to be able to eat and Reanimated Heart is currently my main source of income...)

Thank you for the kind comments!!

I just want to clarify here... I am very, very aware of how much explicitly stating his background detracts from the game and how intense of a tonal whiplash it is. (If it was tonally different, more action-oriented maybe, I would've gotten away with it...) Initially, I left it vague because I thought it contributed to the vibe that MC can't fully "know" him (which was much better) but I deliberately decided to put it there because, in the initial release, certain bad actors attacked me anonymously because they assumed that this was somehow a Pro-Russia propaganda piece because they assumed Pasha was a modern day Russian soldier when even from inception he's been a Cold War soviet spy sent to America. I thought it was irresponsible to leave it vague considering that was brought into the conversation and the time period of when this was published because of said assumptions so ultimately I decided to compromise on ruining the tone a little bit just to have his background explicitly stated in the work because I assumed everything else would move past that part.

Anyway, I rarely reply to comments, but I decided to explain my piece here because I was wondering if people are going to notice that (and they did!) so now they have an explanation about why that part was put in

Aside from bad ends, just the one!

(You have to complain to him in an early scene then ask him to kill people later on... ;) )

Say yes to him with everything, then say you'll stay, lol. It's Ending C.

It was either that or vomit, and I realized he wouldn't give you a bath even with vomit 😔

Thank you for reaching out!

I addressed this in my devlog now~

https://doubledeadstudio.itch.io/pygmalions-folly/devlog/1004288/re-paid-version...

If you don't need the Itch launcher to play, e-mail me at reanimatedheartdrive@gmail.com and let's work something out !! 

Itch.io deindexed this game & I'm currently unsure about the status of payments on this platform. I am not currently offering this on sale for now.

Hello! You can DM me on Discord (brokemycrown) or email me at reanimatedheartdrive @ gmail.com, let's work something out :)

Yes, both genders have unique NSFW scenes. I've never indicated it was male only.

It should naturally come up when you play the game normally :)

If I think you're missing the CGs you're missing, you might need to pick a different gender :)

You have to be subscribed to the Patreon to get more updates. 

The game files here will no longer be updated (unless I change my mind in the future?)

If I ever put payments for RH on Itch, it'll be the complete version of the game.

If you click download now and pay $5, the paid version will be available to you!

The NSFW is tied to specific scenes. Play around to find where they are! ;)

Thank you for informing me! It has now been updated :)

I already have a ko-fi and that makes even less than Patreon. People just have no incentive to tip it randomly.

I'm not relying on Game Dev to be my main source of income anyway, I just don't want it to be a net loss. This is a hobby at the end of the day. The funds are just there so I can do it more consistently instead of sporadically and to up the overall quality.

If the project flops and cannot be sustained with other means, I'll probably just drop it.

The finished game will be available here and on Steam for a one time payment. (I put this on the devlog now.)

Thank you so much for understanding! Here is the game's Patreon account: https://www.patreon.com/c/reanimatedheartvn <3

Yes, it will be available for a one time payment on Itch and Steam when it's done!

That's so sweet of your friends! The final price of the base game will likely be closer to $20 when it's done~

It's still under development, and the next update for the fair will be released around March or April with a follow-up on June/July.

Yes, I have plans for a Steam release when it's over, but it is still being actively developed.

And, thank you. I adore Vincenzo to bits, and I love characters that are unashamedly malicious. :3

Ah, yes, that's just supposed to be a quick intro using still images, and it is coded differently than the rest. I had my community test out the loading and rollback functionality because of your feedback for the rest of the game and there are no reported issues.

I am aware it's lengthy to keep playing through all the time, so it has been in my plans to implement a Skip feature for that portion eventually.

Huh. From what I've heard, the loading and rollback is functional. What are you doing that is causing these bugs? I'll look into it.

What's the OS you're using? Are you using keyboard commands or quick menu shortcuts? And are you playing saves from older versions?

Thank you for letting me know! I'll be releasing a more polished version of this and Another Rose this year, and I'll correct this error then. :)

Hello! What version are you playing???

LOL, it's an AU of him, but yes. :>

I am aiming for an Android version someday, but at the moment, there are conflicting code and UI elements that I would have to re-do in order to achieve this, which makes it very low in my priority list right now.

...Unless there's a random rogue programmer out there who wants to help me make one for free. :') In that case, they should hit me up.

Yes, I'm working on an update for December.

(Side note, why does everyone think this is dropped omg. The last update is not that long ago!)

Oh, you're right, it is a bit confusing. I checked, and it's off when it's white.

Definitely check your Firewall! Some people reported that their Antivirus tried to block the program. If you're still having trouble, you can talk to me on Discord. My username is "brokemycrown"

It is not a patch! It's an entire zip file. You extract the zip, open the folder, and run the "Pygmalion's Folly" file.

Okay, I'll do a proper devlog tomorrow, but I uploaded a Revised version of the Guide. It's the txt that's downloadable with the rest of the files on this page. Let me know if it works!
