Hi does this game require a subscription to a chatbot service like chatGPT? Or is it able to run everything locally?

Do I have to sign up to patreon to buy this?

It's really inconvenient that itch caved to the woketards.

I got it to work. I had to follow a guide to install ABD (android debugging bridge) and then install USB drivers for samsung phones because I have a galaxy S22. Then turn on developer options, USB debugging, and get my phone authorized in ADB. Lots of fun.

But once I got ADB to work, I was able to uninstall digital wellbeing because it was annoying me with useless notifications I couldn't turn off. Then I tried to install wicked lair since I had already gone through all this trouble.

Come to find out ADB has an option to install deprecated apk's.

adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block filename.apk

The game works fine! The fact this option exists in ADB tells me that modern day Android 15 can run old apk's with no problem. This isn't a compatibility issue, it's a forced deprecation issue. This is planned obsolescence. There's no reason to be doing it except to make Google Play more money by fleecing customers who are forced to go out and buy new updated software.

I had to disable google play protect and will probably have to keep it turned off to keep wicked lair. Which is fine by me. Google can suck donkey balls.

I guess I just have to come to terms with this game being gone forever.

They say the internet is the sum total of human knowledge. But if you use it long enough, you notice that it forgets.

I wonder if in 1000 years, will even a single existing web page continue to exist in that far future? Will everything we know now, be completely forgotten?

Why isn't there a way to update an old software and then receive just compensation for your hard work updating that software? You ought to be able to resell an abandoned software if you worked hard on an update for it.

Humanity already figured this out for physical assets. Like remodeling your apartment or fixing a car you make payments on. You can fix things that don't belong to you and people can charge money for that, and that's fine. But god damn if you touch someone else's software? WTF?

But it's abandoned. Surely someone knows how to take apart the .apk and repackage it so it can run in android 15?

I have very limited programming knowledge so I don't know why it wouldn't be compatible. But surely someone who knows android could update it?

It has no community so there is no chance of a community-driven update to it. It's just dead and this is shit.

The primary reason I like itch games with the game embedded in the browser is so I can play a demo of it before I buy it. I don't really want to visit the webpage and play the browser version once I buy it. I would rather download it and install it to my PC or phone.

It's just not right that it doesn't install in Android 15. Damn this planned obsolescence bullshit.

I would pay a few dollars for an updated version!

Why are the files hosted externally? It would be much easier if we could downlaod the game through Itch like every other game we buy on Itch.

Mega won't do a standard download and the GoFile link doesn't work. it says the file doesn't exist.

Doesn't Itch host game files for free? Could you just upload the game to Itch?

Gamers in the USA need this bill to pass, otherwise the payment processors will continue to pull stunts like this.

I agree. I don't have any faith in Itch to represent indie devs anymore.

We need a new storefront that accepts crypto as payment, and has beer and hookers!

If Itch doesn't change payment processors then I think there is merit to abandoning Itch and starting up a new platform that uses crypto for payment.

I work in a school and I've seen no shortage of queer and gender-related literature at the library.

Actually last summer while I was working on the computers I stopped to read a manga. It was one of the Blood series, and one character was the "1000 year old loli vampire" trope. She had a sex scene in the manga. Full nudity with a loli character in a high school library.

This won't be the end of it. Now that it worked once, they know it works and they're going to attack more games.

The search bar doesn't show up unless you log in. I was able to search for it and found it.

In case anyone else is worried about piracy, the zerat games dev is the first person to reply to the No Mercy thread at f95 zone. It looks like they gave consent to post it there.

I'm so far right that I'm disappointed with Trump. He's a centrist, not right wing.

As for censorship, it's absolutely done more often by the left wing. Protests, social media bans, forum bans, political correctness, narrative control, MSM propaganda. Book bans. The BIble is banned from schools. Harry Potter is protested against. I could go on.

But I've found lots of left-wingers use projection to attack the other side. Everything they do, they accuse conservatives of doing, and I think they even brainwash themselves into believing it.

Ravager isn't for sale on Itch anymore. It only has the 2gb demo.

https://4minutewarning.itch.io/ravager

It's still up for sale on Steam, currently at 50% off. If you get it at Steam download it and make a backup of the game folder. Who knows when it will disappear?

The "No Mercy" game wasn't a rape simulator, it was a blackmail simulator. In Ravager you play as a dragon and yes you do force some characters. If it's not being targeted yet it will be targeted soon.

"iT's EaSy tO FiNd"

101 searches later... still no link.

I found the developer. It looks like it's Zerat Games? But the game isn't for sale on their website.

https://zeratgames.com

Still no link to the game

I blame it all on liberals.

Right wingers generally don't engage in censorship.

I'm very right wing and I love NSFW games.

I actually done many searches for it and can't find it anywhere. As of yet no one has linked to it either. Who is the dev and where is their website?

The payment providers is the bad guy, yes. But Itch still runs this website, not a credit card company.

Itch made the decision to stomp on an indie dev because it was convenient for them to do so.

I disagree. Itch could have told Visa (or whoever else) to go pound sand and found a new payment processor. Paypal, Stripe, Venmo, Cashapp. Hell a crypto payment processor like CoinGate?

Taking down the game was a betrayal of their community. The whole purpose of Itch is to support indie devs. They let big brother stomp on one of their own.

They then went above and beyond that and basically shadowbanned their entire NSFW collection of games. That's not just bad, that's twirl-your-mustache villainous.

My guess is months or years from now, when the heat has died down, it will quietly be put up for download at a torrent site or file sharing service. Which is fine, I can be patient. But I would have preferred to support the dev.

I visited f95 zone but it looks like a forum. I didn't see a thread for no mercy in the adult games section.

It's not on Nutaku either.

If anyone finds it please post a link.

I checked JAST USA. They have NSFW visual novels. It's not there.

I checked Gumroad. That's where the Domina dev took his game when it was banned from Steam. It's not there.

I asked Google AI about it, and it refused to answer. Interesting - it has no reason to refuse unless it's being controlled by someone higher up. I've seen people ask how did one activist group in Australia convince payment processors to threaten storefronts like this? Anyone who has called a company to complain knows it takes weeks or months to get back a canned response. Someone more powerful is pulling the strings on this, and they want us to believe that collective shout is behind it. That person or group is also influencing Google AI.

I asked Venice AI about it, which is internet connected and perfectly happy to do NSFW things, answer anything morally questionable with objective responses. It couldn't find the game on any alternative storefronts.

Karryn's Prison isn't showing up.

https://remtairy.itch.io/karryns-prison

Anyway, where can I buy it? I need to see the game that upended the whole internet. Defeated Gaben and LeafCo.

he founder of Collective Shout, Melinda Tankard Reist, describes herself as a "pro-life feminist."

Feminists are left-wing. If she was a "Christofascist" she would submit to her man like it says in the Bible.

In Heat isn't showing up. IMO it's the best NSFW game on Itch.

https://monsterboxgames.itch.io/in-hea

I want to support the game that is being targeted by the left-wing misanthropes that even got Itch to stab their community in the back instead of doing the sensible thing and finding a new payment processor.

Show me the pixels that has everyone on the planet clutching at their pearls. It has to be some extra fine grade AAA smut.

Refantasia does look very similar to IDW. But Refantasia launched in 2022 and is already 3 years old. Isekai Demon Waifu launched in 2021 and got shut down after 4 years. I'm worried Refantasia is close to shutdown. Also I will have missed 3 years worth of events. But thank you for the suggestion. I'll keep it in mind.

So long story short Isekai Demon Waifu shut down earlier this week. I had been playing that over 3 years and had become the #1 player on my server (in fact I was the only player logging in on a regular basis for the past 6 months or so) and was basically a big shot. I had unlocked most of the girls, had a huge amount of resources, and got a top 10 rank on any of the cross-server events I bothered to take part in.

But besides all of that, it was the harem simulation that I loved the most. The sheer opulence of the demon king's palace. The roman columns and towering spires, the velvet drapes and gold filigree on the walls, the cushioned seats and the dozens and dozens of beautiful monster girls who were happy to see you. Your harem had succubi, bear girls, cat girls, eldritch horror girls with tentacles, a doppleganger who could change their form, a slime girl, ninja girls, assassins. They all had a normal animation, a dating animation, a hot tub animation, and a animation when you bed them and sleep together. It played dramatic organ music at the main screen and then this classy harpsichord music when you visit the harem. It was all opulent, high class, had a great presentation to make you feel rich and important. I loved it.

They have a new game they wanted us to all move over to, Isekai Slow Life. But it looks degrading in comparison. You start out as a mushroom person living on a farm and have to evolve to even become human. It lost the classy ambience, the palace, the extravagant everything that IDW had. Not to mention, I was attached to all the monster girls in IDW and they aren't in Slow Life.

To top it all off, both are gacha games. I must have spent close to $1k in IDW over the years I played it, buying boosts, new characters, new outfits, and other junk. I'm not excited to start playing a new gacha game that will require a similar cash investment to get where I was before, even if I could get where I was before. Like I said, Slow Life doesn't have the same feel as IDW had.

Is there anything comparable on itch? A high class, opulent harem simulator full of succubi and monster girls, with nice animations, but maybe isn't a gacha game? That I can play on android?

I know it's a lot to ask. I have a sneaking suspicion I'm just tough out of luck.

$20 is a lot, but I wanted to get the deluxe version which I was hoping had all the content. I was disappointed to see that you can't drink milk in the deluxe version. That animation is for patreon subscribers. So what... monthly fee to drink milk? Sorry but no. This is disgustingly over-monetized.

I'll be following this. I'm still bent that Isekai Demon Waifu shut down. I've been looking for a lewd game to play on my phone. I loved seeing a harem of succubi in a setting with the opulence of IDW. Throne rooms, velvet drapes, gold filigree covering everything. Organ music. I don't really like playing prerelease games, but this looks promising judging by the screenshots. Keep up the good work!
