Yes! Ver 0.5.0 will be released on itch.io once the next update (0.6.0) is available on Patreon. Our current goal is to release it in about 2 months, so that's when 0.5.0 should become publicly available on itch as well
We managed to solve the issue! For anyone else who runs into the same problem: If your phone displays a message like "This app was built for an older version of Android and doesn't support the latest privacy protections," don't press OK. Instead, tap Continue installation.
Hmm, that's strange. Based on our own testing and feedback from other players, the game should work on Android 15, and many people are playing it without any issues.
Could you send me a screenshot of the error on Discord? We'd like to look into what's causing the problem. My Discord is kksenik. Thank you!
Unfortunately, support for older Android devices is limited, and because of engine limitations we can't guarantee that the game will work on every device.
We hope you'll get a chance to play The Wild Within on a PC or another compatible device in the future. We really appreciate your enthusiasm and support!
Were you able to play the game before Version 0.3.0? For example, did versions 0.2.x install and run on your device, or has the game never worked on your Samsung Galaxy J6?
The Nix & Emi romance scene is available in Version 0.5.0, which is currently Patreon-exclusive. The latest public version on itch.io is 0.4.1, so that scene isn't included there yet. Once Version 0.6.0 is released on Patreon, Version 0.5.0 (including the Nix & Emi scene) will become available for everyone on itch.
Hey! The latest public version is currently 0.4.1, and you can download it right here on the itch.io page. Version 0.5.0 is our latest release and is currently available exclusively on Patreon. Once we release 0.6.0 on Patreon, 0.5.0 will become the new public version on itch.
Yes, definitely! We'd love for The Wild Within to be available in multiple languages in the future.
Right now, though, it's simply not practical. The game is still in active development, and we often rewrite or improve dialogue from earlier chapters as the story evolves. Translating every update into one or more additional languages at this stage would take a huge amount of time and significantly slow down development.
Once a larger portion of the story is finished and the script becomes more stable, translating the game will become a much more realistic goal. We'd love as many people as possible to be able to enjoy The Wild Within, so localization is absolutely something we plan to do in the future!

You should ask Foxyghost, the developer of The Tribe... why are you asking us? :D (We are NOT the developers of The Tribe or any other game besides The Wild Within!) However, I know that FoxyGhost hasn't abandoned the game
Thank you so much! We do have an overall plan for the main story, as well as a roadmap for the next few chapters (including key events and characters.) That said, things can still evolve during development. Sometimes we adjust parts of the story as we go, add new ideas, or rethink older ones. Since there are just two of us working on The Wild Within, we spend a lot of time discussing the game together, that’s how many new ideas are born (and sometimes how we decide to let others go). Thanks for asking, it’s always nice to talk about our process! <3
Hey! Could you please send a screenshot of the error message? That would really help us understand what’s going on. You can send it to me on Discord kksenik
In the future, we will certainly add other languages, but it’s hard to say when at this point. The game is currently in development, and we have no plans to add other languages in the near future. We need at least a third of the game to be 100% complete and polished before we can begin localization.
Sorry for the confusion! Version 0.3.1 is the public release, while version 0.4.0 is for Patreon. The devlog lists all the changes and new content. If it isn't marked as [Patreon release], it's available to everyone on Itch.it right now. For example, the new content added in this update includes:
The completion of Nix’s spicy scene, available for both the human and werewolf branches — plus unlockable in the gallery
A strange dream scene… what could it possibly mean?
A deep conversation with Nix, revealing more about the lore and mysteries of this world
Meet a new character — the shy and adorable cow girl Emi. Will you manage to get along with her?
Relax and spend some calm time with your two new friends
All character sprites and CG scenes are fully hand-drawn by me (I’ve been drawing long before generative AI even existed :Р) We only use AI as a helper tool for creating some backgrounds, but those are always manually edited and refined afterward.
Hey! An update with new content and a fix for that issue in Nix house is coming out today! Sorry you ran into that bug, but hopefully this update will fix it!
Thanks for trying to explain, but that's not accurate for Unreal Engine. UE5 is completely free to download and use for game development – no upfront license is required. Epic Games uses a royalty-based model where they only take a 5% cut of gross revenue after your product reaches $1 million in lifetime earnings. And we don't earn that much, believe me :D
There's absolutely no need for any cracking tools or pirated versions, as the engine is openly available through the Epic Games Launcher. So yes, it's just an extremely common false positive
It looks like the issue is most likely caused by Android version compatibility — the current minimum supported version is Android 10, and the recommended is Android 13. We're working on expanding device support over time, but unfortunately Android 9 not be able to run the game properly right now. I’m really sorry that you couldn’t play — I know that must be disappointing. If you have another device (or a PC for building Windows), I hope you can play
First, please make sure you’re downloading and installing the APK directly, without using any third-party download apps or file managers. We recently found that some download services can corrupt the APK or save it incorrectly, which leads to this exact error.
Please try this: - Completely delete the downloaded APK file - Download it again - Install it
If the issue still happens, please tell me: Your Android version AND Your phone model
