it's in my to-do list to post in the self promo threads on those subreddits this weekend :) But word of mouth really helps too! I've gotten a lot of new players from other people's posts on reddit so it's always appreciated!

Hi! This is a fix I found for this issue (which I can't fix on my end unfortunately) : https://www.howtogeek.com/803598/app-is-damaged-and-cant-be-opened/
If this doesn't work, you can email me at manekimushidev@gmail.com (just use the same email address your itch.io account uses, so I'll know you bought the game) and I can give you a Steam key! This error probably won't occur on Steam (I hope).
There's no linux build (I don't have access to linux so I wouldn't be able to test any builds, and I'd feel bad releasing something potentially completely broken), but from what I understand either the Windows or Mac version should work in virtual machines/emulators? I don't know much about linux though, so I could be wrong.
I've been trying to look into the issue but I think it's an engine issue and not something I'm able to fix :/ The only potential solution to try I can think of is to keep your number of saves low in case it's a file size issue (so like, overwriting/deleting your oldest saves instead of using a new slot every time).
Sorry this is happening, and sorry I can't help much!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts (and don't worry, your English is perfectly clear)!
I'm really glad you enjoyed Emrys's route and that the moral implications of it felt compelling! I hope you'll enjoy Aerona's route as well, she offers a different angle on your past and how to move forward! I'm also glad you like her art, she's also my favourite out of the character designs :)
Thank you for your support and for taking the time to write this comment, I really appreciate it <3
It could indeed be the saves! The game checks for a "DLC enabled" variable to play the DLC scenes, so your saves from the free version would have this variable set to false and would fail to trigger the scenes... Sorry about that!
Have you tried starting a new game in the DLC version and choosing "Start from another chapter" to start from chapter 3? That should let you see the DLC scenes without having to replay chapters 1 and 2!
I'm so glad you noticed all those things haha :') The full game will definitely have more sex scenes that aren't just PiV, especially in Kyros's scenes!
You can indeed romance all three characters or just two, all poly combinations will be possible and have their own ending!
Thank you so much for enjoying the demo and sharing your thoughts <3
I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
I think those CGs must be the SFW alt versions of the adult scenes? So unfortunately there's nothing very exciting to figure out, they'll get unlocked by just setting the game to SFW mode and replaying those scenes :') I'm considering presenting the gallery in a different way to avoid this kind of confusion!
I haven't heard of that happening to other players! Though there are a lot of issues on Mac :'( This link has different ways to solve this issue:

(and if neither of these work and you'd like a refund, you can email me at manekimushidev@gmail.com with your itch.io payment receipt!)
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! Your thoughts on Aerona make me really happy, I'm glad her characterisation came through and made you emotional! Also super happy to hear you like the NSFW DLC, it's important to me to make female gaze content and for the adult scenes to reinforce the story themes and add to the emotional intimacy!

Getting to see Yi Kai's journey through and come back to Aerona would just be too good :') I wanted the final choice to feel difficult, there's no "right" choice and if you care about the characters every choice might have a downside.
Oh that sucks, I'm not sure why that might be happening! You might want to check the app's Write permissions if you're on Mac. If you're on Windows you might want to look into the save files (there should be a Saves folder inside the The Hero's Journey_Data folder) and see if things disappear when you quit the game.

I'm so happy you feel so strongly about your choices and the characters :') Leaving Emrys and Beca behind to take the Sun path is a hard choice for sure! I cried when I wrote Beca's scenes on the Sun path sometimes, I love her and it's hard to write her and Emrys as antagonists T_T I think it makes it all the more heartfelt and sweet when you do take the Star path and get to have them by your side though!
Thanks for taking the time to write your thoughts and feelings!
