You must reach the last room in the 1st temple, unlock the mouse transformation (by interacting with the big statue/altar) and read the writing on the wall (this should give you a new quest as well). If you have done all that, when you exit to the world map, you should get a warning that you can write things down in your uncle's study (2nd floor in your house in Tarkas). Doing that advances the chapter, so make sure you finished everything you wanted to do first.

Yes, there are ways. If you investigate the cave before talking to him, you'll realize Ginnuk is eating poisonous mushrooms (you can find some in a broken barrel). While his life isn't at risk, you can offer him an antidote as a trade (if you have one), and he'll let her go. If your intelligence is 80 or higher, you can also trick him.

There is a significant amount of lesbian content available, yes, but it's not exclusively that, you can "pick and choose" so to speak.

Maybe you had seen the first scene already, and now it's just repeating the second one instead (and you forgot you saw the first one in the past)? In the scene, is Erica standing or is she sitting on one of the Djinns' lap?

The exe file should be easier to estract, in the sense that you can run it on windows and it will do everything on its own. The 7z file is for people that are having false positives with antiviruses or people that want the files to try and run the game on their phones, but you need something like 7zip installed to open the archive in that case. Note that to run the game on the phone, you'd need specific programs and to follow certain procedures.

You also need to install the RTP (only once) it's linked near the bottom of the page.

Glad it worked. Have fun! ^_^

Oh, sorry, I was thinking of a different quest! For this one, you can use hand of fire on the Eye, and it will trigger the next part (there are some hints about how the Eye behaves that should help point players in this direction, if I remember right). Also, I forgot to say this, but remember that there is a walkthrough for the game (it's also linked in the game's folder). Simply find the quest's name (or use CTRL+F to search for the term you want), if you need something for a specific quest or event.

Unfortunately, in this old version of RPG Maker you can rebind the function keys but not the movement keys, so unless you use a gamepad to play or some external program to "trick" the PC into thinking the keys you want to use are the arrow keys, I am afraid you can't play the game.

Wait, if you download and install the RTP and then download the game and install that one, you can't run the "game.exe" inside the installation folder? RPG Maker doesn't need a player to run, the RTP is just a few assets to that are installed separately, so you don't need to redownload them with each update.

Mmmh, it seemed to work fine for me. Which version of the game are you using?

I don't seem to have any problems clicking the links in the page. Was it a link from one of the spam bots that are infesting itch these days?

Do you mean during the adventurers guild quest? You can use the Push spell on a boulder behind him.

If you know where the Djinns are, you can simply go back there, and the new scene should trigger. If you never met them, their magic lamp can be found in the oasis, next to Rahib.

You should be able to do the quest without issues (there are ways to gather intel without working there, anyway). I can't remember what kind of failsafe I have in place for failure, though, I might have to double check.

For the Zanti, you need to get maids first (they'll be the ones providing the maids, at a certain point). Talking to one of the maids will allow you to set things in motion.

Hey, as long as everything is fine now.
Glad you like the game! ^_^

Since you know about the walkthrough, you should be able to CTRL+F for "royal library" to find this, but here is the current entry:

One of the two “advanced libraries” in the game. There are a few ways to gain access to it, but they are all tied to the Emperor (and thus, being a noble is prerequisite):

1. Join his harem (see above);
2. Have a relationship score of 5 or higher with the Emperor;
3. Complete the quest “The Weak Link”;

This means that the library is only available from chapter 3 at the earliest.

As for the first temple, perhaps things got more complex over time, so I didn't account for certain possibilities. Are you using the schedule? If you never leave your house through the door, this scene won't trigger, but otherwise you should have a visit from a friend of your uncle after the first day. He tells you to go talk to him at the mage guild, and he will then guide you to the first temple (this visit gives you the quest "First Dig" in the questlog).

If this was the case, I can always modify the schedule to trigger the scene as well.

You can cycle through a few options with F5 and F6. Alt+Enter can also toggle fullscreen.

No, at least not at this point in time. If a few years down the line people are interested, I might release a "Caliross 1.1" update, and then I could reconsider, but for now it's complete.

Actions that are "slutty" and "public" are generally what raise the slut reputation. Working at the brothel or doing some exhibitionist stuff, for example. Being a slut in private or in places where discretion is more expected is fine.

For Navarra's quest, the idea is that her power isn't perfect, so she wants to cross all the Ts. I'll see if I can change the dialogue to make it more obvious.

The Magi Crown does affect your willpower (specifically, it gives +5 to intelligence and -10 to willpower).

Due to the way I originally programmed things (and later on, some conflicts between third-party scripts) the values don't update right away, but only after you exit and then re-enter the menu when it comes to equipment affecting your personal stats.

For the pendant, do you mean the Marintas's? If so, that one unlocks all unique hypno-themed scenes around the game. If you are talking about the weird pendant, you can take it off at will, if I remember right. That one affects wet dreams you get if you take a nap (higher slut reputation values unlock more scenes).

Let's see:
1) No plans to change the priestess interaction at this point. I am getting close to wrapping things up, so I am trying to focus on either things I wanted to have in the game, things that are unfinished, quality of life changes and the odd, small task which doesn't need too much time to get done.

2) Slut reputation unlocks certain scenes (like the guy in the slums) and it affects the ending you get with the emperor if it's too high (you can't become the empress). 

3) I think I could add the Institute to the schedule as an "extra" for either the morning or the afternoon, that makes sense given how it works.

4) While I agree in theory, I am not sure where I could place more fast travel points. Since the schedule was added, fast travel has probably become even less useful. I'll see about adding a "leave the city" option.

5) The task can be completed, but Navarra wants you to be thorough and check all the "candidates" info, even ones where you already found that something doesn't match her prediction (basically, you should have a complete profile for ALL the girls).

Do you have the latest version? This should be fixed. If you do have version 0.9.29a and it still freezes, try winning the test on the first try and see if that helps.

"Tales Of The Drunken Cowboy" would be the actual title. There are 3 games I made before Caliross, actually. They used the RAGS engine (a fairly old, and probably awkward engine for modern standards) but they all got HTML conversions as well.
They aren't here because I made them before I ever had a Patreon or anything like it, and because back then I just used pics taken from the internet for the visuals (since it was just a hobby, I couldn't really spend money for the art).
They are featured in my blog, if you are interested. As I said, the engine was very different, so the experience might not be everyone's cup of tea:

Glad you are having fun with the game! I tried my best to have a fun base game, so I always appreciate hearing from people that enjoyed the gameplay.

I see what you mean. Since I had made the scene with the painting trigger randomly, that caused confusion. Maybe I'll limit it to once per day if you get the full scene.

You do get some very minor differences in Kyle's scene if you are a bimbo, but for the most part things play out the same. I don't want to write a new scene for it, but I'll take a look when I have some time, and see if I can extend the differences a bit more, so that it feels more unique if you have the trait.

Yeah, as you said, it can be tough to account for every little thing. Sometimes I think I should have used a smaller number of characters, and focus on each a bit more, but it's useless to think about that stuff now that the game is almost finished.

I get what you mean. Since the painting has the opening scene, plus the scene where you pose, and then the content when it's in your house, I thought it might be enough. Since it's a late addition to the game, I didn't have big plans for it, but maybe a scene that feels more "final" would help with it, I'll have to think about it.

I recently added another random scene for the cursed painting once you have it at home (it will go public next month). What made you think it was going to lead to more? I don't have sprawling plans for the painting, so I might have to change some of the writing, if it's misleading.

The summons you can gather in the pocket dimension aren't "battle-oriented", so to speak. You can find other ones, that do fight with you, as alternatives to your current summon. There is one hidden in the second temple, one hidden in a secret temple in the woods near Tarkas (this one requires a lot of preparation, though, since you need the ritual gemstone from the first temple and to find a hidden area to "upgrade" the gemstone in the second temple AND you need a full moon), and there is one you can get if you impress the archmagus.

The amount of save slots is already larger than the default. I can look into expanding it, though. How many do you think would be enough?

I'll look into adding notes to the saves, but no promises.

Hey, sorry for the delay (itch messes up the email notifications from time to time >_<).
To know if you got it, it's simple: if you go to "personal info" in the menu and press enter a second time, you can check your tattoos, traits and so on (the Zanti brand counts as a tattoo). Note that the brand is magical, so it usually doesn't show during regular scenes.

If you have the newest version, it should work... Did you use detect magic first? Erica won't really use Dispel if she doesn't notice there is magic at play first. If this doesn't work, maybe share your save with me, and I can try to dig deeper.

Are you playing the latest public version (0.9.29a)? That one should work just fine (I just tested it).

Glad you enjoyed it! ^_^

You must work at the Zanti farm (the countryside is south of Tarkas, it should be easy to find). As you continue to work there, your willpower should go down. Once it reaches 85 or lower, you should trigger the next step and the path should be mostly straightforward from there.

The books must be ordered alphabetically, and you must select first one then another to switch their positions. It's a bit late, but I hope this helps.

There is no way. I wanted to add it for a long time, but there was always something else to work on, and now I am working on finishing the game, so it's not happening for now.

Glad you enjoyed it! ^_^

The masseuse is only available if you went with the League of Merchant for the town expansion. She shows up in their store, and offers her "services" there.

The easiest way is to go to the bazaar at night. There is a woman you can pay there to change your figure. Becoming a cowgirl at the farm also increases your bust.

Unfortunately, it's just too time consuming to do now. It would have been much easier if I had planned for it in the beginning, but with the way things are right now it's not going to happen.

Inhibitions can only lower, so the only way to keep them high is to avoid "casual" sexy situations. There are 1 or 2 exceptions in the entire game, but they aren't repeatable, and usually are tied to refusing certain events.

As for willpower and intelligence, there are a few ways:
1) Training with Carla in the Bazaar rises HP at first, but after a certain number your health won't increase anymore, raising your willpower instead;

2) If you buy Lea as a slave, she can sing for you and that raises both WIL and INT;
3) If you have become a noble and fixed the mansion's 2nd floor, you have a relaxation room there to recover some WIL everyday;
4) The hypnotist at the circus can increase WIL and INT, but the effects reduce with each use and eventually you start losing stats, so be careful;

For intelligence:
1) You can study at libraries;
2) Lea can sing for you (as mentioned above);
3) The hypnotist can help as well (again, as mentioned above).

These should be the main ways you have at your disposal. There are some items you can use to temporarily boost your stats, but lose some once the effect wear off, and in the next public update there will be some one-off items to increase/decrease INT and WIL as well (although they aren't so easy to find).
