Well for me it works again (version 0.7.3), so it's not a lie in that sense. Apparently others are not as lucky. I know how you feel, as I've felt the same with version 0.7.2 which crashed every two minutes. I hope it will be fixed for you as well at some point.

I was thinking. Some developers decided to chop up their games in parts if it got to big for phone users. Perhaps chopping it up in chapter 1 to 4 (part 1) and chapter 5 to 7 (part 2) or something might resolve the memory issue. Just an idea. It might make the size more manageable of each part (and below the maximum size without sacrificing too much quality).
I'll be giving this version a go. Thank you.
Edit: First try. Well... after a couple of minutes (yes, minutes once again) it showed the "let's take a moment to calibrate your screen" message and.... crashes.
Second try. After a couple of minutes again it showed the same message, and this time I was able to get past it, reaching the main menu of the game. Fingers crossed I'll be able to keep playing, but it seems to be running (for) now.
Edit part two: It runs, but it also crashes every couple of minutes or so. It's very unstable and every time I restart it's back to waiting minutes of loading the main menu. It's an improvement as the game will actually run, but compared to the previous build I had on my phone it's a huge step backwards. I could play that version hours on end without any crashes.
Thank you for the reply. I've loved your game and have been playing each and every release for the last couple of years (multiple times). I really wanted to dive into this one, looking forward to all the new story beats. Tried the android version, but regretably that one won't even load (it shows the game's logo and then nothing for minutes on end). Used to work and load without any problems before, but I guess the game is getting to big for my phone (or it's another problem) :( . When it rains it pours I guess. Maybe it's best to wait for the final release and see if all the issues with renpy and the virus scanners are resolved by then.
No problem. One dev I've been following was targeted, and he had to remove all images and videos from his twine game. He was using shots from real porn actors. This could have been one of the reasons. One game of his was removed entirely from this platform. If one game is targeted more can follow. Therefore the headsup.

Tried it.. uninstalled it after the first 5 minutes. Not only is the textbox in the apk version smaller than the text, the text is pure white without a black outline, meaning it's completely unreadable infront of light and white backgrounds.
Besides that it starts of almost exactly as two other VN games; Harem Hotel and Mythic Manor. Perhaps it will become it's own thing later on, but it felt to samey and unoriginal for my liking that I no longer was interested. Best of luck, but personally I'm gonna skip this one.
I think the android version of the game might be broken. In the past I was able to move the story forward by using Pixie's hints, but now a certain event won't trigger. It's meeting the landlady for the first time. I need to go for a walk and return home during the day, but no matter how many times I try it won't trigger. I can't continue the game :(
The reason why they are all seperate is due to the android (.apk) version of the game. These are only based on the specific version (female/male/futa/gay/lesbian/brothel) due to size limitations for mobile devices. The pc version doesn't have that limitation and has all content and is always the same version on every page..
Bought it, tried it... the story is cute and all as are the "girls", but I'm not feeling it... :-/
And no, that's not lingo for something naughty, you degenerates (XD).
I guess I'm more used to games in which you can spend time with all the romanceable options (true harem games). It has a harem route, sure, but you would be missing out on some good character interactions. Never been a fan of the multiple routes and being locked out of others. But that's just me.
Also wished that the intimate scenes had some form of animation and naughty SFX.
One major plus though: no censorship (yay!)
I've just finished the game. That was a lot of content, it surprised me. Best girl is Sinerva due to having the best backstory and character arc. If there is one flaw (ok, there's more than one) it's the inconsistency of the main character. In one scene he tells one of the loveinterests "I've never lied in my life" and in the next scene he lies to the girls... that kinda irked me a bit, but you (and the MC) did acknowledge it later on in the game (and he becomes more consistent). One other thing is that all the girls are like, "oh, he's so dreamy and handsome... I want his baby!" right away when they meet the MC, making them seem shallow (perhaps it has something to do with the markings on their bellies). I know it's a power fantasy, but I do wish there was a bit more realistic romantic development, instead of "ooooh, he gives me a girl boner and I'm lonely." Not always the case for some of them (Sinerva comes to mind, but like I said, best character arc), but it's for most of them.
And I can't believe I'm saying this, but there are too many girls... and more and more are keep getting introduced (boom, and welcome to the harem, we don't know who you are but welcome to the group). That means not all of them are getting the character development they deserve (besides slightly more advanced background characters). Sometimes it feels like "too many cooks", but in this case it's "too many waifus".
The game feels like it's reaching its climax and there are still girls who haven't had their full character arc yet. Unless there is way more to come... I do hope so. If not, then there are simply put too many girls. Perhaps it would be interesting to see if there will be casualties. I know it's mean to say that I want characters to be killed off, but storywise it would be an interesting development (for the MC as well). Gives the story more danger, gravitas and stakes and such (if I was in the writers chair, I would probably do something like that, but that's me). All in all, I did enjoy it.
7/10 (4 stars)

Like the concept, love the freedom but hate the grinding. I do hope you will consider giving the people on itchio a chance to buy the unlocked Patreon version on this website. For example you could give us two versions, one that is free but does not have all the goodies and content, and one you need to pay for with each new release for a certain amount and get all the available content in that build. I would buy that in a heart beat. Just an idea. Personally I refuse to give Patreon money.

I wish you and your close ones strength and all the best in the world. Hope you'll be able to get your lifes back in order and on track. Take time for yourself, the game and us can wait. Just be careful what you share online about personal stuff and details of it. Even though I get that you want to update us about the why's and I appriciate it, keep in mind that most of us are still strangers on the internet. Share enough, but not too much is what I'm saying. It can be a double edged sword at times and perhaps not always the best course. Keep that in mind as a concerned advice from me to you. Stay strong, brother.
Welcome to the internet. No matter what you do, people will always hate you for it. Self censorship is not the way to go. Just give ingame options to toggle said content on/off and leave it to the user. That way everyone wins. Never cave in for your own creations. There will ALWAYS be haters no matter what you do.
There are a lot of unfinished ideas in the game. The scrolls however are used in crafting and strengthening the defence of your portal once the queen begins attacking you. But that's only if you mess up and let her get to your homebase portal, which never ever happened in my playthrough as my defenses where to strong for her. No challenge.
