Yes, thank you. Seems to be working fine now.

First I was using Itch.io App and the game didn't work, so then I downloaded the game file and tried to launch it straight from the .exe but that didn't work either. The traceback.txt error list is the same in both occations.

I was trying to launch the game, but the nothing happened besides the traceback.txt popping up.

No problem. Happy to help.

### BUG REPORT ###

In the passage Check -- it show all this extra space after the choices.

=> You can avoid that by wrapping the code that is located beneath the choices in <<silent>>  <</silent>> .

In the passage Check -- the link Yes brings you back to the passage ROGenders. Seems unnecessary repetition, since to get there you have already chosen and accepted the RO's genders.

=> Maybe remove the Pronouns link from the passage ROGenders and instead the Yes link in the Check passage could bring you straight into the passage pros instead.

In the passage Prologue -- there are to code errors.

=> <<set $HerHis to "Her"> -- needs one more > to the end.

=> <<set $HerHis to "His"> -- needs one more > to the end.

=> both <<set $herhis to "her"> and <<set $herhis to "his> have the same error as above, so just add the > to those two also.

In the passage Prologue_2 -- the variable $HerHis is just that, the variable, not the word.

=> The problem is probably the previous error, but the fact that the variable is attached to the " could also causes the engine to read is as a words instead of a variable. So if the problem isn't fixed by fixing the previous error then try putting a space between the " and the $.

In the passage “Leave her alone!” you shout, blocking her with your body. -- There is "him birthday" instead of "his birthday".

=> Instead of the variable $her try using $herhis.

In the passage “No! Please!” You fight back tears as you hold onto Reina’s body. -- There is "him room" and "him face" instead of "his room" and "his face".

=> Instead of the variable $her try using $herhis.

In the passage Prologue 10 -- the variable $herhis is just that, the variable, not the word.

=> The problem is the previously mentioned error in the passage Prologue.

Hint : 

car-charm

(don't want to outright give away the answer and spoil  anyone's the fun...of pulling out one's hair and screaming to the screen in a rageful, desperation filled frustration...however. if the answer remains shrouded in mystery, I can provide more hints, so let me know)

...no idea, based on what logic, one is suppose to derive the conclusion...but there you have it...

...is someone figures out the logic behind it, I would love to hear it...

A "cosmetic error" in CH1P8.4 :

"Back?" Maud's expression shifts through several emotions too fast to track. "

: in a form of an accidental quotation mark in the end of the sentence.

Is the code on CH1P2.1 :

You take 
Energy Drink

<<link "Energy Drink">>
<<set $drinkChoice to "energy drink">>
<<run setup.setTrait('calculated', ($deflecting || 50) - 1)>>
<<goto "CH1P2.2">>
<</link>>

: corrent?

Or should it be :

<<link "Energy Drink">>
<<set $drinkChoice to "energy drink">>
<<run setup.setTrait('calculated', ($calculated || 50) - 1)>>
<<goto "CH1P2.2">>
<</link>><

: ?

Also is it intentional that choosing coffee and the Jake "Something's eating you.."-conversations take way from Intuition and add to Methodical?

##BUG REPORT##

Spelling mistake in CH1P20.Theory1_DrinkSuccess.

 Maud grins. Picks up her glass. "Told you $firstNameC's clever."

No big deal, just missing a space between a variable and the following word.

No problem, always happy to help ❤️

I wouldn't call myself tech savvy, but I do dabble LOL I'm better acquainted with Twine than Renpy...but trial and error.

Not sure what caused the problem (the unwanted .rpy file) but after deleting it the game seems to working fine (so far at least).

There is only one game folder and at first the game would only open .txt file, not Renpy. I doubt the problem was caused by the remains of an older version...but of course I could be wrong. I am using the Itch.io App though...so problem might be related to that.

I tried removing the 00layereditimage.rpy instead, and the game is working.

I tried removing the 00layereditimage_ren.py and this the traceback for the error that followed (but now at least it initially launched Renpy):

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code:

Uuuh...thanks for the info! I'll need to do a total rerun at some point to see what options are currently hiding from me.

No problem, always happy to help! Sorry about the confusion...I should have been more precise when describing the bug, and I definitely should have mentioned where I found it.

Just tested the new version and now it works like a charm...at least the route I chose.

** I tried a different way of doing things : I chose to go straight to Matt, after which I was sent to Diego, after which the patch came to an end and totally missed the "wandering" part... Just to make sure, is that how it's suppose to work? Same thing happens if I chose to go to Diego first.**

Thanks for the great game. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see where you'll go with it. Loved the training session "mini-game"...though the total randomness of it did cause some grey hair...me being a perfectionist and all LOL

I tried opening the game straight from the file without using Itch.io App, and unfortunately the problem persists.

Here are my dialog choices (shortened to avoid spoilers) in order:

• Wander around...
• Go and see...
• Stay... 
•  What is... 
•  Try to... 
•  Ask... 
•  Are you really... 
•  Leave... 
•  What exactly...

## BUG REPORT ##

Endless Loop

* I first chose to wander around, then the game send to me to Matt, then to Diego, then back to Matt, then again to Diego, then back to Matt, ... *

=> I tried different dialog options and finally after a few rounds of going around I managed to get out of the loop by chance, by choosing totally different dialog options when talking with Matt

P.S. I'm using the Itch.io App, in case it makes a difference.

I keep getting an error when I try to update the game:

:I'm using the Itch.io App, in case that makes a difference.

What does "Did you cheat in the labyrinth?" refer to ???

Agreed

Unfortunately, at least I have no definite answer for that. It is always risky to download anything into your computer... However, while using Itch.io, and more precisely the Itch.io App, you can unable itch.io sandbox (Preferences --> Security & privacy) and while it is not perfect and does not actually prevent you from downloading malware, it does at least attempt to minimize the potential harm they can cause.

If someone smarter has a better solution, I'm all ears.

For this,” you gesture at her. “For keeping an eye on me for the past couple of days. I know you think it’s your duty because you want to be a doctor but thank you anyway.” “For one thing, I’m going to be a doctor,” she stresses, “secondly, I did this because you’re you. Not because you’re just anyone.” You feel your cheeks grow warm. It’s hard to handle such brutal honesty about love towards you. Nia says it as if it were just a fact of life. That of course she would do this, there isn’t any thought of her ever doing anything else. <<if $Niaforgiveness > 14>>\ You two eye each other, truly look at each other. Maybe it’s because you’re sick that you’re too tired to look away and she feels she can be as vulnerable as you feel. Synchronicity in someone feeling as bad as you look in feverish delirium. She precipitously stands up, turning around and walking to the window, her heeled boots the only loud sound in the room. She crosses her arms as she stands there, bent straight and head slightly tilted back. “I was… am scared of you,” she admits. It doesn’t shock you as much as you would think. Every one is scared of you which is why you’re treated the way that you are. She just proved to not an exception. <<if $Esteem == "Worth">>\ “That’s not really that surprising,” you reply. <<elseif $Esteem == "Worthless">>\ “I know.” <</if>>\ “I thought I could handle it,” she says softly, mostly to herself. “I guess I stupidly thought it wasn’t as bad as people said it was. I never saw one of your… fits before. Then Orla…” she trails off. Her head tilts forward. “I thought I was strong. You think you’re so invincible when you’re sixteen don’t you? You watch some horror movies, some medical documentaries, your mom leaves you and your dad scares the shit out of you and you think you can handle anything,” she says thickly. “Yeah,” you say, although you can’t say you ever thought you were that strong. You just kept going without ever stopping to think about what it took to go through all you’ve been through. “I stopped knowing how to handle you. Fuck, that sounds horrible,” she inhales. She takes a lock of her hair in her finger. She snorts, “I’ve been horrible. Do you know how shitty it feels to want to save lives but knowing that I didn’t join this investigation for the missing girls, or the dead girls and boys? I did it for a completely self-interested reason. What morals do I have to stand on?” “Nia?” “I stopped knowing how to take care of you when you got worse. I thought I was strong enough to hold you, to carry you if necessary while you wanted to tear the world apart but I was weak and I’m sorry I didn’t call. I’m sorry I didn’t write. I’m sorry I wasn’t there. I’m sorry I wasn’t your best friend. I’m sorry if you thought I hated you. I’m sorry because for a moment I believed I did,” she says in a voice that sounds too shaky to be the girl you know. She looks over her shoulder at you and perhaps it’s the fever but her eyes look glassy. The winter light outlines her, lighting her coils and she looks angelic. “I’m sorry because I believe I did what was right for me. But I didn’t do it the right way. Even if I had…” she stops and fully turns to you.
