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?
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_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:

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:
Here, I tried some other dialog options...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## 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.
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.

Another thing I just noticed:
If you need to scroll down to read the whole text and you then press either the settings or saves button while being on the bottom of the page, the popup windows that open are not visible to you. It appears that they are anchored to the top of the text (box?) area. It is bothersome but not game breaking. It should be possible to have them always open at a certain place on the screen instead. If you find the time, code and energy to do that, it would be much appreciated. If not, that's ok too. Just thought you might want to know...as it seemed like something that is most likely not intentional, but instead a bug of some sort.
So disappointed... Whoever this MC chick is, I couldn't care less, and quite frankly, if Keldran interested in her then I'm definitely not interested in him. What happened to my MC from the Academy Carols!? What happened to the "I will never forget you"!? What happened to the promises?! What happened to the love!?
When my old MC received the letter back without it ever reaching Keldran and Keldran disappearing to the thin air, do you really think he would have just let it be and forgot all about Keldran and not turn ever stone in the existence to find him?! Yeah, no...he absolutely would not have rested before he found him. As for Keldran...I don't think he would have disappeared without contacting the original MC, as he didn't seem like a total A-hole. Ugh.
Why not do an actual sequel and keep the familiar characters around? I'm sorry but I just can't like this game, as character vice it feels like betrayal. This feels less like a sequel and more like a spin-off, or a restart. And since I'm already invested in the original story, all this does is rub me the wrong way.
I am a woman. Being a woman sucks...big time. Being physically inferior, pretty much bleeding to death once a month, having to stress the F out of getting pregnant...all things that games extremely rarely take into account. Plus, I just don't get women...besides the things mentioned above, I struggle to find anything in common with any of them. Now, being stuck being a female in real life...why the heck would I wanna play as one in a game!? If I am going to escape the reality, I wanna do with style and as the perfected version of myself. What can I say, being a tomboy I just feel more connected to the male MCs. If I was male, I would 100% be gay. The only game where a female protagonist is a must, and that is only because the female VA is just so much better than the male...and well, Garrus, is the Mass Effect trilogy.
Da starts talking to you, but you can't understand what he's saying. Everything has become sort of muffled and hazy.
He sits you down on a chair and gently cups your face in his hands as he stoops down before you. His voice is soft and you finally notice there are tears in his eyes too; they make the blue hues within the hazel come out more.
You finally break from your stupor as Da hugs you close, and rocks you side to side as he speaks softly. He's saying 'I'm sorry' over and over.

As you can see, the same text appears twice.
Let's just say that I may or may not have read through the Original a few times too many LOL It's not like I know it by heart...not all of it anyway... <3
It is a good story, and the extended ending was a nice a touch, so thank you for that <3 ...though I have to admit I always pictured my MC's and Heron's bedroom roles being the other way around...
"Always have, always will. I will follow him anywhere," he smiles wryly, "even out of The City."
--> This is incorrect, I think. We are staying not leaving. It should say, if I remember correctly from the Original Version, something like "even to rebellion."
