itch.io

hi! i answered in the comment above already, but i honestly can't figure out where the problem originates. you should be able to download and play it without issue on pc, but if none of the previous solutions work (zooming out, checking cookies if they're disabled) then yes, mobile version or playing right in the browser might work better! 💕

hi! i'm honestly not sure where this problem originates, since the only thing i've edited before this problem started coming up was adding the art to the start screen, but it seems like you can "get past" the start screen before the problem really appears.

besides zooming out (maybe try ctrl +/-? i'm not sure how to zoom out on a downloaded game either)have you checked if your cookies are disabled? otherwise it might be better to try on mobile or playing right in your browser instead of a download.

hopefully, i'll be able to fix this in a next version of the game, but right now that's unfortunately all the help i can offer 😔

💕 thank you 💕

thank you, i'm glad i've managed to pique your interest! i've been on a bit of an extended break from The Moonless, but am getting back in the swing of writing again so hopefully i won't disappoint with the continuation! 

no trouble at all, i'm sorry i couldn't be of more help! i hope it worked out for you! 💖

hi again! unfortunately, i can't recreate the issue you're having or find a solution for it. have you tried playing the game directly in your browser? it might be the esiest way to get it to work 💖

hello! that sounds familiar to the issue a couple of other players have been having, which was solved by zooming out or checking to see if cookies are disabled on your web browser! 💕

if neither works, please let me know what browser you're using, so i can look into it!

💖💖💖

thank you for your kind words! 💖 i am dealing with a bit of writer's block (and lately bg3 brainrot) but getting comments like these does amazing things to keep me motivated! 💖

thank you! i'm so happy you enjoyed it! 💖

that's great, i'm so happy it helped! 💖

hi! that's very odd, but it sounds familiar to the issue a couple of other players have been having, which was solved by zooming out or checking to see if cookies are disabled on your web browser.

if neither of those options work for you, could you let me know what browser you're using to play the game with, and maybe it'll help me find another solution?

thank you! 💖 i'm happy it made you have emotions 🥹

thank you for your kind words! 💖 

thank you! it makes me really happy to hear i managed to convey those feelings! 💖

thank you 💖 it was so much fun playing with twine and figuring out how to use even simple coding like the cycling links to work in harmony and enhance the poem's narrative!

thank you! that was what i wanted to portray, both a bit the slow decay of a friendship, but mostly how much it can hurt when it does end 💔

😭 💖

thank you! it makes me super happy to hear you enjoyed it! 💖

😭 that is the best compliment! 💖

that's great that it worked out! i'll keep this in mind for future updates so maybe it can be avoided if i rewrite the code for the UI a bit, or at least i'll have a possible solution if anyone else has the same problem!

hi! i was able to recreate the issue (assuming it was following an error message regarding "no valid storage adapters found") and it seems like the issue is that either your web browser version might be too old to support the local storage functionality required by SugarCube engine, OR you've got cookies disabled on your web browser.

i'd try enabling cookies (cookies may be automatically disabled if you're using google chrome's incognito mode) and test it out again, but if you're still having problems, please let me know, and i'll see what i can do! 💖

hello again! i managed to recreate the issue (assuming you received an error message that said, "Apologies! A fatal error has occurred. Aborting. Error: no valid storage adapters found.") 

the most likely issue seems to be that you're either using a web browser version that's too old to support the local storage functionality required by the SugarCube engine, OR you've got cookies disabled on your web browser (cookies seem to be automatically disabled for google chrome's incognito mode).

i'd try enabling cookies and test it again, but if you're still having problems, please let me know and i'll see what i can do!

hi, that's very odd! i'm not encountering any issues when i test it, would you mind telling me what browser you're using and if you're on desktop or mobile?

thank you! i might have taken a bit long between release and this next update (trying to balance work as a teacher and writing this and everything else in life proved to be not as easy as i had thought), but i have no plans to abandon this game! i will continue to chug on with it at my own pace and am happy to hear people are willing to wait for it to continue! 💖

hi! it's not abandoned, i've just had a hard time balancing every day life with working on this, but i am working on it still, and am hoping to have an update out with the rest of the prologue at the start of summer! 💖

hi! i'm so happy you enjoyed it! as for the height, absolutely feel free to  headcanon a specific height for your mc, though i will warn you that the game will generally think of a very short mc to be around the same height as Silas (6'1)/taller than Khalida (5'7), since 5'6 would be tiny for a moonless,  but when it comes to Rainn, being 5'6 or 6'1 isn't much of a difference to their massive 8'2 💖

hi! you can save your progress by going into the menu in the bottom right corner - from there you can save to the browser (although these will disappear if you delete your browser history) or you can save to your desktop! more story is being written and prepare for even more ridiculous height differences in the future! 👀💕

Thank you so much! There's definitely more to come, especially since summer break is almost here and I'll have a lot more time to write! ♥️

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, that shouldn't be happening! Definitely make sure to patch that for the next update! ♥️

Thank you so much!  I really do hope that your friends enjoy the gender and pronoun customization, as it's something I myself feel is really important to include, rather than simply just male/female and then non-binary as an umbrella term for any other gender presentation/identity, even if that's not the focus of the game ♥️

Hi! Thank you so much for the feedback! I'll definitely look over what you've mentioned for the next update! 

I'm not sure if the amount of text in the beginning you're talking about is the summary before the story starts (that's definitely something I'm looking to trim down a bit!) or if you meant the actual story, because then it might just be something to get used to? Either way, I'll look over it myself and see if maybe I can divide up some passages at the start to ease into it a bit more!

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention, I'll definitely make sure to get this fixed for the next update! No point in having eight save slots if they make the save to disk/load options disappear.

Thank you for the kind words! There's a save button under the menu (located in the lower right corner of the screen, you can also find the settings and the restart buttons there, and profile and codex will be added in the next update!)

There'll be Rainn who's a moonless RO, Mal/Malik/Malika, Silas and Khalida are human ROs and The Unknown One is a secret until you find out in-game what species he is!

Thank you so much! It makes me so happy to hear that you enjoy it! ♥️

Oh good, cause I could not recreate the issue myself lmao!

Hi! I’m not entirely sure if you meant you can’t type anything in the game, but I will check to make sure it’s not a bug! ♥️

thank you, i’m so happy the “giants” lured you in! ♥️

Thank you so much, I'm so happy you enjoyed it! ♥

Thank you so much, I can't wait to share the continuation with you!
