I've not heard of anyone else experiencing this with this game but this sort of behaviour is usually seen when there's a memory leak or related issues. 

Personally, I'd advise running the game straight instead of through a specific version of Ren'py since it hasn't been tested on other versions and there may be incompatible changes as well. Shift+G can also be used to try using a different renderer and seeing if that helps.

If you're not getting the gift then you either don't have enough romance by Christmas or haven't seen all of his dreamscapes by that point. For romance you might have missed one of his side events (the 5+ grey dreamscape - where you feel someone watching) or if you have not seen one of his dreamscapes early enough then you might need to get more of his affection raising scenes to unlock it in time. Some of the easier to miss ones for affection are research ones.

Do you mean as a let's play? Sure :)

Some people are really squicked by the idea so we figured if we're going to do content warnings we might as well add it in.

Unfortunately not, but if anyone wants to translate it into other languages, we would welcome it.

Google translate: Infelizmente não, mas se alguém quiser traduzi-lo para outros idiomas, será bem-vindo

We updated the build a little while ago to take care of that actually!

Glad you enjoyed it!

there’s game trivia about the ML’s in the extra section if you’ve completed both routes 👀

Not really sure what caused it to terminate the transfer, but the file should be fixed now!

Please try to download it now :)

Hahahaa, I can't believe we didn't catch that. Thank you for letting us know!

The wait may just be shorter than you think ;)

Thank you!

Hello, that is part of the pc/Linux option.

I've not come across this issue before and am looking into it. Does it not work at all or at specific points? 

And if you load a save does it still not work?

There are tabs at the bottom for navigation. The one for Zane specifically is:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CjKGkKfTB3aXmScImrjptJ_K2RbyADv-1aB_B5uN...

If you scroll to the bottom of the tab you can also see the amount of affection required for each end.

Sounds like your affection isn't high enough. Check out the affection part of the guide for the choices that raise affection or replay with the affectionate trait (gained from the going back to normal end).

Have you bought all of the items related to him and seen those scenes? Prior to the route split/school closing, most of Liam's scenes require that it be a weekend to trigger due to his work+Cody but after that the requirements should relax a bit.

Dreamscapes from 4-5 require that you are already on his route and have seen certain events beforehand.

You can check the guide for more concrete requirements.

I hope this helps!

That's a missable CG related to the spoiler character. You need to go the park when he's about 4-5 parts melted. There might be some Garret or Mick scenes that have higher priority but once you've done them, you should see his symbol there if the requirements are complete. (If you need further help, check out the guide for the only scene spoiler gets at the park)

That sounds like the sandcastle CG. To get it you must be raising the romance/melting level of both Liam and Mick and then meet both of them at the beach on a weekend before the route choice. A prerequisite is to have already met Mick at the beach.

Yep - 6th time, because you must have seen the grey dreamscape >4 (i.e 5) times at minimum during that playthrough first.

Congrats on getting the ending!

Liam is a bit harder because - due to his job + Cody he can only be found at certain places during the weekends during the day/afternoon before school closes.

For the Liam/Mick Beach scene you have to advance Mick's scenes quite fast (so that you would have seen him at the beach) with enough time to have another weekend morning to trigger the scene. And still enough time to trigger the jealousy scene between them if you want that too>_>

Jealousy requires that they both have high romance/melting (and spoiler: will force you to choose between them and refreeze/lock the other).

Both of these scenes have a cut off of the day Osiria asks who you like so it's usually easier to trigger one chain of jealousy events at a time than try to raise the levels of the 3 boys simultaneously. (Also because watching one will  lock one of the guys and thus make another combination impossible)

Hope this helps!

I'm not actually sure how to start a DM on discord ^^'. So it might be better for you to contact me instead Corynth#1307

Oh wait - I think it's fixed now. Just took a while to show up for some reason.

I see there's a drop down arrow there at install - can you see if there are any other options besides the demo? I'm not sure why, but it does show up if you click the gear/settings instead of instal 

Yep - We release guides a week after the game releases to give players a chance to get a feel for the game without it first. And prevent certain things being spoiled right from the start :)

That is strange. When you open it and go to the preferences Menu -> Help -> About, what version does it say?

Guide will be released a week after the game's release. If you cannot wait, you can always join the discord for some tips from those who have completed it :)

Thank you!

Glad to hear you're enjoying it even with the bad end! 

We're planning to release the guide in a week.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Sadly, Mira's LI cannot be chosen (Mira and her hubby are away on a second honeymoon for the entirety of CO lol). Mira's LI is also not explicitly stated so it can be whoever you wish.

Emma's will also not make an appearance but the choice is there to ensure that her sprite is consistent with the end of VO/the revelation in the VO Fan Book/extras if you chose the count.

This is exactly how we felt when we realised XD

If all goes well... Soon.

Wish us luck!

Sorry for the late reply!

You just paste in inside the folder named "game" and it should kick in.

It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed the game!

Regarding the BGs, we do wish we could have been more consistent with them but at that time we were relying on what we could find freely available or as an asset pack which led to many differing BG sources. We would like to update them at some point, but we are prioritising making new games so there's no guarantee if or when that will be possible.

You can check out the walkthrough for the ways to get max points on the puzzles HERE

We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the game!

As for Mira's name we just thought it Cosgrove was pretty and had the requisite C to make Mira's initals MC (We've been theme naming the initial Main Characters as a reference to them being the MC lol).

We didn't make the connection to the actress ^^'. By the time it was brought to our attention it was already too late to change it.
So yeah, there's no inside joke. She just happens to have the same name.

We're glad you enjoyed them!

We're hoping to finish CO this year, but not 100% sure on that because it depends on how much time we both have. Fingers crossed though!

Thank you for the kind words!

We do have plans for more games after Christmas Otome! We've got another game in this series to do, but before that we want to take some time and work on a darker sequel for Flying Lessons where they all grown up for a change of pace.

We're super slow so it'll probably be a long time before we have anything to show for them though.

It's still in the works. We're just slow ^^;

This year kind of knocked us for a six.

Ah, okay. The missing Kiron CG (6th) is from his "Fallen Hero" end while the counterpart to the Daire CG  (Kiron's 7th CG) is from the "Things Left Unsaid" end.

The exact requirements for those ends can be find at this point of the guide:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CjKGkKfTB3aXmScImrjptJ_K2RbyADv-1aB_B5uN...

Sorry, I'm not sure I understood the query. Did a CG unlock at the wrong time?

If possible, please provide additional information such as a screenshot and what steps were taken to encounter the issue? Also if you were using the patch or not?
