itch.io

Hey @TheGeektective! My apologies, I somehow missed your comment here and only noticed a notification just now, while I was checking our itch.io builds. Thank you for following Minotaur all this time (and for your kind words about the story) ♡ You're absolutely right, out goal is to finally release the full game next year, so I hope you continue looking forward to it and enjoy the remaining routes once they're out!

Cheers!

Nick

Hi kawosz20! Sorry for replying to your comment so late... We were waiting until we know the exact release date ourselves, but we're still not sure yet. However, we'll make sure to post an update about it soon! We also plan to fix the install issue here on itch.io when we upload the new build, so for the meantime (if you're still interested in checking the demo out) you can download it directly from our website. Cheers : ) 

Hi Amos! Sorry for the late reply... As you can see, we've decided to take the "wait long enough approach" :D  But seriously, thanks for the advice. We'll be updating builds soon with a new demo and EA release, and we'll make sure to use butler for both!

Hi wallach! Thanks a lot for letting us know and describing the issue in detail : ) We've had this problem before (we believe it was you who told us about it, actually!) and thought we dealt with it, but you're probably right and our solution didn't withstand the test of client update. We know what to do to fix it more, er, permanently, though, so thanks again for bringing it to our attention!

Thanks again, Raithias! Ollie will definitely be there :)

Hi Raithias! Well, better late than never, ha-ha :D Thank you for letsplaying! We're glad that you loved Ollie (we do, too!); hope you'll be back for next release!

Hi TheSassJacket! Glad you enjoyed the demo, and thank you for a letsplay : )

Hi RayVenCain! Of course - it's "Arctic Futures" by Rex Sanderson and Michael Hopcroft. We're glad that you liked it : )

Hi dembaku72! Thank you : ) The music is "Waiting on a Dream" by Rusty Bradshaw. It's a great chill-out track, we're glad you liked it!

Hi JB! Thank you for a letsplay, we're glad you liked the game : )

Hi TheKIngTwizz, thanks for checking Minotaur out! Kickstarter campaign is over, but we appreciate your LP, and we're glad that you like the game :-)

Hi HelBeard! Thanks for checking Minotaur out. Unfortunately, first boss battle happens much later in the game, so we'd have to extend the demo considerably (isolating it would require a lot of work, too). However, we'll start testing alpha in a couple of months, and will record a bunch of videos from the game. Those will certainly include boss battles! Hope you'll check us out then. Cheers!

Hi wallach! I'm sorry we missed your comment... We're glad that you managed to play full demo, but we'll make sure to look into problem with itch.io version, so thanks for reporting it!

Not at all:-) We hope you'll be able to run the game!

Hi batmanisfab! This is a file from Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package. The package usually comes with game clients (such as Steam) and other software, but it's not included in this demo. If you want to play the demo and you don't have this package, you will need to do download and install it. Here's the link which covers most Windows versions.

Thank you, Zeeloo! We're glad that you were able to launch it. And even more so that you liked it :D We hope you'll play the full game once it's out!

No problem, Zeeloo! There might be some issues with itch.io client (we haven't sorted them out yet), so if you don't want to wait, I suggest downloading the game directly from our website (http://www.uof7.com/minotaur/), unpacking RAR and launching Minotaur021.exe

That should do the trick! But let us know if it doesn't.

Hi Zeeloo! Thank you for checking us out. Can you tell us which system you run (Windows or Mac + version), and whether you're trying to launch the game directly or by using itch.io client?

Hi wallach! You're right, there are supposed to be two chapters: Nod's and Maya's. Can you tell us where, exactly, does game end for you and how does it happen (do you return to menu or does game just quit)?

Hey ohbde, you probably figured it out already — you need a software like WinRAR to do it.

Hi, FireCatcher8585! Thank you for your comment... and especially for going an extra mile and voting for us on Steam:-)) A "dystopian wonderland" sounds like a great tagline, and we're happy that you liked the game. We wish you best of luck with your projects, too — let us know when you'll post a game on Steam!

Hi, Maineiacs! Thank you for your detailed comment and a great let's play. Hearing someone who plays a lot of VNs saying they like Minotaur means a lot! It's really cool that you remembered "The Spirits Within" (we also love that movie!), and that you took note of extras and even "About" section. We're happy that you liked the animations, and kudos on figuring out the puzzle! We hope you'll play next demos and full version once it comes out. Best of luck with your channel!
