For some reason, the mac build does not seem to work from Itch but only on Steam. Please email us at contact@veritablejoystudios.com so we can give you a Steam code. 

Hi, please resend and put “Itch.io help” in the subject line. 

Best,

Hi! Please email us at contact@veritablejoystudios.com. We may have to give you a steam version since you have an older version of a mac. 

the demo can be found here https://validategame.itch.io/vdate-demo

The solution that worked was to extract with 7zip/winrar or somethign similar

No sorry you would have to buy it separately since we do not have the games connected via said platforms.

It is on sale right now for 69% off!

Please email us at contact@veritablejoystudios.com with all of your issues.

What platform and what bugs?

What do you mean by on trial mode?

Hi, you have an option to play as Malik, Inaya, Isabelle and Emhari in the first volume. Each character has 5 dating/friend options and an Intro and an Epilogue route with a total of 7 routes per character in a linear story-telling format. Malik and Inaya are initially unlocked and you have to play through Malik’s intro to unlock Isabelle’s routes, and Inaya’s intro unlocks Emhari’s routes. 

The remaining 9 characters will be unlockable in future DLCs

Hello! We are looking into this to see if we can make a version that's compatible with your version of MacOS.

Can you please send an email to contact@veritablejoystudios.com with the subject line "PC blank screen" so we can further assist you?

Hi, can you please go into your save data (validate: struggling singles in your area -> naninovel data -> saves) and delete the last save file you made? It should be named "GameSave###". Do NOT delete the global or settings file.

Hi can you email us at contact@veritablejoystudios.com so we can help you further. 

Hello! We just uploaded a new version of the Mac build. Please download and let us know if you run into any issues!

If you select “Do this for all current items” and then skip, game should work!

We just uploaded a new Mac build! Please update and tell us if you are still running into these issues! Thank you.

Hi! Mac or PC?

A bit confused here, if you had purchased on this account, every time you refresh this page the download link should be there. 

Thank you! Our game is currently on sale on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1319850/ValiDate_Struggling_Singles_in_your_A...

Sorry only PC and consoles for now!

That was a mistake on our part! It has been fixed! Thank you for pointing it out!

That is really unfortunate! We are uploading a new build pretty soon so look out for that. Maybe that will work. :)

That’s weird! Please try redownloading or download on Steam at steam.validategame.com !

Thank you for playing our demo! Our intro is skipable, please see the button mappings on the Itch page. You skip with esp. 

The end card titles are written like that and are unique to each character. Some characters will have different quirks and the way they type!

Also Ctrl doesn’t skip text because this game is no longer in Renpy, it’s in Unity  We are constantly playing around with controls, please see the button guide for reference!

All the other feedback is much appreciated! Again, this is a demo and many of the things you mentioned will be fixed up for the full game. 

Thank you for playing!💗

I already replied to a comment you left on another comment. If it doesn't work please reply to this one! 

Hey, once you get to this screen, you must click through to continue to the route itself. You can either left click or press spacebar.

PC only for now!

Great! Sorry about that, if it happens again just hit escape to skip the intro and you shouldn’t have that issue anymore. :)

Thank you for pointing this out! We're going to attempt to get this fixed!

Hi! We are having some issues with our mac build on Itch.Io but we have been told our Steam Mac build is working. Please play it here! http://steam.validategame.com/

Hi! So we will have 13 playable characters, in the first volume there will only be four characters to play as and you can meet the other 9 characters by playing through all of their routes. We have two more volumes with four characters each planned for release in the next two years plus DLC for our last character. 

In each volume, there will be a chance to play as one of the four characters. Each character will have 7 total routes (1 intro and 1 epilogue and 5 date/friend routes) so you will meet every character at least once in the first volume.

ValiDate is a visual novel about thirteen struggling singles navigating through soul-sucking 9-to-5s, quarter-life crises, and the harsh truths millennials learn as soon as they hit their 20’s. 

Set in the Jercy City area, our cast of lovers trudge through the dregs of capitalism - a journey, a transition - a rite-of-passage that leads into uncertain mid-adulthood. On one side but not yet out on the other, 13 playable characters find romance amongst cosplay, trash mixtapes, and even poetry straight from the soul.

With over 30 routes to choose from and hours of content, the lives of these singles are in your good (or bad!) decision-making hands.
