itch.io

Yeah, let's hope they eventually do. For now, I'm looking into setting something else up. If all goes well, I should have it up and running within the next few days

Thanks for your messages, mate. I appreciate you trying to do damage control on here.

It does look like early access on Itch isn't too feasible, yes. I may substitute this with Ko-Fi or something like that, but for now, I'll keep it Patreon-only.

Who knows. Maybe by next update, I'll have changed my mind and will actually do the new update pages every time. I need to do some research into that before I decide anything, though, since it heavily depends on how it works under the hood, and whether I need to do all the tax business again for each page. I doubt it, because it'd still be under the main account, but with Itch, logic doesn't seem to always apply. Their individually priced files feature is kind of misleading, and they've dropped the ball with the whole Collective Shout nonsense as well, so I wouldn't put it past them to make new project pages incredibly hard to put up, too.

Anyway. I won't abandon Itch completely. Worst case, I'll just release the public/free version on here every time, and keep the project open at all times, with zero paywalls and an added Ko-Fi link or whatever. Because even putting it on "0$ or donate" hides the game in the search feature, which severely limits exposure to new people.

Yes, there is. In fact, there will only be free versions on Itch, going forward

There is no price tag. This was just a countermeasure on my end to prevent some stuff from happening, but it's gone now, and the new update will be freely available in 11 days, as usual

Not quite an oopsie and more of a stop-gap measure, but yes, no more early access on Itch. Thanks, mate

I did mean to do that, but it was temporary and it's gone now

No. Itch just sucks ass and the paywall was a stop-gap measure until I had figured out what to do. The game is and will always be free to play (the early access period after new updates excluded)

Hey man, thanks a ton! Super happy that you enjoy my game :)
Stay tuned for more updates, the next one coming sometime this month!

Oh damn, thanks a lot, mate! That's an amazing review. :)

I'll be the first one to admit that CH's early parts are a bit rough, but so far I prioritize new content over fixing early parts. Not sure that that's the best decision for the game's reach, since a bunch of potential players might get deterred by said early parts, but reworks tend to take a lot of time - time that can't be spent on new content, thus risking the current player base's satisfaction for the potential gain of new players. Maybe I'll cave eventually and offset one update to rework the early game, but for now, I don't have any plans in that direction.

Either way, thanks for your comment and for playing CH!

There are ways to export saves both on Android as well as PC/Linux/Mac. The methods differ, but it's possible. However, generally it also isn't required since the saves get carried over to new versions as long as they are on the same device - something you seemingly already discovered. :)

Glad you were able to find it :P

There is no official Spanish patch, correct

Yeah, sorry about that. Next time I'll use Pixeldrain to prevent that from happening :)

Thanks, mate. Happy to hear that you enjoyed the update :P

That's just itch's way of rejecting liability for whatever I offer, I assume. Glad you solved it, though

Sorry about that. Next time I'll use Pixeldrain on here (unless Itch has increased my file size limit by then) :P

Heh, yeah. The update is now publicly available. :)

Regarding your question: It's really hard to say and ultimately depends on whether I decide to make a sequel or end CH. If it's the former, the game could be done in a year or so. Otherwise, it's probably going to be another couple years at the least.
Or, in other terms, there will be at least one more chapter, and at most.. well, the sky's the limit, I guess. Technically, I have enough ideas and story in my back pocket to fill another 6-7 chapters, at the very least.

Thanks, amigo, glad you enjoyed it!

Heh, luckily you didn't make that bet, then. Though, to be fair, a lot of people speculated for her to be someone from Kuro's clan. I think the most prevalent guess was for her to be Maeve.

I don't think Lilith has ever really been described before, yeah. At least, I don't recall an instance of that, either. :P

Whaaaaat, MC essentially jinxing things by thinking that? Preposterous! That would never happen! 👀

I'd say wait for v0.45.0, cause that's kinda sorta the 2nd part of the same trip and it'd make more sense to cut at the end of the trip instead of the middle of it

That is the latest content, yes :)

I know right? I'm such a terrible person, what with my basic needs and all :D

Thanks for the offer; I appreciate it!
Honestly, so far I haven't really put much thought into what languages (besides my own - German) I'd want to make localizations for. Most likely the big ones, as well as some other, comparatively smaller ones. I could see Ukrainian being among those, but that's something I'll decide when the time comes.

Once we get there, I'll likely make a post (or several) about looking for people to help translate the game. At that point, I'll probably also provide the necessary tools. Though all of this is very theoretical and things may look vastly different at that point. We'll have to wait and see what happens when CH is done :)

I try to be, at least. Some people's behavior just gets to me :D

I'll keep that in mind, thank you! As it currently stands, any translations will have to wait until the game is done, though :)

Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

No worries, that's what the payments on here are for! The game itself is free, after all. If you're paying, you're paying for early access to new updates - which I appreciate tremendously, by the way :)

I assume you're referring to the first paragraph of this post?
If so, it's pretty much a copy-paste that I've been tossing in these posts for a while now. Technically still true, though, since I hadn't offered CH on itch.io in early access for years :P

Spanish jugs? I don't think we have any of those yet, but we got some pretty neat Irish and Scottish ones.

Jokes aside, I won't be adding any localizations before the game is done, due to a lack of time, among other things.

However, I know for a fact that there's at least one fan-made Spanish localization of the game out there. Can't give you a link, but it exists. May have to sail the high seas to get it, though. You'll figure it out, I'm sure!

Thanks, mate, will do!

The TL;DR of it is that he got upset because I didn't reply to him on here for a couple weeks after he'd asked about the update's progress (which is basically done, by the way; I'm about to post the release schedule).

He got all demanding and basically kept whining about my lack of communication, the increased dev time for the current update (apparently having missed that the update is going to be longer than usual), and ultimately being an entitled little shit. All of that across like 9 or 10 messages, the last of which (and the one my message was in reply to) being this:

Hehe <3

Thanks, mate, that means a lot.
Some people are just too stuck up their own asses to see what's happening around them, or that not everyone exists solely for their entertainment.

No worries, though - CH will be finished, no matter what. Unless I go tits up, of course, but I don't plan on doing that anytime soon. There may be phases where I need to slow down to recharge, because being creative on demand can be draining, but those should be far and few between - and honestly, they are necessary, so there's no way around them anyway. Just like everyone else's paid time off and sick leaves and whatnot.

Appreciate your comment. :)

Thanks, mate. Appreciate it!

Thanks, mate. It'll be worth the wait, and it won't be much longer.

At this point, I'm tempted to. May just send it out personally to anyone but him. But I guess he's tired of this shit anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Dude, what the hell is your problem?

First of all, I don't owe you an explanation, nor am I under any obligation to check this site for comments religiously. The fact that I did do so for the longest time was a choice on my behalf, because I think that's the correct way to do this.

If you'd stopped for a second and used your brain, you'd have maybe come to the conclusion that there might be a good reason why I've suddenly stopped, too. A reason that doesn't have to do with you, because, surprise, the world doesn't revolve around you.

You want to know why the latest content release is taking longer than usual? That's because the frickin' update is longer than usual. Something that I've communicated very clearly, multiple times, both on Patreon and on here. If you're incapable of reading, you may want to reconsider your choice of entertainment. Just saying.

The next update will come out when it's done. If you can't deal with that, feel free to fuck off.

The nerve of you, I swear. I've been nothing but consistent for YEARS at this point. Regular, high-quality updates; immediate bug-fixes if necessary; open communication. And THE SECOND I fail to keep that up (for personal reasons, because I've been sick for a while and had to take a few weeks off, which, surprise, happens at times, because I'm human, too) you go fucking mental, just because I don't reply to you? Because YOU refuse to use Patreon and Discord? The two platforms I've mentioned I use a lot more than itch.io?

You're ridiculous. People like you are the reason why so many developers burn out. The demands you're making are just ludicrous.

Thanks, glad you enjoy it!

It's not an intentional reference, no. I haven't played any of the Persona games before, so any references in that direction are purely coincidental lol

Very good. Not sure if reporting actually does anything, but it can't hurt. Keep it up :)

It's crazy, isn't it? Crazy annoying, too. I delete a few of them every day, but there's always more.

I'm glad to hear that it worked out in the end, and that you've been enjoying CH over the last few days :P
You're correct in assuming that Chapter 5 isn't out yet, but we're nearing the end of Chapter 4 :)

Hmm, I've never really interacted with the desktop app myself, so I can't say for certain. I just downloaded it to see if I can figure something out, but I get stuck in a perpetual captcha loop, so I got no way of actually checking what happens when you download CH via the app.

What I'd suggest you do is, first of all, get a better browser than Microsoft Edge. That one's just terrible. :P
Beyond that, though, the itch.io app should store the game files somewhere on your PC. If you can figure out where that is, you should get the same access to the game as you would if you were to download it from the game's page itself.

Alternatively, check out my Patreon. Not trying to sell you anything. The game is available on there for free as well, but instead of downloading it from itch.io (which may be what gives you trouble with Microsoft Edge) you can download it via Google Drive or one of the other file hosts I use.

If neither of those options work for you, let me know and we'll figure something out. :)

Heh, hey there. Doing well; hope the same goes for you.
Thanks, and to 2026 lol
