the browser version is the most recent version! some of the translations are of earlier versions; the downloadable englishversion should also be of the most recent version, but not all translations have the extra content from the 1.01 update!

all translations are fanmade, unfortunately i can't sponsor them, so the translators might not have been able to translate the added content 

lera's a woman!

Hi, there's no ending connected to the door, just a small scene! (I just want to clarify so no one gets frustrated when they waste time trying to figure it out!)

incredible! most of all i adore the visual cohesion and atmosphere you've managed to create, you evoke such a deep and complex relationship in such a short playtime! <3 

making a fun game is easy, making an interesting game is hard (and interesting games stick with you for longer) 

Could you elaborate? It's working for me on my laptop and phone in Chrome and Safari. Thanks! 

thank you very very much!! ;; i'll watch your video now! thanks for playing and taking the time to record a video about it!

спасибо 🫶

thank you very much!

thank you very much!

thank you for playing and for your advice! i'm curious, what do you mean? 

thank you so much! i'm deeply grateful that you took the time to play it! 

i can't translate it myself or hire a translator, but i'd be honored to support and help anyone who is interested in translating it into arabic! 

take care of yourself and thank you for taking the time to play my game ♡

thank you for taking the time to play it and take care ♡

thank you very much, i'm happy that you liked it! :- )

thank you!!

thank you very much!!

thank you deeply for playing it! 

this is probably due to your browser not supporting WebGL, there's a link in the description that might help you fix it! i'm sorry for the trouble!

thank you deeply, i'm immensely grateful that you'd consider putting in the effort to translate the game! i understand it's a massive undertaking, so there's no pressure, but here are the game files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OaIW3FVsWlTZm_Zt2ZWULOhKq9zfkMF0?usp=dri... 

and you can contact me on discord (or here) if you have any questions, my username is bishkekfriedchicken!

there are only 2! 

Nope, opening the door doesn't affect the endings! It's just a "hidden" extra scene. Thanks for playing!

there are two endings! you should be prompted to save at the point which they diverge. 

If you mean the password inside the game for the door, you'll have to find it in game (it's a puzzle, sort of). fancyrat is the password for the earlier version (1.00) of the game.

I'm sorry about this error. What browser are you using? I've tested the game on Chrome on a mac laptop but errors have been reported in Firefox which I've yet to find a solution to. 

what browser and OS are you using? a few people have experienced similar problems in firefox on mac OS, and i unfortunately have been unable to find a fix that works all of the time. i'm sorry for the trouble. 

fantastic and fun game, i really enjoyed getting all of the endings and unlocking cgs in addition to character info! the art, music, and writing all mesh wonderfully with the overall mood. 10 kidneys/10

hi! first of all, i'm glad that you liked it. i'm sorry for how vague my answers will be, but i hope they provide some sort of closure. 

it is intentionally vague, but i realize that's an unfulfilling answer. originally, it was intended to be fairly clear-cut that lera died at the end, but some things happened in my personal life, my viewpoint shifted, and i decided that i didn't want to release such a hopeless story into the world. i'm much happier having it be up to the player, and i hope that there is ample evidence for the view that she survived and was amalgamated into the building to lead a happier life, fully loved and part of something. i don't want her descent into the pit to be read as a suicide, at the very least.  

i've always refered to nika as the "child" of the buildings-- she is a part of that family, and thus, as synecdoche, the building itself. yet, she still has independent thoughts and a seemingly human form-- she is not quite a puppet, but she's a mediator of sorts between lera and the family. 

the gasoline is just a trap. the real answer to this is extremely boring, which is that i needed some sort of justification to lead lera into the building and have her stay there, and there is no deeper signifigance. 

i guess the "i thought you'd be angry with me" comment doesn't make much sense in the context of the happy ending-- i wrote it after writing the true ending, to be honest. i can understand why it would be a bit confusing after the other ending. 

there's no need to apologize for anything, don't worry! i do sincerely appreciate you telling me, and i'm happy that you enjoyed the game ^^ 

oops, it slipped my mind that i'd included two conversations regarding gingerbread cookies; the second one doesn't have choices, you're right! 

i'm not sure what could cause that error-- i've had issues in the past with mistyping file names, which causes that error, but then you'd expect it to happen for everyone. regardless, thank you for letting me know; i'm very sorry for the trouble, and i'll take a second look at the code and make sure that there aren't any typos!

oh, i see! i should probably read a bit about the itchio desktop app, i don't know much about it at all...  

huh, that's very odd! thank you for letting me know. i wasn't able to reproduce the error on my own-- what choices did you make in the conversation? 

by desktop app, you mean the .exe file? i'm sorry that it was slow, rpgmaker is poor with optimization from the start but i will try to improve it in that regard 

thank you so much, i'm so happy that you liked my game!! it means the world to me, i'm very grateful!

there is no concrete answer regarding the ending, but i wish that lera survived, too ^^ 

i'm very happy to hear that!

hi, thank you so much!

i'm incredibly honored by your offer to translate;  my discord is io#2305 and my twitter is onisarashi, you can message me on whichever is easier and i'll send you the game files!

i'm really happy that you enjoyed it!

i don't think my 'intended message' is any more valid than the messages that players take from it, so don't worry, your reading is as correct as mine! :-D 

your words truly mean the world to me! i'm overjoyed that you connected with my work, thank you so much for playing my game. 

thank you for playing it! i'm really happy!

thank you so much! both of those were unconscious inspirations in creating it, so i'm flattered that my work could remind you of them ^^

thank you so much! i'm overjoyed that you liked it. i took inspiration from a lot of things that i read and watched and then i let it all marinate in my brain for a few years :-D
