Excellent, thanks for letting me know. I'll start rolling out the patch through Steam/Itch to other players in the near future.

Ah, so it's the Steam version. In that case it's probably Steam's cloud save syncing restoring the file.

I've just put together a quick patch which should re-check the H patch on load, so you shouldn't need to touch the save file if you replace 006.rpa in your install directory with the file above.
It appears to be in the right place. The only possibility I can see would be if you started playing the game without the H patch, it save on quit, now it's automatically loading that save (without the H patch applied) and not checking again.
Can you try closing the game, deleting your quitsave file (game/saves/quitsave-LT1.save) and starting again?
You might need to also delete the same file from your AppData directory.
Thanks EfyrAethylla, I'm glad to hear you liked it so much.
Unfortunately they've both been rejected by Xbox (A Dragon's Treasure has been released on the other consoles already). I don't think it's likely that xbox will change their mind.
I've just uploaded a new build. It's called "Sickness (Android)" and should download a file called "games.zetsubou.sickness-release.apk"
Can you download and install that? You shouldn't need to uninstall first. It should keep your existing save data if you just install it over the top of the existing installation.
It's built with a much newer version of the game engine and targets a recent version of Android. In my testing this version fixed the error you've screenshotted above.
Hi Arclighted, I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed Sable's Grimoire so much. I'll try to keep this relatively spoiler-free. The new content is coming to consoles at some stage... but it's in the hands of the company who port SG, so I don't know when it'll actually be done.
Rei's new ending isn't a double romance ending. It's not a romantic ending at all (though it's definitely a happier ending for Rei).
Whether other characters (including Rei) get their own games or not is yet to be decided. At the very least it wouldn't be until SG2 is done. Any hypothetical new games for different heroines would take place chronologically after SG2 and continue on from their routes in SG2. So in Rei's case it could potentially be SG1 (rei's route) -> SG2 (rei's route) -> new spin-off game.
That's how I'd see it playing out, though again, it's not decided yet. I won't rule out more heroine-specific games, but with the next two games in the series (SG2 and Project Homonculus) already announced I'd rather hold off on making any promises until they're done.
Do you have the option of installing the 18+ DLC from Steam directly? If it's available in your region, that would be the easiest option. Steam should automatically put the file in the right place.
If not, it should be a matter of finding the game in your steam library, right clicking on it and going into Manage -> Browse local files. Then open the "game" folder and copy the .rpa file into that folder. The game needs to be restarted after that (if it's currently running).
Also, make sure you downloaded the patch from https://zetsubou.games/tomboys-need-love-too/index.html
If you downloaded it from somewhere else, it's possible that it's an old version of the patch made for a previous version of the game.
I don't think I'll be able to help with that then. Please contact Gamuzumi, they make the console ports and have far more knowledge on the consoles than I do http://www.gamuzumi.com/contact.php
The app package name is the same as before, so if you still have the game installed, installing the new APK should update the existing application and keep the save data.
If you've uninstalled the app, then I'm not sure if the old save data will still be there.
Worst case scenario, if you don't have the old save data, you could enable skipping of "All Text" in preferences and just skip until you hit the new route.
That sounds reasonable to me. I hope that the continuation of Jorou's route in SG2 sheds a better light on all of this. The Joanne ending is obviously too brief to cover the breadth of the issues involved here, and doesn't do either character the courtesy of a proper discussion. SG2 is still a long way off, but I'll keep this conversation in mind for when it does reach that stage of development.
I feel like you're conflating the Joanne ending with the rest of her route and forgetting that the characters don't have the same insight into her situation that you now do.
It's easy to complete the Joanne ending and say "ah, so that's what she wants" and to look back over the rest of her route with that insight. But the characters in the game don't have that leisure. They don't know that she wants to become human; only that she keeps harming and denigrating herself. They don't link her self-harm with her not feeling comfortable in her own body; they only see self-destructive behavior.
Take the other ending, for instance. She isn't being confined because she wants to become someone else, or to stop her from undergoing such a transformation. She's confined because she's repeatedly self-harmed, and has now started physically hurting the people around her.
As for the Joanne ending, I understand your concerns with Sable's reaction, but I think it speaks more to his shock than anything. He hasn't seen her in months, now she's suddenly lost her demi-human aspects and taken on a new name. His inability to immediately adapt to her new name and appearance is unfortunate, but I don't see it as transphobic.
If that ending lasted a bit longer, then he might have gotten used to calling her by her new name. After having a chance to sit down and talk with her about her transformation, he might be able to accept that this is what she wants, and that what he called mutilation is actually something far more positive for her. Of course, the game ends before they have such a chance, so all we see is his initial failure to cope with this sudden change.
Anyway, if you view Sable's reaction in the Joanne ending as transphobic, then I can at least understand why. But I don't see how you can apply that to the rest of her route or the other endings. Their desire is to stop their self-harming friend, who's been overworking herself, not sleeping or eating properly, and violently attacked someone, from spiraling out of control any further.
