Trying to give answers to questions I see coming up every now and again.

When is the next update?

The new version 1.1 is planned to release in late June: See the "Progress Report" over on Patreon:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/release-date-129726020
This update is going to include bugfixes and adjustments to interactions as well as one new scene with Emily and additions/options for the final group scene.
You don't need to pay for this new version again if you've purchased the game after it's v1.0 release.
If you haven't purchased the game yet but are at least a $ 5+ patron on Patreon, you will receive a download code. (However, I believe you need to link your Patreon and itch accounts for that.)
There are plans for an "Epilogue" update later this year.

I'm stuck and can't progress the story

Have a look at this gameplay guide:

I'm stuck and can't progress Linda's story

The most common cause is Linda's outfit. She needs to be in her regular clothes (black & teal) for her story to progress. You might also want to take a look at this gameplay guide:

What's the solution to Emily's colour puzzle?

Have a look at this gameplay guide (Emily's solo story - stage 1):

Have I unlocked everything?

Is there a Mac release and/or will there ever be?

I can't speak for the developer, but there is no Mac release for the game's current version and looking at other games made by this creator, I doubt there will be one. I suppose Mac users need to run this game inside an emulator.

How do I transfer saves to a new version?

I believe Siren describes it quite well in this community/forum post: 
https://itch.io/t/2332796/guide-transferring-save-files

I can't see my mouse cursor. What do I do?

You can restart the game by pressing F5. Do this until you can see your mouse cursor again.

Is there full screen mode?

You can press F4 to make the game fullscreen. Keep in mind that the artwork is in 720p and will be upscaled to your screen.


If there are any other questions that come up frequently, I'll add them here. You can also feel free to ask here.

Hello, bro, I wanted to ask something, this release that I looked at on patrons, that house chores will have an update (1.0) I wanted to know if it will be paid for or not?

sorry for my broken english lol

According to Siren's latest public Patreon post, the 1.0 release will be paid only.

Little selfish push so this doesn't drown in the threads.

but other than that it's amazing awesome game I was with you when this game first started out and us who been with you in the beginning miss the old graphics I still have game to earlier version but it's just painful not seeing Rachel and Leslie the way before I do like Leslie new looks and her eye change but can there be a option in the later future to have the original graphics even if it's just to see them in there original outfit Ms with that look I understand if not able to add them in the newer outfits I just would like to have option to play in there old outfits before the new updated characters came in but if not it's ok it's just really sad 😢 how the original Leslie and Rachel got scrapped they were legendary

siren I also wanted to tell you I always loved the new change to Emily she looks so hot and beautiful her outfit is magnificent

Hello There Siren I have been enjoying your games I find them really fantasizing to me. I'm here to ask you if you consider bringing your games to gog? To keep them preserved and drm free because think of the games that probably you played and nowadays maybe you just can't in this digital age and if you do bring your game to gog those games can be preserved! Think about it I myself have already voted on your games already on the gog dreamlist if you have the time to respond and think about this post I wrote. Thank you

So if you have the current version of the game, you won't be able to update it without paying?

Everything from v1.0 on is paid only content. You need to purchase the game once. After that you will receive any further updates for free.

Is there a way to back up or see previous text? I occasionally stutter a mouse click and miss stuff.

Not that I would know of, unfortunately.

I was wondering what is the minimum requirements

I'm afraid I can't answer that.

I got a new phone can i transfer my old save game to my new phone 

I'm afraid I can't answer that.

(1 edit)

Can I just unpack the game and cut and paste its entire contents into the original folder when the new version comes out, and keep my progress?

If not, it's fine. Thankfully there's a speedup option that skips literally everything back to where I was at before.

But also, it would be nice if there was an option in the settings to toggle what the skip function actually skips. With seen vs unseen/all text. As sometimes I accidentally push the skip button and have to reload my save to see what I missed...

Sounds like you want to transfer your save to a new version: https://itch.io/t/2332796/guide-transferring-save-files

oh cool that was very helpful, thank you (: I will rember it for when new version with epilogue comes

I'm not sure if i missed it but how to you open the menu to save your game on android?

Sorry, I don't play on Android, so no idea. Press-and-hold or swiping some direction maybe?
