Weirdly, this seems to be a sound issue. Make sure you have headphones or speakers plugged in or - if you already do - try unplugging your headphones. I have no idea why this works, but it does.
*First time commenting on this site, so I may not know some things.* First off, I would like to ask for any help regarding saves on this game. Can I somehow upload my saves and progress into the updated version of the game? And how?
Second of all, I would like to say that this game is amazingly high detail. Especially with Koikatsu. I've played a lot of games on here, both VN's, Horror and other games, but among the games that use Koikatsu as a base, this game has by far been the best. Also, how you update the game EVERY WEEK is both amazing and terrifying to look at. Are you overworking yourself(-ves)? Do you have some kind of shady game company backing you up? ( Don't worry, I won't tell. ) In anycase, I can't wait to see when the game is fully finished and polished.
Hey, thanks for the kind words - I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and hope you stick with it to the end! :)
As for your questions:
1. All saves are automatically transferred between each new version - you don't have to do anything. Just don't ever delete the game if you're on Android or you'll lose all your saves! (Deleting it on Win, Mac & Linux is fine)
2. The singular "yourself" is correct and yes... yes I am ;) I'm actually a lot better about taking care of myself than I was at first, though, and I do take one week off every two-plus months.
3. I DO have a shady game company backing me up! Sadly, it's my own shady game company and I'm the only employee... but still, it has a kinda-creepy logo! So I think it counts.
You can't buy it in Act Two, no - the original plan was that you'd be able to, but I couldn't fit it into Act Two without it feeling forced. Sorry for the confusion! :P I may remove it as a purchasable option for now until it becomes available.
Android requires that you have between 2-4 times as much available space as a game or app requires in order to install it. So depending on your model, you may need ~6GB free :/
Hi , I 'm stuck at the moment when there is a choice in the church to find Tom , while it is necessary to gain the trust of Morgana and Chastity , but there is absolutely no progress , there are simply no options to move further , is this a bug or am I to blame ? Version 0.16.7
Hi, I downloaded the app, and I downloaded the file inside the app, it gave me an error. And this...

Aww, thank you! I appreciate it :) I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and I hope you have fun with everything I have planned!
I update weekly, and it's just me developing the game, so it's going to take a few updates more before the game world opens back up again. Thanks for your patience!
Is the highest level of authority in the college level 5 because i cant seem to go any higher and get the quiet girl to do any thing ive tried everything even setting my name to the answer to the riddle she thinks about.
Not sure what you mean, sorry. Just do what your leads say, and once you've completed your task you'll get a new lead. Same for the Heart menu hints :)
Have you completed what the hints tell you to do? Is this happening for all girls, or just certain girls? Is there any event in particular that you know you've completed and the hint hasn't updated?
The code is extremely simple - a standard variable check - and hasn't been changed in over two years, so my instinct is to say that either you're not completing the hint or you or someone with access to your machine has been editing variables.
All but like 2 of the girls say there hasn't been an update for them in quite a while. That could be the case too, but i haven't played in a month and updated like 4 days ago and found nothing to do.
re man on man, creampie - If you do please make very sure there's a disable feature (forever would be a nice option) The game is fun, interesting, and erotic enough as is. There are other sites for the heavier and fringier (this is a word?) stuff.
Creampie animations are functionally impossible as mentioned in my comment below, and if (which is a BIG if) man-on-man content ever makes it into the game it'll be as a separate (free) DLC due to its polarising nature :)
"Femboy" content has been on the polls for a long time now, but gets an extremely low number of votes each time. That's not to say that it won't eventually make its way into the game, but not anytime soon, and if it does it will be as separate (free) DLC due to its extremely polarising nature.
Almost certainly not - I'm using Koikatu's CharaStudio, and attempting to do custom animations is extremely complicated and time-consuming. Plus, anything involving liquid physics is a no-go due to the limitations of the software. Sorry!
As a solo dev on a weekly schedule there is unfortunately a strict limit on the amount of content I can get out in any given week - especially now that I'm having to rework every map, create new outfits and in some cases edit character models. Thanks for your patience! :)
I just thought you might slowly making the rendering, dialogue and stuff during act 2 and then copy those to the update. I wonder if act 3 choice is going to be more impactful though.
I'll admit, I threw money on this game not expecting too much, but I was pleasantly surprised.
For once, the main character has a funny personality and can handle his own, unlike so many other visual novels I've seen before. Plus, the characters you meet, including the bachelorettes, are interesting and three-dimensional, with wants and desires, and past traumas for some. I got hooked with the plot real fast, and kept scouring the game for more.
I mean at this point, the sex scenes are just a tiny bonus to the rest of the game, y'know?
I'm glad you're enjoying the game and thanks for the support! That and the kind words are very much appreciated - solo devs live and die on positive feedback! ;)
I hope you stick with CK and continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future!
Im back again with a few more questions if anyone can answer.
I took over the college but cant find katana girl and cant get shy library girl to talk, am i missing something with them? I have all stats maxed (not the last two green points) I have max authority and education too.
After pixie deals with dhena it says maybe lyx can unfreeze her but I cant find any option for it anywhere yet is that a later thing?
At the daycare I only get one "group play" option, do i need to do something to get more or is that all for now?
Do the council guardian and fish girl in the lake (explore options) do anything or are they just interesting easter eggs?
Im still in act 2 just got the manor nexus and went on the date with the receptionist if story position matters in any of my questions. Thanks for any answers as always
Thanks so much! On the group play topic am i missing another requirement then because i have every possible kid minus Jessica's. Do i need to have done both kids solo play first? Because I admitedly havnt done a few of those because when I saw group play I just focused on getting the kids thinking I could play with all and not have to choose who got love and attention XD
You can't yet, I'm afraid. I need to repopulate the Manor with the updated map renders, character models and outfits before I can start to open up the game world again. Shouldn't be long now, though! :)
Hey, I love your game and I recently had a spark of creativity which led me to trying to create my own.
I really like the style of your game and my question is this- where did you get the assets for the backgrounds / environments? Did you make them yourself in blender or something, or did you buy them?
Hey, thanks for the kind words and good luck with your own project! :)
I make CK using Koikatsu (available on Steam) which has no official licensing agreements but the parent company has publicly stated that they're happy for indie devs to use their assets (and have even defended devs against their own distributor in the past!). This means you can't put your game up on Steam if you decide to go this route, however - just something to bear in mind!
Yes, I use it to create all the scenes - CharaStudio, to be specific. If you uave the Steam version check out the "Guides" in Steam to learn how to get CharaStudio active in your version :)
I love that this shows how much of the story is well made despite it being a 18+ game, it gives people a reason to care and love the characters. Props to ya Arcadean.
This makes me wonder, do the choices actually have an impact on the game or is it just to make it more interactive? Maybe it depends if it's on the short term (like a scene) or longer..
Yes, you can move saves to and from any OS :) If you're on Android 11+, though, you'll either need a file explorer app or to plug your phone into your computer since Google made the "data" folder hidden a while back.
Claire occupies an interesting space midway between side girl and main girl. She won't have the heart menu that the main girls have, but she will have a lot more content than the other side girls do :)
This is a very good game, honestly the second best I've ever played. I wish you were rich, creating a game like this must be very difficult so I appreciate the work of all the creators of these games. I didn't want to see the end of this game but I will, and this game will be on my phone forever. Good luck with your work :)
Also ik it would almost be the same if I asked for Claire to be a main girl she's better off being a side girl bc that means less work for The Arcadean
Wow, you've been around since practically the beginning, then! Thanks for sticking with CK for so long, and I hope you hang around to see the end!
As for Patreon, don't worry about it. Whilst the financial support is incredible (and super humbling) so long as people are playing my game and enjoying it, that's enough for me :)
Do we have any rough ideas on how low it'll be before we get most of characters back? Given usual schedule, and amount of characters, going to assume it'll take a couple of months minimum.
Not an insult about amount of content - considering weekly releases, its a neat amount per patch - but given that combined with amount of missing content in act 3 (between characters and the assumedly-needing-replacing-due-to-character-changes H scenes), I might need to put off weekly downloads for a bit because it'll be some time before we can really do much in act 3. If I want stuff to do in the game at the moment I'm better off with my act 2 save, which won't need updates to play.
I should be done repopulating the Manor within the next two updates, at which point the game world map will start to open up again, but no estimates on when Act Three is going to be as populated as Act Two, I'm afraid.
This is the curse of a solo dev on a weekly schedule :P Bearing in mind that Act Two was over two years in the making, and that I have to redo every single map scene, all the girls' outfits and some of their models, and you can see that it's going to take a little while to get everything up and running again.
On the plus side, the more I get done the faster the subsequent content will be, so every update will speed up every future update :)
Glad to hear the manor will be refilled as soon as that, though think I'm still going to have to wait a month or so. I enjoy being able to actually do stuff between events, so whilst don't need it to be quite as expansive as act 2, do need a little more to do first. Happy to wait though - let's face it, your update cycle is way faster than most developers, where you're lucky to get an update every three or four months (not complaining about them either, just stating fact).
All in all though, would prefer having to wait a bit before I play again to seeing the game suffer from over-hasty updates. So by all means glad to see you're taking the time to make it work :)
I just downloaded this game and played for a few days and its amazing. Its the first h game and visual novel i havnt gotten bored of after a few hours. I had a few questions related to the game (mainly design wise)
Will all the girls be ae to get pregnant eventually?
Will the children have a role other than just flavor?
How many acts are gonna be in the final product?
And lastly are there plans for more shortstacks/tiny girls? (I really like a good size difference XD )
Im not sure if any of these have been answered before or if Arcadean will see this and have time to answer but any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for making this awesome game by the way im officially invested in the plot its sooo good!
Hey, thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the game so much, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future! :)
As to your questions:
1. The idea is for almost all Main Girls (Roxy, Qarinah and Lyx are either "no" or "maybe"), most Side Girls and some One-shot Girls to be able to to be impregnated.
2. The pregnancy system is entirely optional and can be turned off in the Preferences menu, so they'll never have more than a supporting role in the game.
3. There will be three acts, plus an epilogue
4. No specific plans for more girls right now (there are 17 main girls, over 20 side girls and even more one-shot girls currently) but the upcoming story does require more characters so one or more of them may be shortstack ;)
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer! Iam a sucker for both Qarinah and lyx so my biased hope is that they will be included but i understand if not. Im super excited to see where the story goes from here. Im still progressing in act 2 for now and will probably take a break once i hit act 3 to wait for updates etc. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for making this story. I have been obsessively playing for hours each day finding side events and easter eggs and just enjoying it. I only just found the family dates and i love them so much! So wholesome i could cry happy tears.
My pleasure! Always happy to answer players' questions :)
Lyx is a "maybe-leaning-towards-yes", and Qarinah is a "maybe, but it'd be a dream pregnancy so she could muck around with it and the resulting kid wouldn't be in the daycare" so it gets confusing ;P
I'm glad you're enjoying the game so far, and I hope you stick with it to the end!
I have now gotten the manor nexus and maxed the love of every main girl except chastity and jessica, I will continue to cross my fingers for lyx and would be okay with dream waifu having a dream baby XD.
On a side note congratulations your H game made me cry and im not ashamed to admit it, after constant nightmares while playing (im on day 196) I had finally finished the Qarinah romance and contentedly returned to the manor to sleep and as the nightmare started to see Qarinah defend MC made me shed a happy tear for the MC.
If you're on pc just go to where you have the game stored, open the old version folder, then open the game folder and copy the folder that's named saves. Now just head back to the folder with the current version and paste the saves folder into the game folder there
You actually don't have to do this. All saves on PC, Mac and Linux are saved to two locations - one is in the game's "saves" folder and the other is stored in a separate location on your computer. When you load up a new version the game will search for saves in both locations and move them from the external folder into the "saves" folder for you if the "saves" folder is empty :)
In short, on PC, Mac and Linux you just extract the new version to a fresh folder and play!
Something i´d love to see (that may very well be in the process) is different animations for the diff levels of "services". Like past "Too much teeth" Gets a different animation, as well as the kissing that would be awesome
It's the kind of detail I'd love to include, but as a solo dev on a weekly release schedule it's sadly not feasible without adding another year or two to the development time and shrinking the amount of new content in each release.
Maybe during the polish phase, once the game's in beta :)
I`ll make sure too stay tuned then!!! As I said before, Loving the game! Keep up the good work but also look after yourself! Stay hydrated and stuff xD -Greeting from Argentina :D
I got a question for anyone if you went for the villain type of route type 1 for those who did like the good route type 2 for those who picked like a 50/50 type 3 because now I'm curious on your guys choices
Go to the Outskirts map (the one with the farm) and click on the "EXPLORE" button. Then keep exploring and once you run out of events, pay attention to the text hints :)
Thank you! I managed, I finished the second act. But there is a problem... the android version of the third act is not working. I hope the problem will be fixed soon... I really like this game!

So whenever an H-scene happens its just black with the text
Weirdly, this seems to be a sound issue. Make sure you have headphones or speakers plugged in or - if you already do - try unplugging your headphones. I have no idea why this works, but it does.
Ah, thats odd but Ive had ren py games crash and not even load for not using sound so yeah.

Is it possible to buy the church? im tryin to get everything possible done before I begin act 3 and its the only thing I have left to do
No, I don't think you can buy it yet.
You can't buy it in Act Two, no - the original plan was that you'd be able to, but I couldn't fit it into Act Two without it feeling forced. Sorry for the confusion! :P I may remove it as a purchasable option for now until it becomes available.
I wasn't here for the beginning of Act Three, but I am hyped honestly, cause this is actually fun, and I can't, (but will,) wait for more!
Edit: I have now seen all of (current) Act Three and now that just pumped up my hype, I seriously cannot wait for more parts of the story!
I'm glad you're enjoying it! Hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future! :)
How do I advance progress with Qarinah?
Just follow the hints in her Heart card (heart icon in the top-right of the screen)
thanks bro
How much storage i need to download this? I mean there's still 4GB storage space and i can't download this?
Maybe problem with your browser?
apk is ~1340 MB
Android requires that you have between 2-4 times as much available space as a game or app requires in order to install it. So depending on your model, you may need ~6GB free :/
Hi , I 'm stuck at the moment when there is a choice in the church to find Tom , while it is necessary to gain the trust of Morgana and Chastity , but there is absolutely no progress , there are simply no options to move further , is this a bug or am I to blame ? Version 0.16.7
You have to complete the Edlritch and Fey questlines. Just follow your leads (the envelope icon in the top-right of your screen)
Ahh... there is a problem with the new Android version
Everyone else seems to be running it okay - what exactly is the problem you're having?
It won't let me download the latest version over the old one. It says "error". And I have at least 5 GB
Try downloading Split APK Installer ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aefyr.sai&hl=en_GB&gl=US ) and install the game using that - if it still gives you an error, it will at least specify the problem so you know what the issue is.

Could be you dont have enough storage it downloads fine for me
I still have about 5GB storage, is it enough?
This game is truly the best and i cant wait for more updates for this game hopefully the full act 3 comes out soon
keep up the good work
Aww, thank you! I appreciate it :) I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and I hope you have fun with everything I have planned!
I update weekly, and it's just me developing the game, so it's going to take a few updates more before the game world opens back up again. Thanks for your patience!
Is the highest level of authority in the college level 5 because i cant seem to go any higher and get the quiet girl to do any thing ive tried everything even setting my name to the answer to the riddle she thinks about.
the quiet girl currently has no content planned until act three, so you gotta wait a bit before any content with her is out
Oh ok Thank you
How do I get the quests for the girls to update?
Not sure what you mean, sorry. Just do what your leads say, and once you've completed your task you'll get a new lead. Same for the Heart menu hints :)
Yea the heart menu hints don't update.
Have you completed what the hints tell you to do? Is this happening for all girls, or just certain girls? Is there any event in particular that you know you've completed and the hint hasn't updated?

Just played act 3 but I really hoped you made act 3 complete. But it's fine, great games come with time and patience, I guess.

Im still in act 2 just got the manor nexus and went on the date with the receptionist if story position matters in any of my questions. Thanks for any answers as always
1. Sword Girl and Quiet Girl are mysteries you can only solve in Act Three. Youre done with them for now.
2. Can't be done in Act Two (MC has no reason to free Dhena).
3. You need kids from more girls. Group events are tied to specific combinations of specific children.
4. Council Guardian's events will be in Act Three. The fishgirl you can move to the Marina once you own it and have met both fishgirls.
Hope that helps! :)
Thanks so much! On the group play topic am i missing another requirement then because i have every possible kid minus Jessica's. Do i need to have done both kids solo play first? Because I admitedly havnt done a few of those because when I saw group play I just focused on getting the kids thinking I could play with all and not have to choose who got love and attention XD
Jessica's kid will be the one you need to unlock the other group event :)
how long does it take for the reseptionist to call jessica on the date
Only a day or two if i remember correctly. Talk to Jessica in the kitchen in the morning and ask about the receptionist :)
yah i finaly figured that out ty now i have to figure out how to get the organization and chastity to help get into the church for morgana
How do you activate Chloe Bimbo mode?
Progress in the Organisation questline :)
How do you get more actions *and people* in the dungeon in Act 2?
You can't - the dungeon is more of an Act Three thing :)
How do you progress aftrer the church fight, Like how do you leave the house. THE KIDS!!
You can't yet, I'm afraid. I need to repopulate the Manor with the updated map renders, character models and outfits before I can start to open up the game world again. Shouldn't be long now, though! :)
Hey, I love your game and I recently had a spark of creativity which led me to trying to create my own.

This means you can't put your game up on Steam if you decide to go this route, however - just something to bear in mind!
Awesome! I am indeed using Koikatsu for the characters, but I was unaware that scenes can be made too?
If that's the case, then do you just use Koikatsu for all assets and animations? If so that would help tremendously.
It's a shame I can't draw or 3D model to save my life because I'd love to get really creative with the art style of the game haha!
Yes, I use it to create all the scenes - CharaStudio, to be specific. If you uave the Steam version check out the "Guides" in Steam to learn how to get CharaStudio active in your version :)
Will the next update be released in a week or should I wait longer?
Usually releases drop every 10 to 15 days, but if you're in the patreon you can try it like a week earlier
They release every Monday for patreon and Thursday for the public.
Oh thanks for replying
Will things get better I can't sleep because of what happened to the characters
Some things will get better, some will get much worse. Make the right choices, though, and there should be a happy ending waiting for you :)
Thanks for replying.
I hope the things that will get worse not affect the characters I love
I love that this shows how much of the story is well made despite it being a 18+ game, it gives people a reason to care and love the characters. Props to ya Arcadean.
True 😌
This makes me wonder, do the choices actually have an impact on the game or is it just to make it more interactive? Maybe it depends if it's on the short term (like a scene) or longer..
Pretty sure our dev has surprises waiting for us; maybe now in act 3 our choices will have a bigger impact.
would it be possible to export a windows savefile to android? i made it to act 2 but i want to play on my phone with my pc save
Yes, you can move saves to and from any OS :) If you're on Android 11+, though, you'll either need a file explorer app or to plug your phone into your computer since Google made the "data" folder hidden a while back.
Is Claire technically a side girl?
I don't really mind if she is bc her being a main would make doing her part of the story slightly more difficult
Claire occupies an interesting space midway between side girl and main girl. She won't have the heart menu that the main girls have, but she will have a lot more content than the other side girls do :)
That's good to know
Be sure to save before going to the 3rd stage
My heart man, it hurts, no spoilers tho.
This is a very good game, honestly the second best I've ever played. I wish you were rich, creating a game like this must be very difficult so I appreciate the work of all the creators of these games. I didn't want to see the end of this game but I will, and this game will be on my phone forever. Good luck with your work :)
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it :)
Even when CK finishes, I have plans already drafted for CK2 and CK3 so the end of this game won't be the end of the story!
How amazing, I'll stay until the end!
How much do i have to pay to get Ami on the main girl cast
(holds pinky finger up to mouth)
ONE BILLION DOLLARS!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO and I just finished it today to come back to a new update!
Amazing game homie take some pride in your work and dont forget to rest when you need to
Wich one is Ami again?
The mouse fey that was murdered
Oh I guess I forgot bc that's the last you get to see of her
Also ik it would almost be the same if I asked for Claire to be a main girl she's better off being a side girl bc that means less work for The Arcadean
If you want him to have more work than your going to have to give him more money is basically what I'm saying
I'm assuming it's the same cost if I asked for Claire to be a main girl too so I'm not surprised
but what would it cost to make Ami a side girl instead?
How can I make progress with Morgana and the nun to complete organisation lead
U can't
Just follow the Fey and Eldritch leads in your leads menu (click the envelope icon in the top-right) :)
Pregnancy system add it yo
its in the game already
Pregnancy has been in the game for well over a year now... :P
I noticed people are still having a difficult time with it
Wow, you've been around since practically the beginning, then! Thanks for sticking with CK for so long, and I hope you hang around to see the end!
As for Patreon, don't worry about it. Whilst the financial support is incredible (and super humbling) so long as people are playing my game and enjoying it, that's enough for me :)
I appreciate it! :)
you are amazing bro :)

Do we have any rough ideas on how low it'll be before we get most of characters back? Given usual schedule, and amount of characters, going to assume it'll take a couple of months minimum.
Not an insult about amount of content - considering weekly releases, its a neat amount per patch - but given that combined with amount of missing content in act 3 (between characters and the assumedly-needing-replacing-due-to-character-changes H scenes), I might need to put off weekly downloads for a bit because it'll be some time before we can really do much in act 3. If I want stuff to do in the game at the moment I'm better off with my act 2 save, which won't need updates to play.
I should be done repopulating the Manor within the next two updates, at which point the game world map will start to open up again, but no estimates on when Act Three is going to be as populated as Act Two, I'm afraid.
This is the curse of a solo dev on a weekly schedule :P Bearing in mind that Act Two was over two years in the making, and that I have to redo every single map scene, all the girls' outfits and some of their models, and you can see that it's going to take a little while to get everything up and running again.
On the plus side, the more I get done the faster the subsequent content will be, so every update will speed up every future update :)
Thanks for reply :)
Glad to hear the manor will be refilled as soon as that, though think I'm still going to have to wait a month or so. I enjoy being able to actually do stuff between events, so whilst don't need it to be quite as expansive as act 2, do need a little more to do first. Happy to wait though - let's face it, your update cycle is way faster than most developers, where you're lucky to get an update every three or four months (not complaining about them either, just stating fact).
All in all though, would prefer having to wait a bit before I play again to seeing the game suffer from over-hasty updates. So by all means glad to see you're taking the time to make it work :)
Imma wait for a month so i can play the latest update on a moth anyone want to join me?
I just downloaded this game and played for a few days and its amazing. Its the first h game and visual novel i havnt gotten bored of after a few hours. I had a few questions related to the game (mainly design wise)
Will all the girls be ae to get pregnant eventually?
Will the children have a role other than just flavor?
How many acts are gonna be in the final product?
And lastly are there plans for more shortstacks/tiny girls? (I really like a good size difference XD )
Im not sure if any of these have been answered before or if Arcadean will see this and have time to answer but any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for making this awesome game by the way im officially invested in the plot its sooo good!
Hey, thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the game so much, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future! :)
As to your questions:
1. The idea is for almost all Main Girls (Roxy, Qarinah and Lyx are either "no" or "maybe"), most Side Girls and some One-shot Girls to be able to to be impregnated.
2. The pregnancy system is entirely optional and can be turned off in the Preferences menu, so they'll never have more than a supporting role in the game.
3. There will be three acts, plus an epilogue
4. No specific plans for more girls right now (there are 17 main girls, over 20 side girls and even more one-shot girls currently) but the upcoming story does require more characters so one or more of them may be shortstack ;)
Hope that answers your questions!
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer! Iam a sucker for both Qarinah and lyx so my biased hope is that they will be included but i understand if not. Im super excited to see where the story goes from here. Im still progressing in act 2 for now and will probably take a break once i hit act 3 to wait for updates etc. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for making this story. I have been obsessively playing for hours each day finding side events and easter eggs and just enjoying it. I only just found the family dates and i love them so much! So wholesome i could cry happy tears.
My pleasure! Always happy to answer players' questions :)
Lyx is a "maybe-leaning-towards-yes", and Qarinah is a "maybe, but it'd be a dream pregnancy so she could muck around with it and the resulting kid wouldn't be in the daycare" so it gets confusing ;P
I'm glad you're enjoying the game so far, and I hope you stick with it to the end!
I have now gotten the manor nexus and maxed the love of every main girl except chastity and jessica, I will continue to cross my fingers for lyx and would be okay with dream waifu having a dream baby XD.
On a side note congratulations your H game made me cry and im not ashamed to admit it, after constant nightmares while playing (im on day 196) I had finally finished the Qarinah romance and contentedly returned to the manor to sleep and as the nightmare started to see Qarinah defend MC made me shed a happy tear for the MC.
How do you transfer your progress to the latest version?
If you're on pc just go to where you have the game stored, open the old version folder, then open the game folder and copy the folder that's named saves. Now just head back to the folder with the current version and paste the saves folder into the game folder there
You actually don't have to do this. All saves on PC, Mac and Linux are saved to two locations - one is in the game's "saves" folder and the other is stored in a separate location on your computer. When you load up a new version the game will search for saves in both locations and move them from the external folder into the "saves" folder for you if the "saves" folder is empty :)
In short, on PC, Mac and Linux you just extract the new version to a fresh folder and play!
I updated from the itch launcher and it didn't bring over the saves for me, only the autosaves.
If you're on mobile you just need to install the apk file as an update without uninstalling the current version.
thanks!
Something i´d love to see (that may very well be in the process) is different animations for the diff levels of "services". Like past "Too much teeth" Gets a different animation, as well as the kissing that would be awesome
Otherwise loving the game!
It's the kind of detail I'd love to include, but as a solo dev on a weekly release schedule it's sadly not feasible without adding another year or two to the development time and shrinking the amount of new content in each release.
Maybe during the polish phase, once the game's in beta :)
I`ll make sure too stay tuned then!!! As I said before, Loving the game! Keep up the good work but also look after yourself! Stay hydrated and stuff xD
-Greeting from Argentina :D
I got a question for anyone if you went for the villain type of route type 1 for those who did like the good route type 2 for those who picked like a 50/50 type 3 because now I'm curious on your guys choices
I pick 4, the good route with some bad actions I'd say 80/20, maybe
that technically 2 since you did most of the good path
1
2
3. I mainly went good route but was very quick to punish any who i felt deserved it.
friends, what should I do when they ask me to investigate the outskirts
Go to the Outskirts map (the one with the farm) and click on the "EXPLORE" button. Then keep exploring and once you run out of events, pay attention to the text hints :)
i'm looking at the outskirts icon on that map right now in-between the farm and the cottage
I'm not sure what you're confused about, sorry. Like I said, just click the "EXPLORE" button. It's the one furthest on the right.
Thank you! I managed, I finished the second act. But there is a problem... the android version of the third act is not working. I hope the problem will be fixed soon... I really like this game!
