When you download the zip file go to your file Explorer app and press on the zip, and choose to extract and extract into download ör anywhere else you would like
Yeah, it's something that the Itch uploader does randomly and I have no control over it - sorry!
It's very easy to extract, though. Doesn't matter what generation your phone is - the extraction is done via app (such as Google's own: https://support.google.com/files/answer/9048509?hl=en-GB ) and so your phone can handle it. Plus, zip files are almost as old as the internet so you could extract it on a potato ;P
Jessica can be found in the bathroom on WEDNESDAY MORNING and at the front door on SUNDAY AFTERNOON. I'll be adding more spawn locations for her in the next update so it won't be so hard to find her. Sorry for the inconvenience!
I am curious about some of the decisions in conquer system, specifically the ability to "break" a prisoner with sex (rather than powers) and the option to execute them. Note that I'm not attacking these options within games or anyone who chooses these as options. However within the context of this game it feels like a pretty significant shift.
it still seems odd that the MC would be taking these actions at this point. Despite the events at the church and the start of the war I think even awakened residents of the manor would question the execution (ie murder with extra steps/speeches) of prisoners who had been "fucked into submission" already.
Perhaps there is already a plan to factor in a players choice to go down this road in interactions with the cast / impacting future decisions. Of course the player can always choose choose to exile captured bosses/make sure to shatter them in combat.
The "cost" of turning the MC into more of a cold-blooded killer type is baked into the system itself - it denies players access to new recruits, events that require those recruits, and the unique abilities those recruits had.
As for the shift itself, there's a few prongs.
The first, and most obvious, is that if I didn't allow players the option to kill during war then I'd get complaints. Especially given some of the people you'll be going up against in time (Tom, The Chief, Morgana, etc.)
The second is that it marks a noticeable shift in the MC's attitude that - coincidentally - occurs at the same time as he becomes corrupted with the Beast's essence. Wow, that's certainly a huge coincidence! Anyway...
The third is that I always like to offer player choice and agency when I can. These opportunities are limited, as I'm a solo dev on a weekly release schedule, but in cases like this where the "time investment" is two renders and a paragraph of text, I figured I could add it with no issues.
The fourth is that honestly, from MC's perspective, killing certain people may quite honestly be the smartest move. Let's say you fight and beat the Chief... your choices are to imprison him forever (not ideal for numerous reasons, including drain on supplies, motivating the Org to focus attacks on the Manor rather than their currently split focus, and giving the Chief a chance to escape), or exile... which, I mean, he'd just come back. You could try breaking him but I think most people would rather not ;) So killing in that case makes the most logical sense to a lot of people. This is war, after all.
(Also, it should be noted that the execution after breaking the girl is performed by the MC, not by anyone else. MC's keeping that one quiet. "Oh, I exiled her" would probably be his go-to if questioned.)
Anyhoo, just thought I'd clarify the decision making process behind the "execute" option. And if it doesn't fit your concept of the MC, you can completely ignore it. It will never be an enforced option :)
What are some games that are similar to it. The ones that i know of are champion of realms and overpowered(yoshigames) so yeah what are some other vns like this?
As well as Yeshmiyek's recommendations, I can also highly recommend "Heroes Harem Guild". The dev actually started out in the CK Discord and is an incredibly talented programmer and writer!
funny enough, i actually just started playing HHG and i was wondering why some of the mechanics felt like CK, i just finished the prologue and i cant wait for the next update of that, the story at times genuinely made me cry, like this game.
I made a mistake, I copy pasted the game instead of extracting because I read the patch note too late. So, I deleted my existing game and downloaded a fresh one and played again from the start and it seems that I'm kinda stucked around strategize with jessica. How can I fix this?
Whoops! Your save files would still be salvageable, in case you didn't want to start again, but it seems like you already got all the way to Act Three again, so... I hope the replay wasn't too dull! :P
Jessica can be found in the bathroom on WEDNESDAY MORNING and the front door on SUNDAY AFTERNOON. The next update will have a lot more spawn locations for her so people don't need to hunt around.
Thanks for the prompt response. I enjoyed the replay and was able to play on some things I missed the last time before Act 3. I really love the update and looking forward to future updates. Stay awesome! Love lots~
Hi! First I wanted to say that I love the game, it's incredibly good for an "adult" game type.
And I wanted to make a question, are you interested in translate your game to spanish? Because it'd be great, I speak spanish and I understand perfectly english so I don't have a problem to play the game, but there are probably a lot of hispanic people who would love to play the game as well.
So if you're interested in expand your game community I offer my services as a translator and a "fan". Again I loved the game, I just created an account just to write this comment jaja
Hey, thanks for the kind words - and I'm honoured that you would create an account just to post here :)
I will be hiring people to translate the game into multiple languages once it enters beta, including Spanish, so if you're interested then keep an eye out for the announcement, which will probably be in about a year.
It will be posted here on Itch, on Patreon and Subscribestar and in the CK Discord server. Priority will be given to existing members of the server as I believe in hiring from within the community :)
Hello hello! First of all I wanna say that the game is awesome so far, absolutely one of the best games of this genre, so hats off to the devs. *takes off metaphorical hat as a sign of respect*
Now my question (spoilers for the end of Act.2):
I'm just finishing act 2 of the story and I found the decition of whether to take or destroy the relic, I tried both choices and did the rest of Act 2 but nothing seems to change as far as I can tell. Is there a way to know what ramifications this choice will have? What if in the future I want to see the other alternative? Do I have to load all the way back to Act 2 and then play everything again up to the point where the consecuences occur?
If anyone has played and seen what happens with the relic in Act 3 (Which I haven't played yet) I would love if you can tell me (I don't mind spoilers at all)
Dev singular, I'm afraid - it's just me. But thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and I hope you stick around and enjoy everything I have planned for the future, too!
As for your question, your decision to take or destroy the relic will have a BIG impact on the ending of the game, but that impact won't be revealed until much later on. Don't worry, though, if you made the "wrong" choice you will have one chance to fix it (after that you'll just have to live with the consequences) :)
So basically, destroy it for good ending, keep it for bad ending? I don't think the "one chance" will be magically fix the pieces stuck beneath the church, it'll probably be a chance to break it in a key event before it gets into morgana/eldritch hands. Either way old post and I was looking for the answer myself so here I am ig.
Its in the patch notes above, you are doing everything correct, currently that is the only one available. Others will become available faster now that the combat system has been completed.
Arcadean. You work so hard for us. You and your helpers. We thank you. We all thank you so much from the bottoms of our hearts. I wish I could give you a great big ol tight bear hug. Please don't overwork yourselves. We all love ya and what you do for us. Take care of yourselves. >^w^<
Aww, thank you! I'd take you up on the bear hug, but the last few weeks have left me a shrivelled husk of ouchies and you'd probably snap me like a brittle twig ;)
Крч вкратце: весь движ начинается во втором акте. Минотавриха (вторая картинка) появляется после того как откроется Нексус у Морганы (тут зависит от прохождения, в среднем +- пару часов). Куноичи (первый арт) находится на живых источниках в горах (второй акт -> сесть на поезд -> hot springs). Важно: НЕ ВЫКАЧИВАЙ МАГИЮ ИНАЧЕ НЕ ОТКРОЕШЬ НОВЫЕ ЗАКЛИНАНИЯ (читы на стату и деньги будут в твоей комнате во втором акте на компьютере. Ну или можешь изменить файл renpy в папке с игрой. Консоль разработчика открывается shift+o, в интернете найдешь если что). Сначала исследуй окраины (Outskirts -> explore, там надо будет направления выбирать) найди Ведьму и пройди все испытания. Может показаться начало мутным, но просто дойди до этого момента
Really Waiting Now For More War Content(My Inner NCD is Showing),but i also want More Emma Content we Really Need to Turn Her Back to Normal and also ARC WHERE IS MY KIDS ARC?? I WANT MY CHILDREN.I Can Feel my Transformation into a Overprotective Dad.
More war content coming in every update! Plus events and fun things. Though maybe not in the next update as this week has pretty much just been bugfixing :P
Emma's "condition" will be explored soon(ish) and your kids are... probably fine? I mean, what's the worst that could happen to them? All alone out there... only Kana and Annie to protect them... against the nearby Morgana... who hates you and wants to kill you and everything you love...
Wait a moment. What do you mean with probably fine. if something bad happens to the children, you will get acquainted with Harald the pitchfork and Hans the torch. I'm not the only one. I also have to say the game is awesome. Good story and I loaded extra old saves just to interact with the characters again.
Found her at the door Sunday afternoon, so I'd guess that weekend is correct. She wasn't there in the morning so make sure it's the right time. Thanks for the help!
There are NO official translations of CK at this moment. Any translations being done are entirely at the behest of the amazing fans that are doing them and you'd need to ask them directly, sorry!
I mean progressing further into the story and seeing the other characters again such as gramps. But it could be me just being an idiot and missing something important. lmk if I am missing something lol.
Yes, that's by design - when you hide the menu, the quick menu is also hidden. If you're not seeing the quick menu at all it's because you have it disabled in your preferences (open the preferences page, find "Quick Menu" and tap the "Enable" button) :)
How do I access CRESCENT HILLS? I like the game a lot, but it frustrates me A LOT and discourages me from playing it again or recommending it because I never found it "Intuitive", since I wasted 21 hours trying every possible combination (NPC, Time, etc) to advance the plot because I had to give a random object to any character. I understand that I am the only player that happened to him and that Game Desing is not easy at all, but a hint or tip would really help me a lot.
As i am aware about you not finding this game "intuitive", i don't really think you're that type of player that really reads at least 40% of this game. After all, you already had the hint/tip you needed to access Crescent Hills, if you did everything. So i can't really understand you. The hint/tip is very simple: Look at your "LEADS" and see what Mystery is saying (LEARN HOW TO FIGHT!). In short, you need to talk Jessica in Manor's Garden. She'll teach you how to battle with this new Combat System. Basically a tutorial. After this Crescent Hills be unlocked to attack. Hope this help.
If I'm going to tell you my pure opinion about this comment, you're just lazy and don't make the slightest effort to play a EASY game like this. Even a 10-year-old can solve the "mystery" to access Crescent Hills, although is a adult game so that's not possible to happen, at least is what i hope.
So instead of complaining and saying that is not playing again or reccomending to anyone this game and blaming TheArcadean because you find his/her (or any pronouns TheArcadean prefers) game not intuitive, you should look for LEADS that is literally a hint/tip for everything. Straight to the point: Use your brain, it's not for decoration.
For legal reasons, it's a variation on the university system to ensure that all the characters are 18 or above. If you choose to imagine it as something else, well, I can't stop you ;)
I'm curious how the college is going to turn out in act 3, will we see our students again? Also, is there anything I can do for the shy girl in the library?
There will be, yes! :) Content this week is mostly bugfixes and polishes to the new systems, but once that's dealt with I'll be focused on opening up more districts for players to conquer and new events to experience in each.
This is amazing! I love it. Best game EVER! The story line is FANTASTIC, the characters are great (Lyx is my favorite, she is so adorable), the menus are very easy to navigate & use, etc. I hope that you will continue to work on this great game!
Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that :) I've been working on CK for over three years and I intend to keep on going until it's finished, and then immediately start up the next game! I love what I do, and all of you for making it possible,
Ah, you're welcome. I'm sorry for the late reply. I've been so busy with work. I have an idea for your game. Can you make it possible for Rosy & her child counterpart to meet each other. I was a little disappointed when I couldn't do it, I would be so happy if you made it possible via an option when going to Rosy's desert. Can you think about it? I would love it so much if they could meet.
It would really have to be for the MC, and you almost never see him so... uh, tah-dah! Overlord cosplay is now in the game, thanks to the power of imaginaaaaaaaation! ;)
I have something to ask, and it is kind of over 300 days late, but what is the are style is being used here? I know it is called anime style i don't belive it
I just wanna see something between Arty and the MC <3 And maybe more succubi since I'm a HUGE fan of succubi but was kinda disappointed the one we got looked like a child rather than a seductress.
also, I have a question... and this is open for everyone not just the dev... wtf is with the current trend of women making stupid faces with their tongues out? Does anyone actually find that attractive? Maybe I'm just an old fart but everyone I've asked doesn't understand it either. Literally the ONLY thing I dislike about this game is that all the females make that face when they 'finish'. total mood killer imho.
think you meant ahegao. There a lot kind of -gao, ahegao is just one of the most popular. It supposed to mean the girls feeling pleasure so much it fucked their brain out (also used just to say they cummed). So people just like to see the girls feeling good.
Nothing wrong with you because everyone have their own preferences. If dev want to add setting to disable the ahegao, they might do it only after the game is finished.
No, I mean in general. Like, every instagram, OF, or whatever chick posting selfies does that same stupid thing. Tongue out like they are Gene Simmons. It is right up there with the "duck lips" for absurdity, imo lol
Hey Arc your game is incredible its by far the best visual novel game I've ever played, I'm not sure if someone has asked this yet but I was just wondering will there be more scenes of Morgana?
1 - Are you planning to add more content after the conclusion of the main CK story?
2 - According to the CK wiki, Viola is the cosplay store manager, will we be able to meet her someday and use Awaken/Shatter on her?
3 - About the beast, the other one? And if so can we have a female version to give lots of ❤️?
4 - After a night of love and effort, will we have the chance to see a Lil Claire?
5 - Will there be a chance to kill or dominate the little tree when the time comes?
6 - When will we see our old friend Mark (Gwen) and Tom (Jessica) again? We haven’t finished honing our punching and humiliation skills.
7 - Will the main characters who haven’t gotten pregnant yet in act two get pregnant in act three?
8 - According to an old patreon post the house ladies will get pregnant, (Isaac son of Laura needs a brother/sister) as well as many other secondary girls will this be added before the end of the main story or after?
1. Yes, after CK concludes and goes into beta I will spend a few months (whilst simultaneously working on the prototype for the next game, which people will also have access to) polishing up the content, making QoL changes and adding new content across the three acts, plus epilogue. Also, translations.
2. I'll be honest... I keep forgetting she exists. I'll probably have to add her in during the beta phase at this point... unless I make her a surprise badass in Act Three, now that the combat system is out...
3. A "romanceable" Beast is something a lot of people have been requesting... we'll see... ;P
4. Yes, Claire will able to get pregnant in Act Three
5. You will have a LOT of options on what to do with Morgana when the time comes. Lots of people have lots of ideas, so I want to make sure everyone walks away satisfied ;)
6. Act Three. They're coming back with a vengeance!
7. Yes, all main characters will be able to get pregnant, as well as most side girls and one shots, but the end of the game :)
8. See answer to question 7 :)
Hope that answers all your questions, but if not, or if you have any more, just let me know!
So, your answer to number 7... all the kunoichi as well, I assume?
Also, I have a question regarding the children... Are we going to see them grow up into teens and possibly adults? I ask for two reasons and nothing sexual... 1) the way Arty described it was, to me, that they mature rapidly to adult within a month or two. 2) some of the kids would be bad-ass to recruit in the fight system. I'd love to see the wolf girls fight side by side and see how K-chan protects her cub.
One other question... Did you intentionally parody Batgirl / Oracle? I don't want to say the character and give spoilers so I'm hoping you get my reference.
Oh no, I don't the children to grow up but the idea is damn good. Maybe they could help fighting against little minion or support by giving bonus buff to conquered area (if conquered area can be taken back by enemy).
I don’t think the children will grow up to help in the battle, but I would be surprised if they did.
Since it would be more work for Arc and people would ask to have a romance with the children, which Arc doesn’t want to do because the patreon would punish and financially harm.
yeahhh... incest is NOT Wincest lol That was why I made a point to say "nothing sexual". I was just thinking how cool it would be to run into battle with two wolf chicks and two flame biotches.
"Will the kids grow up" is something that's been asked a fair amount... and not always with the most innocent of intentions... and pretty much for that reason the answer is "no". Artifact states that the energy within the kids accelerates their growth by a few years but burns out after that so no more accelerated growth specifically to avoid the kids growing into adults and me having to field endless "why can't I do naughty things with them!?" questions :P
There's too many issues and problems around it, not to mention the biggest one: that Patreon would ban me from the platform for that kind of thing!
She's not a parody of Oracle, but once "the incident" happened I realised it'd be a good role for her to play so I leaned a little more into the reference :)
The reason for "the incident" was to drive home the fact that there are consequences for the MC's behaviour and because my family has a history of working with and for the physically disadvantaged and it's something I'd like to shine more of a light on - as tastefully and respectfully as possible.
Wow, I didn’t think you would say that about Viola, well it’s your choice to add her in the beta phase or as a surprise in Act Three, but it would be nice to be able to see what she will look like and maybe use Awaken/Shatter on her.
I hope a female and romantic beast happens I wonder what this romace should be like… As the beast seems to have more than one eye I wonder if the appearance of the beast would be something close to this:
(If a female body has not been made yet you can create a female version based on these images if you like any…)
The girl in the first picture is the most similar to the beast…
You make us happy, I can’t wait to see Lil Claire.
All characters get pregnant the end of the game? NICE!!!
Santa Arc 🎄 thank you for these gifts 🎁 that will be coming.
I agree 100% with that last sentence! I've been a console game journalist professionally for almost 20 years now and I have to say I haven't been hooked on any game in the past 5 years or more as I have been to this one.I don't like using PC for gaming and mine is old and out dated by far, but I happened upon this game and spent almost 33 hours straight playing it, stopping only to eat, sleep, or bathe lol And you can be sure once my funds settle a bit (paying off a huge loan) I'll be throwing money toward it!
Update is out right now on Patreon and Subscribestar (with a patched version releasing in a few hours... yay for early-access bugs!)
The public version will be released on Wednesday (a day earlier than normal, as the early access version went up a day early too) right here as usual.
Sorry to make everyone wait! But also, it might be for the best since you get the fully polished version, free of all the weirdness I've been patching out all morning... :P
I can't seem to find this. Is there something you have to do to unlock it or? (Also I'm at the very end of act 2 (just so I can continue to access everything like normal for now))
At the top of the screen, on the right hand side, you should see a collection of icons. Click the one that looks like a heart, then click the girl you want to see a hint for. At the bottom of the screen that pops open you should see a box that says "HINT:" followed by the hint for the girl's progression :)
Update was just released on Patreon and Subscribestar. Public version will go live in a few days. I'd have liked to release it to everyone today but that wouldn't be fair to all the amazing people who support me.

Hi I'm is anyone else were of the android version has a zip file instead of a simple download?
Because my own android phone won't expect the zip what should I do?
When you download the zip file go to your file Explorer app and press on the zip, and choose to extract and extract into download ör anywhere else you would like
Yea my phone is gen6
Yeah, it's something that the Itch uploader does randomly and I have no control over it - sorry!
It's very easy to extract, though. Doesn't matter what generation your phone is - the extraction is done via app (such as Google's own: https://support.google.com/files/answer/9048509?hl=en-GB ) and so your phone can handle it. Plus, zip files are almost as old as the internet so you could extract it on a potato ;P
So is their only 1 available battle up to now? Or am I missing something?
There's only one right now.
As mentioned at the top of the changelog, only Crescent Hills is conquerable for now :)
where do you find Jessica in the beginning of chapter 3
She's on the front door, but I think she only appears on sunday afternoon
to unlock combat, go to the garden wednesday morning
Jessica can be found in the bathroom on WEDNESDAY MORNING and at the front door on SUNDAY AFTERNOON. I'll be adding more spawn locations for her in the next update so it won't be so hard to find her. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Sounds good to me. 👍
About that "Coincidence" does that mean that executing a lot of People can Net you a Bad Ending?
hi, i loved this game first i played and its been a while, i was wondering if i redownload ck again will i have to download all the updates?
No, each update file is a standalone, meaning you only need to download the latest version and it comes with the full game (so far) :)
thank you very much, im excited to go into it again!, round 2!
I really love this game.
What are some games that are similar to it. The ones that i know of are champion of realms and overpowered(yoshigames) so yeah what are some other vns like this?
Harem Hotel, Lucky Paradox
As well as Yeshmiyek's recommendations, I can also highly recommend "Heroes Harem Guild". The dev actually started out in the CK Discord and is an incredibly talented programmer and writer!
funny enough, i actually just started playing HHG and i was wondering why some of the mechanics felt like CK, i just finished the prologue and i cant wait for the next update of that, the story at times genuinely made me cry, like this game.
I would highly reccomend HHG if you enjoy CK
I made a mistake, I copy pasted the game instead of extracting because I read the patch note too late. So, I deleted my existing game and downloaded a fresh one and played again from the start and it seems that I'm kinda stucked around strategize with jessica. How can I fix this?

Oh that's great! I'd love to. where will you post the ad?
It will be posted here on Itch, on Patreon and Subscribestar and in the CK Discord server. Priority will be given to existing members of the server as I believe in hiring from within the community :)

Well i can't answer your question but i have a question for you
What are your favorite games in the genre besides this one
Dev singular, I'm afraid - it's just me. But thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and I hope you stick around and enjoy everything I have planned for the future, too!

I can't fight any other place than crescent hill. Is this intentional? Is there something I'm supposed to do before I invade the others?
Its in the patch notes above, you are doing everything correct, currently that is the only one available. Others will become available faster now that the combat system has been completed.
Arcadean. You work so hard for us. You and your helpers. We thank you. We all thank you so much from the bottoms of our hearts. I wish I could give you a great big ol tight bear hug. Please don't overwork yourselves. We all love ya and what you do for us. Take care of yourselves. >^w^<
Aww, thank you! I'd take you up on the bear hug, but the last few weeks have left me a shrivelled husk of ouchies and you'd probably snap me like a brittle twig ;)
Я очень хочу их увидеть когда они появятся скажите пожалуйста
Они появятся, как только вы завоюете достаточно территорий :)
I presume they mean "when in the story", already explained it to some point
Крч вкратце: весь движ начинается во втором акте. Минотавриха (вторая картинка) появляется после того как откроется Нексус у Морганы (тут зависит от прохождения, в среднем +- пару часов). Куноичи (первый арт) находится на живых источниках в горах (второй акт -> сесть на поезд -> hot springs). Важно: НЕ ВЫКАЧИВАЙ МАГИЮ ИНАЧЕ НЕ ОТКРОЕШЬ НОВЫЕ ЗАКЛИНАНИЯ (читы на стату и деньги будут в твоей комнате во втором акте на компьютере. Ну или можешь изменить файл renpy в папке с игрой. Консоль разработчика открывается shift+o, в интернете найдешь если что). Сначала исследуй окраины (Outskirts -> explore, там надо будет направления выбирать) найди Ведьму и пройди все испытания. Может показаться начало мутным, но просто дойди до этого момента
Really Waiting Now For More War Content(My Inner NCD is Showing),but i also want More Emma Content we Really Need to Turn Her Back to Normal and also ARC WHERE IS MY KIDS ARC?? I WANT MY CHILDREN.I Can Feel my Transformation into a Overprotective Dad.
More war content coming in every update! Plus events and fun things. Though maybe not in the next update as this week has pretty much just been bugfixing :P
Emma's "condition" will be explored soon(ish) and your kids are... probably fine? I mean, what's the worst that could happen to them? All alone out there... only Kana and Annie to protect them... against the nearby Morgana... who hates you and wants to kill you and everything you love...
You are Going to Make Me Turn Back Time And Send My Kids to The Artifact at this Rate Arc.
But they'll miss you so much!
Wait a moment. What do you mean with probably fine. if something bad happens to the children, you will get acquainted with Harald the pitchfork and Hans the torch. I'm not the only one. I also have to say the game is awesome. Good story and I loaded extra old saves just to interact with the characters again.
Ok I'm probably just blind/dumb but I need to strategise with Jessica and she doesn't seem to exist anywhere?
from what i have been able to find out she should be in the garden, but she is missing for me aswell so is there a step we'r missing?
she's at the door on the weekend i think
Found her at the door Sunday afternoon, so I'd guess that weekend is correct. She wasn't there in the morning so make sure it's the right time. Thanks for the help!
no problem
Can we only attack crescent hill at the moment?
As mentioned at the top of the changelog, yes, Crescent Hills is the only available district to conquer right now :)
ITS HERE, THE MAD MAN DID IT, EVERYONE STAY CALM THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
...is it a hammer?
KEEP CALM AND READ THE CHANGELOG, PEOPLE!
is the crescent hill the only one available
As mentioned at the top of the changelog, yes, Crescent Hills is the only available district to conquer right now :)
will the public version be Russified or will it have to wait?
There are NO official translations of CK at this moment. Any translations being done are entirely at the behest of the amazing fans that are doing them and you'd need to ask them directly, sorry!
when is act 3 expected to release publicly?
It was already released when you posted this :) You can find the links at the top of this page
I mean progressing further into the story and seeing the other characters again such as gramps. But it could be me just being an idiot and missing something important. lmk if I am missing something lol.
Not sure if it is a bug or what but the deployable menu seems to remove the skip, back,save etc buttons
Yes, that's by design - when you hide the menu, the quick menu is also hidden. If you're not seeing the quick menu at all it's because you have it disabled in your preferences (open the preferences page, find "Quick Menu" and tap the "Enable" button) :)
As i am aware about you not finding this game "intuitive", i don't really think you're that type of player that really reads at least 40% of this game. After all, you already had the hint/tip you needed to access Crescent Hills, if you did everything. So i can't really understand you. The hint/tip is very simple: Look at your "LEADS" and see what Mystery is saying (LEARN HOW TO FIGHT!). In short, you need to talk Jessica in Manor's Garden. She'll teach you how to battle with this new Combat System. Basically a tutorial. After this Crescent Hills be unlocked to attack. Hope this help.
If I'm going to tell you my pure opinion about this comment, you're just lazy and don't make the slightest effort to play a EASY game like this. Even a 10-year-old can solve the "mystery" to access Crescent Hills, although is a adult game so that's not possible to happen, at least is what i hope.
So instead of complaining and saying that is not playing again or reccomending to anyone this game and blaming TheArcadean because you find his/her (or any pronouns TheArcadean prefers) game not intuitive, you should look for LEADS that is literally a hint/tip for everything. Straight to the point: Use your brain, it's not for decoration.
why is the android download a .zip?
Extract it and then install it
Because Butler (the Itch uploader) randomly packages .apk files in .zip files for reasons known only to itself and whatever dark god it worships.
What type of college is this?
Like, is it a high school or a university?
For legal reasons, it's a variation on the university system to ensure that all the characters are 18 or above. If you choose to imagine it as something else, well, I can't stop you ;)
I see that you are a law abiding citizen, and no, i don't imagine such things, i asked because it's my duty to be doing things by the law
I'm curious how the college is going to turn out in act 3, will we see our students again? Also, is there anything I can do for the shy girl in the library?
Quiet Girl and Sword Girl will have their mysteries explored in Act Three, provided you maxed out your Authority in the college in Act Two :)
I kinda miss having fun with our little fairy Fren pixxie! Will there be more content with her soon???
There will be, yes! :) Content this week is mostly bugfixes and polishes to the new systems, but once that's dealt with I'll be focused on opening up more districts for players to conquer and new events to experience in each.
Awesome!!! Can't wait for moar!
Всем привет, может кто-нибудь подсказать как открыть последний костюм на Джессику?
Update Day!
This is amazing! I love it. Best game EVER! The story line is FANTASTIC, the characters are great (Lyx is my favorite, she is so adorable), the menus are very easy to navigate & use, etc. I hope that you will continue to work on this great game!
Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that :) I've been working on CK for over three years and I intend to keep on going until it's finished, and then immediately start up the next game! I love what I do, and all of you for making it possible,
Ah, you're welcome. I'm sorry for the late reply. I've been so busy with work. I have an idea for your game. Can you make it possible for Rosy & her child counterpart to meet each other. I was a little disappointed when I couldn't do it, I would be so happy if you made it possible via an option when going to Rosy's desert. Can you think about it? I would love it so much if they could meet.
Where is that so-and-so going to find him in the suburbs?的
Sorry, I have no idea what you're asking. I just woke up and I'm very sleepy ^_^;
Please add Overlord cosplay. I'm not sure for who but it will be good.
It would really have to be for the MC, and you almost never see him so... uh, tah-dah! Overlord cosplay is now in the game, thanks to the power of imaginaaaaaaaation! ;)
Oh no! Now I can hear MC talking in Ainz's voice. HELP!!!
Hey! So when is the update?
It's out right now for Patreon and Subscribestar, and will be available publicly from tomorrow morning :)
oh great! so even though the internet gods said harder daddy you kept firm and made them bend to your will. nice!
I like this analogy and I'm going to pretend that's literally what happened!
as soon as i get the new update i am heading directly to the outskirts, i wanna see gramps :(
I wanna see mah kids! And who's Gramps🤣
(this is a joke, but I still wanna see my kids)
New update doesn't open up the Outskirts yet, sorry! Got to conquer a bunch of districts first :P
I have something to ask, and it is kind of over 300 days late, but what is the are style is being used here? I know it is called anime style i don't belive it
Koikatsu
Show post...
東方 style (not western)
IT IS ALMOST HERE, EVERYONE BREATHE
DON'T PANIC! DON'T PANIC!
I AM OKAY I SWEAR I AM OKAY
cant wait to see what we can do this update!!!
patiently awaiting more smol chest character content
Well now I'm thinking of kawaii chest bursters...
I just wanna see something between Arty and the MC <3 And maybe more succubi since I'm a HUGE fan of succubi but was kinda disappointed the one we got looked like a child rather than a seductress.
also, I have a question... and this is open for everyone not just the dev... wtf is with the current trend of women making stupid faces with their tongues out? Does anyone actually find that attractive? Maybe I'm just an old fart but everyone I've asked doesn't understand it either. Literally the ONLY thing I dislike about this game is that all the females make that face when they 'finish'. total mood killer imho.
think you meant ahegao. There a lot kind of -gao, ahegao is just one of the most popular. It supposed to mean the girls feeling pleasure so much it fucked their brain out (also used just to say they cummed). So people just like to see the girls feeling good.
Nothing wrong with you because everyone have their own preferences. If dev want to add setting to disable the ahegao, they might do it only after the game is finished.
No, I mean in general. Like, every instagram, OF, or whatever chick posting selfies does that same stupid thing. Tongue out like they are Gene Simmons. It is right up there with the "duck lips" for absurdity, imo lol
Hey Arc your game is incredible its by far the best visual novel game I've ever played, I'm not sure if someone has asked this yet but I was just wondering will there be more scenes of Morgana?
Thanks.
Aww, thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)
Yes, there will be a LOT more scenes with Morgana, especially now that the new systems have been released for Act Three. Big stuff on its way!
I have some questions.
1 - Are you planning to add more content after the conclusion of the main CK story?
2 - According to the CK wiki, Viola is the cosplay store manager, will we be able to meet her someday and use Awaken/Shatter on her?
3 - About the beast, the other one? And if so can we have a female version to give lots of ❤️?
4 - After a night of love and effort, will we have the chance to see a Lil Claire?
5 - Will there be a chance to kill or dominate the little tree when the time comes?
6 - When will we see our old friend Mark (Gwen) and Tom (Jessica) again? We haven’t finished honing our punching and humiliation skills.
7 - Will the main characters who haven’t gotten pregnant yet in act two get pregnant in act three?
8 - According to an old patreon post the house ladies will get pregnant, (Isaac son of Laura needs a brother/sister) as well as many other secondary girls will this be added before the end of the main story or after?
I have some answers!
1. Yes, after CK concludes and goes into beta I will spend a few months (whilst simultaneously working on the prototype for the next game, which people will also have access to) polishing up the content, making QoL changes and adding new content across the three acts, plus epilogue. Also, translations.
2. I'll be honest... I keep forgetting she exists. I'll probably have to add her in during the beta phase at this point... unless I make her a surprise badass in Act Three, now that the combat system is out...
3. A "romanceable" Beast is something a lot of people have been requesting... we'll see... ;P
4. Yes, Claire will able to get pregnant in Act Three
5. You will have a LOT of options on what to do with Morgana when the time comes. Lots of people have lots of ideas, so I want to make sure everyone walks away satisfied ;)
6. Act Three. They're coming back with a vengeance!
7. Yes, all main characters will be able to get pregnant, as well as most side girls and one shots, but the end of the game :)
8. See answer to question 7 :)
Hope that answers all your questions, but if not, or if you have any more, just let me know!
So, your answer to number 7... all the kunoichi as well, I assume?
Also, I have a question regarding the children... Are we going to see them grow up into teens and possibly adults? I ask for two reasons and nothing sexual... 1) the way Arty described it was, to me, that they mature rapidly to adult within a month or two. 2) some of the kids would be bad-ass to recruit in the fight system. I'd love to see the wolf girls fight side by side and see how K-chan protects her cub.
One other question... Did you intentionally parody Batgirl / Oracle? I don't want to say the character and give spoilers so I'm hoping you get my reference.
Oh no, I don't the children to grow up but the idea is damn good. Maybe they could help fighting against little minion or support by giving bonus buff to conquered area (if conquered area can be taken back by enemy).
I don’t think the children will grow up to help in the battle, but I would be surprised if they did.
Since it would be more work for Arc and people would ask to have a romance with the children, which Arc doesn’t want to do because the patreon would punish and financially harm.
yeahhh... incest is NOT Wincest lol That was why I made a point to say "nothing sexual". I was just thinking how cool it would be to run into battle with two wolf chicks and two flame biotches.
Kunoichi as well, yes, that's the plan :)
"Will the kids grow up" is something that's been asked a fair amount... and not always with the most innocent of intentions... and pretty much for that reason the answer is "no". Artifact states that the energy within the kids accelerates their growth by a few years but burns out after that so no more accelerated growth specifically to avoid the kids growing into adults and me having to field endless "why can't I do naughty things with them!?" questions :P
There's too many issues and problems around it, not to mention the biggest one: that Patreon would ban me from the platform for that kind of thing!
She's not a parody of Oracle, but once "the incident" happened I realised it'd be a good role for her to play so I leaned a little more into the reference :)
The reason for "the incident" was to drive home the fact that there are consequences for the MC's behaviour and because my family has a history of working with and for the physically disadvantaged and it's something I'd like to shine more of a light on - as tastefully and respectfully as possible.
Wow, I didn’t think you would say that about Viola, well it’s your choice to add her in the beta phase or as a surprise in Act Three, but it would be nice to be able to see what she will look like and maybe use Awaken/Shatter on her.
I hope a female and romantic beast happens I wonder what this romace should be like… As the beast seems to have more than one eye I wonder if the appearance of the beast would be something close to this:
(If a female body has not been made yet you can create a female version based on these images if you like any…)
The girl in the first picture is the most similar to the beast…
You make us happy, I can’t wait to see Lil Claire.
All characters get pregnant the end of the game? NICE!!!
Santa Arc 🎄 thank you for these gifts 🎁 that will be coming.
I agree 100% with that last sentence! I've been a console game journalist professionally for almost 20 years now and I have to say I haven't been hooked on any game in the past 5 years or more as I have been to this one.I don't like using PC for gaming and mine is old and out dated by far, but I happened upon this game and spent almost 33 hours straight playing it, stopping only to eat, sleep, or bathe lol And you can be sure once my funds settle a bit (paying off a huge loan) I'll be throwing money toward it!
Wonder how many ppl are watching this rn to see if the update comes before the end of today lol
I've been popping in and out every few hours
same
Same
earlyer he said it wont be out for a couple days
Update is out right now on Patreon and Subscribestar (with a patched version releasing in a few hours... yay for early-access bugs!)
The public version will be released on Wednesday (a day earlier than normal, as the early access version went up a day early too) right here as usual.
Sorry to make everyone wait! But also, it might be for the best since you get the fully polished version, free of all the weirdness I've been patching out all morning... :P
"Weirdness"... Did you somehow program Pixie to despise ice cream? XD
Man, I wish... I might finally get a shot at some mint chocolate chip!
Where can I see the character hint screen in the mobile version? Tried everything in the UI and can't find it.
Press the heart at the top and choose the character you Want to see the Hint of
To add to what Denjicsmmakima said, you need to be in Act Two and be able to exit the Manor before the UI will appear
I can't seem to find this. Is there something you have to do to unlock it or? (Also I'm at the very end of act 2 (just so I can continue to access everything like normal for now))
At the top of the screen, on the right hand side, you should see a collection of icons. Click the one that looks like a heart, then click the girl you want to see a hint for. At the bottom of the screen that pops open you should see a box that says "HINT:" followed by the hint for the girl's progression :)
Oh, I just never noticed the hint, as I'm blind af XD. Thank you. Also loved the newest update.
wait is it coming out on patreon only or will it be uploaded here as well
Update was just released on Patreon and Subscribestar. Public version will go live in a few days. I'd have liked to release it to everyone today but that wouldn't be fair to all the amazing people who support me.
you should have just given the patreons a little somthing extra to make up for releasing both the same day
