If you're finding Jessica by the pool then you're still in Act Two :) You need to be in Act Three to see any of these changes.

Can't open the zip on Android

Follow these steps:

How come the android downloads a zip file instead of apk?

(+1)

It's something Butler (the Itch uploader) does randomly and nobody can figure out why.

Lead says to strategise with Jessica but i can't find jessica

I think she is in the bathroom on Wednesdays.

Search her in the garden

She is in the bathroom on WEDNESDAY mornings and at the front door on SUNDAY AFTERNOONS. In the next update (out tomorrow for pledges, Thursday for everyone else) you will be able to call her to the living room any time you like. Sorry for the inconvencience!

What is difference between keep or destroy relic at beginning of act 3

It has a big effect on the later part of the game, but that's not in yet - and no spoilers, sorry! :)

Hi!

All the components of the game are good - the plot, graphics, and music. 

You did a good job!

The only question that haunts me is whether the choice to lie to Pixie about loving her or to say it as the truth affects the further attitude towards her...?)

I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)

As for the Pixie truth/lie thing, it only affects certain dialogues - the MC will either genuinely care about Pixie's wellbeing and will be more patient with her if true, or he won't care about her at all, except as the thing keeping him alive, and he'll be far less patient if lie.

Hello, big fan of your work. 

I noticed that on android, the quick menu doesnt work no matter what i do with the deployable menu (i made sure it is enabled in options) , when i enable it then close the game and re open it, it goes back to being disabled, and even when i enabled mid gameplay, it does not show up. 

Just to be clear (so I know what to look for in the code), you're enabling the quick menu in Preferences and you're clicking on the arrow on the top-left of the screen to make the top bar visible? And the quick menu still isn't showing up?

That is correct. The top bar is visible, the quick menu is enabled in prefrences, but it does not show up. 

If there is any info i can provide to make debugging easier, just ask. 

Thank you for your hard work, we appreciate it.

I can't find chloe around here, any tips?

If you're in Act Three then she's not  in-game yet, sorry! Except as a fighter for the combat system. I will be starting to add everyone back into the Manor again now that the big new systems are out :)

okay

Will shatter ever get used on besides Gwen?

Assuming you mean aside from Chloe? There are some places I've seen it as an option, and while most of these are for minor characters or simple exploration scenes there is at least one character aside from Chloe who merits a "heart card" that it can be used on ( although not used right away ).

Shatter can already be used on multiple different characters and is a core ability for the combat system that was released this week, so... yes? :)

Game keeps crashing

can't get past 5 minutes

What is the error you're getting, what does the traceback.txt say and what OS are you on?

If I'm coming from an older version will it corrupt my saves to update to the newest?

I work extremely hard to ensure that all saves remain compatible with future versions, and in 99% of cases all saves remain compatible forever. However, sometimes things do go wrong (especially if the game wasn't saved in a "safe" area) so I can't guarantee anything unfortunately.

Same thing happened to me but i think might have better idea of what got affected , you see i made a save before going to church with  chastity which was unaffected but one of my save that i made when making a choice between keeping the relic or destroy it got affected .

Awesome keep up the great work!

I wanted to take a moment to say that you've done a great job at creating some adorable and wholesome interactions with the MC's children in this game. Normally this is something that wouldn't grab my attention at all, but then you see something like Kana's daughter dancing in the background at the festival and you can't help but smile.

(+2)

Thanks, I'm glad you like these wholesome little scenes :) I actually really enjoy writing them, so I'm always glad for an excuse to do it more.

Hey Arc not sure if anyone's asked this yet but I was just wondering will there be more content inside the Club upgrade for the Bar like going on dates with different girls inside of it?

Not until the game moves into beta, no. I'm trying not to add anything to Act Two now that the game's moved into its third act because I don't want to force people to replay content over and over.

will i miss out on any real content if i just go full on evil?, with the conquest i dont lan on killing anyone but i do still want to be as evil as i can.

from my experimenting not at all, from what I've been able to tell it's not a very strong influence on the story so much as... a influence on how events play out (that said I tend to awaken over break which might be where that road differs)

Nope! The game allows you to approach scenarios as more "kind" or "cruel" but it's not interested in making a judgement call on your choices. You won't be locked out of routes based on your decisions (but that's not to say there won't be consequences) and all content will be available in a single playthrough :)

(1 edit)

A quick couple of questions about the combat: will every district have a leader like Chelsea? And will recruiting them rather than exiling or executing them have some impact on the story?

Yes and no in that order :)

Yes, every district will have a Boss (mostly girls, but sometimes not - as in the case of The Chief) but choosing to recruit, imprison, exile or kill won't usually have an effect on the story, beyond altering people's reactions to you and your actions (execute a lot of people and you may earn the "Monster" title, or recruit everyone and become known as an "Incubus"). There's 40+ districts in the first map alone so not every leader can have an impact.

That being said, there are exceptions, and when you come across a story-critical boss, the game will let you know they're special in some way.

This actually brings up something stirring around in my head. When you Shatter Maven, her girls are not affected and just blindly fall in line after you give the order to retain old behavior. So what happens when you execute Maven? The forest is clearly empty after. Did the rest of the minions get silenced as well? I'm running parallel games to see Kana's reaction to each. 

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!

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.

(+4)

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 :)

(+1)

Sounds good to me. 👍

(1 edit)

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) :)

(+1)

thank you very much, im excited to go into it again!, round 2!

(+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?

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.

(+1)

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~

(+1)

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.

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 :)

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)

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

(+2)

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.

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?

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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^<

(+1)

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 

(+2)

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 :)

(+3)

ITS HERE, THE MAD MAN DID IT, EVERYONE STAY CALM THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

(+5)

...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) :)

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.
(2 edits) (+4)

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?

(+1)

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!
