I love this game, really ^^ At the point that i'm immersed in the lore of it. Every interaction in the game it's so... idk how to say it, realistic? relatable? but I love every part of this game XD
It's one of the best games of this genre that I've played in so much time.
Please, keep up the food work, this has a LOT of potential in matter of animation, and writing :')
Hey, thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! I really means a lot to any dev - especially a solo one - to hear that his work resonates even slightly with someone :)
I hope you enjoy everything I have planned for the future of CK (and its sequels)!
You can’t, if you pay close attention to the ending of act 1, using Awaken on her didn’t do crap.
Shatter was the only option because unlike Gwen - who wanted to find somewhere (or someone) to belong - Chloe just wants us dead, Awaken can’t work with those desires.
AHHHHH I finally hit act 3 (lots of issues with my pc but finally able to sit down at it again) AND HOLY MOLEY, I... did not expect that, and some of the results of the end literally made me tear up, good writing, I've said this before but you're really good at getting me invested into characters
Thanks for the kind words! It always means a lot to me to hear that people connect with the characters, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future! :)
How do I update my save file from the previous version of the game to the most resent? Ik there are instructions on the other updates but I don't really know if I'm doing it right
The Itch launcher can sometimes erase manual saves (I have zero idea why and it's not something I can affect in any case, sadly) but it does keep the autosaves.
Autosaves can be found on the LOAD screen - just click the "A" to the left of the page numbers down near the bottom.
After a few months of not playing, I have gotten back into this game, and this is the first time of me commenting, excluding me complaining about the lack of content on the Wiki the other day, I have a few theories, questions and... other things that I can't remember what is called. In other words... I have gone mad and will make you suffer with me. Let's start simple! Where does this game take place? Looking at the location, with mountains close to a seaside town, that was once a trading port, does not narrow it down, as there are many locations like that, such as the Lakes, Appalachia, and third example. Then there is the uniform in the college. I Google what countries have school uniforms. I got this image of wikipedia:
Then there is the language: English. All this evidence made me think if this took place on Earth, then it would probably be happening in England. Then I remembered that lots of people have guns, namely the Organisation. But would they count as a security force? was my next though. So yes, you are British. You get bad teeth. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
Next, how old is the MC? He has to be over 18, because of real world laws. I would guess between 20 and 30 as that would seem to be the best bet for a protagonist, as most protagonists in fiction are more likely to be younger
I swear I had more, but I have forgotten. Anyway, Arc, if you see this, can you confirm this? Also what is happening with Lomleg, the robot Lyx made. Did you forget, or is it happening in act 3? It's just not that clear
Chris kinda covered it all, but just so there's an "official" response... :)
Location is left deliberately vague:
1. Uniform is for college, not school, which is privately run and therefore up to the owner of the college, so could be anywhere.
2. Language is English because that's the most widely-spoken language and thus the best for an initial game release, but other languages will be included once the game enters beta. So still not a "tell".
3. Who says this is even the Earth we know? The Nexus is a thing, after all, and at no point have I said "Hey, player! This is the Earth you're living on, too!"
In summary: DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN!
Age of MC is left up to the player. For legal reasons he's 18 or over, but if you want to imagine him in your head as a different age, I can't stop you.
Lomeg will make a return in Act Three, but you need access to Lyx plus a powerful battery first. MC wasn't really bothered about it in Act Two (frankly, it would have been a problem then if he'd had a large cardboard-covered robot following him around) but now? He's definitely into the idea of a WarBot, yes. As is Lyx, worryingly...
haven't played for a year and i've downloaded the new version to run my save and it throws an error on my most recent save, i don't mind playing from the beginning again tbh...
the start music is really great. anyway, here is the error.
and sorry if this has already been posted i wasn't sure where to post bugs or issues specifically.

Are you getting an error message or just a straight-up "game turns off and throws me back to homescreen"? Does it always happen at the same point? If you quickly tap through can you get further?
Try completely powering down your phone and turning it back on again - it's a meme at this point but it really does solve 90% of the weird error reports that come in.
Just conquer the district, that's it :) If you win by reducing HP or WP to zero, select the "Throw her in the dungeon" option and then you can visit her to "convince" her to join. Alternatively, if you win using Shatter you can just immediately select the "Recruit" option after the final battle.
You find clues in certain places, but the order is:
“Save” the Witch: North West South |
Find the Hat: South South South > Drift |
Talk to Witch: West West West
Someone gave you the directions already, but yeah.
The system doesn’t work like a map, it’s just a combination of directions in a specific order like a password.
And it’s set up so if you go to a “null” direction, the game will make you stumble upon a location you haven’t seen before.
Locations you have seen you can check on the Remember option.
Also, the locations in the remember thing are kept through saves.
But yeah, the Goblin Witch, you find her then she tells you to go all the way south (S->S->S) after that when you find her hat you’re supposed to check it in your inventory to know where to find her next.
Burning building is in the town, it even gives you hints if you check other places.
But yeah, you’re not the first one to dislike the explore system.
another one related to the same issue, if your companion finishes off an enemy (only tested with lust but might work with phys) it wont actually register the killing until you do some damage of your own
hey so quick question, i've got an old .17.7 save file. I recently got a new computer and am trying to transfer my saves over to a new computer, saves show up fine on my old PC but when i update and transfer to my new pc nothing..
a bit stumped is there save data outside of the Itch.io folder like in docs i need to transfer as well?
*edit, when transfering on my external the saves show up on my old machine, but on my new machine they're blank even when launching from the drive
There are two save locations if you're using Windows, Linux or Mac. The second is supposed to be a backup system, but sometimes the game uses it as a primary location for some reason.
Since you said "PC" I'm going to assume you're on Windows, in which case the backup saves location is located at:
PC > Local Disk (usually C:) > Users > USERNAME > AppData > Roaming > RenPy > CorruptedKingdoms-1547378918
If you put your saves (plus "persistent" file!) in there, as well as in your game/save folder it should read your saves properly :)
HOLD UP, this isn't a Friday?? I was so used to seeing the updates on a Friday, not that I'm complaining, I love the updates you make. Though I'll have to play it tomorrow, I've caught a flu, and it sucks. I couldn't even get sleep, but if I feel better at night, I'll play it as soon as possible!
I usually get the updates at 12 AM on Fridays due to my timezone, so I always log in Fridays to get the updates, and I also get the notification a bit later, but for me it has been Friday, or Thursday nights, around 11 PM.
Thank you for keeping all the content free, it's frustrating having content blocked by paywall but i understand why creators do it. Anyways thank you :)
"This is an invisible step. If you see this message please report it !"
Okay so i'll report it... If you click on the heart to see your affinity and click the right and left arrow in the right up corner you can acces girl you didn't unlock yet.
I know it won’t happen and understand why it won’t happen but still it would be so hot to see some of these girls get an airtight session with a bunch of guys
I think I may have encountered a softlock on Android. Either that or the game is supposed to end there for now?
I'm at the murder mystery part of the game. I have all the evidence that you can get but when I present the evidence to the characters all but one of them says that I have nothing that proves they're lying. The only evidence that works for me is the diary entry.
Is this supposed to happen or is there something I'm missing? I'm really liking the game so far and I hope there's more after this point but I am more than willing to wait if there isn't.
As Chris mentioned, a Fey's true name is Important-with-a-capital-I. It gives you complete and utter control over them, up to and including the ability to simply blink them out of reality. You don't know the true name of any of the Fey.
So will MC ever learn it? Probably. But it won't happen in CK1, and likely not until CK3. Will the player ever learn it? Probably not. We'll see.
As for Shatter/Awaken, well that would be a plot spoiler... and no spoilers, sorry! ;)
Typically both. Since the dev just did a rather major content drop, it caused a lot of bugs with the existing code, so he still hammering out all the issues while still dropping content.
Sounds like you haven't unlocked the Org leads. Go to the Manor garden, read the note from Gramps, and then follow that questline until you open up the Org lead :)
Hi Arcadean, do you have a plan to make RPA Android Version of this game in the future?
Corrupted Kingdom (Currently the APK size is 1.5gb) and it takes too much time to install it and when the future updates comes and the increase of Size of the APK(2gb) android users cant install it anymore.
some of the NSFW Game Dev already done that too lower the size of APK and split the APK and RPA files such as
Stawer - Lucky Paradox
Jikei- Mythic Manor
Runey - Harem Hotel (someone from his discord server made it)
Yeah, the game getting chonk is one of Arc’s concerns.
I mean, the published date in this page is misleading. The game has been in development since June 2019.
And he has been taking some care in keeping filesizes low, considering he has to publish updates weekly and due to his lifestyle, having good internet is not always guaranteed.
Arc is trying to keep the final game under 2GB. Other games in this ecosystem get quite large very quickly.
The RPAs are an option, but at the same time it’s not the idea to make the installation process too much of a hassle for the end user.
Ideally, one could just tell them to download the PC version and use JoiPlay, but apparently that was also unreliable.
Up to Arc, I’m just answering because he sometimes takes a while to answer and I can cover some things on the question.
Splitting the APK into RPA files wouldn't decrease the installation time - it would in fact increase it. Unless you're hoping I separate out the RPAs into individual Acts, in which case I can't do that either as there's too many variables that rely on content from other Acts.
Also, as Chris says, it would be a lot harder for the casual user to install (which is most users - I already get two or three messages a week from people confused about how to install the APK) and I try to keep things as simple as possible for everyone.
I'm working hard to keep the filesize under 2GB, and it's looking promising. The game has been in development for nearly four years and has between one and two more years to go until it's complete, and it's still at 1.3GB, so... fingers crossed!
So, in short: no RPA splits are planned, although it's on the table if it becomes a necessity :)
Pixie is supposed to tell players this when they ask her what to do next, but apparently she's not saying the "Emma's room at night" part. I need to dig around in the code and find out why.
Hey arc this is like my 3rd time saying this lol but i really love this game and youre one of the best dev out there my top 1. Keep up the great work arc!!
Aww, thank you! That honestly means a lot to hear, no matter how many times it's repeated :) Always takes me by surprise too, even after three years of working on CK.
why am I always late to the updates, man. I was already asleep when the update was released, but, hey, I'm here now! And turns out I didn't have a flu, it was just withdraw effects of my happy meds.
I'm feeling much better! What about you? Are you still feeling sick? If so, you should just take a break. You do so much for the game, and it kind of worries me. You deserve to have enough sleep, so, if you ever start feeling bad, please, remember you are also a human being. I already cleared the content of the new update! Also, I love the creepy nun's hair??? I've always wanted to have hair that pretty, I guess mine is similar. But like, what kind of shampoo does she use?? Love your work, really.
I'm glad to hear it! :) And thanks - my cough is still hanging around, but it's manageable and getting better every day. No break for me until next month, and that's only a "maybe".
As for the nun's hair, you too can have such silken locks! All you need to do is sign this contract in your blood, right here on the dotted line... and here... and on this line that looks like a writhing tentacle...
Well, if you do take a break, I hope it goes well!
And I don't know if selling my soul for silky smooth hair might be the best idea. Not yet, maybe when I turn 18 I'll reconsider it! I really love every character in the game, and I did miss my weekly battle! But, you should always take rests, and it's great you are fixing the bugs! The naked Jessica one gave me mixed feelings, it was funny but sometimes it scared me.
Ludum diu secutus sum, unum quod semper me beatum facit quod ludus currit in quamlibet cellam telephonicam ( sorry i wrote in latin so maybe no one understands )
Thank you for playing so long - though it's Ren'py's developer PyTom that should be thanked for making sure the engine runs on so many devices.
As for the latin, just remember that the point of communication is to be understood. Anyone who deliberately obfuscates their meaning in order to appear intelligent is merely barba tenus sapientes.
Curious: I know its in the war-time part of development but will we ever be able to get Gwen and Chloe pregnant at any point in a future update?
I never mentioned anything before as I thought everyone in the relationship tab was going to get the same treatment. I also feel like Gwens condition would be more dramatic and impactful if she had a child before everything broke out or was pregnant when she became the way she is now.
Yes, not really soon, because war and stuff.
But it will happen.
There were some lore reasons and mechanical reasons why Gwen and Chloe couldn’t get preggernet on act 2.
Lore reason, they got hit with an ubercharged version of Awaken/Shatter, getting them pregnant would make them really unstable. They could go from having a miscarriage to exploding.
Mechanical reason, they have a lot of interactions and are really involved in the main story, which would make locking out interactions a pain in the nuts.
Add to that, the fact that while they might be technically at level 5, they haven’t had the amount of development a main girl at level 5 should have. That development will happen during act 3.
Similar boat to Chastity and Morgana.

I love this game, really ^^
At the point that i'm immersed in the lore of it.
Every interaction in the game it's so... idk how to say it, realistic? relatable? but I love every part of this game XD
It's one of the best games of this genre that I've played in so much time.
Please, keep up the food work, this has a LOT of potential in matter of animation, and writing :')
Hey, thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! I really means a lot to any dev - especially a solo one - to hear that his work resonates even slightly with someone :)
I hope you enjoy everything I have planned for the future of CK (and its sequels)!
Wait... So you did aaall of the current content in CK by yourself? :00
And it's going to have sequels? :000
Wow... To think that all this amaizing, funny, lewd and exciting content was made by a solo dev... Truly amazing :')
And inspiring in a certain way xD
Also, I have a question... Is there a way to replace the shatter in Chloe and replace it with awaken?... I'm currently on chapter 2
You can’t, if you pay close attention to the ending of act 1, using Awaken on her didn’t do crap.
Shatter was the only option because unlike Gwen - who wanted to find somewhere (or someone) to belong - Chloe just wants us dead, Awaken can’t work with those desires.
I see... Well, thank you ^^
Cut scenes seem to have a brief pause at the end of their loop- is this a known bug?
Sometimes if the “loop stutter” is noticeable enough, it gets fixed.
But plenty of times it’s just the end user’s machine doing it. Not exactly something Arc can fix.
Pretty sure its a bug, but the ramen recipe is gone after u unlock the sugar water. Maybe it's just me ?
Reported and fixed for the next version.
Next version will have a safeguard that gives you back the recipe you lost.
Hello! How many hours to complete all (last update)?
Every update is on average less than 15m of playtime. Sometimes even less.
Weekly updates, just one dev… Go figure.
But the entire game from start to finish is getting close to 20 hours.
This is why I've opted to wait until v0.19. Give me a good chunk of content to play through hopefully
Well, it’s not really guaranteed.
Some people believe every 0.x.0 means a milestone or anything. But no, the version number is just a counter :P
Although, yeah. For most people I’d say it’s best to just let content pile up. I - as bughunter/tech support - can’t afford such a priviledge.
AHHHHH I finally hit act 3 (lots of issues with my pc but finally able to sit down at it again) AND HOLY MOLEY, I... did not expect that, and some of the results of the end literally made me tear up, good writing, I've said this before but you're really good at getting me invested into characters
Thanks for the kind words! It always means a lot to me to hear that people connect with the characters, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future! :)
How do I update my save file from the previous version of the game to the most resent? Ik there are instructions on the other updates but I don't really know if I'm doing it right
Phone or Computer?
For phone, just download the new APK and install it. NOTE: Don’t uninstall the previous version, install the new one as an update.
On computer, just download the new thing and run it. Once you’ve seen it works you can delete the old one.
You could also use the itch.io launcher to keep the game up to date easier.
When I downloaded the new version, ran it, but my saves didn't transfer
The Itch launcher can sometimes erase manual saves (I have zero idea why and it's not something I can affect in any case, sadly) but it does keep the autosaves.
Autosaves can be found on the LOAD screen - just click the "A" to the left of the page numbers down near the bottom.
Does the itch launcher still have my data if I initially downloaded games without it?
Nvm I finally found out how to do it and it was easier than expected, thank you guys
After a few months of not playing, I have gotten back into this game, and this is the first time of me commenting, excluding me complaining about the lack of content on the Wiki the other day, I have a few theories, questions and... other things that I can't remember what is called. In other words... I have gone mad and will make you suffer with me. Let's start simple! Where does this game take place?

Honestly, if you’re up for crackhead theories and stuff. I believe they would be much more appreciated in the discord server.
Arc is the only one that can answer in depth (but problem is… will he answer?).
I can tackle some of it to start.
The location of the game is deliberately vague. Partially because Arc is trying to make elements easier for people to self insert.
But also Arc’s the type of guy that travels a lot. Due to that, he tends to incorporate elements from various cultures into an odd mismatch.
There’s also plenty of japanese influence in buildings and props due to the fact that the engine used for the visuals was made by japanese developers.
MC’s age, also left somewhat vague for self-insert purposes. But that’s kinda bullshit, you can’t tell me he’s older than 30.
But he went to college, and is old enough to consider Veronica just a kid. So my bet is around 25.
Arc has a lot of things to juggle, some take more priority than others.
Tho, I do wonder if Lomeg was an act 2 thing or if he’ll come back in act 3.
my man is overthinking about a game thats intended to make the players jizz.. geez
The porn is just the bait, mah bruddah.
Chris kinda covered it all, but just so there's an "official" response... :)
Location is left deliberately vague:
1. Uniform is for college, not school, which is privately run and therefore up to the owner of the college, so could be anywhere.

He's definitely into the idea of a WarBot, yes. As is Lyx, worryingly...
How many acts are currently in the game? I am at the start of act two and I am wondering how many acts are there still for me
It’s 3 acts. Also the prologue and epilogue.
Bear in mind, game is work in progress and Act 3 is very early in development.
But Act 2 is considerably long compared to Act 1.

Yeah, that error is not exactly something Arc can fix.
As the thing says:
It’s because of the nature of the game, it being a work in progress.
Sometimes saves may break if Arc changes the script (rewrites, typos, etc)
That why ideally you should try saving in “safe spots” and avoid saving in the middle of dialogue.
An example of a safe spot would be the MC’s bedroom.
Which is why the autosave only saves every time you go to sleep.
(Check the A page in the save menu, you might have one there.)
Cool I can try that
thank you for looking into this for me
Why is it that the Wiki has been abandoned for what seems like awhile? I... don't know enough about the game, or how to edit Fandom good.
There were a few members that were the main writers.
They’re still around, but there’s a lot of stuff to write.
And waiting just makes matters worse.
Help is appreciated tho.
I’ve been trying to write some articles every now and then, but I run out of steam very quickly.
I am on an Android and just a few seconds after pressing play it just crashes and it's just confusing
same problem :(
Are you getting an error message or just a straight-up "game turns off and throws me back to homescreen"? Does it always happen at the same point? If you quickly tap through can you get further?
Try completely powering down your phone and turning it back on again - it's a meme at this point but it really does solve 90% of the weird error reports that come in.
how do i recruit the area bosses?
Just conquer the district, that's it :) If you win by reducing HP or WP to zero, select the "Throw her in the dungeon" option and then you can visit her to "convince" her to join. Alternatively, if you win using Shatter you can just immediately select the "Recruit" option after the final battle.
alright thank you
Im on android and i want to transfer my save from 18.0 to the current am i able to do that
As long as you don’t uninstall, your saves should stay.
There’s a way to backup your saves, but like I said, if you don’t uninstall it’ll be fine.
Just download the APK of the new version and install it as an update.
Actually thank you so much for that I didn't know that was possible that's gonna other games easier to deal with
You find clues in certain places, but the order is: “Save” the Witch: North West South | Find the Hat: South South South > Drift | Talk to Witch: West West West
Someone gave you the directions already, but yeah.
The system doesn’t work like a map, it’s just a combination of directions in a specific order like a password.
And it’s set up so if you go to a “null” direction, the game will make you stumble upon a location you haven’t seen before.
Locations you have seen you can check on the Remember option. Also, the locations in the remember thing are kept through saves.
But yeah, the Goblin Witch, you find her then she tells you to go all the way south (S->S->S) after that when you find her hat you’re supposed to check it in your inventory to know where to find her next.
Burning building is in the town, it even gives you hints if you check other places.
But yeah, you’re not the first one to dislike the explore system.
I can't reach the good education level because it always shifts from decent to pretty good, how do I increase my authority from this point on?
Well, by default the education raises one point per class, and drops five during the weekend.
You should get the upgrades.
So without upgrades you do 1 point per class, dropping 5 on the weekend. With the upgrades it’s 4 per class and drops 3 on the weekend.
Also the points and ranks thing.
small bug, when my support character does her lust attack, it makes the counter effect happen and i take damage despite the fact i blocked it
I'll look into it - thanks :)
another one related to the same issue, if your companion finishes off an enemy (only tested with lust but might work with phys) it wont actually register the killing until you do some damage of your own
Both bugs have been fixed for the next version :)
hey so quick question, i've got an old .17.7 save file. I recently got a new computer and am trying to transfer my saves over to a new computer, saves show up fine on my old PC but when i update and transfer to my new pc nothing..
a bit stumped is there save data outside of the Itch.io folder like in docs i need to transfer as well?
*edit, when transfering on my external the saves show up on my old machine, but on my new machine they're blank even when launching from the drive
There are two save locations if you're using Windows, Linux or Mac. The second is supposed to be a backup system, but sometimes the game uses it as a primary location for some reason.
Since you said "PC" I'm going to assume you're on Windows, in which case the backup saves location is located at:
PC > Local Disk (usually C:) > Users > USERNAME > AppData > Roaming > RenPy > CorruptedKingdoms-1547378918
If you put your saves (plus "persistent" file!) in there, as well as in your game/save folder it should read your saves properly :)
hey just saw the reply, should be able to give it a go after my shift
cheers and keep up the great work!
Does leveling up change any of the MC stats for WR battles?
No, leveling up just raises your HP and WP.
From what I’ve read, the other stats will raise (or maybe lower) during story events.
HOLD UP, this isn't a Friday?? I was so used to seeing the updates on a Friday, not that I'm complaining, I love the updates you make. Though I'll have to play it tomorrow, I've caught a flu, and it sucks. I couldn't even get sleep, but if I feel better at night, I'll play it as soon as possible!
Updates have never been on Friday…
A long time ago the public updates went on Wednesdays, but then got shifted one day to Thursdays.
Well, there’s also the thing of timezones, but Arc posts the updates around 12pm on GMT+7… give or take a few hours, that’s the average.
For my timezone it’s usually at midnight, so technically Thursday, but mentally it’s still Wednesday night.
Then again, itch.io used to send me the mail for the update the following day. Despite me having downloaded it.
I usually get the updates at 12 AM on Fridays due to my timezone, so I always log in Fridays to get the updates, and I also get the notification a bit later, but for me it has been Friday, or Thursday nights, around 11 PM.
Timezones strike again.
I realized my timezone was GMT -4, so it would explain why it's mostly late when I get the updates.
Hey question here, the surprise that lily says she have, will you be able to see it sometime near the future or will it only be patreon?
No paywalled content over these parts, friend.
Supporters just get the game 3 days earlier, that’s it.
Sometimes it’s better to wait until public, bugs might be ironed out.
But that content with Lily might have to wait.
I’m hoping that we don’t have to take over the bar district before we continue… that might take a while.
Thank you for keeping all the content free, it's frustrating having content blocked by paywall but i understand why creators do it. Anyways thank you :)
Not the developer, that would be TheArcadean.
I’m the tech support guy.
But Arc dislikes paywalls too. I mean, the early access is $1, despite Patreon telling him to raise the prices he refuses to.
only $1? That's pretty crazy, bumping it to atleast $3 would still be a bargain for patreons and he'd be earning way more lol
Hey I have a question about the daycare. Are child genders locked per partner, or is there a chance I can get a girl with Veronica
Also I would like to add that I don't know how to get the fourth heart with Jessica, It keeps saying look into the organisation as the hint aswell.
You need to progress main story (ORG lead) to progress with Jessica’s last heart.
Also Jessica is a requirement to progress that bit of the main story.
If you don’t have the leads, you missed a step on the start sequence of act 2.
The gender, appearance and personality of the kids is locked.
Having more kids with the same woman will just produce the same kid but with a different name.
Limitations of the system, too much effort for something that a number of people avoid.
IMO, it’s better than them staying as useless rolls of sheets with a face poking out.
"This is an invisible step. If you see this message please report it !"
Okay so i'll report it... If you click on the heart to see your affinity and click the right and left arrow in the right up corner you can acces girl you didn't unlock yet.
Already in the list of bugs to fix.
You fix one, two more appear…
That’s a programmer’s life.
I know it won’t happen and understand why it won’t happen but still it would be so hot to see some of these girls get an airtight session with a bunch of guys
Different audiences m8…
It’s like if I went to a gay furry game and asked them to add regular human women that are fuckable.
Some days I tried to suggest giving the MC something like a cloning power for orgies and stuff.
But it would be difficult to justify in lore. And it could also get some pushback, despite them literally being your clones.
Does this game have Chinese
Nope, only english.
Official translations will be made once the story is fully written. Maybe in one or two years.
I think I may have encountered a softlock on Android. Either that or the game is supposed to end there for now?
I'm at the murder mystery part of the game. I have all the evidence that you can get but when I present the evidence to the characters all but one of them says that I have nothing that proves they're lying. The only evidence that works for me is the diary entry.
Is this supposed to happen or is there something I'm missing? I'm really liking the game so far and I hope there's more after this point but I am more than willing to wait if there isn't.
No softlock, you just didn’t read properly or didn’t try to bruteforce it hard enough.
The diary is for Dhena.
Emmet said that he sprayed the tree with pesticide recently.
Erica said she was reading under the tree.
Use Emmet’s evidence against her.
Then she’ll give you evidence you can use against someone else.
And once again, that someone will give you evidence for yet another person.
No softlock.
will pixie eventually tell us her real name? And also will shatter and awaken be merged back together?
Probably yes. Robin - that is, the MC - will at some point learn Pixie’s true name.
Problem is that a fey’s true name is too much power to just dangle in front of the player. You basically get control over their entire being.
As for the powers merging… no idea. Maybe yes? But the MC has a lot to learn about himself before he even begins to try to fix his powers.
As Chris mentioned, a Fey's true name is Important-with-a-capital-I. It gives you complete and utter control over them, up to and including the ability to simply blink them out of reality. You don't know the true name of any of the Fey.
So will MC ever learn it? Probably. But it won't happen in CK1, and likely not until CK3. Will the player ever learn it? Probably not. We'll see.
As for Shatter/Awaken, well that would be a plot spoiler... and no spoilers, sorry! ;)
do the weekly updates add new content or just bug fix
Typically both. Since the dev just did a rather major content drop, it caused a lot of bugs with the existing code, so he still hammering out all the issues while still dropping content.
Weekly updates are normal around here. Only exception was when Arc was making the battle system.
Oh yeah, also just one dev. Content might be relatively small.
If you’re not impatient, it’s recommended to download every 5 updates.
Why I didn't get new skill after defeating boss ?
Because you don’t get it by defeating them.
You get a new skill if you recruit the girl, then go to battle with her as main, MC as second.
Use the skill for a bit until MC learns it.
Others skills will probably be obtained with story progression.
hi i need help i dont know how to get more information about the organization so i can get the third heart with aunt jessica
Sounds like you haven't unlocked the Org leads. Go to the Manor garden, read the note from Gramps, and then follow that questline until you open up the Org lead :)
hello, why when downloading the update on Android it appears as zip and not apk?:/
Itch sometimes does that, for no good reason.
You can either use a file manager to extract the zip and get the apk inside.
Or go to Patreon/Subscribestar and use the links from the public posts (same version posted in here).
Ohhh ok thanks:)
I was a bit confused as well, thanks for the info o/
Well, I wonder if there's still some unlockable places.
The ones with ??? were unlockable but you didn’t know yet.
Those dark ones with no text are just placeholders. There is no property there.
Hi Arcadean, do you have a plan to make RPA Android Version of this game in the future?
Corrupted Kingdom (Currently the APK size is 1.5gb) and it takes too much time to install it and when the future updates comes and the increase of Size of the APK(2gb) android users cant install it anymore.
some of the NSFW Game Dev already done that too lower the size of APK and split the APK and RPA files such as
Stawer - Lucky Paradox
Jikei- Mythic Manor
Runey - Harem Hotel (someone from his discord server made it)
Love ur Game
Yeah, the game getting chonk is one of Arc’s concerns.
I mean, the published date in this page is misleading. The game has been in development since June 2019.
And he has been taking some care in keeping filesizes low, considering he has to publish updates weekly and due to his lifestyle, having good internet is not always guaranteed.
Arc is trying to keep the final game under 2GB. Other games in this ecosystem get quite large very quickly.
The RPAs are an option, but at the same time it’s not the idea to make the installation process too much of a hassle for the end user. Ideally, one could just tell them to download the PC version and use JoiPlay, but apparently that was also unreliable.
Up to Arc, I’m just answering because he sometimes takes a while to answer and I can cover some things on the question.
What Chris said :)
Splitting the APK into RPA files wouldn't decrease the installation time - it would in fact increase it. Unless you're hoping I separate out the RPAs into individual Acts, in which case I can't do that either as there's too many variables that rely on content from other Acts.
Also, as Chris says, it would be a lot harder for the casual user to install (which is most users - I already get two or three messages a week from people confused about how to install the APK) and I try to keep things as simple as possible for everyone.
I'm working hard to keep the filesize under 2GB, and it's looking promising. The game has been in development for nearly four years and has between one and two more years to go until it's complete, and it's still at 1.3GB, so... fingers crossed!
So, in short: no RPA splits are planned, although it's on the table if it becomes a necessity :)
When will the cute mouse girl get pregnancy
Not really soon, there’s a war going on.
It will happen, that I can guarantee.
But I don’t think even Arc knows exactly when.
Perhaps it ends up happening on the epilogue.
Not RNG, just a set of requirements that - in retrospect - feel a bit arbitrary and sometimes might leave you in the dark.
Arc can’t exactly afford to keep going back and polishing stuff, new content takes priority and all that jazz…
Concerning Jessica. I’ll assume you are on Act 1. You need to have gone to the college once so the event with Jessica triggers.
If you don’t have the college, you have to check Emma’s room - I think at night - so it advances.
Like I said, not RNG, just convoluted requirements.
Pixie is supposed to tell players this when they ask her what to do next, but apparently she's not saying the "Emma's room at night" part. I need to dig around in the code and find out why.
Hey arc this is like my 3rd time saying this lol but i really love this game and youre one of the best dev out there my top 1. Keep up the great work arc!!
Aww, thank you! That honestly means a lot to hear, no matter how many times it's repeated :) Always takes me by surprise too, even after three years of working on CK.
A question to creator will there be multiple endings
Yes, there will be multiple endings, the consequences of which will be explored in the Epilogue which will happen after Act Three :)
why am I always late to the updates, man. I was already asleep when the update was released, but, hey, I'm here now! And turns out I didn't have a flu, it was just withdraw effects of my happy meds.
Better late than never! And I hope you're feeling better :)
I'm feeling much better! What about you? Are you still feeling sick? If so, you should just take a break. You do so much for the game, and it kind of worries me. You deserve to have enough sleep, so, if you ever start feeling bad, please, remember you are also a human being. I already cleared the content of the new update! Also, I love the creepy nun's hair??? I've always wanted to have hair that pretty, I guess mine is similar. But like, what kind of shampoo does she use?? Love your work, really.
I'm glad to hear it! :) And thanks - my cough is still hanging around, but it's manageable and getting better every day. No break for me until next month, and that's only a "maybe".
As for the nun's hair, you too can have such silken locks! All you need to do is sign this contract in your blood, right here on the dotted line... and here... and on this line that looks like a writhing tentacle...
Well, if you do take a break, I hope it goes well!
And I don't know if selling my soul for silky smooth hair might be the best idea. Not yet, maybe when I turn 18 I'll reconsider it! I really love every character in the game, and I did miss my weekly battle! But, you should always take rests, and it's great you are fixing the bugs! The naked Jessica one gave me mixed feelings, it was funny but sometimes it scared me.
How do i unlock the last two of Chloe's outfit, help
An image helps, since no one really remembers the order of the outfits.
But if I’m guessing correctly.
One of them is her swimsuit, take her to the beach.
The other, you have to had met Alice and have Jessica on 3 hearts at least.
Then check Chloe’s room on a weekend, an event should happen which unlocks the outfit
Thank you for the help, i got it now
Ludum diu secutus sum, unum quod semper me beatum facit quod ludus currit in quamlibet cellam telephonicam ( sorry i wrote in latin so maybe no one understands )
Thank you for playing so long - though it's Ren'py's developer PyTom that should be thanked for making sure the engine runs on so many devices.
As for the latin, just remember that the point of communication is to be understood. Anyone who deliberately obfuscates their meaning in order to appear intelligent is merely barba tenus sapientes.
Curious: I know its in the war-time part of development but will we ever be able to get Gwen and Chloe pregnant at any point in a future update?
I never mentioned anything before as I thought everyone in the relationship tab was going to get the same treatment. I also feel like Gwens condition would be more dramatic and impactful if she had a child before everything broke out or was pregnant when she became the way she is now.
Yes, not really soon, because war and stuff. But it will happen.
There were some lore reasons and mechanical reasons why Gwen and Chloe couldn’t get preggernet on act 2.
Lore reason, they got hit with an ubercharged version of Awaken/Shatter, getting them pregnant would make them really unstable. They could go from having a miscarriage to exploding.
Mechanical reason, they have a lot of interactions and are really involved in the main story, which would make locking out interactions a pain in the nuts.
Add to that, the fact that while they might be technically at level 5, they haven’t had the amount of development a main girl at level 5 should have. That development will happen during act 3. Similar boat to Chastity and Morgana.
oh cool, thanks for clearing that up, i actually didnt know that about chloe and gwen
