Come on, I hope you can get through this difficult time. I have been playing your game for 4 years and I really like it because it is free and of high quality. Due to personal financial reasons, I am sorry that I cannot provide support or rewards for you, so I can only express my support for you
Don't worry about the support - it's important for you to take care of yourself first and foremost! Just spread the word about SubscribeStarif you can, and if not then still, thank you for the kind words!
Btw, the game will still be here and updated with content, but if you want to support Arc then you can subscribe to SubscribeStar or wait for Arc to find another solution for German players.
As Yasuken mentioned, I will still be uploading the public versions here on Itch as usual, and I will work out an alternate way for people in Germany and similarly restricted countries to buy the game. I'm not going to abandon you!
To anyone looking to find out what happened: join the Discord link above, or check out the SubscribeStar... If you were already subbed on Patreon, you'll get a better idea of what's going on, and how to continue your support of this wonderful story! Arc isn't giving up, and neither are we! If you love this game, help us make this happen! there are Vanguard roles open (for those of you who know what that means; if you don't, come find out!)
Thank you so much! The more the word spreads and the more people sign on to SubscribeStar, the greater the chance that I won't have to move development to Steam! :)
I'm conflicted. This game has it all both story and gameplay but with Patreon doing its usual bs it's scary. I feel for you dev and I hope stuff stabilizes.
A lot of people have migrated over to SubscribeStar and if enough people pledge there then I can go back to business as usual (though with a lot more creative freedom!) so fingers crossed!
The question of if you can - or even should (remember, she was an unpleasant person and a callous sister before) - is one that will be thoroughly explored in Act Three :)
Patreon trying to kill CK really sucks. I really wish I had money to give, but unfortunately, I'm broke. Good luck trying to get the game on Steam, Arc.
Patreon flagged it for having minors in an 18+ game despite them not being part of any of the 18+ stuff. It's going to be coming to Steam, but they said they'll have to remake the graphical assets because of Steam's policies.
Help. How do i keep my save files after i delete the game? Im on android 13. I want to play it again after it gets updated further but i dont want to start over T_T
Hey te acompanho desde as primeiras versão do jogo eu sou do Brasil muitos daqui queriam saber se você vai trazer linguagem em português no futuro? Amamos seu trabalho você tem potencial
This game and this community are kink-positive: people like what they like and it's all beautiful to someone. Please avoid using words like "disgusting" when talking about kinks.
That being said, futa/femboy content is always put up as an option on the polls but it never does well so at this point it's very likely it'll never be added to CK. If it ever received a sudden tsunami of support then it would be added as optional DLC that people could choose to install or not.
Unfortunately I can't give you any of my saves as they're riddled with devcode. But if you head to the CK Discord's #game-help channel, people there will be more than happy to share their save files with you :)
It is, yes, although CK won't have one as it doesn't really make sense in the context of the game's themes or mechanics. Also, I'm just a solo dev and I've been working on this project for over four years now - I don't want to still be working on it four years from now ;)
Another week of silly questions related to the game's context. In the final battle of Act 2, when Robin/MC is about to lose to the Beast, a green light appears as if implying that he is about to receive some buffs before being saved by Gramps. The question is, if he isn't saved, will he get a power-up?
Hey arc,i was replaying the game since the start,and i just realized i never did this encounter "the caretaker",on my main save its is new?,probabily not,anyways how do you progress on it?,it only gives me the option to turn back
It's a really great song :) Just in case you want to look up any of the other tracks used in the game, you can find them in the in-game credits as well as the "CREDITS.txt" file in the game folder!
I'm glad you're enjoying the game enough to play through it multiple times! :)
I haven't figured out a real use for the dungeon yet that wouldn't take me five more years to complete, but I'll keep working at it! In the meantime, punishment for Kana's clan will certainly be an option in future updates!
I don't know why you're getting downvoted, but to answer your question: no, there's no official translations of the game right now.
Because of my bi-weekly update schedule, plus the fact that I keep going back over old content to polish it up, no translator would be able to keep up. I will be hiring official translators to translate the game into multiple languages once it hits beta.
In the meantime, there are numerous fan translations out there and one of them might be for Chinese. I'll be creating fan translation channels in my Discord server this week, too :)
Hello, a great game, cool characters, cool story, cool scenes, etc. I have a question, is act 3 the last? And will the game always be free or will it be paid when it launches? sorry for any mistake english is not my main lenguage
Act Three is the final Act, but there will be an epilogue where you will be able to freely wander the game world and see the consequences of your decisions.
The game will always be 100% free, although I will also be releasing a decompiled version (meaning all assets and code are available) for a small fee under an open-source license so everyone can use them for whatever purpose they wish.
I already had a high opinion of you as a dev just from how communicative you are with people. I follow so many devs and there's a noticeable lack of presence on their titles. Some expect you to follow their presence on Discord, Twitter, etc to get even an ounce of news or answers about things.
I didn't think it could be raised higher than it was but you managed to raise the bar higher. Having the option to purchase a decompiled version to see how things work and was put together is really cool and is just another thing that I feel is criminally underrated!
Honestly, this is my first game and the community has been so amazing, sticking with me through all the growing pains (that are still going on!), supporting me with amazing messages and their hard-earned cash, and I just want to give back as much as I can.
Any success I have had or ever will have is entirely because of players like you, and that's an honour and a privilege I will never take for granted.
Yes, all Main Girls with the exception of Qarinah and Roxy will be getting "true" pregnancies (Qarinah may get a "dream" pregnancy), as well as most/all of the side girls, depending on both time and demand :)
I made it to Act 3, now me and my harem have to find a way to stop Morgana, the Organization, and the Eldrlich before their war turns the world into a wasteland.
hey TheArcadean, I just completed the story to this point and want to ask when another addition to the story will release. btw I really love the game so far great work with that :)
Hey, quick question, I'm trying to download the game and it always stops and says forbidden every time and it's starting to honestly get annoying I've tried over and over for like weeks now
It could be Itch's servers being weird, or it could be your ISP. Try downloading from the official Patreon or Subscribestar pages and see if that works :)
Quick question, do you need to be a member to download in Patreon (first time using it) I'm trying to download the public release version but it always resets the page to the become a member button
Suppression only works on magic so it might come into play when fighting Fey, but it will need special implementation.
Command is tricky, as it has theoretically infinite uses and only works on the weak-willed. So it wouldn't function on Boss Girls and would be something MC could only use against Minions/Goons.
Problem is, it opens up the question of "why doesn't MC just say 'Stop!'"? :P
The current "in-game" reason why he doesn't use it is because the fights are too loud and chaotic - the command must be heard - so I'll keep it that way for now until inspiration strikes, haha.
Hi! love this. I've noticed when I try to have the popsicle scene with Gwen poolside the screen just goes black- could this be an effect of the gallery unlock thing? I figured not because since it's a repeatable scene, it shouldn't be a gallery scene (at least according to my research) and doesn't appear in the gallery.. unless that's just a product of the issue.
This game is something else! first of all, all the characters are gorgeous! I find the story intriguing, and when stuff happens, it goes down hard. Just when you think this is just "another harem-collection game", the story makes flips, making the bold choice of locking out a ton of previously available content (at least temporarily).
Favorite character is definitely Kana though. she deserves all the headpats (as well as lil' Kana).

You da real OG!
Don't worry about the support - it's important for you to take care of yourself first and foremost! Just spread the word about SubscribeStar if you can, and if not then still, thank you for the kind words!
If you release it on steam I will not be able to buy it, cause the german steam store blocks every adult game with sexual content.
Don't worry, he's working on another solution for those in Germany.
Btw, the game will still be here and updated with content, but if you want to support Arc then you can subscribe to SubscribeStar or wait for Arc to find another solution for German players.

Either way, though, CK will continue!
Any cheats?
In the laptop in your bedroom from Act Two onwards :)
Please please PLEASE give us some way to un-shatter Chloe, she doesn't deserve that
The question of if you can - or even should (remember, she was an unpleasant person and a callous sister before) - is one that will be thoroughly explored in Act Three :)
Counterpoint: Alice. I must protect the babie at all costs
how much has the game been updated since i last played can i now conquer trainstation?
No... Not yet.
Patreon trying to kill CK really sucks. I really wish I had money to give, but unfortunately, I'm broke. Good luck trying to get the game on Steam, Arc.
It's okay - thank you for the kind words, and make sure to take care of yourself! :)
What the hell happened here. Why did my father do his gaster impression and get un-personed
What are you on about?
Google shattered across time and space
what happened to your patreon?
Patreon flagged it for having minors in an 18+ game despite them not being part of any of the 18+ stuff. It's going to be coming to Steam, but they said they'll have to remake the graphical assets because of Steam's policies.
or if SubscribeStar has enough subsciber, it'll remain how it is.
I wish I could use the bomb on Morgana 's crystal.
I wanna use it on Morgana
These comments are actual gold, lol.
Same ngl
I need help. The story does not progress after I met the succubus for the first time. I have no idea what to do.
Go to Sailor on the street and spend 50$ to fix your pants, then meet Lily and ask for her help, finally meet Jessica and the story will move forward
I will go try that. Thank you for responding.
hey is anyone having is problem every time i go to Arc Patreon page it saying This page is under review.
yeah, me too
My Patreon page is currently suspended/removed. I've emailed Patreon but I'm not sure when - or if - the page will be reinstated.
More details will be posted to the CK Discord, and possibly I'll be hosting a livestream later on so people can ask questions.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Help. How do i keep my save files after i delete the game? Im on android 13. I want to play it again after it gets updated further but i dont want to start over T_T
I've been able to download the new apks, run them, choose update and old saves work just fine.
how do i find claire again? (v0.20.8 public release)
She'll find you :) Just keep conquering locations.

what are the paperdolls and how/where to get them?? Thanks! :P
that... is just the character's avatar, bro
how can i find the club?
You buy the bar and then you buy the upgrade which is the club
Hay alguna forma de saltarme todo e ir defrente al contenido nuevo? Y si no hay sería buena idea :D
I know this is probably a weird request but... can you give me a save file of act 2? I lost that save and I really wanted to replay the scenes.
Unfortunately I can't give you any of my saves as they're riddled with devcode. But if you head to the CK Discord's #game-help channel, people there will be more than happy to share their save files with you :)
do you know if ren'py is able to do new game +, i think that would be a super cool addition if so
It is, yes, although CK won't have one as it doesn't really make sense in the context of the game's themes or mechanics. Also, I'm just a solo dev and I've been working on this project for over four years now - I don't want to still be working on it four years from now ;)

I guess we'll never know! :)
Hey arc,i was replaying the game since the start,and i just realized i never did this encounter "the caretaker",on my main save its is new?,probabily not,anyways how do you progress on it?,it only gives me the option to turn back
No, it's not new, it's been in since she was introduced :) There's no way to progress it just now, but she'll have a role to play in Act Three!
The Emma song is great. I had too look it up! https://ccmixter.org/files/snowflake/57859
"You feel like a trespasser in a moment that doesn't belong to you". That hits hard. Well put.
It's a really great song :) Just in case you want to look up any of the other tracks used in the game, you can find them in the in-game credits as well as the "CREDITS.txt" file in the game folder!
Can you help me find the new naughty scene with Emma? I tried everything
You just go to her room once you've convinced her to stop being a hermit :)
Lots of fun. Worked to act 3 twice now and doing another. Each time do things a bit different. Fun way to wait for updates.
The Girls are so loveable,
It would be nice to stick some of the bad ones like Kana's clan in the dungeon! It would be nice to use it for something, Just a thought.
The art work of this game including the plots very well done.
I'm glad you're enjoying the game enough to play through it multiple times! :)
I haven't figured out a real use for the dungeon yet that wouldn't take me five more years to complete, but I'll keep working at it! In the meantime, punishment for Kana's clan will certainly be an option in future updates!
May I ask if this game supports Chinese? I really like it
I don't know why you're getting downvoted, but to answer your question: no, there's no official translations of the game right now.

Awww, shucks 😊
Honestly, this is my first game and the community has been so amazing, sticking with me through all the growing pains (that are still going on!), supporting me with amazing messages and their hard-earned cash, and I just want to give back as much as I can.
Any success I have had or ever will have is entirely because of players like you, and that's an honour and a privilege I will never take for granted.
Has gwen been healed yet?
Not yet
Hope there's a way to help both Kana and Gwen.
Just wondering if the game auto updates or if you have to manually download the updates, on android
you have to manually download the new version on itch and
Thanks!
I played this game for hours and I loved it!
Awesome story and great graphic! 10/10
This game definitely needs another game! :-)
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)
I actually have two sequels planned and very roughly drafted out already, so there will definitely be more CK once this game is finished!
Awesome!
I wonder, are you going to add new pregnancy scenes for the other female characters?
Yes, all Main Girls with the exception of Qarinah and Roxy will be getting "true" pregnancies (Qarinah may get a "dream" pregnancy), as well as most/all of the side girls, depending on both time and demand :)
Can't wait for the next update!😁🎮
I made it to Act 3, now me and my harem have to find a way to stop Morgana, the Organization, and the Eldrlich before their war turns the world into a wasteland.
I haven't played this since act 3 was made, is Gwen better yet?
Not yet but you can get in the pool with her on some days to help with her rehabilitation
Hey I haven't played this some time
I want to ask how much have act 3 going
Like the % of act 3
Thank you
hey TheArcadean, I just completed the story to this point and want to ask when another addition to the story will release. btw I really love the game so far great work with that :)
I'm glad you're enjoying it! :) New updates are released every two weeks!
Hey, quick question, I'm trying to download the game and it always stops and says forbidden every time and it's starting to honestly get annoying I've tried over and over for like weeks now
Could you possibly help me, thanks
Are using a VPN? If so, try disabling it and see if the download works.
I don't use VPN actually, so that's not the case for me currently
It could be Itch's servers being weird, or it could be your ISP. Try downloading from the official Patreon or Subscribestar pages and see if that works :)
Quick question, do you need to be a member to download in Patreon (first time using it) I'm trying to download the public release version but it always resets the page to the become a member button
Oh wait nvm, I was a dumbarse and kept on clicking on the download category thing, I didn't view the post directly, thanks for the help!
By the way I believe the download problem is because of itch being weird not my ISP hope they fix it soon
Do you intend to put the "Suppression" and "Command" powers to be used in battle?
Suppression only works on magic so it might come into play when fighting Fey, but it will need special implementation.
Command is tricky, as it has theoretically infinite uses and only works on the weak-willed. So it wouldn't function on Boss Girls and would be something MC could only use against Minions/Goons.
Command could be a debuff that reduces the dice of the minions for a turn or two, just an idea.
Problem is, it opens up the question of "why doesn't MC just say 'Stop!'"? :P
The current "in-game" reason why he doesn't use it is because the fights are too loud and chaotic - the command must be heard - so I'll keep it that way for now until inspiration strikes, haha.
Hi! love this. I've noticed when I try to have the popsicle scene with Gwen poolside the screen just goes black- could this be an effect of the gallery unlock thing? I figured not because since it's a repeatable scene, it shouldn't be a gallery scene (at least according to my research) and doesn't appear in the gallery.. unless that's just a product of the issue.
Either way- this game is amazing! Thank you!
I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)
The poolside scene with Gwen in Act 2 is bugged currently, but it'll be fixed in v0.20.9. Thanks for the report!
arc nós do Brasil amamos seu trabalho com esse jogo , queríamos saber se você vai trazer linguagem em português em CK no futuro?
This game is something else! first of all, all the characters are gorgeous! I find the story intriguing, and when stuff happens, it goes down hard. Just when you think this is just "another harem-collection game", the story makes flips, making the bold choice of locking out a ton of previously available content (at least temporarily).
Favorite character is definitely Kana though. she deserves all the headpats (as well as lil' Kana).
Hey, thanks so much for the kind words! Solo devs live and die on positive reinforcement, so it really does mean a lot :)
Kana definitely deserves very many headpats. Especially in Act Three...
