Im just glad Patreon wasnt able to kill CK. An empty void was bound to form had the little ones had to go. Especially the fairy kid(she is too adorable)
"I sense a great longing, and a desire to fill the void. Your soul desires....Corrupted Kingdoms!" and thanks to SubscribeStar, we can keep playing it!
The SubscribeStar Shift has been more successful than I could have possibly hoped for, thanks to the amazing support of so many truly wonderful players!
We're still not quite there yet, but the number is climbing daily, and I'm so grateful to everyone for helping out! <3
I need some help. Just started and i cant find how to progress. Pixie only says to take walk but i see no location or option to do so. On Android if that helps.
Looking forward to the next update. I have seen several others and really like your artwork. Animie is just plain captivating. I like how the kids are"protected" in the daycare. Totally away from the mayham and "other" items in the story.
I Enjoy taking Emma and , MistyAnne , to the concert, or Lily and Sissysue to the park. ( My kid names)
Your imagination and ability to create this game is to be praisd. So many are just sex with little interest. I played twice to act 3 now taking notice that there is a lot to do which takes a lot of character and game development.
Thank you for the kind words! It really does mean a lot to know that people play and enjoy the game :)
I hope you enjoy the next update too, though I'm not sure when the one after that will be... it depends entirely on whether or not everyone can hit the SubscribeStar goal by the end of the month. Fingers crossed!
Could you maybe start monetizing on itch? Like have a payed early access? I've seen quite a few devs so far do something similar to get around guidelines and such on other platforms. Of course i dont know what the guidelines on itch are but I'd assume it's fine since they haven't kicked the thousands of adult game creaters off the platform yet with some being arguably much worse than what's involved with your game. I also dont know if itch takes a percentage of income or how much in that case either.
I could, but Itch isn't designed for that so it takes a lot of manual fiddling for me to emulate it. Currently I'm hoping that enough people migrate over to SubscribeStar (which is Patreon but better in every way) that I can finish CK as I started it... fingers crossed! :)
all good man. You do you. I'd love to see this game cross the finish line as it was intended instead of eating shit at the halfway point and having to start from scratch.
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.

Im just glad Patreon wasnt able to kill CK. An empty void was bound to form had the little ones had to go. Especially the fairy kid(she is too adorable)
Patreon will take your children over my cold, dead body! CK will continue, especially with so many amazing people making the SubscribeStar Shift!
That's fantastic! You scratched our back by giving us CK in the first place, and now we can scratch yours by allowing you to finish it, your way.
I have an army of toddlers to kick ass with
I'm sure that's not breaking any international laws or anything :P
Nice argument. Small problem: give the magical child a firearm.
"I sense a great longing, and a desire to fill the void. Your soul desires....Corrupted Kingdoms!" and thanks to SubscribeStar, we can keep playing it!

Hey, are there any futanari in game?
No, but future DLC, maybe yes?
Ich kann mehr nicht geben, aber ich werde Ihnen $1 pro Monat geben. God speed.
Vielen Dank! <3
I need some help. Just started and i cant find how to progress. Pixie only says to take walk but i see no location or option to do so. On Android if that helps.
Also good luck w ur migration from Patreon
Thank you! :)
Hmm... have you tried talking to Emma in her room at night? That's usually where people get stuck in the prologue.
that seems to have been what i was overlooking. Thanks
Make sure you've visited the bar also, if you haven't already

My head explodes when I think of all the code!
Yes I make sure I look after Gwen on Wednesdays!

You know the best part about falling down? Getting back up again.
Migrated just now
Thank you so much! <3

You da real OG!

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.
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
Mais um Mito BR aqui comigo ai sim
é nois irmão hehehe

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 ;)

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.

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!
