I spent the last week playing through this, and I think I have done everything there currently is.
I downloaded this game on a recommendation as a Harem Game. I expected 20 minutes of acceptable at best fun, followed by an Uninstall and forget.
Instead, not only did I get some really good 'fun' scenes, I also got a captivating story, some of the best gameplay I've ever seen in a VN, and some great emotional moments that I really didn't expect at all.
The amount of variety this game has is astounding, and it's not even finished. I absolutely can't wait to see more.
Also, If anything bad ever happens to Roxy again, I'll find you, and you'll regret it ;)
For 99% of the animations, I used Koikatsu, along with the excellent mods that the community has provided :)
The other 1% (like Asteria exercising, the barbell lifting and the arm-wrestling) I made myself, which you can tell by the drastically lower quality :P
I would find it cool if you can make veronica to stop being such a bitch (maybe your slave) and maybe get her to life in the mansion! Overall more school content :)
College content, aside from uncovering the mystery of the Quiet Girl and the Sword Girl, is pretty much done, I'm afraid! It already has way more content than the other properties you can buy, and I don't want to turn CK into a school game ;)
The College will come into play in Act Three (provided you own it, and have achieved certain things) but not as an educational institute... DUN DUN DUUUUN!
Next, you can exit the Nexus through Morgana's place if you still haven't got a key of your own, which judging by your limited vocabulary, I'm guessing you couldn't get that far even if you tried
Act Three, then Epilogue, which will have three main endings each with three sub-endings, plus a "canon" ending for the game (as well as individual wrap-ups for each of the characters based on your actions throughout the game, and especially in Act Three)
I'm 100% sure, but I'm fairly certain that's just the Farm Upgrade. You can get it the same way as any other upgrade - from the Properties menu in Jessica's office :)
In the new update Arc made it so the education levels don't drop after you get to auth 5.
I really doubt we're going to have to keep raising authority and stuff in the future content. But if you didn't do the authority on act 2 then the content might not be available in act 3...
No more Authority raising needed, and as Cursed said you can "lock" your Education level once you hit maximum Authority (so I would advise making sure your Education level is nice and high, then locking and forgetting about it) :)
I had this game suggested to me by some random on Reddit, damn do I owe the guy a thank you. Easily one of the best games of the genre I've played, and learning that the project is not only still ongoing, but ACTIVELLY ongoing (looking at you ongoing games stuck for the past 9 years) fills me hope that I'll get to see the complete version some day (and fill me with something else that I'd best save for during gameplay).
I'm not a fan of Visual Novels but the story you have going on here kept me glued to the game long after finishing my business. This game is barely on it's 0.2 version and already has a deeper story than some full games around on the market, and not just the H ones.
Couple questions i'd love to get answers for though:
Does Yandere Mode affects anything? Played with it a bit but didn't notice any change appart from a single line of dialogue (supposedly), I just leave it off since yanderes are not my tea but I wondered if it actually did anything
Can we get more scenes with Claire? Pretty please? I'll buy you ice cream.
Does it help the lore if we keep exploring endlessly where we can (or places like the Bunker) or is the Explore action just to find new scenes for the gallery after we find the story-relevant stuff?
Really have high hopes for this game, and I can't wait for the next story arc to drop
It might take some time to get to the complete version. Things move slow, just one dev with weekly updates.
This has been going for 3 years already, Arc only posted the game here on the second aniversary.
The aim for final release seems to be on the 5th year or earlier... time will tell...
What 0.2? We're on 0.15 TBH the version numbers don't mean crap. 0.15.8 just means that the game has been updated 148 times since initial release 0.1.0 Yeah... One hundred and forty eight...
Yandere mode basically makes Gwen go crazy if you don't have sex with her at least once or twice a week. Your actions have consequences, even if you didn't know what you were doing. But don't worry, she won't hurt you or anyone the protagonist cares about. Not now, almost certainly not ever. She really can't be without you...
Claire will get content eventually, as with other girls, we need story progression. Something to note is that while Claire is not and will almost certainly never be a main girl, she will get more content than the average side girl. hmmmmm... freckles...
Most side events don't have an effect on main story yet... They might in the future... Perhaps not main story but more side stuff in the next act... But don't feel pressured to experience everything or rush to things. Take your time, smell the flowers.
Arc may have more things to say, I am not the dev I'm just unofficial tech support.
Useful info nonetheless, thank you very much, I did play around with yandere mode but I guess I never reached its conditions. Also about the consequences, do they affect stuff more than a gallery unlock? Been trying to figure this one out but couldn't get anything different from, say, receiving head or not from the puppet nun or stuff like that (I suppose you could say Molly or the 3 fey workers would be a major change but it still boils down to gallery unlocks).
Holy shit 148 times?! That's... a lot of updates
Wish we could track better how many secrets we still have to find tho, or at least find clues for them instead of just punching in random directions and hoping for the best. I found so far the caretaker and the volley team in the Outskirts. I found the ice cream girls, the car wash and the prostitute, as well as the apartment in town, and I found the goblin, the lamia, the fish and the summoner on the mountains, apart from story-related explorations, these were the ones I got so far. I wonder if there are more scenes for me to find, I really wanna get as many as I can before I hit the "unlock gallery" button for those that I really can't get anymore.
Speaking of secrets, do we have any more secret keys apart from the ones Chastity gives you? I'm really trying to find everything I can here, and the story is at the endpoint (for now) so nothing I can do except this (and fuck) to pass the time
Cursed covered everything relating to your original questions, so I'll pick up the baton for your follow-ups ;)
1. Yandere mode has three "stages" (minor, moderate and major) based on how long it's been since you last did naghty things with her and unlocks (right now) two extra scenes - one at "minor" and one at "major" and Gwen will start texting you at "moderate" and the texts will get more intense at "major". Also, you might notice something a little unsettling outside your bedroom window at night... more is planned but that's it for the moment.
2. Certain consequences will have stronger effects on the game world (such as certain characters being killed) but most are quite minor and only affect the "flavour" of your interactions. I'd love to have more branching consequences, but as a solo dev on a weekly schedule it's just not feasible, sadly :/ Act Three will be more streamlined, though, so expect more consequences to manifest then!
3. I've deliberately kept the secrets a little obscure in order to promote community interaction. Plus, there's nothing like that little thrill of excitement when you stumble on something unexpected! There's lists here and there around the internet, though, and you can check out the Discord server if you want to share your discoveries with others (and learn of theirs)!
4. There are three extra secret Keys for the Nexus, so far. One is useful and the other two are kinda jokes (one of which was requested by the Discord community). I won't tell you them outright (although again, Discord will if you're stuck) but here's some hints:
A) Think about a certain someone who laughs a lot
B) Think about a certain overworked game developer
C) I honestly can't think of a hint for this one... it's just "Padoru" :P
hahahaha that last one tho. "Hashire sori yo..." would be a nice hint, write it down for next time lol.
Thanks for taking your time to answer this barrage of questions Arc, I know the struggles of game development and can only imagine doing this full time, let alone completely solo (I had a small team but at least it was something).
Consequences being minor are not at all a bad thing, gives the game a more casual approach (just like not having a time limited window for doing events) that I really appreciate, especially on a game of this nature, sure I like my share of time constraints like Persona or something, but when I'm just running around doing whatever the fuck I'm in the mood for, that's great too.
I'll run around the areas some more then before I head over to the spoiler section, would you mind at least telling me where in the exploring zones i'm missing stuff (if I am at all)? I'll take it from there and try to find everything
Honestly, it would be interesting for the choices to have more of an effect but not only it would slow down development quite a bit. It would be a massive headache to keep track of all those branching paths. I've seen many devs try and fail at that.
Some of the explore areas need a power for you to progress, but some only have the content you see (which might be none at all)
So train with the goblin witch and see what powers could be useful in what situations.
Also the explore thing, if you go in a blank direction it will send you to some place you haven't seen before. If you have seen all places then it will do nothing (NOTE: The game considers you seeing something across all saves, hit the REMEMBER button to see the ones you've been to).
It looks like the 15.7 has a game breaking bug. I beat it before, but now Jessica won't appear for her first appearance (at the apartments where you begin).
Other than that, this is an awesome game! I just made the mistake of thinking it was done and abandoned, so I uninstalled it. Less than a week later I learned it is still going and is awesome!
No bug, as that part of the code hasn't been touched in three years ;)
You're missing an intermediate step: Either you haven't tried to speak to Emma in her room or you aren't properly leaving your flat - you have to actually travel to a new location then back to the flat. Exiting to map and clicking flat won't work.
I'm glad you're enjoying the game, regardless! And nope, not done, not abandoned. Weekly updates for the last three years (aside from one-week breaks every two months) and I intend to keep that going until the game is complete! :)
hello, for when it will come out to get Gwen pregnant, it would be curious how she would take it knowing that it is a little special if you ignore her, great game, I am following it since 0.12 and I love it, it is one of the best that I have played, great game
Hey so I tried finding the witch by exploring and after I found her hat by going south 3 times I wasn't able to find her anymore. I went north west and then south but it sent me back. Anything I missed perhaps? I've talked with Chloe.
Hi, is there a way to update my current game w/o having to install a full ZIP again and taking up more disk space each time? Unless that's not how it works, I'm not very familiar with how disk space is taken up and whatnot. Also, would installing new versions create any problems with save files from previous versions?
Well, yes if you're using the itch.io launcher you can download the game with it and afterwards when you update the game it will download only the changes. Very neat thing.
Saves are always compatible, very rarely they're not but to ensure your saves will keep working try saving in a "safe location" like the protagonist's bedroom.
Also you can delete the old versions of the game no problem, the saves are kept on a separate location in %appdata%\RenPy\CorruptedKingdoms-1547378918
Thank you for letting me know. I've just installed the launcher, is there any way to carry over the games I currently have downloaded? I've tried dragging in existing folders but they don't seem to work
I would try first downloading the version of the game that your saves were under in the launcher. Then go to the save games folder in the version that has your saves, select to copy the game save files, open the save game folder for the one downloaded through the launcher, and pasting them into the folder. Then open the game through the launcher, open the last save you had. If it works then create a new save and exit the game. Then download the newest version of the game, open the game, open the save game and then create a new save game under the updated version.
I can't put the game up on Steam because whilst Illusion has stated it's happy for indie devs to use its assets in their games, they don't yet have a formal licensing deal set up - and Steam requires that all assets be licensed.
Hello, there's been a problem I've been experiencing on my Lenovo Android 11. Whenever I play the game, it'll crash right after starting a new game. it happens all the time, even if I change the SDK a bit. Nothing changes.
I've even enabled permission of the app to manage all files, no difference.
Im wondering if you could fix this problem, thanks.
Unfortunately this is an issue with Ren'py and Android not getting along well - usually because of issues with graphics rendering. At a guess I'd say you're using a relatively older phone?
There's actually a potential fix in the latest version of Ren'py which I'll be upgrading to for next week's release (0.15.9) so if nothing else is working, hopefully that will!
Is there a way to get the crystal that prohibits the education off your desk when you teach, or are you stuck with it on your desk, or is it something you need to unlock something.
This and The Headmaster are two of the best plot driven adult games i have seen on this site. this game is just brilliant and i cant wait for version 0.15.8 to come out.
because i fairly recently started playing the game and I'm nearing the end of what you can do in phaze 2 so im exited to anything that expands phase 2.
44 hours in the game and i just reached the end of the content, just before the « big event ». The game is really good and i really like how pregnancy and children are. It's fun because after reaching the end of the content, i spend much time with all differents event across the map and it looked like i spent time with my families before the fight.
There are some things I need to asked just to be sure I didn't miss anything.
Lady of the Lake : Is it possible to help her in the current build ? I possess the Marina but I didn't found anything.
Is there any «hidden» quests in Demesnes ? Therer are some things that could lead to more but ... nothing (Luna's people, Host servers in Roxy's, etc)
Is there anything to do with the Counsil Caretaker ?
Anyway, good job for the work and good luck for the next ! I'll follow you with attention ! o/
The answer to pretty much all of those is "Not in the game yet"
Arc seems to like leaving things open, but I guess having big bold letters saying "NO MORE CONTENT IN THIS VERSION" everywhere you go would be a bit offputting, unless it's main story stuff or something.
I'm glad you're enjoying the game, despite the cliffhangers, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future of CK (and all subsequent games)!
Clipping (or floating) is unfortunately an unavoidable issue when it comes to animating 3D models. There are AAA games on the market that haven't managed to do away with it entirely, so as a solo dev I just do the best I can ;)
I've been meaning to ask but what does the gwen yandere mode do? I encountered that in some cases whenever I leave, she stops me and weirdly sniffs at me like some kind of a stalker. After that nothing weird I encountered related to her ever happens. Am I doing wrong or there is some specific thing that I need to do first?
To be quite honest this game is pretty good and pretty captivating to watch sometimes. I also like how the dev is a goddamn chad for giving us a great game that is essentially free. Just some of my thoughts for the game lol.
She goes through "Yandere mode" changes, getting increasingly more crazily-obsessed with you the longer you ignore her for. Starts with sniffing, moves on to text messages and then... well, I won't spoil the surprise ;)
Sorry for replying late but thanks for all your hardwork man I appreciate it. Hope that not only you create hot content for us that appreciates your work but also create captivating content that is not neccessarily pornographic.
I've been playing for a few days now (I took a long break l, maybe 3 months or more)
And I noticed that my game is running extremely slow, like text and animations taking a long time, especially when rewinding and saving(takes up to 10 seconds).
I have a powerfull phone(I think)
8gb's of ram
And a snapdragon 732g
I also tried pc version on joyplay but it's slow on there too.
Plenty of storage left too.
So I don't really know where the problem is coming from.
I haven't had this the first few times I played.
Thanks for reading, I'm loving the game more with every second ❤️♥️
Hmm, that's strange... is it only happening for CK, or do you have the same problem with other Ren'py games?
Unfortunately, Android and Ren'py sometimes don't play well together. Some people have had luck adjusting their battery settings, some people report success after powering down their phone and booting it back up. Perhaps one of those solutions will work for you?
Sorry I can't be more help! It's an issue with Ren'py and Android's interaction and I can't do anything about either of those kits :(
Hey guys, i've been stucked on jessica's storyline, problably skipped what to do and dont understand the hint, It says "i should keep investiganting, and learn more about the organization", sry for the inconvinience and for the broken english XD
Follow the "Organisation" lead (the envelope icon in the top-right of your screen shows all your leads). If you don't have an Organisation lead then you haven't yet triggered the Gramps questline, which you need to do by going to the Manor's garden and then following all the hints until you unlock the lake in the mountains.
Been playing for over a week now and this game is kinda addictive in the sense that the story is just so good and the characters are so amazing. Every one of them is so unique and I have a tough time thinking who is best girl (But maybe it's pixie, call me basic but I think maybe it is) Good humor, Good Drama but I'm sorry the Hitting sound effects in some dramatic scenes are some you'd hear in like YouTube videos and It is so hilarious It really breaks the dramatic tension and not in a good way. This is what I'm looking for in a RPG VN, Well done to the team
No team, just me I'm afraid :) I'm glad you're enjoying the game, though! I agree that the sound effects could be better, but I'm working with a very small sample of free sfx so unfortunately my choices are limited, haha. Maybe I'll be able to find some better ones and substitute them later on!
Sally appears in the college sub-story. Which is unlocked after progressing Madison's story and buying the college from her.
When you reach authority level 5 in the college (last level of authority) you will be able to visit Sally's company in the map and ask her to sell it to you.
Hey man, loving your game. I honestly didn't expect to be hooked to it as I am now. I'm looking forward to each update now. I was wondering why the gallery is missing some H scenes that are actually in game tho? Anyways keep up the good work !
Hey, thank you very much! I'm glad you're enjoying the game :)
As for your question, well, what Cursed said. Eventually even the repeatable scenes will be in the Gallery (and I've added a couple already) but probably not until the game is in a finished state and I'm in the "polish/passthrough" stage.

Aww, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and I hope you hold off on hitting that "uninstall" button long enough to see it through to the end! :)
(slowly slides notebook with "have Roxy sacrifice herself by generating a huge explosion with her own body to save MC" behind my back)
Kidding! Or am I? Only one way to find out! ;)
Did you make the animations yourself or did u use a app if so what app is it
For 99% of the animations, I used Koikatsu, along with the excellent mods that the community has provided :)
The other 1% (like Asteria exercising, the barbell lifting and the arm-wrestling) I made myself, which you can tell by the drastically lower quality :P
wow thank you , those animations u made yourself were actually good
I would find it cool if you can make veronica to stop being such a bitch (maybe your slave) and maybe get her to life in the mansion! Overall more school content :)
College content, aside from uncovering the mystery of the Quiet Girl and the Sword Girl, is pretty much done, I'm afraid! It already has way more content than the other properties you can buy, and I don't want to turn CK into a school game ;)
The College will come into play in Act Three (provided you own it, and have achieved certain things) but not as an educational institute... DUN DUN DUUUUN!
Well first of all, fuck you.
Next, you can exit the Nexus through Morgana's place if you still haven't got a key of your own, which judging by your limited vocabulary, I'm guessing you couldn't get that far even if you tried
This right here. As unright as this is gonna sound not only makes me laugh but earns my respect lol
Damn son, take a chill pill.
I'm very curious on what you have in mind, but I am certainly excited for it, Arc. The best wishes.
I hope you enjoy what I have planned! Well, enjoy most of it, anyway. Some of it is going to be sad. CUE THE SUPSENSEFUL MUSIC!
Dude, please... No deaths...
how do i get to the club?
buy the bar, then the club upgrade
thank you :D
hey, im just curious but how close do you think you are to finishing this game?
Another year - two at the absolute most. Act Three should move along much faster than Act Two did, and I'm excited to wrap up the story :)
Will act 3 be the ending or do you have some more stuff planned?
Act 3 is the final story act, then there's the epilogue.
Game might have different endings but one of them is going to be the "canon" ending.
Because Arc might use the same universe on future games.
But I'm almost certain it won't be the same protagonist.
What Cursed said :)
Act Three, then Epilogue, which will have three main endings each with three sub-endings, plus a "canon" ending for the game (as well as individual wrap-ups for each of the characters based on your actions throughout the game, and especially in Act Three)
can someone tell me how to repair the barn?
I'm 100% sure, but I'm fairly certain that's just the Farm Upgrade. You can get it the same way as any other upgrade - from the Properties menu in Jessica's office :)
thanks for the advice, but the problem is that I already tried to improve it that way and it doesn't appear available
Can I do anything with the shy girl in school or the girl when you do an survey and she rans away?
shy girl can be "accessed" in the classroom once you have max authority, the weird girl with a sword... idk about her
Both girls are... special. How special? Well, that will be revealed in Act Three... provided you've done enough in the college, of course ;)
i hope maximizing my authority is enough, if i have to get the education all the way up again i think i'll cry lmao
In the new update Arc made it so the education levels don't drop after you get to auth 5.
I really doubt we're going to have to keep raising authority and stuff in the future content.
But if you didn't do the authority on act 2 then the content might not be available in act 3...
No more Authority raising needed, and as Cursed said you can "lock" your Education level once you hit maximum Authority (so I would advise making sure your Education level is nice and high, then locking and forgetting about it) :)
do you plan on adding more yandere content or keep it to gwen?
More yandere content for Gwen, but almost certainly not for anyone else, unless it's a side character for Gwen to fight ;)
I had this game suggested to me by some random on Reddit, damn do I owe the guy a thank you.

I'm glad you're enjoying the game, regardless! And nope, not done, not abandoned. Weekly updates for the last three years (aside from one-week breaks every two months) and I intend to keep that going until the game is complete! :)
Didn't speak to Emma at the right time. I kept trying mornings and then working in the bar afterwards.
hello, for when it will come out to get Gwen pregnant, it would be curious how she would take it knowing that it is a little special if you ignore her, great game, I am following it since 0.12 and I love it, it is one of the best that I have played, great game
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)
Gwen (and Chloe) will be able to get pregnant at some point in Act Three, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little while for that.
Ohhhh ok ok, thank you, I love the Game, congrants!!:)
Hey so I tried finding the witch by exploring and after I found her hat by going south 3 times I wasn't able to find her anymore. I went north west and then south but it sent me back. Anything I missed perhaps? I've talked with Chloe.
Check the hat in your inventory :)
Huge fan of the first MILF in the property visits mission with Jessica. Please tell me there will be more content with her...
You mean Laura? Yes, you get a second event with her and later on you can get her to move into the the Manor :)
Hi, is there a way to update my current game w/o having to install a full ZIP again and taking up more disk space each time? Unless that's not how it works, I'm not very familiar with how disk space is taken up and whatnot. Also, would installing new versions create any problems with save files from previous versions?
Well, yes if you're using the itch.io launcher you can download the game with it and afterwards when you update the game it will download only the changes. Very neat thing.
Saves are always compatible, very rarely they're not but to ensure your saves will keep working try saving in a "safe location" like the protagonist's bedroom.
Also you can delete the old versions of the game no problem, the saves are kept on a separate location in
%appdata%\RenPy\CorruptedKingdoms-1547378918
Thank you for letting me know. I've just installed the launcher, is there any way to carry over the games I currently have downloaded? I've tried dragging in existing folders but they don't seem to work
I would try first downloading the version of the game that your saves were under in the launcher. Then go to the save games folder in the version that has your saves, select to copy the game save files, open the save game folder for the one downloaded through the launcher, and pasting them into the folder. Then open the game through the launcher, open the last save you had. If it works then create a new save and exit the game. Then download the newest version of the game, open the game, open the save game and then create a new save game under the updated version.
Hi,
Is this a demo or full game (in Early Access) ?
Are you going to sell it on Steam or other plateform when it's finished?
You could say early access, game is being developed with updates each week.
As for selling it on Steam, I don't think Arc can do that.
Probably should've let him answer...
Basically what Cursed said :)
I can't put the game up on Steam because whilst Illusion has stated it's happy for indie devs to use its assets in their games, they don't yet have a formal licensing deal set up - and Steam requires that all assets be licensed.
Maybe the next game! :)
Hello, there's been a problem I've been experiencing on my Lenovo Android 11. Whenever I play the game, it'll crash right after starting a new game. it happens all the time, even if I change the SDK a bit. Nothing changes.
I've even enabled permission of the app to manage all files, no difference.
Im wondering if you could fix this problem, thanks.
Unfortunately this is an issue with Ren'py and Android not getting along well - usually because of issues with graphics rendering. At a guess I'd say you're using a relatively older phone?
There's actually a potential fix in the latest version of Ren'py which I'll be upgrading to for next week's release (0.15.9) so if nothing else is working, hopefully that will!
Is there a way to get the crystal that prohibits the education off your desk when you teach, or are you stuck with it on your desk, or is it something you need to unlock something.
Uhhhh what?
Right, the crystal that you buy from the merchant in the field is to reduce the education level weekly drop.
It drops 5 points every week, with the crystal is 4.
You can't remove it once you bought it, but you don't really have a reason to remove it.
If your education levels aren't rising is because you're using powers, you're not supposed to use powers.
oh!!! thank much appreciated.
did this game update
https://thearcadean.itch.io/corrupted-kingdoms/devlog/417465/weekly-update-v0157
Gone through a couple days in game, and uh, TwEntY FIve
... DaNCe wItH Us...
Hey does anyone know how to go on the date with the receptionist? I can't seem to get the event to trigger. Has it not been implemented?
Follow the lead, you're missing a step before it happens.
Usually it's talking to Gramps
In regards to Lunas quest
*SPOILERS*
*SPOILERS*
*SPOILERS *
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Okay so you have the two options on how to continue her quest
I took the meaner option. Probably justified.
Just wondering what the differences are and if I would have taken the awakening rout what would be different
Right now? Not much.
Who knows if it will have a bigger effect in the future aside from dialogue differences.
Arc can't really afford to spend time branching out too much each choice.
This and The Headmaster are two of the best plot driven adult games i have seen on this site. this game is just brilliant and i cant wait for version 0.15.8 to come out.
Not sure why 0.15.8 specifically, it's just one week.
And most of the time there's no guarantee as to what content will it have.
because i fairly recently started playing the game and I'm nearing the end of what you can do in phaze 2 so im exited to anything that expands phase 2.
Hey, thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)
Android version is broken for me.
I'm unable to get past naming your character. The enter key does nothing.
You may be using a non-standard or unsupported keyboard app. Try downloading the official Google keyboard and see if that helps.

This fixed it thanks!
how do I get "damaged" Gwen?
Ignore her and dont give her attention for a week(in game)
make your to tell her she isnt allowed to message you anymoe you cant turn it back on once she has the trait
keep up the great work. great game. great sex scenes and a great story
Aww, thanks! I appreciate it! :)
44 hours in the game and i just reached the end of the content, just before the « big event ».
The game is really good and i really like how pregnancy and children are. It's fun because after reaching the end of the content, i spend much time with all differents event across the map and it looked like i spent time with my families before the fight.
There are some things I need to asked just to be sure I didn't miss anything.
Lady of the Lake : Is it possible to help her in the current build ? I possess the Marina but I didn't found anything.
Is there any «hidden» quests in Demesnes ? Therer are some things that could lead to more but ... nothing (Luna's people, Host servers in Roxy's, etc)
Is there anything to do with the Counsil Caretaker ?
Anyway, good job for the work and good luck for the next !
I'll follow you with attention ! o/
The answer to pretty much all of those is "Not in the game yet"
Arc seems to like leaving things open, but I guess having big bold letters saying "NO MORE CONTENT IN THIS VERSION" everywhere you go would be a bit offputting, unless it's main story stuff or something.
Thank you for the answer and i complety understand this.
I'll just wait for the next then. Love. Peace. o/
What Cursed said :)
I'm glad you're enjoying the game, despite the cliffhangers, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future of CK (and all subsequent games)!
Hey Arc, question. For Jessica's night sex scene, when she's riding the MC, is the MC's fingers suppose to sink into her thighs, or was that a glitch?
Clipping (or floating) is unfortunately an unavoidable issue when it comes to animating 3D models. There are AAA games on the market that haven't managed to do away with it entirely, so as a solo dev I just do the best I can ;)
Thanks for the response. Much appreciated it, and don't worry. It was just a question out of curiosity. Thanks again!
Looks like you’re a girl?
Everytime I'm about to save and leave I always decide to go to Samantha before saving
10/10 game
With a husband like hers, I'm sure she appreciates the care and attention! :) I'm glad you're enjoying the game!
I've been meaning to ask but what does the gwen yandere mode do? I encountered that in some cases whenever I leave, she stops me and weirdly sniffs at me like some kind of a stalker. After that nothing weird I encountered related to her ever happens. Am I doing wrong or there is some specific thing that I need to do first?
To be quite honest this game is pretty good and pretty captivating to watch sometimes. I also like how the dev is a goddamn chad for giving us a great game that is essentially free. Just some of my thoughts for the game lol.
That kinda is Gwen's yandere mode.
Her original personality, plus what you did to her, she's very clingy.
If you don't have sex with her at least two times a week she starts getting more and more crazy.
If you don't have sex with her for like a month or so she gets to the final stage.
Not much more than that, but don't worry she won't kill or harm anyone, that would upset the MC and she's rather die than upset the MC.
She goes through "Yandere mode" changes, getting increasingly more crazily-obsessed with you the longer you ignore her for. Starts with sniffing, moves on to text messages and then... well, I won't spoil the surprise ;)
I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)
Sorry for replying late but thanks for all your hardwork man I appreciate it. Hope that not only you create hot content for us that appreciates your work but also create captivating content that is not neccessarily pornographic.
I've been playing for a few days now (I took a long break l, maybe 3 months or more)
And I noticed that my game is running extremely slow, like text and animations taking a long time, especially when rewinding and saving(takes up to 10 seconds).
I have a powerfull phone(I think)
8gb's of ram
And a snapdragon 732g
I also tried pc version on joyplay but it's slow on there too.
Plenty of storage left too.
So I don't really know where the problem is coming from.
I haven't had this the first few times I played.
Thanks for reading, I'm loving the game more with every second ❤️♥️
Hmm, that's strange... is it only happening for CK, or do you have the same problem with other Ren'py games?
Unfortunately, Android and Ren'py sometimes don't play well together. Some people have had luck adjusting their battery settings, some people report success after powering down their phone and booting it back up. Perhaps one of those solutions will work for you?
Sorry I can't be more help! It's an issue with Ren'py and Android's interaction and I can't do anything about either of those kits :(
Thanks, it only happens with ck, but not always, it's a bit weird.
Probably something wrong with my phone i.e. custom firmware (xiaomi.eu)
Thanks again ^^
AMAZING GAME! I love the real estate portion of it and the fact that you have to work at the school in order to unlock scenes. Your doing great!
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the game - that means a lot to hear :)
How do i get to know luna , I've been trying to find something in the darkness with the candle and the only thing i found was the swamp thing
follow what the candle light say
thank you, and could you tell me how to progress in the "explore the town" in roxys questline i really dont know what to do in there
edit: nevermind i finally got it
Hey guys, i've been stucked on jessica's storyline, problably skipped what to do and dont understand the hint, It says "i should keep investiganting, and learn more about the organization", sry for the inconvinience and for the broken english XD
Follow the "Organisation" lead (the envelope icon in the top-right of your screen shows all your leads). If you don't have an Organisation lead then you haven't yet triggered the Gramps questline, which you need to do by going to the Manor's garden and then following all the hints until you unlock the lake in the mountains.
Hope that helps! :)
how do i update the game?
Android? Download the apk and install as an update, DO NOT UNINSTALL.
Other platforms, just download the game and launch again.
I really recommend using the itch.io launcher.
https://itch.io/app
Been playing for over a week now and this game is kinda addictive in the sense that the story is just so good and the characters are so amazing. Every one of them is so unique and I have a tough time thinking who is best girl (But maybe it's pixie, call me basic but I think maybe it is) Good humor, Good Drama but I'm sorry the Hitting sound effects in some dramatic scenes are some you'd hear in like YouTube videos and It is so hilarious It really breaks the dramatic tension and not in a good way. This is what I'm looking for in a RPG VN, Well done to the team
jessica best girl
Pixie best girl :)
No team, just me I'm afraid :) I'm glad you're enjoying the game, though! I agree that the sound effects could be better, but I'm working with a very small sample of free sfx so unfortunately my choices are limited, haha. Maybe I'll be able to find some better ones and substitute them later on!
Still though Keep up the great work, looking forward to future updates
How do I find Sally so I can buy the company?
Sally appears in the college sub-story.
Which is unlocked after progressing Madison's story and buying the college from her.
When you reach authority level 5 in the college (last level of authority) you will be able to visit Sally's company in the map and ask her to sell it to you.
Hey man, loving your game. I honestly didn't expect to be hooked to it as I am now. I'm looking forward to each update now. I was wondering why the gallery is missing some H scenes that are actually in game tho? Anyways keep up the good work !
The gallery isn't meant to have all the sex scenes.
It's meant for you to be able to revisit scenes that are one-time only.
If a scene isn't in the gallery, is because it can be easily repeated by just playing the game.
Hey, thank you very much! I'm glad you're enjoying the game :)
As for your question, well, what Cursed said. Eventually even the repeatable scenes will be in the Gallery (and I've added a couple already) but probably not until the game is in a finished state and I'm in the "polish/passthrough" stage.
Hey just wondering if there were any plans for more content with the girls in the burned apartment.
Also love the game, story and girls hooked me defo the best H game ive played
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :) As for Jackie and Samantha, yes, more content for both is planned. Hopefully sooner rather than later!
