Looks like the download got corrupted, likely due to a momentary instability in your internet provider. I'd suggest re-downloading it, that should solve the problem.
If you're on Android, be sure to back up your saves first as you may need to delete the game and reinstall it.
Your saves are located at: Android/data/com.domain.corruptedkingdoms/saves
NOTE: If you're running Android 11+ then Google has hidden your data folder. To access it you need to connect your phone to your PC with a USB cable or use an app like Solid Explorer or X-Plore to give you access to the folder again.
This is probably the first ever H game that I ever played on my Android, and I won't lie, I had so much fun. The plot and characters are absolutely interesting. I'm glad my friend recommended me this game.
Forgive me for my lack of English (4th language...), but is there gonna be more scenes (or H more scenes) for Veronica and Madison soon? I love these two!
I'm glad you liked it! And don't worry about your English - it's better than most native speakers I know ;)
As for Madison and Veronica, yes, their stories are far from over! More events, more scenes and more character growth is planned for them both. Stay tuned!
That's an Itch thing, and there's nothing I can do about it unfortunately. They seem to be messing around with their Butler code, and a side-effect is that any individual file that's uploaded gets packaged into a zip whether I like it or not.
Your save file will record the version that the game was at when you saved it. What does the little "Alpha vX.XX.X" say on the title screen when you boot the game up?
Hello Sir I have played Corupted Kingdom for awhile, i love the game very much. but i think i got a bug at Chloe first event, i'm playing 0.14.5, i found that there is a bugfix 0.7.0 fix this issue but all the link of this bug fix seem outdated or missing file. can you help me with this ? thanks alot.
Pixie only, uh, "massages" herself with the laptop if (A) you can used your Control Power on someone that day, and (B) if no other night-time event plays.
Hi, I'm here to say that I liked the game it's my favorite not only because it's an adult game but also because of the story and the characters are very funny but it took me a while to finish
All the missions available in the Game due to my Brazilian language I play in a translated version so I didn't understand the last Nexus key [because I'm dumb :)] but I managed to
I only found two bugs in the game, the first one is that at the beginning there are times when the save option doesn't work It was probably a bug of the translated version and this error never happened again
The second bug is when I leave and come back all my saves are gone I was desperate at first but after I deleted and reinstalled all my saves came back so I learned how
Quitting without all my saves being erased but this game is amazing as incredible as it may seem I learned a lot like people don't sleep under cover:] just kidding
I hope the [lapkgames] team translate the new updates because I would get lost
This game has a lot of potential I feel that in the future new characters will appear and I'm reading all the update notices
Hey, thanks for all the feedback! I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future :)
I'm sorry about the bugs you've been experiencing - it sounds like that's a result of the translation (I did a very bad job at setting the game up for translators) but I'm glad you managed to get everything working properly!
Hello, I am a Spanish-speaking player, and I wanted to ask if it would be possible for me to help or support him, with translations into other languages, in my case Spanish
What Cursed said :) But also, I'm in the process of reworking the main game website and when it's done there will be a section for unofficial translations of CK.
So if you'd like to help out in an unofficial capacity, that'd be awesome! And I can put your translation up on the new site when it's done.
But sadly actually hiring translators is going to have to wait until the game is nearly complete.
....... Just want to make sure, can the save files on the Windows version be transferred and used on the Mac (Or even the Android one, but the former is enough for me) version, or vice versa?
Due to how the engine works the saves are compatible across platforms. You just need to find them and move them to the right location.
Also make sure you're in the right page. It goes way past page 9 but you need to hit the arrow a bunch of times.
Obligatory save location copypasta:
WHERE ARE SAVES LOCATED ON ANDROID? Android/data/com.domain.corruptedkingdoms/files/saves
WHERE ARE SAVES LOCATED ON PC? PC > Local Disk (usually C:) > Users > USERNAME > AppData > Roaming > RenPy > CorruptedKingdoms-1547378918
WHERE ARE SAVES LOCATED ON LINUX? ~/. renpy/CorruptedKingdoms/
WHERE ARE SAVES LOCATED ON MAC? ~/Library/RenPy/CorruptedKingdoms
NOTE: If you're running Android 11+ then Google has hidden your data folder. To access it you need to connect your phone to your PC with a USB cable or use an app like Solid Explorer or X-Plore to give you access to the folder again.
Lots of people with low-end phones claim the same issue and it doesn't seem like something Arc himself can fix. But instead a problem of the engine itself.
I personally don't have access to a phone with the issue to test.
Maybe the problem is the processor? I thought its just the android version but my old phone can run it just fine but there is some fps issue. Anyway thanks to the response! So long lewd fella 8====D
I honestly don't see sex sounds adding that much more to the game. There's people that want them, people that find them annoying and the majority is just indifferent to them.
Full voice acting won't happen, like ever, too expensive. Moans and stuff during sex scenes is easier to do but also problematic... And honestly, do wet slapping noises add that much?
As for Claire... Eventually, she's not a main girl but apparently she will have more content than usual. The important part being "eventually".
People have different tastes. For me, some gasping and moaning adds a lot. The wet slapping I can take or leave. TheArcadean is doing an amazing job. So amazing that I'd like perfection, that's all!
Some people do. Honestly, some minimal voice acting could do fine. Having them react non-verbally to what is going on could improve the experience a fair bit. Without having to worry about hundreds of thousands of lines of dialogue. But it would be really difficult to find someone to match Gramps' laugh...
As for gasps and moans. Personally I always just turn them off. You can hear the same generic asian girl moans for so long before you start begging for someone to shove a drill up your ears.
If I'm honest with you, I'd rather have more background music. Different girls having different... "sex music"? To match the feel of the scene. But it's not that easy to find royalty free music that could be considered "sex music".
I enjoyed it, I finished all storylines a couple of grindings here and there, difficult to obtain the fey crystals specially to get some stuff on the Merchant from the fields, I still havent bought the question marked property, I did get the field. But since the church story is not yet there,,, I feel incomplete.
Well, game's incomplete aswell. Will be for a year or two. Arc's hoping for just one more year, but you know what they say. You can plan a picnic but you can't predict the weather.
The jobs the merchant gives are supposed to pay more depending on the skill level, but it's still a fair bit grindy. Imagine buying properties if your only source of income was working on the bar. Possible, but also a royal pain in the ass. I would try to suggest alternative methods of income, specially whenever we unlock the third currency. But I can't think of anything.
The property with a questionmark nobody knows what it is, it hasn't been decided, and perhaps we'll see more properties. It's just a placeholder. And the church will most likely be unlocked during act 3.
Absolutely amazing story so far. I was addicted from the moment I started playing. Great characters, with enough diversity to keep things interesting. Believable and immersive dialogue. I laughed, I cried, I got angry. This is a very well written story that is easy to get emotionally invested in.
I also really enjoyed the real estate layer. Wish there would be a little more expansion on that as well, but overall, quite enjoyable.
I absolutely adored Pixie's and Kana's storyline. Hoping for more of both.
More of a personal preference than anything else, but kinda wish there were more small chested characters. I've never been a fan of large/giant breasts.
Honestly though, really top notch writing. This is among my absolute favorites from this site. Easily top 5. (I've played a ton of AVN's on here lol)
Thank you for the awesome work and please keep it coming.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game! It means a lot to hear that people are playing and having fun with it - and even more if it can spark any kind of emotional reaction :)
More to come, for sure! And as soon as CK is done, it's on to the next one!
For sure! Thank you for doing such an awesome job. I cannot wait to see where this goes in the future.
I think my top three favorite characters are Kana, Qarina and Pixie. Kana's and Qarina's story moved me to tears, quite literally.
I was genuinely moved by their own personal tragedies. And I was really hoping there would be an option for the MC to profess his love for Kana, and move her into the manor. I could easily see her being my choice for a "Main Squeeze" she's adorable, and has so much potential for an expanded story. Really hoping to see more of her in future updates.
System Specifics would help anyone answer that question…but I suggest trying another Renpy game.
I just had to do a system restore a bit back (Windows, obviously) because I lost all the graphical motion scenes including the title background after trying a new game…a game I obviously won’t be playing again lol.
It's been a few months last I played this game and I had kids with most of the characters but I saw there's a "Find kids" Option in the Nexus and I had children there but I have a Bad memory and I REMEMEBER None of them.
Is there anyway to see their names? I know they're there somewhere but I can't remember their names. PLease.
I also thought this might be an issue. I know that when I come back for the next update I'm gonna be scratching my head because I have a few kids in the nexus and cannot remember their names.
Loving the updates and the game but I feel like I somehow missed out on things since some outfits are locked to me still and I have done everything I can to this point, am I doing something wrong or missing something?
Nope - all updates here are public and can be downloaded by anyone :)
I do the Early Access releases every Monday and the public releases every Thursday (with the exception of next week as I'm taking my once-every-two-months break)
I need your help ;), can you please tell me what software are you using to make this visual novel?
I have wrote the first part of my story and my friends liked it a lot, so I was thinking to make a game too.. of course you will get the beta version first because I need a professional advice that how will my game do.
Currently I am using Ren'py and Koikatsu and have completed 25% of the v0.0.1(Beta)
Till June(As expected by me) I will release the first Beta version!
Can you please give me some tips and things that can help me to develop it perfectly like Corrupted Kingdoms.
And now you know why I was not commenting for 20days :)
Sure, no problem - always happy to help budding game developers! Just don't forget me when you become rich and famous! ;)
For coding I use Ren'py. For the art I use Koikatsu and edit in Photoshop for renders and Premiere Pro for animations. For music and sound editing I use Audacity (make sure to balance the decibel levels for all your music and sound! I use -16 for music and -12 for sound effects)
As for tips and tricks, well, the two biggest pieces of advice I can give is, one, that CONSISTENCY IS KING! Players will forgive a lot of beginner miss-steps and mistakes if your updates are regular and consistent. Secondly, under-promise and over-deliver. This is something I'm TERRIBLE at, but it's much better to keep your scope small and expand when you have the time, opportunity and energy, than to start out biting off more than you can chew and end up struggling or even having to give up on the planned thing entirely.
Apart from that, just off the top of my head:
1. A good trick for making characters recognisable is to give all of them different speech patterns.
2. Make sure your characters all have AT LEAST these three things: A strength, a weakness and a fear.
3. Listen to your playerbase but don't be ruled by them. You want to make them happy, of course, but never at the cost of your vision for the story.
4. The most important parts of any scene are framing and lighting
There's a pile more, but I just woke up and brain no worky so good :P Hope that helps, though, and if you have any more questions feel free to ask them here or send me a DM on Discord

hello how is this ?
while you’re talking to someone, click the book in the top right corner and then click the card that looks like a tornado thingy
I can't download the android version,is keep failing
I think that is not supposed to happen after updating the game?
Looks like the download got corrupted, likely due to a momentary instability in your internet provider. I'd suggest re-downloading it, that should solve the problem.
If you're on Android, be sure to back up your saves first as you may need to delete the game and reinstall it.

hello.. what name do you want to give this ?
🙏🏻please..
Whatever name you gave the kid(s) you gave to Artifact
I have given the name Alrifad but it still fails...
Double-check that you have the right name by going to the daycare and clicking on "Daycare Registry"
Aku bisa dan terima kasih
When is the new update for the game?
Every thursday for free and monday for paid
umm... pls update the Download File for Android it gives .zip file instead of apk
That's an Itch thing, and there's nothing I can do about it unfortunately. They seem to be messing around with their Butler code, and a side-effect is that any individual file that's uploaded gets packaged into a zip whether I like it or not.
I would suggest this method to open the zip:

anyone know where to find a witch goblin
Try in the west and south I Found her
Wait i just realized my save file says v.0.13.7 i updated the game tho..... does that mean i have to play everything from the start again....?
Your save file will record the version that the game was at when you saved it. What does the little "Alpha vX.XX.X" say on the title screen when you boot the game up?
Hello Sir
I have played Corupted Kingdom for awhile, i love the game very much.
but i think i got a bug at Chloe first event, i'm playing 0.14.5, i found that there is a bugfix 0.7.0 fix this issue but all the link of this bug fix seem outdated or missing file.
can you help me with this ?
thanks alot.
Can you tell me what the bug is?
how do you get the first pixie h-scene of her rubbing herself on the laptop, no matter how many times i sleep at the flat i get nothing
Pixie only, uh, "massages" herself with the laptop if (A) you can used your Control Power on someone that day, and (B) if no other night-time event plays.
both of those are met, yet even after 100's of nights nothing
No, it has to be on THAT DAY. You can't Control someone on day 1 and then get the scene on day 2, for example.

Hello, I am a Spanish-speaking player, and I wanted to ask if it would be possible for me to help or support him, with translations into other languages, in my case Spanish
There are unofficial translations all over the place.
Arc's weekly schedule makes it difficult to get extra people working in the game.
Translations are planned, but pretty much once the game is done or nearly done.
Which won't be the case for a while.
En resumen.
Arc no esta buscando traductores por ahora.
What Cursed said :) But also, I'm in the process of reworking the main game website and when it's done there will be a section for unofficial translations of CK.
So if you'd like to help out in an unofficial capacity, that'd be awesome! And I can put your translation up on the new site when it's done.

the ice cream girls uoohhhh
Why is the resolution of the images so low? Does the quality of the images get better in later updates?
No. All scenes are 720p with a pinch of compression.
Always been, always will be.
Re-rendering everything at higher resolutions not only would take a long time, it would make the game considerably larger.
Also I tried AI upscaling... Some stuff looked good, other stuff looked like an oil painting.
:(

The Android Version isn't working. I really want to play this.
Not working how?
Not installing?
Not launching?
Are you on a low end phone like a Samsung A10 or A20?
If yes, then the game won't work.
Sorry, nothing that Arc can really do about it.
I can play 0.9.0 anything beyond that will close me out.
How can I give classes at the college outside from that veronica event?
You need to progress Madison and Veronica's stories to the current max.
So then you visit their mansion and ask Madison to sell you the college.
You buy it and you can give classes in the empty classroom.
Is there a way to remember all the key words you used in the Nexus? If not, can someone remind me what the key words were?
You don't really need to remember the keys.
Story-related ones, you'll be prompted to enter them again.
Entering them again will just give you some extra dialogue.
Easter egg ones, why would you put them again.
The only useful one, you don't need to input it again.
That one being think about gramps
Is it just only me that the game crash from the start of the dialogue? My device is android v11, 2gb ram, cpu helioA22.
Honestly, we've no clue.
Lots of people with low-end phones claim the same issue and it doesn't seem like something Arc himself can fix.
But instead a problem of the engine itself.
I personally don't have access to a phone with the issue to test.
Maybe the problem is the processor? I thought its just the android version but my old phone can run it just fine but there is some fps issue. Anyway thanks to the response! So long lewd fella 8====D
how do i progress with morgana
Morgana doesn't really have content yet?
All her significant appearances have to do with the main story.
You're going to have to be more specific.
Also, recommend joining the discord to get answers earlier.
Arc checks this site during certain hours, and I do a few rounds a day when I remember to do so.
Excellent game. Sex scenes need audio.
More Claire please! Claire is hot!
I honestly don't see sex sounds adding that much more to the game.
There's people that want them, people that find them annoying and the majority is just indifferent to them.
Full voice acting won't happen, like ever, too expensive.
Moans and stuff during sex scenes is easier to do but also problematic...
And honestly, do wet slapping noises add that much?
As for Claire...
Eventually, she's not a main girl but apparently she will have more content than usual.
The important part being "eventually".
Not expecting full voice acting, ever!
People have different tastes. For me, some gasping and moaning adds a lot. The wet slapping I can take or leave.
TheArcadean is doing an amazing job. So amazing that I'd like perfection, that's all!
Some people do.
Honestly, some minimal voice acting could do fine.
Having them react non-verbally to what is going on could improve the experience a fair bit. Without having to worry about hundreds of thousands of lines of dialogue.
But it would be really difficult to find someone to match Gramps' laugh...
As for gasps and moans.
Personally I always just turn them off.
You can hear the same generic asian girl moans for so long before you start begging for someone to shove a drill up your ears.
If I'm honest with you, I'd rather have more background music.
Different girls having different... "sex music"?
To match the feel of the scene.
But it's not that easy to find royalty free music that could be considered "sex music".
Fuck a duck.
They should hire normal asian girls and not hentai girls to do the voice acting.
I enjoyed it, I finished all storylines a couple of grindings here and there, difficult to obtain the fey crystals specially to get some stuff on the Merchant from the fields, I still havent bought the question marked property, I did get the field. But since the church story is not yet there,,, I feel incomplete.
Well, game's incomplete aswell.
Will be for a year or two.
Arc's hoping for just one more year, but you know what they say.
You can plan a picnic but you can't predict the weather.
The jobs the merchant gives are supposed to pay more depending on the skill level, but it's still a fair bit grindy.
Imagine buying properties if your only source of income was working on the bar.
Possible, but also a royal pain in the ass.
I would try to suggest alternative methods of income, specially whenever we unlock the third currency.
But I can't think of anything.
The property with a questionmark nobody knows what it is, it hasn't been decided, and perhaps we'll see more properties.
It's just a placeholder. And the church will most likely be unlocked during act 3.
Cheers.
Im stuck at nexus can anyone help when i press stop exploring it just sends me back to one pf the girls room
Click on Morganas realm
How do i get evidence to confront the staff at morgana's after i question them. I've tried everything i can think of
Read carefully every story and reason from the staff
Or read carefully every post on here, its been covered by CursedFlame already in this section or one of the last 2 Update Links 😉
this menu soundtrack is actually really nice, it's also a really fun game with a good plot, nice job!
I just started and it keeps crashing if you can fix it how?,and if not please let me know cuz I need the storage space, BTW I’m on android
Absolutely amazing story so far. I was addicted from the moment I started playing. Great characters, with enough diversity to keep things interesting. Believable and immersive dialogue. I laughed, I cried, I got angry. This is a very well written story that is easy to get emotionally invested in.

I'm pretty sure this has already been brought to the developers attention.
My solution would be that you could talk to the Artifact, and she could remind you of the kid's names.
Oh. Did not know that. I'll try it out next time I play.
Thanks
I think you misunderstand. This isn't actually in the game. It is just my suggestion to solve the problem.
Thanks man.
Just go to the daycare and click on "Daycare Registry". All the names of every kid you've had is there, sorted by mother :)
Cliffhanger, cliffhanger, cliffhanger!!!
For the ones that don't read the changelogs extensively.
Arc is on a break next week.
Meaning 0.14.4 will go for supporters the 2nd of May and then go public the 5th (public is the one that gets posted here).
Just in case.
Been waitin for that update mate can't still forgot about the cliffhanger hahaha but hope ya continue it is very good game
I'm trying to get through all the side content as fast as possible so I can get back to that cliffhanger - I promise! ;)
Les goooooo
Loving the game so far - just finished act 1, keep up the good work!
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the game :)
Loving the updates and the game but I feel like I somehow missed out on things since some outfits are locked to me still and I have done everything I can to this point, am I doing something wrong or missing something?
Well, if you'd like faster answers I'd recommend joining the discord.
But aside from the leads and the hints in the heart cards.
There's some side stuff to do, game won't hold your hand that much, Arc doesn't like that.
I don't really know what you're missing and trying to figure it out in here would be a mess...
That's why, recommend the discord server.
Love the new look. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it! :)
I just have a question, are the weekly update for Patrons only because mine is stuck at 11.2 Alpha?. I was just wondering.
Nope - all updates here are public and can be downloaded by anyone :)
I do the Early Access releases every Monday and the public releases every Thursday (with the exception of next week as I'm taking my once-every-two-months break)
Hey Arc!
I need your help ;), can you please tell me what software are you using to make this visual novel?
I have wrote the first part of my story and my friends liked it a lot, so I was thinking to make a game too.. of course you will get the beta version first because I need a professional advice that how will my game do.

Can you please give me some tips and things that can help me to develop it perfectly like Corrupted Kingdoms.
And now you know why I was not commenting for 20days :)
Regards
Sure, no problem - always happy to help budding game developers! Just don't forget me when you become rich and famous! ;)
For coding I use Ren'py. For the art I use Koikatsu and edit in Photoshop for renders and Premiere Pro for animations. For music and sound editing I use Audacity (make sure to balance the decibel levels for all your music and sound! I use -16 for music and -12 for sound effects)
As for tips and tricks, well, the two biggest pieces of advice I can give is, one, that CONSISTENCY IS KING! Players will forgive a lot of beginner miss-steps and mistakes if your updates are regular and consistent. Secondly, under-promise and over-deliver. This is something I'm TERRIBLE at, but it's much better to keep your scope small and expand when you have the time, opportunity and energy, than to start out biting off more than you can chew and end up struggling or even having to give up on the planned thing entirely.
Apart from that, just off the top of my head:
1. A good trick for making characters recognisable is to give all of them different speech patterns.
2. Make sure your characters all have AT LEAST these three things: A strength, a weakness and a fear.
3. Listen to your playerbase but don't be ruled by them. You want to make them happy, of course, but never at the cost of your vision for the story.
4. The most important parts of any scene are framing and lighting
There's a pile more, but I just woke up and brain no worky so good :P Hope that helps, though, and if you have any more questions feel free to ask them here or send me a DM on Discord
Looking forward to seeing your beta demo! :)
Thanks a lot! This info will help me a lot! I will join your discord instead of blabbering here in the comments ;)
