I notice a lot of people are asking a route for Zoe without understanding that the main character is written to be gay. While it is a possibility that a Zoe route could be added in the future, it is highly unlikely. To avoid this misunderstanding in the future, I feel Rook should make this detail more discreet.
He literally says that he is gay...if you choose to write the paper on gay rights, he pretty much says, "I'm gay so why not write about something I know about" or something to that effect lmao
On day 1 Zoe also straight up ask you if you’re gay if you accept Aiden’s invitation, and Mason says he is; if you hang out at the library with Jude you also say you are.
The only day 1 option that I don’t think says it explicitly is hanging out with Quinn at the library, I think the most you say is that Jude is “a pretty attractive guy”.
Меееееех. Забудь про Эхо пока что. Тяжело, она крайне массивная, уровень там ого-го. Но как хочешь. Хотя в таком случае сначала надо в Адастру сыгрануть (плюсом два мелких сиквела: Кхемия и Энтерия).
Должен сказать, он взорвал мне мозг, ибо если честно я мало что понял, но понял только одно, если не расстаться с Лео, Чейз умирает, по причине того что, ломает ноги, во время падения с поезда из за Лео, который еще решает пристрелить друга.
I've figured out something - this is regarding my comment on the multiple files to choose from - earlier. I just recently found out that my itch app will make a copy of the 'new' game version rather than overwrite the old one.
So that means - if you're using the itch app, and you seem to be weirdly low on space, check the game folders in case you're carrying older versions of the games, then delete the old ones, and you're back in business. At least that's what's going on for me.
I'm glad thats happening because if there was a simple mistake in the updates and the developer deleted some codes they would still be in your file area crashing your game probably!
If you really needed to scroll all the way down here to figure out if you wanted to download the game, then I dunno what to tell you….there are a bunch of other comments that touch on the topic and confirm it, so for you to be like “well I’m glad someone asked” is dumb. If you weren’t compelled to download it by then, then chances are knowing if a single character is dateable wouldn’t matter
You seem bitter. The reason I'm glad to know is simply because she looks to be like the only female in the game from the screenshots, you really like to assume people's intentions though I can see. No need to be a ripe 🍑ss.
Bitter or not, ripe or rotten, I was just saying that context clues are helpful, so they should use them...usually if you want answers to game questions, you play the game. I'm not assuming intentions by saying that your comment was strangely placed. I am simply saying that you should just play the game if you're going to ask character-specific questions, that's all
We just made a patreon post about how we're extending our due date to the end of each month. (This is mostly due to us losing days and trying not to cram.) I've not yet expanded upon this publicly as I intended to talk about our new schedule when we released the next build.
So it'll be out within the next few days, I just ask for additional patience.
2: Are the route specific updates going to be once a month? So for every year we only get 3 updates for every route? If so its sad cause its gonna take a while but I get it! Just respond if ya get a chance! Thanks for making a great game Rook!
1. Yes it is! I wasn't really prepared to juggle managing a Discord alongside writing and I knew it would be much larger if it was public.
2. That is indeed the intention, but you never know, I might eventually get ahead on content and push more than one update each month. (This feels unlikely, but I'm an optimist.)
Tried it. Got the Denial ending on Day 2. Unfortunate that the whole 'coming on ridiculously strong and accepting it' is the only way the story progresses. Accepted the ending I got instead. Glad others liked it though.
Well, I'm sad you didn't enjoy it, but I do appreciate the feedback. It's intended to be forceful, but I understand if it's too off-putting for some people.
I might expand on the denial ending more in the future, but it would require more planning than I've currently put into it due to the scope of the story and not being part of the club isn't really part of the plan of the plot I've devised.
I have been wondering how updates work on itch.io, I really love your game on mobile but I have worried that when it updates I won't know how to play it. 💙
I really like this VN! All the characters are really likeable and the drawing and illustration is great, but will it get updated? I really hope it will do
Somehow I am still stuck with 0.4 build and havent been able to view the rest :( . Is there any way for me to get to the newest build? I've tried reinstalling and such but it doesnt seem to be working.
Like... you're downloading the build off of itch and it downloads 0.4? Not sure how that would be possible since we've removed the older versions from our page.
At the moment there isn't a way to skip said scenes should they come up. My intention is to provide a way to skip said scenes in the future, but truth be told there is likely to be references to those scenes as well as just general commentary of an adult nature.
If that isn't your cup of tea, it's possible the story simply won't be for you.
The update is going to be out on the last Saturday of the month. So 0.7 will be released June 26th due to some delays on our end.
My programmer had a lot of work to do with his primary employment and I spent the past month stressing over my grandmother's health which led May to being less productive than either of us would've liked.
Hey Rook I just wanted to ask how your grandmother is doing I know I already commented say hope she feels better and how you have my support but I just wanted to ask
Ive never played visual novels in the past (this is my first) but this is one awesome story. i had no idea i could get this attached to a visual novel but all the characters are so well designed that everyone of them found a place in my heart and the psychic aspect just throws a spice in the middle of it all.
I don't comment or even follow creators often, but this game is an exception.
The characters are very unique but not centered about being a certain personality trait. (so even though each character is excaderated a tad bit, they still feel like real "people" if that makes sense).
The decisions feel like real decisions you would have to make.
the game, i love it but (coming from a bisexual) not a big fan of the whole forced to be gay thing, yk? i mean yah ofc its a gay vn but, selection(?) i guess is always nice
Mason the main character is a gay doggo. Are you wanting a selection of dateable characters that aren't gay? Like you want to date a bisexual dude? A straight dude? (Not naming names here) That would not.. turn out great unless lo-and behold they turned out to be wet spaghetti all along. Cause that's still gonna end up as gay content for the rest of us.
Or are you saying you want him to date a girl? I can't see that going well unless it just turns out as BFFs for shopping.
Or you don't wish to be a gay doggo in this VN? The only choice there is not to play if that disagrees with you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You realize there is a difference between criticism and just trying to shove your own wants onto a creator in the hopes that they will take pity on you and create what you ask them to right? Simple solution. You dont like playing a gay character? Dont play the game. Easy right?
I love this so much! the last time I remember playing it was in 2020 and the build ended at the end of day 2, I'm so glad I chose to play it again! Can't wait for more builds!
Sometimes that happens. Ren'py wasn't really made with this whole frequent release updates in mind. I'm coming up with something to help with that situation though, hopefully.
Not at this time no, we might put an OST together once the soundtrack is finalized and the project is finished, but even then I can't imagine we'd charge for it.
I've removed the replies here as the passwords are intended to be Patreon exclusive. While they can be found and decoded with enough know-how, they are not being handed out and we discourage sharing of that information. If there are individuals with the know-how we welcome their inputs on how we might make the passwords more secure.
We leave them in the public builds as to not limit access to them in the event that former patrons that had the passwords no longer subscribe to the patreon, but we'll be happy to change the model if we need to until the passwords are released to the public following our final build release.
Alrighty, Thank you for your response! thankfully it doesnt look like anyone is sharing the passwords on the sites I'm on so it won't spoil it for me haha.
hope to see more of the VN in the future! -Ace Ayasaki
We were going for a dazed expression but it seems we were off the mark for that because many have assumed it was a bug so it's likely that expression will be changed.
Huh I guess the itch app isn't hiding the old versions we'd kept for statistics but set to not hide. Thank you for bringing this to our attention we'll remove the old versions shortly.
Ohhhhh. I was wondering IF that was the reason you had soooo many different 'versions' in that list. I tend to just keep the most recent version I have up for my games.
Do you guys have any future plot hooks that could lead to the death of a person in this game and if so will there at least be one route to save them all or are some death minimums gonna be unavoidable.

I notice a lot of people are asking a route for Zoe without understanding that the main character is written to be gay. While it is a possibility that a Zoe route could be added in the future, it is highly unlikely. To avoid this misunderstanding in the future, I feel Rook should make this detail more discreet.
if rook adds a Zoe "route" it would be better if it was just like being friends with everyone instead of a specific romantic route,
He literally says that he is gay...if you choose to write the paper on gay rights, he pretty much says, "I'm gay so why not write about something I know about" or something to that effect lmao
On day 1 Zoe also straight up ask you if you’re gay if you accept Aiden’s invitation, and Mason says he is; if you hang out at the library with Jude you also say you are.

Shit, its really nice and harmonical VN for read, but... it to damn short, 5 days, and i ended up in menu with Aiden qwq
I know, it's kinda strange but, it would be nice if Zoe could be chooseable too
Тоже по Эйдену пошёл? Хитрый хрен)))
Попробуй, кстати, Припев Рассвета почитать или FBTW
Я эхо подумывал, почитать, а так... я уже прочитал The Beast, A Hellish Journey.
эту, и Password, по максимуму.
Меееееех. Забудь про Эхо пока что. Тяжело, она крайне массивная, уровень там ого-го. Но как хочешь. Хотя в таком случае сначала надо в Адастру сыгрануть (плюсом два мелких сиквела: Кхемия и Энтерия).

Ну. Ты пошел по самому ожидаемому руту. Ноги не ломаются - поезд их перерезает. А так да.
Насчет Эйдена, это.. был выбор наугад, остальные какие-то не очень, разве что олень еще быть может ничего, но и Эйден неплох, так или иначе.

Yeah, I Just hope they didn't remove the older games on their end, so they can still get their stats
Just a quick, and little question
Zoe dateable? :DDDD
Im curious xd
Noooooo she is not.....dude is gay....he says he is
she even asks who you're interested in which immediately rules herself out why is this even a questionWell I'm glad someone asked it, maybe people that haven't decided on downloading the game yet we're wondering?

Take all the time you need Rook we all know how hard you and your team work it's not easy so take your time no rush
Quinn is such a cutie bun I think I have a huge crush on him iubvquiauqyvgq
When will the update come?
I love Jude and Elliot
One is a beefy Himbo
The other is a flirtatious hunk,
10/10 hot sexy bois
Great VN! Though two questions
1: Is the discord Patreon only?
2: Are the route specific updates going to be once a month? So for every year we only get 3 updates for every route? If so its sad cause its gonna take a while but I get it! Just respond if ya get a chance! Thanks for making a great game Rook!

2. That is indeed the intention, but you never know, I might eventually get ahead on content and push more than one update each month. (This feels unlikely, but I'm an optimist.)
Best VN i ever played, Quinn is so cute!
I'm so excited I'm loving the game especially the best wolf Aiden aiden aiden aiden
slap*
When will the update arrive?
We're roughly a week away actually. :D
Tried it. Got the Denial ending on Day 2. Unfortunate that the whole 'coming on ridiculously strong and accepting it' is the only way the story progresses. Accepted the ending I got instead. Glad others liked it though.
Well, I'm sad you didn't enjoy it, but I do appreciate the feedback. It's intended to be forceful, but I understand if it's too off-putting for some people.

This absolutely didn't fail to impress. This is up there with the best VNs, really look forward to the next update!
I have been wondering how updates work on itch.io, I really love your game on mobile but I have worried that when it updates I won't know how to play it. 💙
If you follow me on itch, you should be notified when new updates come out, and then you just download it off itch. :D
many thanks! For both the game and advice
I don't think I've ever seen you type an emoticon, how wholesome.
This game was amazing, I love Quinn so much he's so adorable and we have so much in common. Thanks so much I can't wait for the update!
I really like this VN! All the characters are really likeable and the drawing and illustration is great, but will it get updated? I really hope it will do
I think he said that the next update's on June 26th
Somehow I am still stuck with 0.4 build and havent been able to view the rest :( . Is there any way for me to get to the newest build? I've tried reinstalling and such but it doesnt seem to be working.
Like... you're downloading the build off of itch and it downloads 0.4? Not sure how that would be possible since we've removed the older versions from our page.
I'm going down the Jude path currently, and he seems a lot like me.
Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only person like this.
Me and my multitude of questions
who knew that the top most rated would be a game about psychic furries. (BTW the game is amazing good job)
Hey, i really liked this update! It was really nice and heart warming. <3
Not Elliott's eyebrows moving! So cute! Keep it up <3
At the moment there isn't a way to skip said scenes should they come up. My intention is to provide a way to skip said scenes in the future, but truth be told there is likely to be references to those scenes as well as just general commentary of an adult nature.
If that isn't your cup of tea, it's possible the story simply won't be for you.

My programmer had a lot of work to do with his primary employment and I spent the past month stressing over my grandmother's health which led May to being less productive than either of us would've liked.
I'm sorry to here about your grandmother I hope she feels well soon. you have my support
Hey Rook I just wanted to ask how your grandmother is doing I know I already commented say hope she feels better and how you have my support but I just wanted to ask
She's doing okay, the situation still isn't great, but we're doing what we can. :'D
that's good to hear. I'm happy knowing she on her way to recovery
I wish it was only birthday (its july 27th but no stress), also hope your grandmother is okay <3
This is amazing
Ive never played visual novels in the past (this is my first) but this is one awesome story. i had no idea i could get this attached to a visual novel but all the characters are so well designed that everyone of them found a place in my heart and the psychic aspect just throws a spice in the middle of it all.
i cant WAIT until the next update!
Ohhh boy.
I don't comment or even follow creators often, but this game is an exception.
The characters are very unique but not centered about being a certain personality trait. (so even though each character is excaderated a tad bit, they still feel like real "people" if that makes sense).

Keep on rolling!

so far, my experience with this VN has been immersive and mesmerizing! no errors to report, giving 5 stars 'cause it definitely deserves!
I seem to be unable to load my last save, it shows an error screen. Any advice on what to do?
Try to rollback or ignore. If neither of those work, you gotta start a new save. This should be easier in the next version, hopefully!
I love this so much! the last time I remember playing it was in 2020 and the build ended at the end of day 2, I'm so glad I chose to play it again! Can't wait for more builds!
I love this game i really do but the texts is still all crazy and I don't know what to do oh and it's on window
Can you send a screenshot to better explain the issue?
I'm really sorry for bothering you about it
No worries Gogeta. I recommend giving the steps in this link a try and see if you have any luck there.
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/display_problems.html
Let me know whether or not that works for you.
sorry Rook no luck but think you for trying it means a lot that you take the time out of you day to help me and other so thank you
im not sure if its because of me or the game but the update doesn't let me skip seen text from the past update
Sometimes that happens. Ren'py wasn't really made with this whole frequent release updates in mind. I'm coming up with something to help with that situation though, hopefully.
The music to this VN is very beautiful! Is the soundtrack being sold anywhere?
Not at this time no, we might put an OST together once the soundtrack is finalized and the project is finished, but even then I can't imagine we'd charge for it.
Is there a specific way to obtain the Passwords or is that a patreon exclusive...?
I've removed the replies here as the passwords are intended to be Patreon exclusive.

When you go to meet Jude to run with him, his sprite during most of that moment, his eyes looks empty.
We were going for a dazed expression but it seems we were off the mark for that because many have assumed it was a bug so it's likely that expression will be changed.
When you launch from the itch app, why are there 20 different 'versions' available? I have no idea which one is the most updated one??
Huh I guess the itch app isn't hiding the old versions we'd kept for statistics but set to not hide. Thank you for bringing this to our attention we'll remove the old versions shortly.
Ohhhhh. I was wondering IF that was the reason you had soooo many different 'versions' in that list. I tend to just keep the most recent version I have up for my games.
uhm, how often do you guy usually release updates? from what i saw, a month per update?
Generally it's 1 month per update but real life CAN get in the way pushing that to 1 uodate every 2 months. However, we aim for one a month.
Hey. When the next patreon update will come?
Patrons get 0.7 at the end of the month putting us back on schedule.
ok, thanks the answer :)
I have a question Mr. Rook and Developers,
Do you guys have any future plot hooks that could lead to the death of a person in this game and if so will there at least be one route to save them all or are some death minimums gonna be unavoidable.
Also I don't think the MC will survive the lewd times with jude or elliot lmfaoo
Well that'd be just the biggest spoiler now wouldn't it?
Well I hope at the minimum save jude every time lmfaoo
