Anyone able to help me install the game? I don't have a download option after clicking install - it's sadly blank. Looks interesting and would love to play!
I love the idea that you're playing a very healthy guy in this world. There's only a couple scenes that require low sanity, most have minor alterations based on sanity. An easy way to reduce your sanity is to just keep sleeping.
Hey, sorry to hear you're encountering errors. I'll dedicate some time to finding and fixing them. If you're able, could you dm me with details about where you're encountering these exceptions.
I really liked the unique atmosphere of this visual novel, and I am totally intrigued at seeing a scenario that uses a more lovecraftian story.
My main trouble so far is I was totally confused with what I was meant to be doing. Who I was supposed to be talking to in order to advance the plot in the beginning etc.
So maybe have an in game quest book, or hint page would be really helpful.
Thank you for your kind words and feedback, it's greatly appreciated.
I agree.
The game certainly feel very aimless currently. I have considered a quest book like addition but always come back to my dislike for immersion breaking systems.
My currently planned solution to this is a combination of assistance from the doll, some sort of hint page provided by the doll that is always accessible in the top right of the screen, and a more organic asking for advice system. I.e. asking the ambient characters how they think you should be spending your time.
For example, Freya may suggest that she is free to hang out in the evening or that spending some time at the library during the day may be a good option.
Thank you again for your feedback and I hope you will be able to see it come to fruition in time.
Thank you, Astelius, for taking the trouble to respond it is appreciated.
I totally understand what you mean about disliking immersion breaking. So those potential ideas you are thinking about implementing make sense. I particularly like the ambient characters idea since it would make sense with the MC living with their dear friend. She already as the option to make them coffee each morning maybe that could be worked into a hint system? Particularly if the player (like me) forgets what they are supposed to be doing.
One thing that occurred to me whilst reading is that the MC already has meds, and feels like they are struggling with mental health (Or struggling with the hidden reality). So something else that could easily fit would clickable diary on their bed; something as part of a scene rather than a separate system. I was just thinking that people struggling with mental health are very often told to keep diaries by doctors as a way to help keep things grounded. Something where the MC goes 'oh yeah, I got to remember I need to X or Y'
Anyway, really looking forward to wherever you take the story and enjoying the fact that you are making something a bit different in terms of setting and style.
If you click the red download now button, pass the donation pop-up, there should be two files available to download. One for PC, the other for Mac. Download the appropriate file, extract it to the desired location and then run the exe file.
I'd like to help you if I can, at what step are you receiving the no available files to download message?

Im running into a lot of Exception errors and stuff randomly in the latest public release build and also the patreon build, is anyone else?

Check if you missed some semicolons
Glad to see you are back, loved the new update, can't wait to see more
I like the game so far but I feel like I am doing something wrong because I keep getting the same scenes.
You probably aren't doing anything wrong. A lot of the time slots are currently filled with repeatable scenes that just affect your sanity level.
One of the more easy to miss sections would be the library archives, which only open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from the library atrium.
Other than that, a couple scenes are locked behind your prologue choices.
It's becoming clear to me how important a scene finding system is. I'll make that the priority after I finish what is currently planned for build 0.5.
Thanks for playing and for your feedback.
is the sanity level a passive effect
The animation with the doll, is that something you made yourself?
It looks really good! Are there others like it in the game?
I tried playing this game awhile back, but was off-put by the default Koikatsu sex animation at the beginning.
Thanks! I did make that animation myself.
It is one of about three custom animations in the game currently but I'd say its the only one that came out as good as this one did.
I'm currently working on build 0.5 which will contain another custom animation.
Thanks for giving the game another go!

Thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look now.
The files appear to be present for me.
