hey, mega is asking for decryption key and i couldnt find it anywhere in this page, may i get help?

The links we posted on Mega shouldn't require a key. Is it one of our links or from a different upload site?

Hey, will the game length change? Honestly, only 90–100 minutes of playtime is too low for me.

(+1)

Yes but it's really hard to estimate how much. The way we estimate play time is by taking the average reading speed (238 wpm) and just dividing the number of words in the script. It's not a perfect way to measure since it doesn't include time spent watching scenes or animations without dialogue but it should be a good ballpark number. Final script will probably be at least 75,000 words or 315+ mins but honestly I have no idea.

Gotcha, I'm really hoping for you to add more to the story because it seems interesting. 315+minutes is a good length. Well, thanks for responding and have a good day! 

This seems like a great game but I'm just curious where the game password and codes what are those because there's an option to put them in but I don't where are they

Password is 'RIPHARAMBE' and unlocks all of the scenes in the replay gallery

Journal in the gallery is going to have one. For now though prologue branches into 5 paths depending on who you go to the festival with then rejoins at the end of act-1.

is this game have any scene sounds ?

(+1)

Just music and environmental sound effects. We probably won't be able to add voice acting or h-scene sound effects.

aghhh man, okay i see

(+1)

That's a cryin' shame!

Hello! if i buy it now do i have to pay for future updates? i know some WIP  games you pay by chapter/release and some you dont so i was just wondering 

(+11)

Buying it once as early access gets you the whole game when it's finished. We're not splitting it into different chapters or anything.

Basic roadmap is:
v0.01-v0.10 | Prologue (Free Demo)
v0.11-v0.15 | Main Story Updates
v0.16+ | Romance Routes

(+2)

love the hand drawn art and if its buy once get all updates I'll gladly support

(+7)(-6)

is there pregnancy content?

(1 edit) (+2)

Right now there's a static impregnation scene in the beginning and pregnant character sprites with multiple stages are viewable in the gallery, but the LI paths won't have pregnancy until mid to late game.

Will there be an update this year?

(+18)

We have one scheduled for tomorrow, then the next one scheduled for the year 2056

(+11)

I'd wait a bit longer than 2056, don't risk releasing it at the same time as the elder scrolls 6

(+1)

Agreed, i think in the middle of one piece, aka years 2170 would do wonders

(+2)

Will it be possible to have multiple lovers like many other games on itch, or are you going for a more personal, traditional style of romance?

Either way is fine, I'm just curious having finally tried the game out. I must say, I'm already looking forward to what comes next! (Also love the wording for the end of version message :P )

(+5)

We're planning a harem ending but the true ending will be one of the 1 on 1 romance paths.

(+2)

That's good, it's refreshing to see something more traditional. I think I know who most of the player will go with for the first time though...

The mega links here on Itch.io and posted on our Patreon page are our official upload links and should be safe.

Is this game still ongoing?

(+1)

Yes, next release is a large one and should be done in about 1-2 months

Quick question, I saw there was a m x m option in the menu, is that content for Biorn or is it content for npcs or both? 

(+4)

It will be both, but the first MxM scene between the MC & Rithe is planned for version 0.1

So is this going to be a Harem game were you have have all the lovers, or will you isolate various characters by picking others?

(+3)

There will be individual story endings for each character plus a harem ending depending on your choices in the main story arc of the game.  The harem ending will make more sense when we move past the prologue.

(+10)

This game is way to short to be rated by now, but the artwork is amazing and very very unique. 

I already felt in love with some of the characters and I'm totally happy that there is an optionsmenu in which I can toggle things. (for example: male on male is a cool thing to watch, even as a lesbian like me)

I'm totally looking forward to what comes next. Especially after the content right now falls a bit short. ^^

Hey :) can you publish the original stamp-like game icon somewhere with good quality, please? It's for a virtual library thing I do (png is perfect)

Edit: forgot to say what you do is amazing, thx for the game

(+8)

Here you go dude, thanks for the feedback on the game

(+3)

Awesome! Thank you so much ^.^

(+5)(-3)

is there male on male

(+5)(-1)

It's planned and can be toggled in the options menu along with all other optional content.  Rithe will be one of the romanceable male characters along with others that will be introduced after the prologue.  

(+1)(-1)

is there any mxm available in the game right now?

(+2)

Not yet, it's planned for version 0.10

So the android version is really buggy and does not run properly it keeps shutting down

If you're using a save file from a previous version it'll definitely crash, I'm changing how the variables and sprites are handled so it probably won't start working with old saves until version 0.10.  Let me know if that fixes it, otherwise I'll take a look into it.

Not using old saves first time playing the game just seems to crash after saving and loading and when you get to the stream at the very start of the game 

What hardware are you using?  I haven't heard of any other issues yet so I'm betting it's a performance thing.  The game loads in a bunch of huge 1080p png files all at once especially at that first creek screen when I animate the sprites, and tbh I wasn't sure if a phone would be able to handle it.  If that's the case though I'll add some performance settings over the next few versions.

I'm using an oppo 2z

I spent some time looking into it today and there's a good chance optimization could be causing the issue.  If I'm right it'll be fixed in version 0.08.

(+3)

I see potential in this game, what you did is good, keep up the good work,  I am impressed at your awesome game.

what fetishes are included?

(+4)

Two chicks at the same time, man

Excellent beginning. I love the art. Worth watching to see where this goes.

One note: Eryn calls me Biorn the first time she uses my name, but the second time she used my chosen one instead.
