Heya, I've just started playing the game and it's honestly looking really great so far. I do have one question that I can't seem to find specific info on in the comments or in game. I've been wondering how old all the true wyvarians are? If it's meant to be a reveal later on or spoilers than I can completely understand.
We wanted to hide the exact age of all the villagers until the end, but you can assume the dateables are about 20-40 ish (I don't think I need to specify who the oldest one is). This is mostly so we can be sure of the timeline of events since we are also working on backstories and info about them in the background.
True Wyverians, in general, do age slightly longer than humans, up to 150 years. The explanation can be found in the logbook which you can check it out anytime.
Hello, I'm unable to launch the game. When I click on the .exe file, a text document pops up, which contains the following content:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

This seems to be an error relating to permissions on your computer, as this does not seem to be a common bug. I do have a few suggestions after a quick search; however, I am unsure exactly how to fix this until I recreate it.
- Run the game via administrator
- Move the location of the game to another folder where you have full access to
- Redownload the game to a different folder as it might have corrupted files (A bit unlikely since it's zipped, but may work)
As far as I know, I know that there are three bad endings you could get (there might be more). You would be on the right track on your route if you saw "To Be Continued," at the very end, but otherwise...
Spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk.
1st Bad Ending (Days 4-7)
You do not spend at least three days with the villager of your choice.
2nd Bad Ending (Day 14)
You have one of the felynes stay behind instead of yourself.
3rd Bad Ending (Day 17)
You make too many mistakes in the trial.
A bad ending would be signified by a wall of text against a black background. Not to mention that the overall tone of the text is highly ominous. I should know, since I inadvertently got the second one in a reckless fashion...
I love this story and I laughed when I saw the fact it was a Phoenix Right style in chapter 3, I was not expecting that.
Also, question for everyone, do you ever get that feeling when you already have a love interest you wanna end up with but then after going through another route you fall in love with an character that you start to question which one you wanna have as your canon lover? ...Cuz I am...with Jin and Runan
I can't really blame you for feeling that way. I mean, all six of 'em are very much admirable in their own ways. Their personalities make them so charming (Leo might need some getting used to, though)!
If you ask me? I really like (or love) all six of them! They're all so precious, and I would do anything to make them happy!
I really hope I can invite them out later on in the future...
This was a very interesting story. However, the author's lack of understanding of legal trials made the second half really tough to slog through. For instance, in Japanese and Western-style courts (which this seems to be mimicking, in homage to Ace Attorney), the burden of proof is always on the prosecution. You also cannot hold a population responsible for the actions of a single member and enact group punishment; this is literally a war crime. It's also a serious crime to withhold evidence from the defense. The defense is also entitled to voir dire any perspective witnesses ahead of time, and both sides are required to provide a list of all witnesses. If this was not attempting to mimic Ace Attorney, these nitpicks would not matter much. I would urge the author to consult someone with more knowledge of legal trials in any future revisions.
The following is a response to above, mostly explain intentions and our thought process since we have thought about this before writing. It is... rather long since we just want to be clear and firm. Apologies if I overexplain myself:
While I appreciate the critique about the legal proceedings in chapter 3, I would like to say the entire event is just a more dramatic way to explain a rather tense situation. It is not meant to mimic any official legalities of real-life law, especially since the game does not have the same rules that govern us (to an extent as some of the parts I added in writing are non-canon to the source material).
While yes, it is supposed to be a reference to AA gameplay and art-wise, it is just only that. A massive reference. I wrote this in a sense to answer a question I had while brainstorming a year ago: "How would a trial work if it is not official, yet handled by officials?" to which I ignored all presumptions of rules that usually prolong stories like these and made it so that each character is doing this just because of emotion and pride especially since the parties involved are nowhere near the profession that they are supposed to mimic. This is the equivalent of a veteran, a police man, and a private investigator making their own courtroom. Because of that, I may not change the process and proceeding if I am to edit this section. I may clarify some moments after I get a better idea, but overall, it is not a legal trial because it is not the right people, yet it is a reasonable action at the time and conflict if we consider the setting.
Ace Attorney, which does have the same governed rules as us, means that they have to follow the law that is the same as ours. Preparing witnesses and evidence and exchanging info are mainly required and, most of all, legal. However, other than preparing evidence, it is not a luxury everyone is allowed in the situation I made. While, yes, legalities are essential as a reference, so are the setting and the situation in which I placed them. Which to be fair, the Scriviner did say later on that "this is not a real trial" since the intention is not to incriminate them but rather knowing what actually happened.
I want to explain myself on this as I expected; specifically, some would critique the Chapter 3 event as not being "correct" to real-life law, which is my intention. I wouldn't say I like it being too close to reality. If I am to mimic it and do actual research, this entire update will take many months to be accurate(as I do not have any friends in the legal business, especially the... niche of the situation.), and I do not want to force our readers to go through several unnecessary steps to explain and wait especially since the wait for this update was already too long. That, and I mostly just wanted to surprise people. Besides, that entire event is just 10-20% of the game, so it is not a focus to be so accurate as everyone is already screaming at me for monster seggs.
Hope this helps clear it up!
If you're talking about gameplay, we did add aGuide that is available in our development log. While brute forcing is fine, as this is a visual novel and you can brute force anything there, we didn't want to lower the difficulty as we want it still be somewhat challenging. The flow might be revisited in the future, but that still mostly will be better explanations and maybe more hints if we are to add new content (Which to be fair, if you do question a certain line, it will show a hint so we thought it would be enough).
Maybe also because we are not really the best English speakers/writers and I genuinely sometimes think I am dyslexic with how I write and talk recently :v
As I said before, I really do like the story. I also really appreciate the artwork. You all did a great job. I look forward to the revisions in the future that improve the game.
One thought I had was a way to use the trust system to double as a sort of resource for hints, if the player needs them. Right now, you only lose trust if you make a wrong guess. Maybe you could also deliberately spend one of your trust points to get a hint. This would maintain the difficulty but allow us to get in-game hints if we need them. It could also serve as a way to get insight into what the main character is thinking at the time, how his mind functions. This might make the gameplay a bit more dynamic, too. Add a bit of a risk vs. reward mechanic.
> Aside from that, when you have a world where the rules are different, it’s important to lay them out ahead of time
No, not really. Majority of readers have enough intelligence to pick up those rules on the fly as they witness them in action firsthand. “Laying rules ahead of time” is called “info-dumping”, and its a narrative tool that is rightfully criticized by both readers and writers alike.
That aside, game never explicitly tells that it try to mimick any sort of court. I’m not sure if you have noticed that or not, but societies in monster hunter universe aren’t exactly modern and progressive, and expecting a civilization that is stuck somewhere in stone age to be up to par to modern law rules is ridiculous.
There are ways to lay out rules and world build without info dumping. Info dumping is just the least talented way to do it. It can be incorporated into the story in ways that make sense and are interesting.
The court scene is mimicking Ace Attorney (which is confined by the author), which takes place in a Japanese court. But there’s more to it than just legal rules. There are many logical inconsistencies. It’s still an overall good story. I look forward to the changes that will come.
my old saves do work for certain routes (with some dialog misplacement, and my old Jo route save basically making me need to replay the whole game just to get to the point I was at in it, as I am doing all the character routes on different saves) but otherwise, the saves in this game are fairly hardy to updates!
Old saves are not compatible with the new update due to updating Renpy versions. Because of this, you would need to start fresh to avoid any bugs.
As for skipping the event, that will be implemented in the next update along with some other changes to music and sprites. However, right now, the event cannot be skipped outside of using the skip button (or pressing shift/ctrl on the keyboard
Your choices before this day matters. When visiting the construction area, be sure to ask on checking out Jin's house. If Jin says "ask Leo" instead of a reincheck, this means you did not hang out with him on prev days or did not choose the right responses. This is already a sign that you are locked out of his route. His route is purposefully made a bit harder to reach because of his mannerisms. Make sure to save often so you can reload if you ever make a mistake.
And in case some wonder, your dateable is not available all the time. Some days your dateable will not be available at all, because they are busy.
Not sure what specific part you're referring to, as the entire event leads up to that (hopefully, based on the decisions you've made), but regardless, the guide will tell you everything you need to know.

Umm... I think there's two things I need to tell you.
First, I'm not the dev, so there's no need to respond to me about continuing the story.
And second, your comment contains enough spoilers to run the entire length of all eight worlds in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I hope you can edit your comment so that no one can see that.
Mí clasificación según con cada personaje sería
1 Koku
2 Joseph
3 Leo
4 Jin
5Redge
6Runan
Es según mí opinión cada uno puede tener su favorito además fue el primer que probé y además termine cada ruta de los personajes hace 5 días unas me conmovieron mucho, otros me hizo llorar.
No puedo esperar por el capítulo 4 y continuar con la historia gracias por traernos este juego 👍 ♥️
Oh my god, this update was fire, I want the next chapter on my table tomorrow. But I know it is tiring to make a masterpiece, so instead I'm gonna ask you guys to rest, for everything you done, hell the vn became ace attorney, so you guys overdid yourselves with this update. Rest cuz afterall:
"Everyone needs time to heal! This includes yourself."
❤️❤️❤️
1 — Ridge (Delinquents with a heart of gold are my jam)
2 — Joseph (I’m into Dilfs)
3 — Jin (He is cutie-patootie)
4 — Leo (Vanilla flirtatious choice)
5 — Koku (A little too naughty sometimes for my liking, at least Leo is sincere about it).
6 — Runan (His tsundere gimmick got gratingly annoying for me real fast)
It should be mentioned that I still like all characters, just not equally.
1st Leo (His “loose cannon” attitude makes him fun imo)
2nd Ridge (Same reasoning as Leo, though a different kind of “loose cannon”)
3rd Jin (He’s precious, what can I say?)
4th Runan (Tsundere gimmick comes off as humorous for me)
5th Joseph (I like his personality with valuing honesty, but he’s not really my type)
6th Koku (Not my type, sorry)
3rd-5th were hard to rank tbh
Whoa there, calm down. I know you're eager for the next chapter, what with the story as it is right now, but the update's only been out for a month. The devs will need some more time before they can release the next one.
I don't know if you've read the devlogs yet, but I think I've heard the devs mention that they're aiming to release the next update before the end of the year (this is purely conjecture, but it could mean some time in December). If that's not to be, then maybe some time in January. Then again, it could take longer, because I'm pretty sure you know how many curveballs daily life likes to throw.
So until then, just be patient, okay? There's no need to pressure them like this...
I remember the devs saying that it's just not feasible right now. I'm pretty sure they've been thinking about it, but I don't think that'll be implemented any time soon.
It might just be me, but I think dating two characters at once would require additional dialogue and significant changes in story direction, and that will take a lot more time than intended.
As ShroudedLion said, we will not be implementing poly relationships mostly because we don't want it to be... "forced". Like how shipping between characters then inserting the Scriviner in that relationship, or vice versa.
Once we get a better idea of polycules, we might implement it, but with our current experience (both irl and in media), we are not ready to even dive into the thought yet.
Especially ships that are a bit more... risque
Spoilers
I have a problem, I took the route of Koku, I had answered all the questions correctly up to a certain point, even with the medical evidence.
But then comes the point where it doesn't go any further, and then I took question five and then I took the bullet as proof and then I took question six, which didn't help either, and then I did the same thing again in reverse.
Then I had a quick look at the guide the developer posted here, right up to this point, only I looked at it and didn't do anything wrong.
This is a bug ? that is triggered by the game and prevents it from continuing.
Spoiler answer:
Also, for anyone, questions regarding the Guide should be in the guide devlog instead to help others too.
I dont think I understood what you meant..... But I understand medical report so I am assuming you're in the second cross... but If you check the guide, the order of actions is important, otherwise it might just be the wrong evidence or line you're reading. (The reason why I didn't specify the line in the guide is to help you connect the dots rather than just breezing through, so it might be confusing on the numbering,)
For the second cross, question the 5th line, and the 6th line would change. Basically adding something new. Then present the evidence on the new info, which is the 6th line after questioning. Remember, if you are stuck, question every line. You will get new info and important hints. There is a hint in every cross that does help you even without checking the guide.
Spoiler.
What I wanted to say is that I haven't used the help yet and I haven't had any problems with it so far, not even with the first cross, and something new has been added, that wasn't a problem.
But with the second cross, as I said, if I then ask the fifth question and then present the bullet as evidence, nothing new comes up and I've already tried everything.
nothing is updated and nothing new comes out of it, not even new dialogues.
And that's what I meant, and then I had a quick look at the help, but only up to the bullet, not everything else, because it really is a great mechanic and I really like it.
Because I don't need any other help, I just had a quick look at the second cross to see why it wasn't working and did what I'd already done without looking.
The only reason I can think of is that I used the save state from chapter 2 and this caused an error.
And I also want to give a big shout out to this VM, the characters are wonderfully written, every single one of them and in general it's a very special VM, which I haven't seen before in any other before one.
Hey there dev/s, just wanted to leave this message because this FVN honestly got me reading Ridge's route for like the 5th time and made an unfinished paper behind his attachment style, I can't get over with this character. The FVN's really good, just know to take as much time that you need to release the next chapter, I can tell the latest update was made with so much love and you guys had fun with that special addition. Keep up the great work.
This guide the devs made will help you not only with that part, but also the whole thing. Hope you get through it!

spoilers?
The last update feels like it’s a canon for Ridge’s route specifically. The way he didn’t want to talk at a testimony at first, suffering from grief while blaming himself, and rejecting scrivener while being not fine feels like something that he specifically would do. Even the poetic irony of him being carved with a hunting knife *again* feels like something that would happen to only him. Having every other love interest adopting similar behavior for a while feels weird and out of character even with such circumstances.
On a side note the way most characters rejected scrivener after elder’s passing felt unnecessarily cruel. This especially goes off Josef.
Spoilers??
"The way most characters rejected scriviner after elder's passing felt unnecessarily cruel."
Hard disagree. If anything, I feel like it's a fairly realistic reaction. Death, especially a traumatic death like this, can take a heavy toll on people. One of the five stages of grief is anger, which can cause a person to act not how they normally would (ex: more hostile) and can even cause said person to push away the other people they care about.
Spoilers???
as someone that has lost a family member. A. I cant stop crying. B all reactions are ones ive seen from my own family (i was Ridge but replace the art with poety). One of the major reason i think they push the mc away is the fact they freeze up, and dont have a visual emotional reaction till they talk at the tree. Plus they are an outsider only there just under 3 weeks. (Just adding to the discussion)
I'm not sure if you know already, but the devs have posted a guide above the comment section for you to get through the whole event. I can't say anything here due to spoilers, but the answers you seek are in the guide.
I'll post it here, just in case: https://rodablackfang.itch.io/monster-village-vn/devlog/799985/chapter-3-guide-s...
The armor will be given later. All items are not locked behind choices, so you will be getting them regardless. Please be sure as well the game is updated and follow the guide i commented below. Oh, sometimes going in blind too helps since looking at the Guide before playing will make you question intentional events, so play forward first.
Also be reminded to add spoiler tags when asking since I will delete comments here that mentions certain events. Repeated offenders will be banned
For those stuck in chapter 3, I made an updated Guide. A reminder as well, spoilers with no tag will be deleted. (Including questions)
https://rodablackfang.itch.io/monster-village-vn/devlog/799985/chapter-3-guide-s...
Please be sure to update your game and use a new save file if the guide doesnt work as your save file might have skipped some coding changes before 0.6.3.1.
