Hi Zilli!
I am so so sorry for this mix up - but it appears I made a typo on the main page - 29.10.221 is the latest version! If you can play the Halloween Special in the Extras menu, then you are up to date! (I have now fixed the main page with correct version number)
Again, I am so sorry for my error and hope I haven't caused you too much trouble!

I love 'groundhog day / time loop' types of games, and this one was amazing. I've never played a game centered around metaphysics and quantum physics before, but 'Quantum Suicide' managed to intertwine themes of philosophy without taking away from the characters and storyline. I earned all the CGs and experienced all of the endings, and it was worth the hours.
Hi Marquis!
I do have aPatreon (that I only just recently started) if you would like to check it out :) I have a few things in the works at the moment~ I do also plan to use Kickstarter again in future, once I have everything ready and set up for at least one of my future projects.
Thank you again for playing and enjoying Quantum Suicide :D

P.S - If you enjoy merchandise, I am working on an online store via mywebsite that I will launch once all the Kickstarter backer physical rewards are sent out :D
Hi Jdogz :)
To get the MAC version to work (I am not sure if this is what you are doing, so tell me if this isn't working)
- Download the demo
- Unzip the demo (if you don't unzip it first, it will crash when trying to boot)
- Then open the file called: QuantumSuicide.app
Hopefully this should work! Please let me know if it doesn't and I will try to get someone to test - I don't own a MAC :(

Thanks for the reply!
I'm unzipping the demo like you said and opening this file:
After that I get a message saying the file can't be opened because the developer cannot be verified (which is normal and happens for anything I download on itch.io), I go to my settings to bypass this message, then when I try to open the file again it just crashes after a few seconds.
Let me know if there's something I'm doing wrong - I'm on OS Catalina by the way.
Hi HellWimp!
Thanks for your question :)
Technically, there is two true endings - one for the male route and one for the female route that are both (in a way) intertwined (and the way the game is designed, you will need to experience the game as both to achieve). Both these endings will result in the same true ending achievements and credit unlocks regardless of whether you are a boy or girl.
Because the true routes almost need each other, I would argue that neither male or female route is default as the game was created from day one to encompass both in meaningful ways :)
I hope this helps!

P.S - an update is coming soon that will add a small amount of content to all romantic endings and true endings! :D So hopefully, they will be even better!
Hi Emi!
It doesn't come with a Steam key - and I am sorry that it isn't extracting for you! This being said, if you want to email me proof you have bought the game on Itch (cottoncandycyanide(at)gmail.com), I will send you a Steam key! :) You shouldn't have to buy the game twice when one isn't working~ (also, if you could send a screenshot of what is happening when trying to extract so I can try to troubleshoot for future players, I would super appreciate that too! :D)
<3 MoltenCherry
Hi Ghost Clown!
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
After some feedback, I will be adding some more content to the romantic endings to give a better glimpse into the future :) These should be put in in November~ When I add these, simply start from the timeline to see the extended endings (If you want to!)

Hi Brookdortz!
I am just working that out at the moment - but it doesn't look good ><'. It will take me about 6 months to make it work on Vita and would appear at best to get about 150-200 people to play~ Soooooo, maybe I will make for Switch and PS4 instead ><' Sorry if this disappoints! I am still not at a stage in which I get paid, so it's hard to put in the hours on top of other work I do to pay the bills :D
Hope you understand! :(

Hey! I'm currently playing the game and am loving it so far (Katashi is the love of my life)! I'll make sure to leave a review once I am further into the game. While I've been playing I've been screenshotting some bugs I've noticed, nothing major just small little things. I was wondering if you would like to know of these bugs, and if so what the easiest way would be of getting them to you?
Keep up the awesome work man! I can't believe you are patching every week or so, that is some serious dedication. Make sure to take care of yourself and don't let the negative comments get you down, the fact this game exists is a phenomenal achievement (also it is very, very fun)!
Best of luck!

Hey Booker!
Thanks for the comment and the ongoing support <3
If you have any bugs or weird happenings you have noticed (and am willing to spend the time), please email me your screenshots and explanations (in case it isn't clear) and I will do my best to get on top of them! After all, everyone would prefer a better polished game :D
You can send me the screenshots here:
cottoncandycyanide(at)gmail.com
The next patch/update should be live later today! :D
Thank you again for your kind words! It is very easy to let the negative get on top of you so I appreciate you taking the time to be so kind~
<3MoltenCherry
Awesome! I'll make sure to do that after I check which bugs have been fixed through this update (it seems like a couple from what the update log stated!). But I've updated the game on Steam and received this at start up
And here is the traceback log
I can get the game working by selecting the boxes below the DirectX, but this seems to also revert it back to it's previous version, not sure though? Unsure what's causing this but thought you'd like to know!

I've got the extra save files, hazzah! Everything seems to be working perfectly, I also adore all the new sound effects. Currently 14 hours in and I'm absolutely in love! I even streamed it on discord with a friend while they were downloading their own copy, he was making fun of me for being so stressed at all the decision points because I was trying so hard to make sure Katashi didn't die. But It seems like his feeling the stress playing it himself, so fairs fair. I've also roped a couple other friends into buying the game as well, so woohoo! Also super hyped for the revamped romance endings, you just keep out doing yourself ever update, I swear.
Sorry for the long rambly reply, just really excited about this game right now! I once again wish you the best of luck and hope you are doing well! I had the honour of meeting you at PAX Aus last year and you were super lovely, so I will do my best to return the favour.
Great work!

Hi Exiisable!!
Thank you so much for your review! (Also, I am incredibly curious as to what happened last time your reviewed on Steam! If this review was a demo, I just bought your game to find out more :P)
I am glad you enjoyed all of the characters and your comment on Katashi's death make me laugh a little - He just can't help looking that good, even in death :P
As for your comment on the endings, I agree with you. The endings ended up as the same formula mainly due to a resources issue. The game was out of money shortly after the legal troubles and so I have been funding it with part time jobs and scholarships for almost 2 years - I know this won't make up for it, but I am in the process of creating extended romance endings - similar to the friendship ones - to give you a snippet into the future and hopefully make the endings feel even just a little more fulfilling. These should be patched in in the coming weeks :)
This is the first game I have ever made, and so your feedback, especially on the endings, is super helpful! I hope that with this experience, I can only make better games for you all <3 I hope you look forward to playing them as much as I am to make them!
Other than following me here (to get progress on work and news etc), I also have aTwitter account and have started aPatreon in the last month!
Standby for the extended endings and I hope you enjoy the girls side just as much! (I look forward to your updated review!)

I just played the game and got stuck at the end of Nikolai's route when we must find the code to neutralize DAI. I looked in our community hub and someone said it was "through the harships to the stars". I tried four times with no succes, do I have to go through other routes before trying again ?
Hi Pluie!
I don't want to give any hard spoilers, so I will be saying all this weirdly. . .
To get the password, ideally, you need to find pieces of the code throughout the timelines.
This being said - what you have attempted to use as a password is wrong, but not suuuuper wrong.
Once you have the password correct, it will work on every timeline - there is no requirement to clear other timelines (other than to get the clues) - which, if you look up the answer, you can bypass :)
I hope this has helped without ruining anything for you or others!

When I first found out this game I was so happy I found a game that is just a little similiar to my beloved Danganronpa. And I'm so happy this game finally got its final version!
I must admit that sometimes change in sprite "drawing style" bothers me - some sprites look more qualitative than the others. But it's probably because I'm a perfectionist, so it's nothing that big. Especially when I like both "drawing styles" (I don't know how should I name it).
The only real complain I have is that I cannot pick the English dub in the settings. I certainly can pick the dialogue language, but it's not possible to change voice acting to English. Fortunately, I was going to play the game in this way (with Japanese voice acting, that is) but I would like to play it with English dub, too.
Also, I wanted to add I really love this reference to Danganronpa. Seeing it is like honey in my DR-lover heart.
Oh, and by the way - I remember I saw a version of this game called a "Everett's Christmas" (or something like that) on this site before. Does the fact that it's not here to download anymore mean it will be no longer available to play or do you maybe plan to make it a DLC or something like that? I wanted to play that version, but I promised to myself that I will do it only after beating the full game. It would be a pity if it was gone forever.
Hi RainbowCarp!
Thanks for your message and your appreciation for the Danganronpa- homage :P
As for the VA not changing - Is this what isn't working? (See video of me changing the VA - this video is a recording of the itch.io client version!)
(Ignore the terrible screen - I just opened OBS quickly to record this so I can troubleshoot your problem~)
Please let me know so I can try to fix asap for you :)
As for Christmas Everett - I maaaaaaaaybe cleaning it up with plans for a re-release as an inclusion later in the year :P So please don't fret too much :D

Okay!
Just checked Steam version and it also appears to be working - however - there has been more than one patch on Steam. So if it isn't too much trouble, could you please sign out of Steam and back in? For some reason, QS doesn't auto update for some people - hopefully when you log back in you will have a patch to download and it will fix it :)
Please let me know how it goes!
So... I don't really know where to put this, but-
Despite not lying to Sora+Vlad, when I get to the first Deletion Game choice, when choosing acertain option, the game behaves as if I had lied, and the only other options are to come clean or keep lying. I bought the game here, so maybe this bug was fixed in the steam version, but wasn't for the itch version?
Argh! Thank you for this report!
I have attempted to fix it now twice, and it works on my end, and for some reason no matter what I am doing, it still bugs out when others play! I will take this and attempt for a third time to get this achievement working for the next coming patch :)
Thank you so much for taking the time xeb to let me know about this! This bug haunts my dreams :P

Mh...,
I'm very much aware that this is just me being weak, but... I don't have the time for a ton of replays on my hands anymore. So I kept save games (about 1h of playtime's worth, roughly), but somehow I maneuvered myself into a bad end I couldn't get out of by loading them. Guess I got rid of the wrong persons in the first two rounds (though I managed to pick them just as I intended to).
Too bad there aren't more save game slots (pages? where are they?)...
Even googling "that code" didn't work for me. Lower case still didn't. Guess I'm not qualified at that point in the VN.
So I fear I'm out. I understand failing might just be an intended part of the experience, but this isn't FTL or Into the Breach, so I'd need to invest too much time. Heck, if even cheating can't get me there, then what? ;) Too frustrating to keep going.
Seems I'm the kinetic novel kind of person, branching ones just don't suit me...
Just wanted to play once and get some nice Yuri ending despite the horror. Guess that didn't work out for me. :( Picked the wrong VN. My fault, naturally, so future playreaders, take this (negative) comment of mine with a grain of salt. This VN might still be for you. Just isn't for me.
PS.: Don't hate me! It's just: I came here for Yuri, and left because of the pain. ;)
Hey Thrawn!
Thanks for your comment and I'm sorry it wasn't for you :( The game does ask for a fair amount of your time and does have many bad endings for you to accidentally end up on T.T
I only included 6 slave slots because of the inclusion of a time line function, but I hear you!! I will work on adding more save slots today and patch it in within the week! So thank you for that! So even if you won't use them, know your input has made future players experience better :D
Again, I am sorry it wasn't for you, but reaaaaly appreciate you giving it a shot!
