Note: this is a review of the 0.13.0 version so it has likely gotten only better since I downloaded an up to date version!
If you have not played this game yet you need to do so! Though play at least until you reach act 2. Act 1 seemed like it was open world but it is really very linear, however as soon as you reach Act 2 the game opens up and is amazing! I came for the sex, but I stayed for the great stories and characters.
The sex scenes were varied and well done though, especially in act 1, it was somewhat hard to see when I could advance to a new sex act with someone and for a game that lists the times you have had various sex acts with various people not getting to choose really which type of sex act you do except in a very few circumstances was strange. Communicating somehow better that act 1 is linear and you have certain things you need to do in a certain order plot wise before the game opens up would be nice.
Once the game opens up however every system is fun and all the characters are great! Particular stand outs for me were the story with the dream world queen - which was as moving as the best triple AAA game stories really - and the minotaur's story which had a very good shonen anime story vibe (real strength is friendship and heart!) that I enjoyed. The story at the end after you go to your grandfather (which really what a fun way to do a mysterious plot central character) to get leads really picked up and was quite interesting. Emma's story is also interesting and well done and wow WHO DOES HER SINGING? and WHERE CAN I BUY HER SONGS? Seriously. This was almost as good as the karaoke songs in the Yakuza franchise. Get this individual a recording contract!
The way I judge non-plot critical story elements of a game is if I do them and enjoy them as much as the story relevant material, and all of it here I did. The school section was brilliant taking over the school and finding out about those characters and turning them into my personal harem was quite fun. I expect it might be for legal reasons the school was called a college because it looked more like a highschool - I would be fine with calling it a highschool.
Having children with all the women in my harem and then going to play with them at the farm was brilliant! Completely non plot relevant but great fun! I loved especially the tea party group play. Annie is an amazingly cute character and I delayed plot at some points to make sure I had found all the randomish events with her. On a "dark" run (which really doesn't seem to be as possible as the game description makes it seem) I would love the ability to awaken her a bit ...
Every game has flaws of course - it was unclear to me how the quirk system worked. I opened up some during play, but it was unclear which ones could be unlocked and which ones couldn't yet and if unlocking them had any story/game play mechanics. The girl who you can turn Yandre certainly had some interesting interactions and did make me feel like well she could actually kill me here - but she never really did and I fucked every woman in the game and had children with all of them but her. The exploration sections are also somewhat frustrating as I can never be sure when I have found everything. I think I did as it stopped giving me things I hadn't seen before. Maybe add a map to the crystal store for these areas? The only way really to get crystals also seemed to be from the random tasks from the mysterious merchant (an incredibly entertainingly written character) and the eldritch potions seemed to not do anything. I also had three costumes left to unlock (one for Gwen and two for Jessica) that I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get.
Overall this is a very impressive game that I will definitely be following and likely throwing some money at soon!
Couple questions (1) I have a six paragraph review that I just sent using the review system here. Should I post the review in the comment section here? Where can I post it to promote the game because wow do I want to promote this game! (2) Game is long don't really want to start over every week when something new is added. Are saves compatible between versions and do I just need to move save files out of the folder when I change versions and then replace them back once the update is complete?
Thanks!
Wow, a six-paragraph review? Thanks for taking the time to write out something that long! As to your questions:
1. You can post it here in the comments for sure, if you want to. As for advertising the game, honestly there isn't a great "marketing hub" for this kind of thing, but just spread the word if you can! I appreciate it :)
2. All saves are compatible between versions, and the game will automatically detect and transfer them over for you. You don't need to do a thing - just download the update and play! :)
Hope that answers your questions!
You need to progress Roxy's story until you get asked to check the town.
If you explore in the town you might stumble upon a burning building, if you have the power to not get burned, check the second floor, then the first.
After finishing that part of the story you can return to the not-longer-burning building for two extra events.
There you'll find her.
Hello,
First of all, just wanted to say I went into this not really expecting a whole lot besides some T&A but you've crafted a great story as well as appealing characters. Impressive work, especially for a project you're doing solo.
Secondly, just wondering how to raise my Magical stat? I have to find the goblin witch's hat to progress with Chloe and I can't seem to figure out how to do that.
Oh well, you need to explore in the outskirts to find the witch.
You can of course try to decode the directions (or find them on a random event there)
But if you don't feel like doing that, it's North > West > South
She will tell you where to go later, and once you get an item check it on your inventory.
Then you will have a new icon in the map, you can proceed from there.
Oh yeah, after you get some training in you should check Chloe's room in the morning.
Yes. Arc has yet to implement it for some girls.
The ones you can get preggers are.
Kana, Pixie, Lily, Jessica, Madison, Veronica, Annie, Asteria, Emma and Luna.
And there's some conditions to trigger pregnancy with those girls.
The "(You feel like something is preventing (???) from getting pregnant!)" message appens because of a multitude of reasons.
* She doesn't love you enough (has to be at love 4)
* She's already pregnant (wait a week)
* She has a kid in the daycare (can't have more than one)
* You have not been to the nexus (tutorial girl hasn't told you the rules)
(I am from China and I wrote these words using google translate and made some changes, hope these words convey my meaning correctly)
First of all, thank you for taking the time to bring you such a great game. In particular, this game is entirely built on the love and expectations of its creators rather than a formulaic product from some big studio.
This game also gave a lot of shock and inspiration. When I started playing I had no idea what I was going to be playing, but after my full experience, I found it to be a total feast. I was shocked that the content of this game is far richer than I imagined, from the detailed character plot to the art design of huge scenes and characters, they fully reflect the intention of the author of this game and the efforts of the author.
My take on it is that it's a REAL fantasy.
At the same time, you made me realize that hope and will are the biggest motivations for things to happen, and I have deep respect for you.
I hope that with your hard work, this game can go to the day it is officially sold, but I still feel a little reluctant in my heart.I've always felt that the best times are when people are looking forward to the game being made, like we're now waiting for the game to get better, and you're communicating with us and relentlessly fleshing it out.
But isn't it more important to look forward to the birth of great achievements?
lol that's also exciting.
So what I'm trying to say is that now everyone thinks it's progressing for the better, and you've been on the right track, and I think so too. Hopefully this game has a brighter future, and you're unwavering in what you do.
I think I will recommend this game to everyone and will support and experience it for a long time.
Respect and blessings to you.
Uhm, I'm currently experiencing problems. I mean, I've been experiencing some bugs. In the main menu where we can choose the extras and replay the scenes, there have been some problem in that section. The replays were locked. (some cases, characters too) Like that scene when me, gwen, and chloe had intercourse in the lab. It became locked in the extras when it should be unlocked because I already passed that event, yes, I'm already in the act2 yet I can't replay them. Of course, I don't wanna start at the very beginning just to rewind some scenes. About those 2 girls in the dojo, I already did intercourse with them. Are they part of the side characters? If yes, then I'm experiencing a bug, 'cause none of the characters in the side characters section are unlocked. I hope you can fix this in future updates! Just don't overdo the work, it may be bad for your health. Anyways, I'm enjoying it!!
The system for the gallery unlocks isn't perfect.
Sometimes it fails.
I mean, for once, it isn't really stored on a per-save basis. It's instead saved on a persistent file that keeps data that carries over all saves, like the settings.
Either way, like Micka mentioned, you can just go to the laptop and use the gallery unlock cheat.
This game is great! I've been looking for good quality games that can run smoothly in android, but I cannot. I mean, It's hard to find one, but I saw this one and tried. Despite of having many animations, it run quite smooth in my android and it's not even crashing! (Because I downloaded many games like this but they keep crashing, perhaps, my phone can't handle them, but glad my phone managed to handle this one). Please, continue this and make more updates, I cannot support you with money because I'm still a teen and don't have a work, but, yes, I'll wish for your good health to continue this masterpiece!
Thank you very much for the compliment and the kind wishes! I'm glad you're enjoying the game (and can actually play it!) and I hope you enjoy everything I have planned for the future, too!
And don't worry about not being able to support me with money - I'm just happy that people play and enjoy my game :)
I have a question for you TheArcadean… how long would you estimate until you have all the storylines for this game finished? Not including any bugs, or artwork touch-ups, just the actual story and the stories for the girls finished.
P.S. I don’t offer this a lot, but as an English and Writing major, let me know if you’d ever like any help proofreading/correcting any errors with sentences. I have enough free time on my hands to play these games, and yours is good enough that if I can assist in making it perfect, I’d like to. Or any help really, anything would feel more productive with my time than the other things I do. Plus this game is so good that it has lowered my standards for other games… lmao
sorry to hear that bro, just change the option in your ”Preferences” tab (after you right click) to ”Skip: Unseen Text”, and also there is luckily a (TEMPORARY) cheat option for any resources you’d need (for both Human and Fey), so it’s not really “grinding,” it’s really just getting through all the text and grinding-esque scenes ;)
.Don't know about Scarlet Law, but there's a chance that it's the same music.
Indie devs can't really afford to compose their own music, so they use royalty free stuff.
Big chance you hear some of the songs here somewhere else.
I mean, I heard the "sex music" in a local burger king ad.
And the "farm music" in a health insurance ad.
Either way, the prologue music when you get to the flat is Memories byBenjamin Tissot.
Played for the porn, stayed for the story. I shit you not, this game has an amazing story. Hell I'm just at Act 2 and it moved me. Now.... How to tell others about this great storyline within a game, without saying its also a porn game.... well my name will prob give me away to those who find this game.... but hey, its human nature to pleasure oneself
edit: how could it have a.... well just, like damn....
what the hell? im almost crying now... To the team who made this; Bravo. You all have a bright future in visual novels..... and if you are a single person, creator... You are a fucking legend man. I want to share this game with others, but most of my outlets I'm followed by family and whatnot, so.... yeah, im in a tough spot. Keep up the good work
Yes, but sadly due to the nature of the game, it's not really a priority.
I mean, even the pregnancy system as a whole is entirely optional.
I'unno, maybe if we rile up enough people he might add some more stuff.
But like I said, not really a priority.
People are already riled up about other types of content.
What Cursed said, basically - since the pregnancy system can be turned off in preferences (and a lot of people do turn it off) I can't dedicatetoo much time to it. That being said, I enjoy writing wholesome scenes more than any other so it doesn't take a lot of convincing to make me do more of it ;)
Heya, sorry, I don't know if this is an acceptable place to leave bug reports, or if you'd prefer elsewhere, but I have run into a bit of a progression blocker. I can't progress with Emma, Morgana, Pixie, Lyx, or any story that requires anything to happen in Morgana's area, since the prompt to leave it has stopped coming up and any time I enter I'm trapped unless I rollback to a save before I went in.
I only started playing today, but I'm really loving it so far! Some of the scenes and writing I feel almost should be in something more widespread than an adult VN - without wanting to spoil too much for anyone not there yet, I'll just say that the scene in which Lily breaks her bat was a particular standout highlight, keep up the fantastic work!
You would get a quicker response on the discord server.
That was a bug on the 0.13.3 version for supporters which was promptly patched for the public release on here.
Did you get a leaked version?
Please, try to only get the game from official sources.
Not for any anti-piracy bullshit, but because Arc isn't really responsible for the uploads on sites aside from Patreon, Subscribestar or itch.io
They might leak a buggy version of the game and then not even bother uploading the patched version.
So the solution would be to download 0.13.3a from official sources, or better yet, wait for the 0.13.4 release this in two days (thursday)
I was unaware of any leaked version, but that does make sense considering I did discover it from a different site.
I'll be sure to stick to here in future, now I know of this page. Like I said, I'm hooked, so I'll be aiming to support properly as soon as I can.
Completely random side note: I've been having trouble finding how to have a custom avatar and I notice you have one, I had assumed it was a creator only type thing, am I mistaken?
Not really.
The game doesn't branch that much. Currently there's no content that makes a difference if you were "good" or "bad", there might be some in the future but it will probably be kept to a minimum.
Arc doesn't seem to like branching too much.
Even less forcing players to replay the game to see content they missed.
Hey, thanks for the kind words - and for considering supporting the game! I really appreciate it :)
As Cursed said, there's no downside to using the dungeon. As a solo dev, going for a true branching narrative is more or less impossible so I tend to stick to "self-contained" choices (with things like "Kind" and "Cruel" options opening up different events later on). Also, yes, I hate when games force you to replay the entire game just to see a handful of scenes you missed because you were on a different "path" :P
I honestly wasn't expecting to get so engrossed in the story when I first downloaded this. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, however, I'm loving it. That said, brainwashing someone so they'll fuck you and be your slave is pretty fucked up. Morality aside, this game is awesome. The fact it's still in Alpha is even more impressive.
Hey, thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the game :) And yes, I actually agree with you that it's a messed-up thing to do. The MC is deliberately portrayed as - atbest - morally grey, and Chloe and Gwen's storylines are going to delve pretty deeply into what you did to them and if you can - or should, orwill - give them back their free will.
That being said, of course, it's supposed to be afun game so don't expect too much monologuing or hand-wringing on the subject ;)
I really love this game, but when an update came how do i update it? im kinda concerned on losing my Progress, does it update like the other games on playstore?
also theres a problem on andoid version, when you closed the app in backround apps it will play any music thats in the game you have to reopen it and close it again in backround app
This game is sideloaded, can't have games like this on the playstore.
So to update you download the apk and install it on top of the old one.
Also make sure to have enough free space, because Android being weird it always asks for 3-4GB in free space, sometimes more.
Can't find a way to replicate the background issue.
I go back and forth on Asteria's eyes. Sometimes they're below her hair and sometimes they're above. The issue is that the facial expressions on KK (the software I use) are limited and are mostly done through the eyes/eyebrows. So when I hide Asteria's eyes completely it becomes impossible to get a "read" on her from most angles. And she'ssupposed to be a very expressive personality.
In short - eyes above hair: distractingly out of place. Eyes below hair: Asteria becomes functionally expressionless. Toss a coin! (To your Witcher)
(SORRY BAD EGNLISH)
Just tar playing but have a question, why do you call the game an Alpha? i understan that alphas are normaly only for internal company use and not for the public , and are normaly use for mechanical testing and are call normalie 0.0.X , your actual build is more like a Beta (Conciderign that is public ) (And yes some companis put "Alpha" in the games , but thats a publicity stun )
It may be different in your country, but in the west "Alpha" is used to describe software that is not feature-complete and is usually unstable and a long way from completion. It is often released to testers/early access adopters in order to gain feedback for the ongoing development of the game. Alpha software can change drastically between alpha and gold releases.
Beta software, on the other hand, is usually used to describe software that it feature-complete and almost ready for release. Beta software's functions/mechanics/etc. are all locked in and the only things that will change between beta and gold release are balancing changes and bug fixes.
Companies putting "beta" on their games is actually the publicity stunt in most cases these days. They'll either release an incomplete game for full price and then claim "oh, but it's beta" or else they'll release a "beta" two days before the gold release (in which case it's not a beta, it's a demo).
Hope that answers your question :)
Depends on how many upgrades you have, and to what level you're going.
For starters, the education levels go every 10 points:
VERY LOW(10 and under)
PRETTY LOW(from 10 to 19)
DECENT(from 20 to 29)
PRETTY GOOD(from 30 to 39)
GOOD(from 40 to 49)
GREAT(from 50 to 59)
INCREDIBLE(from 60 to NICE)
THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY(70 and over)
Hidden voices? Do they like occur randomly or you have to trigger something? This is my first time updating the game so hope my saves actually save lol... Also, I is there some way I can help in the game like look for typos and stuff? I don't have a pc to actually do any difference but I want to help using my phone... If only I had money to donate :(
1. Hidden Voices is a Power you learn from Lyx
2. Your saves will automatically transfer between versions (just make sure you don't delete the game if you're on Android!)
3. Sure, typo and bug reports are always useful! I'm most active on Discord, so posting in the CK server's #bug-reports channel is most effective
4. Don't worry about not having money to support the game - I'm just happy if people play it and enjoy it!
Hope that answered your questions :)
