itch.io

i just received this in the mail and I love it SO MUCH. thank you for publishing a zine like this for kinks like these, i am enjoying the art and stories in it. however, if i could leave some feedback: the text is painfully small as someone with vision issues; the choice of font exacerbates the issue. i had to go buy a reading magnifying glass for the first time in my life to read it and its very slow-going because of the eye strain. i still enjoy the zine and am happy to have ordered it, but i wanted to mention this as an accessibility issue. thank you!

Hey, I'm on Firefox too! I'm struggling to play most games in-browser. Apparently it is a long-standing issue that itch.io browser games do not work with firefox. I made a thread here in the Questions forum: https://itch.io/t/3084013/in-browser-games-dont-work-on-firefox

Hello, thank you for the reply! I do have hardware acceleration turned on. My PC is a desktop specced for PC gaming, though I put it together in 2020 and have not updated it since so it's not top of the line. It does have Intel i5-9400F CPU and NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1660 Ti... so I should be able to, and am usually able to, play most browser-based games.

Hi, I'm having a lot of issues trying to run games on Firefox in-browser. It doesn't matter what engine the game was made in (Renpy, Twine, Unity), there is severe amounts of lag that loads text and assets and animations in a slow, choppy way. and other errors (screens not loading even if audio does; screens being zoomed in 100-500x even for games that don't have a zoom-in option.)

When I download the games, they work fine booted from my computer directly. Things also work fine so far on Safari. It's just Firefox, and this is only an issue for me since this week, but Firefox has not updated, the issue persists even with all extensions/adblocks/VPNs turned off, and there are no changes in my computer at all. All other programs and websites, including in-browser games on other websites, work fine.

Is there something I am missing? Thank you for any assistance.

Example of diverse games I am having these errors with:

Hello, I'm unsure if I'm doing something wrong, but after I click to start the game in the menu, I get a black screen with background SFX playing. I thought maybe this was part of the game to build anticipation but then 5 minutes passed and it was still the same black screen with the noise of water, boats creaking, a door etc. I clicked all sorts of buttons but nothing changed. I'm wondering if there is something I'm meant to do or if this is a glitch? Thank you.

I really enjoy the atmosphere of this game- the pixelated photos for backgrounds (and character sprites?), the minimal background sounds with the birds, the dripping water. It really reminds me of walking through a forested ravine near my place. I'm intrigued by the story and wish it went on a little longer, just a little more detail about why things turned out the way they did- but at the same time, it's fitting the protagonist has no time to figure out, and there's no need to have anything explained to them. 

I really liked this! I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but I really love the nostalgic use of old-school JRPG/dungeon-crawling level design, juxtaposed with the flashback scenes... Honestly this was a weirdly relatable game to play, so I have a lot of feelings after finishing and getting such a downer ending lol. I really like that the set-up is your classic RPG "fight the monsters to save the love of your life!" plot, but then then the real monster is the love of her life- the JRPG monsters all try to convince her to save herself and yet never bar her way (or is she striking them down without them resisting...?)

I also am very into the use of a "curse" analogy for an abusive and toxic relationship. It makes me think a lot about how so many people, especially women, think they're obligated to try to "change" abusive person they fall in love with, for myriad reasons. But really, it isn't up to anyone to break the "curse" that causes people to be abusive, especially not at the expense of their own well-being and happiness..

A lot of thoughts about this despite how short it is lol. Which just speaks to how much depth and emotion you skillfully packed into it. Thank you for sharing!

Hi, I've been trying to play this, but when I go to the Options menu to change settings for disability accessibility reasons, and try to click "X" or "Escape" to exist the Options menu, I get this error:

"SecurityError Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document."

The game freezes and I have to restart the page for it to unfreeze. I'd like to play with the Dash Always On feature, but because of this error, it's impossible to set it.

EDIT: Just confirmed this error happens with every single one of your games when I try to exit the OPTIONS menu :( Is this something that has a workaround? Thank you.

Thank you so much for the link and resources! Sorry, I figured it out! It was an issue with the XBOX Game Bar overlay that Windows doesn't let you turn off! It works now, sorry to spam your replies!

Hello! I finally started to play this, thank you so much for adding the accessibility feature with the fonts. and I love it so much- the atmosphere created by the art, UI, background music and sound effects all comes together so well. And I love the tone of the writing, how well it captures the story-teller vibe but without taking the reader out of the PoV.

I am just having one issue. The game screen flickers black? Sometimes it's just the CG section of the game that flickers- at first I thought it was intentional in the beginning, to show the protagonist is running through the woods blindly- but then the screen including the UI started to flicker black. It happens every other second when the text or CG changes.

I haven't been able to figure out what would be causing this- I'm playing on the latest update of Windows 11 on a brand new laptop released last year, in window mode with no other options besides the font changed from default. I was wondering if anyone else had reported this?

Sorry this reply is so late but thank you so, so so much for going out of your way to add this accessibility option! Hopefully when things wind down in my life I'll finally have the time to sit down and read this and your new M/M VN too!!

Sorry, I should have specified, it's for in-game! I tried to read it but the pink border? Or background shadow? Around the text makes it fuzzy around the edges, which blurs the characters together, especially after trying to read it for a few minutes. Thank you for considering adding an accessibility option! It's a really lovely VN so I'm really looking forward to reading it!

Hi! I'm very excited to play this VN, the design looks gorgeous and there is really not enough darker yuri with yandere aspects out there. However, I just wanted to mention something, the text is pretty hard to read, it might just be my dyslexia and poor eyesight. But the shadow under the text blurs all the letters together. I just wanted to mention it, because it makes the game kind of unreadable.
