I still believe the files are downloaded from Itch's own servers, since the app doesnt give an error about the files being hosted on 3rd party sites. Looks to be a fairly recent thing as well, so we can easily say there's something wrong with the servers this game is being downloaded from.
For info if anyone is looking to try this, right now the game only has a couple of scenes and about 5 minutes worth of play. More like a tech-demo, really, than even pre-alpha.
Problem is that the first part talks about yellow barrels. If you count them all, even the dirty ones, it's 6, not 3. Seven is in a different area, not the sellers area.
Shhh, dont bring this up, it might get fixed! At the moment this infinite wine thing is the only way you can actually enjoy the game. Good luck trying to get Jay's trust to 600's without it when one bottle gives only 4 trust.
So this needs some more work. There is only one location, a girl comes around randomly to berate you and finally beats your ass because you cant buy enough potions to tough her out. Only a few animations. Potential, needs a ton of work to be playable at the moment.
How do you actually 3 star even the first one? I keep getting the biggest souls you can and tossing them in, yet this way it's not possible to get the 3 star clear it seems. The physics of throwing seem to be a bit off as well; sometimes the balls just refuse to leave the pot. EDIT: Okay, so now I got the gist of this. It's all down to luck; if the little cauldron doesn't give you bigger souls all the time, you cannot get 3 stars. If you play this game, just forget about trying; throw balls in as they come and hope you get the bigger scoring ones.
I'm sorry, but do you really? One of the images on this page, the dark-haired one licking a dick with the dick between her breasts, has so much artefacting that it's actually ugly.
There's an option for skipping the minigames, which is great. What isn't great that it doesnt skip Tailwind, the most RNG game I've played in a while.
Please fix this. I've been trying to beat Lauren in it for almost an hour now and it's just not possible; when she gets to single digit ship numbers, the minigame starts handing her turns cards that massively either give her shield or ship
As someone who has played quite a bit of virtual casino on different platforms, I can't give this game a good score. The bots are always skewed against the player in a major way; there's no way that 20/20 hits in blackjack in a hand you a 10-value card when you're 12 or over.
Guys, it's a porn game. Skew it towards the players side, not against.
Edit: Also, add a "skip all animations" button. Knowing you cannot win 17 in this game and having to watch the dealer hit is just aggravating.
Edit2: And then you put the actual animations behind a paywall when the player manages to grind this terrible system to V.I.P. Wow, this is probably the most scammed anyone can feel.
QoL that NEEDS to be implemented, otherwise the game is clinky and not really very enjoyable.
- Fast mode on cutscenes and conversations. Sometimes you have to watch these many times when redoing maps. A skip button is also a must for all scenes. - More places to save, 1 in each part of each zone. Give a change to reload from save when defeated; getting orcosaurus to 20% then losing and having to do every single objective on the map again is just terrible desing. - Related to save points, when you lose a battle, allow instant redo. It's a porn game, not Dark Souls; redoing whole areas just defeats the whole point of the game.
Is things stand, I regret using 10€ on this game due to how frustratingly bad the QoL is.
I'll be completely honest; I'm way too shit at this game. The gameplay is great, I love it to bits, but I cant seem to get lower than 4 floors max until I'm dead.
Okay, I gave this a fair shot, but the game is extremely unplayable. I made it to the first time you see a policeman in the beginning and the woman berates you. At that time I had already gone through two gauntlets of renpy errors due to assets apparently not being defined properly. After that I was clicking on "ignore" on the errors for almost 3 minutes straight, not doing anything else.
I couldnt continue. This game should not be listed if it's this broken.
Has anyone encountered a bug where the UI is all messed up? For instance, no matter how many times I reinstall the game fresh, the wardrobe menu just shows one hair option which cannot be clicked. No upper menus, submenus or anything like that.
Tried running with -screen-fullscreen 0 -screen-height 900 -screen-width 1600 to see if the problem was my resolution; no dice, same problem. This affects, for instance, all shops, the computer menu (if I click on "experiments" it's pretty much game over; theres no way to click on "Locations" again).
How do you actually start the game? I'm in a screen where I can do customization of monsters, use inventory or shop, but there is no indication on how to proceed to actual gameplay. No button aside from these are present and nothing I press on the keyboard or mouse does anything. There is nothing clickable on the table, either.
Warning to others with ultrawide monitors; you effectively cannot play this game with an ultrawide screen. No way to choose the resolution and much of the screen is cut off from top and bottom.
Some must-haves: - Way to move the window to another screen or freely move neko. - Ability to change app resolution. On ultrawide theres no way to change most settings since the settings window only shows things below "Neko size".
I've been playing this for a couple of days now. The shrine maiden Alice seems to be bugged in the public 0.3.0 version (never seen her at the shrine since she was introduced) but otherwise it's been a real banger.
The animations are great, which was a surprise; by the aesthetic I thought this was another lazy Koikatsu game, but it really surprised me with the level of animation.
There doesnt seem to be any way to actually close the spellbook. ESC opens the settings menu, right mouse button does nothing, clicking out of the spellbook bounds doesnt do anything and there is no button for closing it.
Easymode is often preferred due to the feeling of completion it gives. Just scenes without context aren't as great as scenes with the context gained from interaction. Maybe an easy mode?
I suggest not getting this game in the form it is right now (0.4.5). There's a gamebreaking bug that keeps you from progressing (Black screen, music plays and cursor stays same, but game does nothing no matter what you press) and another quest that keeps triggering no matter what you do forcing you to finish it each time you enter the nurses place.
The launcher is terrible as well. It takes on average 25%-35% of your GPU alone, but can spike to 100% for minutes at a time.
Save system is awful. No quicksaves, no backlog for anything but manual saves. I lost a whole hour of wandering about after the autosave system got me stuck in the abovementioned gamebreaking bug.
The dev is unresponsive. Nothing ever seems to get answered in the comments of the patreon page, even messages. The Baron rank has a full walkthrough mentioned, but this is nowhere to be found.
