itch.io

I agree that's pretty harsh on not letting people have different play styles and being able to get the best endings. 

It would be nice if every skill check had multiple solutions for more flexibility, instead of requiring the player to have to play one single way in order to succeed. Otherwise despite many dialogue choices, there isn't actually any choice if you want the best ending.

It's not your fault. All the previous updates I downloaded no problem. I was able to do as suggested. But the itch.io app still seems to think the version I'm opening is 1.11, even though I deleted the old one and replaced it with the new one.

Thank you! That worked

I don't know how to update to 1.12

All the previous updates offered to do so automatically in the itchio app when I went to the game page. Not only does it not offer to update my 1.11 but when I "check for update" it says mine is up to date.

I don't know how else to download the update.

Thank you for clearing things up. I was under the impression that "Best not" would end the conversation. I didn't realize it only skipped a single check.

Avoiding the check, I can make it past where I was before.

I know, that's the guide I used. I did all the right answers for both different ways to peace. 1 rejected. 2 (sayra/jarrod) dead

according to that page of the guide i need less than 30 rivalry (+2 wrong if not) and at least 50 friendship (+1 wrong if not). If I get +3 wrong there's an auto fail at the point I'm struggling with. I have both. And I need help knowing how to prevent gisette's rivalry from getting that high and how her friendship could be higher than it is because I did everything I know about. The only way to get her rivalry down would be perfect acquittal but my warfare knowledge is too low to achieve that without starting over.

EDIT: i was not friends with zarad

I wish there was a character guide to increasing specific characters' friendship for outcomes, choices, or endings.

For example, before I get to the week 7 conversation with Gisette, I've done everything else right, but I guess my friendship is barely below 50 (which I assume would be half the bar) and rivalry is 30 or higher. My friendship might be 40 or even 45. Other than Katiya's footsteps I don't think I did anything else to get Gisette Rivalry. I invited her to my events and gave her the best gift and succeeded in her event.

What other friendship boost is there? I used the guide to pick all her best conversation answers. Maintained her friendship after week 3 getting matched with someone else. At the beginning I successfully lied to her about supporting her. I visited her in the Gazebo after the horse ride.

I failed the check after the "great arguments question" I never got to the blackmail option. I went back and tried for the Sayra/Jarrod marriage and she killed me.

Can I convince Gisette to peace without getting a perfect acquittal? I got the next best thing. I guess that also adds rivalry. 
And why doesn't respect factor into these? I literally have respect from her maxed.

you're having the exact issue I had a couple weeks ago. Everything that was already said

But you also might need Rebel approval. After the last rebel secret, Mrs. White in the servants quarters, if Clarmont's rivalry goes to 50% then rebel approval isn't high enough.

Did you get Mrs. White's Gift and Sayra/Ria's gift before the breakfast?

And on day 1, did you talk to Gisette at all? if so what was the last answer you gave?

Is there a quick way to view the list of physical attributes we chose for our MC?

So I absolutely swear I chose all seven Jarrod reform flag options but there was no conversation with him triggered before the revaire negotiations. I wish there was a way I could check the game log to know for sure if I got them all or unknowingly missed one.

Is there any other requirement I could be missing? I didn't finish the rebel secret this time through so I never got choices with Gisette. I'm not on his romance path and my background is Revaire. But the guide doesn't list any other requirements outside of the "reform flags"

For endings. If you're from Revaire. Will you always get a bad ending unless you get peace or able to take a side?

gotcha. thank you 👍

one more question. do you know if the relationship scores are considered when you send the invite or when the event happens? since Ana's date happens after you send the invite but before the event, does what you earn affect the acceptance to the invitation or was it already decided before the date, when you first sent the invitation?

I don't know if this is intended, but when choosing to lie about our ambitions, we still have the option to pick the same ambition for our secret ambition as our public one.
Does doing this count as a lie, even though it's the same?
Or does it still count as the truth, giving you the chance to make it the truth if you changed your mind, without having to rewind?

According to a guide, Ana's acceptance to your week 1 event is automatic, but she declined. Was this previously true and now changed? Or do you have to have zero rivalry? The only rivalry answer I gave was for the etiquette boost on day 1, but gave the best answers all other times including her date.

I finally succeeded! Rebels won.
Based on everything you said, I'm going to see if I can use this build to get the peace ending too by redoing week7, without having to go farther back. Although there's no additional boosts I will get by doing that right? Does a perfect Sayra ending have a new boost?
And there's no benefit to supporting the royals on Clarmont's route right? There will just be different text and I'll have to kill him 😭?

I also happened to get the best friendship ending with Penelope too! So 3 stat boosts obtained.

I'm in the middle of the conversation with Sayra in week 7

And after making the "we can do it" selection for the ally question, 
her avatar turned into the Skalt Ambassador when she said "...Are you certain".
I was really confused because I thought he joined the conversation 😅

Her avatar reappeared during the description that starts with "you curtsy", 
but you can still see the Skalt ambassador's avatar behind her.
Skalt ambassador only disappeared when the scene was over and we moved to the bedroom

I don't know if you need more info. But I'm the Countess and I'm romancing Clarmont.

I wasn't being rejected. We were engaged and everything at the end of the summit. I'm just trying to prevent Clarmont from dying at the end without bringing peace to Revaire. 

I was told it's possible to get a "not bad" ending for Clarmont by siding with the rebels and not bringing peace.

I'm currently in the middle of week 6.  I was able to choose to actively participate in the rebellion and I got Sayra's secret. I'm hoping to get a real Clarmont end this time. I'm not expecting peace. I don't have any of the Revaire peace flags because I didn't get to interact with Gisette or Jarrod (i was too ugly to get invited on his date despite picking all the best answers Day 1). Though I was able to get slight revaire approval with the best "improve reputation" option.

In order to not have Clarmont die when you select "support him from afar" (instead of actively participate) do you have to bring peace to Revaire in order for him to survive in that route? Because I made it to the end but he died in the war and because it wasn't a good ending I didn't gain the countess or clarmont bonuses.

Do I need to invite Sayra to the first event even though I know she will decline? That's the only thing I didn't do. I didn't realize the importance there can be of inviting certain people who don't come, just to raise stats with them (like Jasper). Does increasing Sayra's stats affect the rebel approval?

I've figured out the main secret every time just without the Sayra part. So she's the reason I can't participate in the rebellion? Where in the timeline does she tell you her secret so I know if I've messed up? Before the play but after the trial? An exact day would be nice if you know it. Do I need to receive Mrs. White's gift too? Or is it possible to get Sayra's secret without receiving the gift? Because I don't know what I'm not doing in order to get that gift.

My current build doesn't have high enough persuasion to give me the option of a public ambition of Katiya's legacy. Is having that as a public ambition required for the rebels? Do I need to redo the character build to increase my persuasion to make it possible?

@Aly

I wish it was possible to look at a whole list of all the choices you've made and alter one as far back as the beginning. And if changing that choice alters any other choice you've made, you'd be forced to choose a new option. 

It is SO ROUGH having to replay from the beginning or even having to redo 1 week or more, if you did everything right except one choice. There has to be a more convenient way that would make a better gameplay experience instead of having to go through dozens of prompts and remember all the things you chose. There has to be a better way to get back to where you are instead of reselecting a ton of things you just did.

Especially the exploration phase. In the process of replaying from the wrong choice you made, you might forget to do a single stat increase that makes a new mistake while you redo everything to fix your old mistake.

I pretty much always get the best sayra choice. My insight is always high because I've memorized all the right answers for gaining insight on day 1.

I did every single one of those things you mentioned, and didn't receive the rebel gift. Any time I could comfort Ria instead of receive a stat boost, I did. I received the Ria/Sayra gift.  And I got Ria's confession.

Anything that boosted Ria or Sayra I did. I invited Ria to both events and I invited Sayra to the girls night. I didn't have the stats to succeed in the onvu tournament.

There's one rebel approval thing I missed the first go through which was responding to Lady Estelle about Imogen being innocent. I'll find out at the end of week 4 if it will let me choose to participate in the rebellion. I'm using a guide to boost my persuasion everywhere I can. I'm going to assume if I still can't continue the romance by picking that answer that I need to redo it...AGAIN.

Do I need Sayra's secret for a successful romance with Clarmont, so he survives to the end without peace?

and omg, i just remembered something and it will blow my mind if this is the ONLY reason I'm not getting the rebel gift because the guides don't say that this choice affects any approval. Because I thought it only affected my personality. But on day 1 when talking to Gisette, because i have no manipulation, I choose to say I support her in order to improve my relationship with her and nothing else. Might I have to either avoid talking to her or support the people?

EDIT: I still couldn't choose the "participate in rebellion" 
According to one guide all I need to get it are the right answers and ethical. Do I need to be max ethical? I'm almost max but not quite.
I'm not even sure what choices I made that prevent full ethical...unless it's the option I mentioned above on day 1?

I don't think I've ever gotten the rebel gift in any playthrough, even in the first 3 week demo. Maybe once  when the demo was new, but not in the last couple years. How do I increase the rebel approval that much that early?

and according to the most recent guide posted in guides, you need a minimum of 250 persuasion to have katiya's legacy as a public ambition which I didn't have. Having almost no manipulation and low charisma are probably hurting me early on, since they're part of persuasion.

I'm attempting another go with my Countess build. without the rebel gift and without the public katiya ambition.
I already ended up with perfect acquittal, which I didn't get the first time with the Countess.

Oh! Do I need to have Katyia's legacy as a public ambition in order to side with the rebels?
I had it as a private ambition but had a different public one.
I'm trying to figure out what stat I'm missing when I was able to support the rebels but didn't have enough of something to participate. I thought my persuasion might have been too low? Could that be the only thing stopping me?

 I made it to the end with his proposal but Clarmont died in the war.

I was trying to get a good ending while romancing Clarmont as the Countess

Can you do it without bringing peace to Revaire?

He would dump me if I tried to participate in rebel activities. I had to choose support for him to continue
I had very low manipulation and cunning the entire time. Charisma wasn't great either.
I tried getting in with Sayra. I got her and Ria's gift but not Mrs. White's. Never found out Sayra's secret.
I did solve the murders though.

Zade

Misha

any gender

Zion
Hebrew, meaning "highest point"

(i thought of this before I saw the other suggestions 😳)

Vestia

'V' names always feel villainous to me

Ronan– i feel like this could be any gender

(could you post a list of all existing character names in the game? It's hard to remember them all)

Elian

I'm on the mac version, and I open it through the itchio desktop app.

So in fullscreen mode, if I try to alt+tab to something else, the game window disappears and I can't alt+tab to it or see it when I look at all my open apps.

But it's still "open" and when I alt+tab to the invisible app, I still see 7kpp in the top left corner with the dropdown menus on my home bar. If I choose to "hide 7kpp" and then alt+tab to it, the window reappears.

But I assume I should be able to alt+tab between it and other apps without having to do that.

Absolutely can't wait. This is a beautiful game and I'm excited to finish it!

Amazing work!!

have you tried repeatedly using the tongue on his fingers? I think that's how you get it, but I'm not positive that's how I got it. It's been a while.

Help, I'm only missing 2 hikaru CGs but I'm missing 4 scene replays in the replay list. Are there two scene replays that don't have CGs?

I know which CGs I'm missing. I'm missing the cat costume one and I think I'm missing the revenge CG.

On the replay pages, I'm missing the two scenes after the fingering scene (which I assume are my two missing CGs) but then I'm missing two scenes listed after the surprise kiss scene on the last page

Is there any bonus/cheat from getting hikaru's best ending? (he was who I played through first, and it kind of sucks for replays if he doesn't have one) I'd have thought it'd be fame related.

Also, am I remembering wrong, or wasn't there supposedly going to be some in-game benefits for being a kickstarter backer? 

Or if there's still going to be, maybe it's just not going to be implemented until the fully voiced version?

You could also make it unlockable after getting a single ending, since the purpose is for replays anyway.

but so does this mean the skip function is available now via a new download?

if you get enough money that it's not an obstacle, it's worth donating at the shrine because the greater amount of money you donate at one time, I think the more your affection increases

I had sex with him 9 times and still never had it happen.

in regards to chibi drawings, I only managed to get half of them cuz no matter what I did, most of the time about 3 or 4 of the same ones would trigger again and again, sometimes twice in a row. It got really repetitive. Are there just specific combinations in foreplay that trigger the other ones? Or do you just need to have sex more times to unlock them?

Why is there an audition star on December 26th? I never got a prompt for a job that has an audition on that date, yet the star is still there. I can only assume the star is there by mistake? unless there's conditions that must be met to have that audition be available if there is one?

is there a good place to report bugs? Like here? DM on twitter? e-mail?

cuz hikaru just vanished out of his clothes during our date at the arcade. Just his shirt and sunglasses were there. currently lovers with him and it's august 17 in-game, and wearing preppy style. This happened while progressing through the initial dialogue before the actual date sim part started. One of the times I clicked he just vanished for about 2 or 3 clicks of dialogue and then reappeared.

i want to know that too. how do we get the updates into the game? Do we redownload it from the email link?
