No, this game will not feature poly relationships. We believe that adding poly options to the game, with us not knowing much about a situation like that, will only show fan service type of content and might not be relatable or feels forced, which is not our goal since our goal is to tell a story.
Please send us details in the devlog so we can pin point the error and fix it in the next update. We would need more details if we are to fix this such as screenshots, days, event, etc.
However, if you are using an old save file or an altered save, and the game doesnt progress as you say, that might be the cause as it is suggested to start a new save file since we also update some codes on previous days.
Please make sure to send it on 0.5 devlog, not as a response here. Thank you!
I wasn’t into it at first, but then somehow I just really, **REALLY **enjoyed this game. It is so good, like- I don’t know how to describe more of how good this is, but it is GOOD.
also Ridge’s route at the end of chapter 2 had me be like: **NOOOOOOOOOO! NOT NOW!
**
(I love this game already)
Great question! We won't be implementing poly relationships as of yet since I am not 100% confident on telling a story about it since I want it to feel relatable. Its an idea I tend to move back and forth in but for now, it will stay in the cooler until I get a better idea on how to move with it.
I think that type of story could be made but outside of the original plot as an extra or bonus track in options, as well as, for example, (what if...?), and as a possible alternative, Koku and Ridge, it is a matter of wanting. he he
If this would be the case, we may not add them as part of the game right now as their romantic relationships to each other are something that we want to avoid as everyone has their preferred ship. As the writer, I will not say anyone of them is canon as it is all possible situations altogether, especially since the 6 treats each other differenly, such as Koku with Leo or Ridge, yet having a relationship with each or both is not impossible.
And well, writing all of those possibilities will only drain us for any future projects or updates.
idk why you got downvoted, i was wondering the same thing myself n that's why i came to the comments to see if someone asked this exact question, jus to find it got acknowledged with downvotes instead of an answer lmao people are wild
Maybe because if you scroll down a little bit, there is a comment from developer notifying that it's basically just small qol update? Guy clearly didn't even bother to check if his question was already answered in recent comments.
So sorry to bother but for runan's route I can't seem to find a way to increase his love during day 11-13, I'm not sure if it's bugged or not and just wanted to know if it was intentional
This is not a bug but I will have to look into Runan's route a bit more about this. Rest assured, this should not affect anything in the current update :)
The BGM we use are all taken from various free to use sources as linked in our credits screen such as Dova Music and some here on itch. We tried to encapsulate the particular feeling of listening to MH music by carefully choosing some themes that work with characters, locations, and situations. BUT, none of the BGM are actually taken from the MH games themselves. Just a similar feeling, giving the game a bit more of an identity but also a feeling of familiarity.
We do plan on adding more music in the future update but that will be a while since it will need a lot of careful consideration :>
Also I really wanted to get more music from Frontier but its so specific.... it's actually a challenge.
Jin is a freaking gem and I love him so much? He deserves every good thing EVER.
That being said, what a great and fun VN! The hud is so unique and user friendly. I really love the design of this. I have so far only finished Jin's route up to day 13 but I can't wait to see the others. Awesome job :)
I just wanna say, since this isn't really something usually discussed, but I really like the GUI of the game, the interfaces and menus look so appealing. As well as the small animations and loading screens
I just feel like I had to mention it because not many VNs focus on those, and it's those little details that make a VN that more enjoyable to play!
it's funny how they use 'hunter' to describe what a 'scriviner' is, it's almost as if this word 'hunter' was chosen very intentionally for the potential misunderstand when in fact the word 'scout' would fit much closer and more importantly would have less potential for misunderstanding.
I'm just trying to help improve the textual media by pointing out places where it is obviously wrong. the story and concept are great, i just want the visual novel to be a success but it can't be that with these basic mistakes left in.
Woah really loved the update, every backstory of each characters was pretty well done! I even cried a bit with some of them, thank you so much and keep up the good work! Can't wait for the next update ♥♥
First off let me just say even as someone with very limited MH knowledge I have been absolutely enthralled by every second of this VN, I still manage to follow everything… Second Ridge my absolute beloved you have given me so much brainrot over this complex Tigrex, I have so many thoughts about him and the story as a whole, but what I can say is keep up the amazing work and my god this newest update made me feel so many feelings, and a stronger desire to give Ridge a hug. See ya next update <3
I would like to suggest if you could enhance the gameplay for unlock the save slot limit? Considering the complexity of the game which includes six characters. The current number seems to be insufficient. It restricts explore and rewatch the character interactions, which are important to visual novel.
Hi, after finishing the latest update, I decided to write my review (Spoiler Alert)
This update divided into two parts allowed for an evolution of the characters, especially with the addition of their past, and this led me to think that one day they might see their parents again who perhaps are still alive, but missing somewhere in the world. At the end of day 13 you see the character of the route looking for the Mandragora, only to hear something or someone approaching and a splash. This makes me think of a mysterious attacker who could be a wild monster, a hunter, or someone else from the Guild.
Looking at the remaining spaces in the image galleries I think there are 3 CGs missing for each character.
It confuses me that on day 12 the protagonist says that the next day he would have to return to the Guild after two weeks of stay. He was supposed to return to the Guild on Day 14, not Day 13.
I only have one criticism regarding Runan's character: his dialogues are a bit repetitive. Whenever he appears he often says "Hmph" and things like "It's not like I'm thinking of *what he would mean*".
I conclude by asking if in the end there will only be 6 paths available, because I have met characters who have captured my liking and who I would like to have their own path. I'm talking about Leia and Nasher, despite their initial, how shall I put it... complicated ways, they are two kind True Wyverians. Then there is the Elder (of whom no one has deigned to give him a concrete name) with his wisdom and friendliness, and finally Garu, who is aesthetically better than his son.
PS: If I had to name the Elder, the only name I can think of for him is Haoyu.
Thank you for the feedback! Allow little old me to answer a few of your questions: .

One thing I will get on immediately. The game right now will NOT add any additional love interests as it is already too deep into the story, and inserting them at the end will only prove to be more difficult. This is just to set expectation that as with everything, not everyone will be available and will only be there for support on specific character/s. We don't want to lead anyone on as we keep getting requests to add more date-ables so we just want to set this in stone.
Runan is more of a stereotype. His attitude is very much intentional as he is suppose to be paper cut in terms of who he is. So his wordings and attitude may not change, unless 90% of everyone here just wants to drop the guy :<
The Elder not having a name, similar to the housekeeper, is more of an homage to older monster hunter games where relevant characters do not have a name (Even as far up to MH World). Fun fact, if you name yourself as a default name "Scriviner", some dialogs change when they address you usually by name, as we think it is still something that we want to keep. So overall, he does not canonically have a name other than the Elder.
99% of early Runan behavior is stereotypical tsundere, but that behavior is usually supposed to be "outer shell", so to speak. Will we get to Runan's inner sweetness? If answer is yes, then I don't think anybody will want any changes.
I stumbled on this VN and GOSH. I am in love with this!! I started out with Runan and ended up trying Jin and Leo's routes as well. Gosh they are all so handsome and lovable in their own ways. Enamored with the story and their hot designs. Looking forward to future updates ~
Misspellings are gonna be an often occurance since the game is still in development and we do appreciate the help for everyone that can point them out for us since they tend to go under the radar when we test it.
You can comment on the respective devlog for any bugs or misspellings so we can go through them like a list, making sure its the right version as well.
RodaBlackfang I Don't have a twitter to ask this but I saw that you posted holiday wallpapers for the cast and I was wondering if you could post higher quality versions (maybe with and without the text and white lines?!) Twitter seemed to destroy the quality of them especially joesphs :(.
I really enjoy your guys work and am always looking forward to new updates!
just a shame that twitter destroys artwork by converting to jpg and giving it heavy compression artifacts
Please be reminded to tag your comments with spoilers for those you would like to comment on an event/scenario/dialogue/character in the game to avoid spoiling other's experiences if its something that you yourself are surprised by.
So I just finished Jin's Day 13 and after reading his backstory there is a peculiar individual that peeked my interest. It's the notorious scarlet mystery man. As a long time fan of Monster hunter series and played a few games of it, I'm a bit familiar with this guy and I must say he is still mysterious in this one Lol. There's a lot of speculation about who he is and I'm curious how you'll fully introduce him in this VN since it seems like he is quite an important character here or at least in Jin's story. Also there's that Scrivener too and that's why Gerald knew what a scrivener is. Lastly that to be continued is cruel.
Hi it's me again! I just finished Joseph's Day 13 and that when I realized that why in Jin's backstory the attacker is a Silver and gold rath? Why not an Amatsu? I mean the reason why Zinogre is in misty peaks in first place is because of Amatsu since it droved them away from the mountains where it initially lived. Im not saying that what you made right now is not great, in fact I don't care who attacked Jin and his Mom since the result will still be the same but I guess I felt that its a missed opportunity. Still the game is great and hope to see the next update because like I said before that to be continued is just too cruel.
It is because amatsu is located at a special area, far from the village itself. And the quest does actually exist in game, the one mentioned in his memory. Its just re imagined. It is also I got inspired by a Youtube Video that mentioned this scarlet mystery man. Originally, I was gonna make it way more different, but after that video, I got a better idea on how to aproach his whole story.

Will there be an update where i can get the two daddies at the same Roda?
No, this game will not feature poly relationships. We believe that adding poly options to the game, with us not knowing much about a situation like that, will only show fan service type of content and might not be relatable or feels forced, which is not our goal since our goal is to tell a story.
honestly, major respect for that
okie
The game doesn't progress even if I tap the enter key. Please fix it. Android version
Please send us details in the devlog so we can pin point the error and fix it in the next update. We would need more details if we are to fix this such as screenshots, days, event, etc.

also Ridge’s route at the end of chapter 2 had me be like: **NOOOOOOOOOO! NOT NOW! ** (I love this game already)
okay so this thought actually came from Joseph and Runan in the 6th day... will there be double routes? like... 2 of them at the same time
Great question! We won't be implementing poly relationships as of yet since I am not 100% confident on telling a story about it since I want it to feel relatable. Its an idea I tend to move back and forth in but for now, it will stay in the cooler until I get a better idea on how to move with it.
- Roda -
I second that double routes could be really good, but only ones that make sense (like Koku and Ridge) or already have a lot of route overlap
Either way though I have been pretty pleased with what's on offer so far and look forward to more
If this would be the case, we may not add them as part of the game right now as their romantic relationships to each other are something that we want to avoid as everyone has their preferred ship. As the writer, I will not say anyone of them is canon as it is all possible situations altogether, especially since the 6 treats each other differenly, such as Koku with Leo or Ridge, yet having a relationship with each or both is not impossible.
And well, writing all of those possibilities will only drain us for any future projects or updates.
Great work. Love how the story unfolds. Can't wait to find out what happens next
So new update 5.1 .. Whats new ?
idk why you got downvoted, i was wondering the same thing myself n that's why i came to the comments to see if someone asked this exact question, jus to find it got acknowledged with downvotes instead of an answer lmao people are wild
Maybe because if you scroll down a little bit, there is a comment from developer notifying that it's basically just small qol update? Guy clearly didn't even bother to check if his question was already answered in recent comments.
does anyone know the song in the starting menu i have the melody in my head
Glitch at day 7 on Joseph's route after choosing whether to trust the guild makes it impossible to progress.
Wow great now 10 slots my answer for more slots has came true.
Wait is that all they added to this new version was 1 save page
No, they expanded the story too, added 3 more days for each character
Talking about the 5.1 update not 5.0
Oh, I didn't even notice it was updated again
Question for the devs #2: Are you planning to explore why Ridge has part of a shackle on his right arm?
https://twitter.com/Hopkeeper/status/1788766157828231367
Well, that answers that
So sorry to bother but for runan's route I can't seem to find a way to increase his love during day 11-13, I'm not sure if it's bugged or not and just wanted to know if it was intentional
This is not a bug but I will have to look into Runan's route a bit more about this. Rest assured, this should not affect anything in the current update :)
0.5.1
Uploaded to fix a few bugs that hinder gameplay and some grammar fixes that may have confused the context of Memories.
Question for the devs: Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the game use a soundtrack from MH Frontier? Specifically, the Mezeporta Square Day theme?
Glad you noticed the similarity!
The BGM we use are all taken from various free to use sources as linked in our credits screen such as Dova Music and some here on itch. We tried to encapsulate the particular feeling of listening to MH music by carefully choosing some themes that work with characters, locations, and situations. BUT, none of the BGM are actually taken from the MH games themselves. Just a similar feeling, giving the game a bit more of an identity but also a feeling of familiarity.
We do plan on adding more music in the future update but that will be a while since it will need a lot of careful consideration :>
Also I really wanted to get more music from Frontier but its so specific.... it's actually a challenge.
- Roda -
Yeah, I was able to notice because, well….
Let’s just say Frontier has been brought back from the dead
(Also you can find the OST for MH Frontier on YouTube)
Meu personagem preferido é o Fazendeiro Verde!
Eu diria o mesmo, mas ai eu vi o Ridge e não tive escolha.
Wow....
Jin is a freaking gem and I love him so much? He deserves every good thing EVER.
That being said, what a great and fun VN! The hud is so unique and user friendly. I really love the design of this. I have so far only finished Jin's route up to day 13 but I can't wait to see the others. Awesome job :)
I have now finished all the routes up to day 13 and they are all so good... Ridge is my favorite but they honestly are ALL so interesting.
Ridge is definitely my favorite story out of them all as well.
Ridge is just a good boy, protect him at all costs.
Does this vn have NSFW scenes?
Not yet, but I'm assuming it will in the next update or two.
Oh, ok good to know, thanks.
Actually, there is an NSFW scene at the beginning of day 9 for the Leo and Jin routes. That and Joseph's latest CG isn't exactly SFW
Heh...Monster Humper
I just wanna say, since this isn't really something usually discussed, but I really like the GUI of the game, the interfaces and menus look so appealing. As well as the small animations and loading screens
I just feel like I had to mention it because not many VNs focus on those, and it's those little details that make a VN that more enjoyable to play!
I'm really looking forward for the next update that's really good stuff !
it's funny how they use 'hunter' to describe what a 'scriviner' is, it's almost as if this word 'hunter' was chosen very intentionally for the potential misunderstand when in fact the word 'scout' would fit much closer and more importantly would have less potential for misunderstanding.
the book you are given at the end of day 2, it's called a ledger not a catalog,
a catolog is to categorize things for ease of find, a ledger is what you use to log things that have been exchanged.
God bless the saviour who is here to tell us what’s the difference between ledgers and catalogs. Alleluia
I'm just trying to help improve the textual media by pointing out places where it is obviously wrong.
the story and concept are great, i just want the visual novel to be a success but it can't be that with these basic mistakes left in.
This is a very minor and insignificant issue. With all due respect, I feel like you are the only one worrying about it.
Woah really loved the update, every backstory of each characters was pretty well done! I even cried a bit with some of them, thank you so much and keep up the good work! Can't wait for the next update ♥♥

Hello, a question,
¿ what is the approximate height of the Mc and the characters?
i absolutly love Runan!
The game needs more slots because i had to tipid, tipid my save files.
I would like to suggest if you could enhance the gameplay for unlock the save slot limit? Considering the complexity of the game which includes six characters. The current number seems to be insufficient. It restricts explore and rewatch the character interactions, which are important to visual novel.

The update is amazing. Loved each of their routes as well as the info they gave. I just wish for more. why must there be such a strong cliff hanger
I feel like I should ask privately, so do you guys have Discord or something? I also found some misspellings I think you'd like to know about.
