HELP!!! I Got Lost and Found A VILLAGE That's Full of... MONSTERS!
Repairs and Reparations - V 0.7
Soo...
Been a while...
We do apologize if we took way too long on this update. We had to get some rest and there were a lot of complicated things happening to both of us during the past few months, that we genuinely had no time to even think about the VN. Even though we did try to make as much progress as we could, we still were not able to make it in time. and for that, we are really sorry. So, we wanted to add other things to the game that might still surprise you. I mean... It couldn't be any more surprising than the last update, right? Right?
- Added a skip option that becomes visible after the first run during the Chapter 3 event
- Added additional custom music for Chapter 3 (4 tracks, downloadable on our itch page)
- Improved the tutorial on Chapter 3
- Changed shout bubble on act 3 of chapter 3 during cross
- Added 5 new days, 4 of which are dedicated to dateables, so 24.5 days worth of content.
- 6 new CGs (While the gallery is full, there will be a gallery redesign next update to accommodate more space.)
- 6 new memories
- Changed how NSFW tagging works on the waterfall event. This may be changed in the future depending on feedback. NSFW switch will still censor some images (So far, only Jin, Leo, and Joseph CG). NSFW switch in the future will either show/skip future scenes that involve sexual acts, such as Day 9 for Jin/Leo. (Not including misunderstandings)
- Updated background - Farm, Large Tree behind the Elder's house
- Fixed some bugs where images are not loading due to renpy updating. This may persist depending on the error, so if you encounter it, please report it to this devlog for fixing.
- Some grammar corrections on the previous days (Yes, I still am not very English man)
As usual, old save files may not work due to some programming changes on previous days. For any bugs/grammar corrections, please let us know by commenting on this devlog.
This current update is heavy when it comes to emotions. While all agree that these are indeed fictional, we want to just set in stone that the themes shown in this update are real emotions that some of us go through. However, I would just like to point out that if there are any similarities to anyone, living or dead, they are just purely coincidental.
As the game says, Everyone needs to heal, including yourself. So if you're ever feeling down, know that you are never alone. There is always someone who is willing to hear, help, and hold you through life.
Happy Valentines Scriviner,
- Roda Ruuichi -
PS: This update would've been out a few hours ago but I got stuck on traffic :v I forgot valentines urge people to go out...

0.6 saves actually work this update? I see this as an absolute win
I just find this game and suddenly an update? What the fuck is it, Christmas?
...oh wait, it's Valentine's Day. (...was that planned?)
Got lucky I guess and my saves I had for Jin, Runan, and Joseph all loaded and played without issue. And god damn did this chapter cup-check me in the feels each time. Bravo.
Only immediate feedback I have, for one: during the game, Joseph's face in the 4th CG scene gets blocked by the art of who's currently speaking. Not sure what can be done about that, though.
The second thing I have to say is something that I don't really think is actionable, nor am I certain if it were my call that I'd want to change it? But it feels like after Chapter 2 there isn't a lot of influence that the player has on how the story evolves or can change even in subtle ways. On the other hand, I often suffer from a bit of decision paralysis
because I'm bisexual,so I was content to watch the story unfold without much interaction, especially with some of the heavy subject matter this chapter handled. Also, I'm very aware that adding more story branches or even small things that variables could tweak puts more of a workload on you, and you seem focused on just trying to tell six stories. Which is a lot of stories.Idk, it just bugs me from a design standpoint to see gameplay systems get left behind. Just wanted to ramble I guess. Great work on this update though, can't wait for the rest!
Just to be transparent, we are still in development. Right now, we want it to be linear in a way. Plus, I dont want it to complicate things after chapter 3. While I do agree I will need to revisit old mechanics, its not the right time. While we are making a game, which needs gameplay, it still all about telling a story, so we need to do that first.
I actually mentioned this in an old question, but the game will eventually have a rehaul after we release 1.0 (new sprites, more choices, and more bad endings huehuehue).
As for the Joseph CG, we do want to change it somewhat but I kinda find it funny the face is covered because youre too focused on his... health. So we keep it for now until we might change the cg entirely.
So excited you guys have done such a GREAT job, this is one of my top 5 VNs easily, ty again!
NO WAY :0
Thanks for the content <3
Sad that i cant have more than 10 pages of saves, its really too little for me tho >,>
OKAY the ending really gave me shivers, but other than that it was kinda funny. Save files really gave me some troubles and i guess i will have to re-play the entire game to make everything more efficient >~>
Looking forward to the next update!
Just Finished all routes man it was heavy especially Jin and Koku still love this game.
thank you, you don't need to apologize for the wait, take all the time need and take some off for yourselves from time to time. and also happy valentine's day
YIPPEEEE! Time to recovery from tragedy! Thank you devs!
Thank you... both for continuing this game and what you're saying trough it... and i sincerely hope that you can make it trough the difficulties, without burning yourselves out, and, above all, be happy
I'm having an issue updating on Android. Says package conflicts with existing package.
You would have to uninstall and reinstall the game. Usually this is because of the update I did with renpy....
I'm not late this time and REALLY EXCITED
big Thanks for this update ❤️
Heck yeah! Thank you devs for the new update~!
Yay! The new update is here. :D
Thank you Hopkeepers for this new update. I can't wait to start and see what you've managed to create.
And congratulations for managing to make through it! :)
I'm really glad you've pulled through with this, devs. Looking forward to the future of this game, and wishing you nothing but the best!
Thank you for also assisting us with the community!
Always a pleasure, Roda! Makes me happy seeing how far this game has come!
Damn, time flies. Thank you for update!
