I can't seem to install the sound/voice patch in the game is there by any chance a future version of the game that already has the sound/voice patch is in the works?

I can't download it in windows, i checked the pop ups and its all good, I don't know what else to do, the download never starts.I can't download it in windows, i checked the pop ups and its all good, I don't know what else to do, the download never starts.

So, when I try to open the gallery I get this:

Any help?

You need to install the VO/Sound patch.

Anyone else's browser calling this a potential security risk and not downloading it?

Can someone give me a discord link that one's expired.

Not gonna lie have had to many issues installing on Android so I'm just gonna assume it's great and call it a day. Also instructions seem kinda vague but could just be to me.

Yeah, let's just say that the code for this is old enough now to be a problem... We're officially working on a total revamp, now.

When is the Gallery being fixed?

How soon is the new update?

(+1)

Just finished the game. Its amazingly well written, great voice acting, the art is jaw-droppingly good and the music incredible.

Thank you very much! ^^

i got the sound/vo patch now what do i do with the rpa file

One of the links is down for Android and the one I did download had a lot of rollback pop ups

I'm trying to do the yang route, but the option doesn't show up for it at the end. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, as I got all of the events leading up to the one with her mom.

Sorry, I guess the game lacks enough diegetic info! You're also supposed to do Raven's route to unlock it...

Found this game before the animated series and I like the game more that the animated series so far! Though kinda wish I could hangout with the characters more like on Saturdays, but not on Saturday.

Why do many pop ups of rollback and ingnore codes.

This strange it say I initiative_list is not defined when try battle mode for any it keeps say sans thing so how do I fix it? 

For Some reason I can't Download the Android Ver. one Please Help 🙇🏻‍♂️

For some reason I can’t download this game to my phone, but I played it on my laptop, and therefore I can’t help but share my impressions.


 This game has everything I wanted in a novel. The game did everything I expected and it pulled me deep into its world. The characters are well constructed, I personally really like them. I like the development of relationships, it is gradual and quite logical, I like the main character. I like the presence of both dirty scenes and romance, I liked David’s partner Jack the most, she’s really cool. Among the antagonists, I give preference to Howard, But of course, all the characters are good and deserve attention, each has its own story, its own unique character and its own cockroaches in the head, I think I like Howard, because in my heart I connect myself more with him, I'm sorry , that so little is known about him and that, apart from enmity with the main character, he has no relationship, I would like friendship, or at least friendship, but alas. I find him very interesting as a character.


 Overall, the game gave me a lot of good impressions, and I want to express my gratitude to the developer. Thank you for your work!

i cant download any of the downloads for some reason

is there an apple phone port yet? Sry I am new to itch lol

Hi! Unfortunately, no. Apple makes it terribly costly to develop for iPhone...

ah, that’s alright. Thank you for replying!

Windows/Linux Link is being blocked and flagged as a possibly tampered download due to insecure link. Though the patch went through fine

Does anyone know the code to put a specific day in the command console? I want to repeat Saturday so I can do all the routes.

Hey, the sounds in the game dont work. It keeps saying file not found trying to find an .ogg file (Example: "couldn't find file  sound/BGS/mecha31.ogg")

It is a very good game is there a guide to all the routes?

Legit better than the series, very well done!

Thank you very much, Snarky ^^ And a happy new year!

I can't download the game it pulls up the screen that it will download but nothing is happening

(+1)

First things first, love the game, especially the jokes. I'd recommend even if you haven't seen rwby. Which I have not but I still love the game and makes me want to start binge watching now. I knew of rwby before because of Red vs Blue being made by the same creators. Also, I don't know if this was the ringtone for every call, but I realized when I was afk during a scene, the ringtone was playing an 8-bit version of Now You're gone by basshunter and I died laughing after realizing. 10000000/10 would recommend.

Someone recognized an Easter Egg ;D Thanks for the nice comment ^^ Feel free to leave a rating too!

It keep sey went I downloaded and star play it sey something bowt penny file or something round and it keep do I hope u guy can finger it out soon on android thx and I love this game I wood love to play it

Sorry you're having issues. If you're still stuck, come to the Discord server :)

Can't download on Android. The download keep won't run at all

It won't let me download the game, the page appears as "blank blocked" and Mega asks me for money. Do you think you can solve it?

The links both work properly on my end. I'd suggest trying to open the links with Microsoft EDGE.

Thanks, it worked for me! Sorry for the inconvenience btw.
