Ren'Py A House in the Rift [v0.7.10b1] [Zanith]

[Dunner]

Planning to play the game soon, just wanted to ask if a walkthrough is needed or is the storyline mostly linear?

I guess it's mostly linear.
I'll preface this by saying that I don't know 100% if you can change the overall attitude a character has towards the MC since I've been playing on the same save since I found the game 1-2 years ago so I never restarted the playthrough to see.

My guess is no since you'll need to increase the stats of all the girls to advance the story but from what I remember choices can lead to:
1. Gaining/Losing Points <- Straightforward and important but there are some times where you will have to choose an approach that will give you a point in either Intimacy or Lewdness
2. Gaining Points (usually more) for 1 stat but losing points for the other <- These seem to be very rare
3. Changing some dialogue <- I assume it's mostly for flavor

So my image gallery is incomplete. Do the little things reappear until you collect them all? And are the ones with no time hints Patreon-only?

It is mostly linear, and you can trigger most of the content by just wondering around the house, checking on everyone.
First days will be a bit non-linear though.

Hey, folks! As I said earlier in the thread I don't comment on leaked versions. I tried to pick out the non-0.6.12 comments and questions, but it was a bit too much of a hassle, so I'll be back when 0.6.12 officially goes public to reply to as many people as I can.

In the meantime, there's a bonus anniversary comic available to everyone here -

Anyone has a save game somewhere around patch v0.6.7r1, 3-4 patches ago? Thanks

In recent updates, the story has become a little "darker" and unexpectedly.. I like it.
I mean, I really like the characters and the gameplay, but in my opinion, the plot needed some intrigue and mystery for a long time.

As if being trapped in the middle of nowhere with a demon, a pirate, a magic student who summoned something extremely dangerous, a racist eleven princess, a giant orc who tried to kill you on first sight and a spy is not dark and mysterious enough.
I always think that MC is too calm from the very start. If I were trapped with a succubus I might panic. I might be afraid of rae for a weeks. Yet MC somehow is super confident that this succubus wouldn't kill him or use him for some unknown ritual.

While I agree, this is a problem in most fiction - films, books, TV series. Many things, especially concerning relationships and emotions between people like love, trust, deeply seated hatred, take time and come with baby steps - and you cannot show weeks of small steps for hours of gameplay/reading time, unless that was the point of the story itself.

I loved that comic. Especially the bit with Yona and the snake
I'd love to see more cute outings like that in the game too.

I mean, the fact that her powers don't work on him and she's absolutely fucking terrified of him probably helps with that.

I'm pretty used to Isekai by now so I probably ignored that detail, but as you say Rae freaking out probably helped the MC keep his calm.

Anyone know when the next update is???

Anyone know when the next update is???

End of the month or the start of June, most likely.

 

[Forgotted]

Geesh.... almost June already.....

Only until she finds out MC is no mage.
Besides, she could beat MC easily in multiple ways, without any power.

ZanithOne just a small thing I noticed. While all the girl seem to follow a pattern in the logbook.
Blar is the only one who has her info mixed up with her personality on top and her race on the bottom

 

[ＧＡＢ]

also we need a daily headpat for the redhead

By that point we've already started to get to know her.
And could she? Aren't we basically invincible when we're in the house? I'm sure she mentions that at one point, and when Lyriel arrives we tank an explosion to the face. That's why her powers don't work on us in the first place; it's not her, it's us.

However, in this order you can combine both lines to form a proper English language short description, while "pirate captain fun-loving" or "in denial dwarf" would sound odd.

Maybe she cannot use her magic on you or kill you in anyway, but she could certainly beat you.

Besides, EVERYTHING you know about magic, about the house, comes from HER. You have virtually no other source of information besides her mind control didn't work on you.
