Lyriel and Caitlin storylines on the contrary - very slow. When will there be a denouement with these two? Thanks for attention.
Those two have the least amount of content, the story events for them are very limited. I'm hoping the next update will address that.

I've added the links to the patches to the master post, thought they were there already :unsure:
Just keep in mind, the patches can only upgrade an unmodified game to the latest version.


I sometimes have a problem with the animations not looping, they just do a single cycle then stop, even though I can still click through the dialogue as normal. It usually happens with the scene with Rae in her apron in the kitchen. It seems to be an intermittent problem, so I can't figure it out. Usually the animation works, sometimes it doesn't. Is there a way I can fix it without starting over? A House In The Rift is the only Ren'py game I have that does this. I have my save file here.
ZanithOne I know I am probably the millionth person to mention this, but I am having issues with some of the videos not looping properly. The thing I find really odd is that I was able to get a proper loop of the same scene through the scene gallery, but not when in actual gameplay. For instance, the shower scenes with Rae. Those do not loop properly for me normally, but they work as intended through the gallery. I'm not sure if that could potentially help solve the issue, but I assume any little bit could help.
This is a randomly occuring issue with RenPy and webm videos. I may be doing something weird with the code, but I don't really know what it is.

why everytime i load my save on previous version the reply scenes is lock?
This is a known issue. Unfortunately, I have no idea what causes it. I've tried a couple of approaches, maybe I'll try something else later if I come up with another idea.

Reposting because Zenith either hates Me, or Cait, probably both.

The last scene? Probably at least a year away, tbh. The continuation of her personal story is coming fairly soon, though. The environment design is happening right now in the background, and once the next Lyriel's arc gets resolved, I'm moving to Cait's story.

ZanithOne, have you planned adding plot-wise content (etherwalkings, deamon-wars) before 0.5.5 or 0.6.0? I like girls and all but wanna accumulate them in favor for some real deal.
The current plan is to push at least two of the girls' personal stories along, and then decide on the inclusion of the 6th girl. Then the main plot may advance.

I see the crowd talking about the scenes with Yona, but I want to know, who is Master Bruce and the drunk beggar in Naomi's story?
This is confidential story info.

I hope we'll get an alternative version of Lyriel's paizuri without top.
Definitely.

Well the app says that i am at the end of their route for the current version, and additional activities has none currently available for both of them as well
I will need to see your save to say anything.

I love how Cait has been introduced and promptly forgotten about. Just remove the Character from the game if you don't want to complete her story.
It is nice to have variety, but I concord that I've been hoping for more Cait content for a while. Although there is a lot of foreplay, her story path has been silent since forever and there is not sex scenes yet (discount the dream one)
My only hope is keep waiting for a payoff with the next update.
Cait's story push comes after Lyriel's. April/May, most likely.

I spent like 30 in game days edging Cait hoping for a big pay out, and to find extreme sadness that it doesn't do anything...
There is no variable or event when you edge her
Yeah, it's a bit of a dangling thread. I'll try to come back to it some day.


I don't think that's true for all the girls, isn't Caits & Lyriels content tied now or am I misunderstanding things? I haven't played the latest updates but I remember reading someone's post saying they couldn't progress with Cait because they hadn't progressed Lyriels content.

I hope we will be able to continue to ignore girls we have no interest in but it doesn't seem as though the game is heading in that direction if Zanith is making one girls content dependent on another, I would much rather be able to avoid certain girls and have their content be entirely independent from one another.
Some of the events and side mini-arcs will require a certain amount of progression with two or more girls. The two main routes - the girl's personal story and her "kink" route - will sometimes involve other characters, but will never require any progression with them.

Just a hint to ZanithOne:
It makes more sense that the dinner scene with Lyriel happens before Yona arrives.
Also, once that happened the option to ask Azraesha for another dinner should include Lyriel and change to a dinner scene with all four girls.
I assume you will add another dinner scene that also includes Yona, correct?
Yes, there will be more dinner scenes, and there will be some adjustments to the existing scenes to help with the story flow.


Am I right that certain dream scenes with Lyriel only take place if you treat her as a servant/act harshly towards her? I went for the friendly route and didn't encounter the servant dream scene for her so far and I seem to have reached the end of the actual version including her story line so far.
The dream lewd scenes will become available again later.

It's frustrating that the orc already have vaginal sex scenes while the elf and the mage don't have any after all this time (except in dreams for the elf)
Both Lyriel and Cait are getting their first "real" sex scenes fairly soon.

ZanithOne Здравствуй, не знаю, можно ли тут общаться по-русски(ты как-то упоминал, что ты наш земляк), но все равно задам один вопрос: С Йоной, Азраэшей и Наоми сюжет как-то очень быстро развивался, а с Лириэль и Кэйтлин очень долго и муторно. Когда уже будет развязка с этими двумя? Спасибо за внимание.
Лири скоро получит свою первую секс-сцену, потом и Кейт.

I'll come back in June hoping for some more Cait content!.
so disappointed that Cait has had so little content added in the last few updates!.
Feels like I'm being blueballed by her :mad:
Shes also the main reason I started playing this game!.

She is one of my biggest reasons as well. She is my favorite "side girl" for lack of a better term I only say that because there seems to be a real connection with Rae, you know she is the only one you kiss and can go to bed with cuddle ect.

I wish I would visit this place less frequently! Not just for this game but for every one that I'm following here.
You find a new game you like, you breeze through several hours of content, maybe you replay it several times cause it's really good. And then comes the wait between updates...
Sure there are enough games here to keep you busy but still, most of the time updates are not that long and leave something to be desired.
And let's be honest, outstanding joints like AHITR (my opinion) are not outnumbered (my opinion again)...

I too would like to see more <insert you favorite character here> content! And while we're at it can we have the 1.0 already? But ofc it's gonna take time. For this one at least another year of production seems realistic enough (and there's already a trove of scenes/stories here!)
So yeah why not checking every x months? In a covid-less world that would be have been more plausible but now that we're mostly stuck at home never too far from our screens... I know I visit this site every other day.

There is a decent amount of main story but you can still go through it pretty quickly. But the girls on the other hand even the ones with the most amounts are still lacking and they seem to stop right when it starts to actually become eventful. Naomi's for instance. What was it 3 or 4 of her events were just walking around a town doing the same thing until she is almost ready and then "end of current route for this version". It's the same with all of them and there secondary routes are almost non existent.

None of that means it's a bad game at all. But as it is now there is a lot of content that is unfinished which is to be expected for a 0.5 release I suppose. I haven't been following long (unfortunately) I just hope the updates aren't months apart for something you can finish in half an hour.

The problem I see with this game is simply that it is a game in development so it is lacking content.

The first version I played was v0.4.4r1 so there was a good amount of content and I had a blast playing it even if I didn't like Naomi but after that the updates were small and the content not really what I was hoping for I mean the movie night with Rae or the sleepovers with her are nice but I would have preferred actual contend with Cait and Lyriel.
Add to that that I don't like the new girl (looks and personality-wise) and that she gets a full sex scene in her first update I have to say that I am disappointed at the moment with the game.
For the next and probably last girl that will be added I'm undecided because from what I have seen I will like her looks but for her character, I'm not so optimistic.

I totally see where you're coming from with this, but is there an ideal/better development pace? Plus there's likely a sixth (and final) girl crashing onto the house, mechanically meaning less time devoted to producing content for the five other ones! This will no doubt add to the frustation while waiting for a final version. Get in! :LOL:

The problem I see with this game is simply that it is a game in development so it is lacking content.
This sums up the porn games development problem to a T! We're all here commenting and writing reviews for games that sometimes have years in front of them before they're labelled as completed...
I'm unabashedly biased about this game so I'm not too worried content-wise. What's there is already really good, the plot has genuine intrigue and the porn is top-tier. Let's all celebrate the 1.0 in 2022-ish!

I agree. I'm not so much mad at the game more frustrated that you get with her with no effort at all and for Cait and Lyriel you need to go through half of there events for just a hand job. It doesn't make sense to me.

Can't argue with that. It's clear it is still early, even with the main plot the only thing that has happened is touching on your powers and bringing girls to the house. Aside from that nothing else has really happened at all.

Cait is getting another side lewd the very next update, and her story will get a push (and her first "actual sex" scene will become available) in April/May.

The updates are more like 2 to 3 weeks apart, but yes, you can finish most in under half an hour. I go for smaller and more frequent. The arcs stop on a cliffhanger of sorts for a good reason. When there's a big advancement in someone's story, it usually means that I need to create new environments or characters. It's a very time-consuming process. I just finished a new batch of characters for Lyriel's story push, environments and characters for Cait's story are in the works right now, and Naomi's and Rae's stories need a lot of stuff, too.

I agree. I'm not so much mad at the game more frustrated that you get with her with no effort at all and for Cait and Lyriel you need to go through half of there events for just a hand job. It doesn't make sense to me.
It's because of the differing time periods, cultural norms of their societies, and general attitudes to sex and relationships.

Can't argue with that. It's clear it is still early, even with the main plot the only thing that has happened is touching on your powers and bringing girls to the house. Aside from that nothing else has really happened at all.
The second part of main plot will kick in once the full cast is locked in.

how old is azraesha
Quite old in human years, young-ish adult in infernal.

then are there any not of age?
No, of course not.
