is it me or is this update very disappointing? This was my favourite game but it has received very few content since 2023. I don't quite enjoy having an update with 0 scenes while he sells them separated from the game.
Hope it gets better because I loved it, I enjoyed the "romance" on this update but it felt very short.

Nothing that is part of the game is sold separately. The animations on Patreon were free to subs and made by someone else.

The game has lost its "hype" when Zanith decided to focus more on side quests and mini games than to actually progress any of the plot, i doubt he even still know what the plot of this game is, at this point.
This used to be one of my most favorite ones. The characters, the animations, hell even the story was fascinating.
Now I check like once every 5 releases to see if anything has happened. And, well, nothing ever happens.
Fan favorite characters either haven't had scenes in *years* or have had like 1 or maybe 2 added.
The first thing I do when I DL a update is load up the gallery and see if there's anything new added. Cuz, let's be honest, that's why we're on this site. Story is nice and all, but that's not the main reason why we're here.

Yeah I feel like if I tried I could find a list of such events/etc that never get properly resolved(Or our left to our assumption/imagination) and I guess the situation is addressed but not really? Like she apologizes but then with all the drama of her finding out the elves are spies/whatever and it devastating her so much there's never any answer or apology from the girls other than it was a "miscommunication" which is, in my experience, bullshit management says when their lackey fucks up and they don't want to punish them.
Yeah I actually just found that option existed; last time I was so concerned with what Lyriel was going through(I was a SIMP for her(I still am and always will be btw)) I didn't even remember you could refuse to go-which I did this time until I started losing daily points with her at which point I just rolled back to the 2nd refusal.
We don't really know what their intentions are/what they would've done. They could've just intended just to drug/knock us out-but I have my doubts as to what they used because it only wore off once we were back at the house and since nothing can harm us there I have to assume it detoxifies us as well so whatever they used on us could've been permanent/lethal we just detoxed it in time. Also even if it wasn't intended to be lethal I do not trust Irinel to not hurt/kill us and she effectively had control of the situation since the others listened to her and Lyriel was too busy being Lyriel.
Anyway here I go to mute the thread till I find time to play through the new content this update has/what I've missed. Don't know where I'm going to find five whole minutes, though

Hi Folks, can anyone share the updates from 0.8.0.1 and 0.8.0.3, please? I missed them and don't want to have to download the full game again.
Umm idk if this is the right place to ask but, can someone tell me how to play this game on joiplay, I have currently 5 to 6 games on there all running perfectly fine (was tough to get to that point) but this one isn't running well. the control buttons at the bottom are HUGE and the back button does (which is like a must to me) not work, it doesn't glow, like it's not enabled. The leftside rightside roleback does not work idk what the problem is. I did some research before tho, i checked inside game files and it said the script version is 7.6.1 and I have 7.7.1 plugin installed on my joiplay. And it's installed directly inside the joiplay app and when i did download the 7.6.1 it isn't in the joiplay app, (joiplay is 1.20.611 patreon btw) It's outside like a normal app (doesn't detect). Pls someone help. maybe only some settings need to change idk. Again idk if this is the right place to ask I'm kinda new to just about everything.

Having had a look on my phone, no option to change the text size in JoiPlay (This latest version changed so much and not necessarily for the better, just more stable), the back button works (you have to get to the 1st scene before it shows up, in the park before you enter the house) and so does the rollback once you enable it in the AHITR Preferences, it just isn't visible. To be honest though it runs a lot better if you use the launcher with the RPA files designed for Android rather than running inside JoiPlay. Not using the dedicated Android version will mean each time there's an update you'll have to move your saves, delete the old version then after extracting the new version copy your save back as you can't just put the new version over the top of the old and the patch isn't liked by JoiPlay.

Nothing important. Just added some more minigames that the dev seems to obsess with

I didn't know they were made by someone else, I still found them on rule 34 but still this doesn't adress my other points. This game has received minimal updates since the start of the Ukraine conflict where he had to move. Before, you would get major content each update and now its just minor stuff each month. I have no idea how to make a game so I can just compare to other creators whose games I follow, but I think its clear the quality of this project dropped significantly. It was the third game on this site and now has dropped by a lot, and for good reasons. Its still good and I still love it, Azraesha, Cait and Lyr are all pretty and have a good story and development (and scenes). Now, it didn't become worse than other authors, it just aligned with the average standard of very few content each month. I hope next updates are better, but maybe my standards are too high because he started off so well I got spoiled.

I sort of agree with you, however I think the problem isn't so much the Devs fault rather a combination of things. Originally it could of been several months between versions which allowed time for more content per update, but know under pressure from subs has switched to monthly updates which means they have to release something every month or they lose subs and therefore their income. This isn't just Zenith's issue it seems to affect a lot of Patreon backed games. Of course the other side is they're either 1 person or a small team and are constantly trying to balance their vision of the game and what their subs want.
According to the latest Patreon post here's what is coming in the next version:
Take Cait to see the city from above, and help her make a choice
Dive into the Halloween Dream and check out a new scene with Jenny (voiceover coming soon!)
Take Cait back to the University and learn some Important Things (in Beta/EA)
Replay Houseween if you desire, pumpkin (in Beta/EA)

It cannot. But there's a guide (maze at the bottom): https://f95zone.to/threads/a-house-in-the-rift-v0-8-03r2-zanith.29627/post-16476147
