Ren'Py A House in the Rift [v0.8.04r1] [Zanith]

[HelpfulSunglasses]

The way events interfere with one another is... annoying.

As an example, I ran Cait's heist, failed, came back and went to sleep. The next day everything was normal. I went futzed around a breakfast date, random chats, and the fox-alchemy potion. Had a dream about the foxy aftermath and woke up... to find out the game thinks it is the first morning after the heist attempt and Cait is acting weird.

This isn't the first such. Go to sleep dealing with event A, wake up and discover I'm dealing with event B and only then get back to A as if it was a continuous event is, if not common, becoming expected.

On a side note, is there a way to jump forward in time/exit the maze prior to running out the clock? I had 20 minutes remaining and just had to walk back and forth to run out the timer.

Yeah. The pileup of triggers got a bit much sometimes. Rae'd ask me for a date then Cait would grab me one night, Lyriel the next, and after they were all done it was like a week later before I was able to go out with my favorite succubus.

Theres a few things like that, like sex in the shower being gated by intimacy before you've had sex with them the first time. Unlocks not quite in the right order, little things.

The maze should end when you hit all the non-trap events (not that kind!), so you may have missed one. That's how it did for me, at least. I had time left on the clock when it ended.

I dont understand how it works . Patreon version is 7.15 while here we have 7.16 . Which one is further ahead ?
And can you recommend , should I start the new game to see all there is or it's fine to keep going ? I still have a lot of quest left but they seem not to progress further even though Im finished with the content for the update . I need help

7.15 is the latest publicly available version, while 7.16 is theoretically only available to paying Patreon subscribers but of course has been pirated here. When you say "the new game", do you mean the latest update? Even if you haven't finished all the content in the previous update, there shouldn't be any reason not to move on to playing the latest one.

Im playing the latest update , but should I start the new game ? Some quest are just stuck plus on some of them I didnt get perfect score , am I missing something ? Even this thing about potions , how do I do it ?

I... kind of liked the dungeon crawling segment?

It was fun to pull out pen and paper and try to figure out the maze. I did get caught up thinking the openings on the side walls could be navigated, but that's relatively minor.

I thought it was really fun as well, and highlighted it as something that sets the game apart from others in my review. It's not that solving a maze is particularly compelling gameplay, but finding each of the scenes was rewarding enough and they break up the otherwise long segment. Most times a minigame is an annoying hurdle to overcome before getting a cutscene so it's refreshing to see a dev who understands what makes even a simple game interesting.

E: New players are still bouncing off the fridge grind years later. People I recommend the game to say they tried it and hated the grindfest before getting anywhere at all. it's a really poor introduction to the game and a stark contrast with the better gameplay later on. It really should be removed entirely - just hardcode "yes, the player has ingredients/whiskey/ice cream" if they've done the fridge once for the quest. I didn't suffer through it, I cheated in 100 of each + cash and called it a day because rummaging for items is no fun at all.

I was asking other people who downloaded it, anyone had any troubles?

It's riddled with herpes, hep b, and gonorrhea.

If you're playing the latest update - 7.16 - then there's nothing newer that that. If you're playing 7.15, then I don't think updating to 7.16 should cut you off from any content. Updates are designed to be incremental. Regarding the potions, if you search this thread for "potion" you should find some posts here where people who have previously had problems with it have been helped. But I don't think failing to complete any of the minigames, like the potions ones, will have any effect more serious that that you won't get to see a scene or two. It won't impact on the main story or on the girls' individual stories.

Android launcher and Rpa? What is that?

Game needs far more Lyriel and Caitlin bullying... the wholesome kind, like grabbing them, dipping them backwards and then deeply kissing them... then enjoy their blush and embarrassment... Lyriel always works best when given the opportunity to be tsundere and Caitlin... god she's cute when she gets romanced...

See in the initial post under Installation, behind the spoiler. If you're asking why it's done that way, for some reason there's a limit on the maximum size of apk files, so devs of games that would be too big have to find a work-around.

Lyriel, Rae, Cait only where do I sign

 

[Visick]

Haven't played since like 7.4. So hopefully got a good amount of stuff to go through

 

[Gabriele74]

do you know the code when he dreams in space?

It's random per save game. So run the dream a few times. Get the code. Use it in a later dream.

Is there any chance for a futa content in the future ?

Hey, I'm having a strange issue. I can play the game but when playing a video, the screen just freezes and the video doesn't play. The dialog continues fine but only the first frame of the video is shown. Has anyone experienced anything like this? If so, how can I fix it?

I've tried updating the drivers and changing the GPU among other things but nothing seemed to work.
