Others Borrowed Lives [v1.0.2] [Corvienne]

[WarlordTyrant]

Currently having a bug where everytime I hook up with someone and then return to xyz it just keeps me there. It's happens at the library and at the Market. Is there a way to just go back home?

 

[Eillahn]

I'm having a problem with the merchants' restocking. When I click on 'out of stock', it says 'restock tomorrow at 6:00', but that's not the case. There's no more ore or coal to improve my blacksmithing skills.

Guys I think it is worth noting that this is like, extremely barebones and incomplete. These aren't bugs (well a few might be), the game just like, literally doesn't have a bunch of things yet. Like, most things.

Nah, I can confidently say a lot of these bugs are not just placeholders. The ones I've encountered so far are:

• Sometimes you get softlocked after choosing a job. Buttons just stop working for some reasons.
• Sometimes, after interacting with a randomly generated NPC, their name persists no matter where you go.
• NPCs in a "relationship" with you will randomly disappear from the list.
• Save files don't sensibly hold their place in the slot order. If you have 5 save files and delete slot 4, slot 5 moves into slot 4. But if you save into slot 5 after, the new save moves into slot 4, moving slot 5 back to slot 5.
• The intro scene for starting as a farmer basically shoots off twice before you can actually walk around.
• When examining some NPCs, it gives the message "You are naked" instead of them being naked.

As a suggestion, I think the dev should implement a way to toggle how store/storage inventories are displayed. At fullscreen, I'll see two columns of partly cut-off words, but if I decrease the width of the window, it shows them fully under a single column.

This game is pretty obviously vibe coded. Interface is great, there's a fuckload of content but it's all kinda bad and inconsistent and you get the weirdest of bugs - flirting works, but no matter how receptive the partner you can just lean in and kiss and they want to fuck... then you do and suddenly the woman's sticking her vagina into your ass AND picking a lock!! what?!

Thank you for reporting these bugs!

Game is very good. But bugs and bugs and bugs after almost every activity or quest.

Thank you for playing! There are currently some bugs with the quest and cutscene system in particular. I'm working on it for the next patch.

The most common bug I run into is still the combat bug. I'm not sure if everyone else is getting it too, but when you're up against two enemies at the same time, you can clobber one of them just fine.. but the second one becomes completely immune to damage, and I need to use cheats to restore my stamina several times, since the only way to 'defeat' the second opponent is to have them completely run out of energy.


Also, uh.... How the heck do I complete step one of the peasant main quest start? It says to explore the edge of the deep forest. As far as I can tell, I've 'explored' every single section of the forest, deep forest, and even teleported to the swamp and explored all I can there as well. Explored the ancient grove, too. I'm not getting any sort of quest advancement.

Yeah, there's this bug where it makes enemies invincible sometimes, I'm working on it.

For the peasant quest, you have to go deep in the forest, but the quest detection is a little buggy right now as it sometimes will detect it but uncheck it right away.

I really want to like this.
The writing seems fine and interesting, the UI looks pretty good.
BUT...
Sometimes the game goes to wrong passages. F.e. I leave the house and I am sitting under a tree getting to know someone.
Or I am choosing an option to listen to an announcement and I just find myself at the city center.
Quests seem buggy as well, the Awakening quest likes to glitch out when you don't do the three things in order (I talked to my family about the missing night and the options to recall or examine myself are gone). The grocery quest auto-uncompletes after buying groceries (I buy them, go back to the market and the quest goes back to the stage where I have to buy them).

I see a lot of potential, but right now it's unplayable for me. Which is a shame because I see there clearly already has been a lot of effort put in.

I actually upload a fix to the quest-related bugs you mentioned, seems like you were playing with an older version. Still working on the cutscenes but it will be done soon! Thank you for playing.

the game itself is basically not bad, but there is a fat BUT: to make the transition to another location, you need to turn on the cheats, in other ways I have not found how to complete the transition or leave the location, even take the same job at the bar as a Waiter: working as a waiter, you earned such a lot of money, you spent such a lot of effort, you got such a lot of stress. further upon completion, there is not a single button in the location: continue shift / next, leave the location

 

[SleepySnake]

Have not played long but have noticed issues like when you work your full shift at the Inn, you're unable to continue and you'll have to backtrack to leave the shift early, losing any relationship points with the owner. There's also issues regarding the relationship profiles of people you've met. Not only are they very bare and only describe their bodies, they also are removed from the relationship tab after you exit the game. It will still show their affection towards you but you're unable to check the stats without having to find them around town. (Edit: When exiting and entering the game, the genders and traits of characters get scrambled) Otherwise the game has been great and I'm enjoying the freedom of not being forced down a story path right off the bat.

I recently uploaded a fix for the tavern job & relationship profile bug and I tweaked the character descriptions a bit.
Thank you for playing and reporting!

I was doing the academy start of the game and I was just trying to make some damn money and do jobs at the academy and it randomly just gave the prompt "All options lead to the same place you will be moved to the town square" no bitch I want to do farm jobs for some fucking cash, I know all options lead to the same place thats where I want to be!

 

[Chibgy]

Also a nice little bug with combat, You can try to cast spells with no mana so you can just spam click spells which will progress the turn at no cost. So you will most likely win the fight by your opponent running out of stamina.

Because currently in some locations the exit button has "return to previous passage" logic, not "exit the current location"

 

[Ahmet Kaufman-Katz]

For some reason when I meet an NPC and start having shrecks with him, I end up having shreks with another seemingly random NPC.
