Thank you! Sadly, the Mac version display a black screen indefinitely on my computer. After one hour it made no difference.

Game runs fine for me and others so it's not a dud

Ok, the font used is still utter crap, and the game identifies who is speaking with a gray name above the text box that blends in with a good number of the images. When you go to visit your mom with Gwen and Dahlia, you can't see who is speaking pretty much the entire time due to Mom's gray/back shirt.
The quality of this so so far below the game author's normal work, it's sad.

Why the hell does this keep freezing? Dialogue just stops mid sentence and i can't do anything, clicking anything does not work the only way is to close the game.
The engine is crap. In the main folder there is a file called index.html. Open that file in your favorite browser (I tried in Firefox and it ran well). It does not seem to follow your saves but the browser handles the scripting better than the game itself and it runs smoother with less problems and should let you at least play the game. I am still hoping the author switches over to renpy or somebody creates an unauthorized version because this is almost unplayable on some systems.
Here is a compressed win version of Chapter 3!

I was about to ask if it had become playable by now, but I see it is just the same buggy shit.
I have absolutely no idea what the dev is thinking.
His ren'py game was a mess as well, but at least we had great people here that made it play- and enjoy-able for all of us, with visual novel maker, that's just not possible.
I know VNM games that run halfway decent, but the dev insists on using an inferior machine AND doesn't manage to let the game run smoothly (or at all), that's just a bad joke.
I'm really glad I stopped supporting after Sisterx3 ended.

To the people calling this Tyrannobuilder... I don't think it is... It's
Edit: No need to decode chapter 3... it hasn't been encoded.
Based on 3rd hand information... I do know the author has found using VNM a lot easier to write with than RenPy. And whilst I too wish he'd migrate back to RenPy, my general advice to any developer is to write your game for yourself and ignore those whining gits on the internet. Realistically, swapping back to RenPy would be a lot of work - though given the huge dip in his Patreon numbers... maybe it would be worth it.

The main issue is that NVM handle variables in a really odd way. I'm sure in it's own editor... it's perfectly sensible. But in the json files (once they're decoded)... I've found it almost impossible. It's pretty easy to get a list of variables, but figuring out if it's doing +1 / -1 / set True / set False ... Well, if it's possible... I'm clearly missing something fundamental. Anyone trying to convert the game would need to be able to play-test the game enough to guess how the variables are being updated... or alternatively, the author would need to collaborate.
Edit: I'm getting closer. Turns out variables are stored in generic arrays. Each variable has an associated "index" which tells it which array element to use. So one of the reasons I couldn't follow things was that I was looking for the variable name and not it's index. There appears to be 3 arrays (integers, strings and booleans). Each array has what it calls a domain, which appears to be a unique name. I'm not sure if that's changeable because I've only looked at this one game. Anyway... this is just my way of putting an explanation out there, if anyone goes deep delving into VNM code.

Ren'Py engine is just better for the player and the font is cancer for my eyes
